Misdirection

Ask yourself what were the main issues one week ago. Let me remind you:

1. Congress passing warrantless spying on American citizens who were not members of Congress.
2. The House passing funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan military operations.
3. The House members waving the Ukrainian flag on the floor after the vote.

There was some discussion about Mike Johnson’s complete capitulation to Democrat demands for protecting his position as speaker. This included the abandonment of his promise that no funding would be made for foreign wars without border security.

A week later, the misdirection is completed as the headlines are focused on the Trump trials, pro-Palestinian university protests and tornadoes in the midwest.

Do you not wonder how the war in Ukraine is going? Or are you wondering how much of that “aid” will be laundered into Congressional pockets from the military industrial complex since that war is lost.

Do you not wonder how many people were killed in Gaza by Israeli forces in the past week? Are you not concerned that Lebanon, Yemen, Iran and Iraq have been quiet?

Are you wondering why we have to send military aid to Taiwan since they are not at war. Or are they trying to provoke China. Did you see how China insulted Antony Blinken during his visit there this week?

Are you concerned about banks, banking failures and the collapse of the Yen? Do you think there is a reason that gold has skyrocketed in value with only a slight correction?

Or are you concerned with real life:

1. The price of groceries
2. The price of rent or a mortgage
3. The price of gas
4. The price of health care
5. The price of car insurance.

The middle class has been eviscerated by the government and we are still misdirected, vilified and bankrupted. Keep this in mind as we are subjected to new “issues” next week.
