I QUIT THE ADDICTIVE FACEBOOK

I have spent time on FB as an activist, trying to explain why donald j. trump is a danger to our country, megalomaniacal egomaniac in the exact place an egomaniac should NOT be. He has the attention span of a gnat and the temper of a mother cow alligator who’s hatchlings are being threatened, creeping along the swamp he’s trying to drain. And, only that cow (trump) can swim in that swamp. 

It was all to not avail. Only the choir was saved by my preaching. Republicans refuse to believe facts. They’ve been brainwashed not to accept anything unless trump says it. I’ve been hitting my head against the wall. 

I find it amazing that his followers believe the media lies when they simply use trump’s OWN TWEETS. 

Even in this morning’s paper, one Letter to the Editor said, “What I am hoping for in 2018 is that the American public begins to see how Democrat-biased 90 percent of the news media are, including the Star, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, ABC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times, Washington Post, The Associated Press, USA Today, Time and Newsweek magazines, etc. These broadcasts and publications are no longer just reporters of the news but are advocates of Democrat policies.

They are filled with journalists, many of them millennials, who have been indoctrinated in liberal ideology by their professors in college. It is unfair and unjust to the American people, the legislative process, and to the election process when the news media is so overwhelmingly biased, which has great sway over the minds of the not so informed public! I am sure that the Founding Fathers never meant for the First Amendment's freedom of the press to be an extension of and advocate for a political party.”

This is the mindset of the indoctrinated. Unaware that all the media has to do is reprint trump’s OWN TWEETS…nothing more. They are racist, sexist, egregious, inflammatory, hateful, biased, uninformed, uneducated, misstated, lies, obfuscating and every other single adjective you can use. No commentary need be given by the ‘so-called- biased, liberal media.’ trump does it all by himself. 

Yet these people DO NOT BELIEVE THAT. I have given up trying to figure out why. So should we.

We need to begin thinking of this ‘glitch’ in our history that historians will try to explain away 75 to 100 years from now, as we have tried to explain away the Slavery, Civil War, the Viet Nam War, Herbert Hoover, Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge, Prohibition, Segregation, Joe McCarthy, 1929 and so much more. Texas Republicans, who dominate the input into school reading materials, have written many of these, and more, OUT OF SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS.

We were in a much better place before the assassination of John Kennedy. I believe, had he lived, we would STILL be in a safe place, albeit, with a few problems. 

I thank everyone who supported me and fought me. I’m afraid, in my anger, at times, I may have alienated friends and allies due to the lack of clarity in writing, allowing for a reason to misunderstand what I wrote. Many times, I had to re-read my post to see why friends were upset, only to find a comma or misused word that changed my original intent. I use a lot of commas to write as if I were speaking (something I was taught in school in the middle last century - BOY, that sounds old).

I also write long posts. I realize they should be on my post, and some have been. Much shorter versions have also been published in Letters-to-the-Editor. About 8 or 9 times per year. Forgive that as well. It’s just, I have so much to say. Thank you for reading those diatribes.

I thank you, over and over, for being my friends.

Now, I’ve kicked this addiction. Back to painting and writing. Support LIVE THEATRE. Any LIVE THEATRE. But, especially, local community and non-profit theatres. IT IS REAL. It will make you think. Keep your minds open. and remember, in the words of Jack Webb, “Just the facts.”

VERY IMPORTANT! - trump successfully diverted attention all week with his false rhetoric, tweets and insults, defaming veterans, Puerto Ricans, widows of dead soldiers, a Black Congresswoman, and who knows how much more, while his new, "old friend," Mitch McConnell set his Mongol Army on American Citizens. trump is the beginning of the final chapter of the Republican effort to show, Democracy doesn't work. The Country doesn't work. To bring down the Whole Country and Stephen  Bannon STATED VERBALLY and in PRINT he wanted to do. Reduce the Federal Government to a small "caretaker" government, where the citizens MUST rely strictly on their own for survival, no matter the circumstances. NO ENTITLEMENTS of any source (MEDICARE and SOCIAL SECURITY ARE NOT ENTITLEMENTS.  BEWARE OF trump's TRICKS. Now you can see how they work.  > trump did his job. While he diverted the country with his insults and inane comments, lies and B.S., and the media assist...

Hypocrites or not? You decide..

. SHELDON METZ · SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2016 To my ultra-religious friends who quote bible passages and support Trump, how about hearing this when he speaks on TV? Actual quotes fro a rally: DROPPING THE F - BOMB: "The Donald," as he is known, enters the arena, more as a billboard for self inflicted controversy. The supreme aggrandizer, somehow, stays in the game. Willing to use opening phrases such as, "Listen You Mother F*ckers …," which is cool, if your, you know, watching a film by Martin Scorsese, a play by David Mamet or listening to a rap song by Ice Cube, but as a presidential candidate, this is not cool at all. Once he gets a taste for the reaction, the audiences nervous laughter, the cussing continues. On Foreign Policy: "We build a school, we build a road, they blow up the school, we build another school, we build another road they blow them up, we build again, in the meantime we can't get a f*cking school in Brooklyn." On...

Trump’s great satirical performance

Republicans, lie after lie, still support the Agent Orange-in-Chief. They know he lies, admit it in fact, yet still “believe in him.” How can that be? He recently held a Cabinet meeting, similar to one held a year ago, where he gave his sycophant Cabinet Secretaries the opportunity to praise glory on the exalted Russian lackey, himself - one of his greatest satirical performances. Trump: “Every day, Border Patrol encounters roughly 2,000 illegal immigrants … trying to enter our country. …”  Fact:  The daily number of what he calls “illegals” is actually about 1,000.  Trump (regarding Foreign Aid): “… the Democrats… want $12 billion additional for foreign aid… It’s $54.4 billion… but in foreign aid, they want 12 billion over the $54 billion…”  Fact: The total fiscal 2018 budget for the State Department ($12 billion), and foreign operations including foreign aid, $42 billion. Republicans control the Senate. Trump: “(Afghanistan) built the library in Afghan...
