While Republicans and Hillary Clinton haters get fitted for tinfoil hats and line their rooms with aluminum foil to keep out the aliens, real issues are being ignored.
Fox News is filled with daily nonsense and biased innuendo trying to bolster its base audience with speculation that Hillary Clinton is either brain damaged or hiding a stroke condition. They have used a video of her in a gaggle of reporters jokingly bobbing her head over the onslaught of questions being hurled at her. The have shown a video of her being helped up a flight of icy stairs as proof. Former New York mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani has touted bogus website sites to prove the point. I might add if you google Giuliani, you get bogus information stating he has Alzheimer disease.
Meanwhile the Republican propaganda campaign against the Affordable Care Act is working its evil magic.
Without changes to its bottom line, United Health Care, the biggest insurer in the country has stated it will pull out of the ACA by 2017. That would jeopardize the health care of about 18 million Americans and counting. This crucial news is being swallowed up by phony e-mail controversies, stamina and readiness discussions and a general waste of America’s time. No objective mind thinks Donald Trump is competent to shoulder the mantle of command for the most powerful military in the world.
The corporate media is trying its best to create a contest based on personality and likeability because it knows, on merit, Mr. Trump has no business being in the same arena with former Secretary Clinton. So TV anchors amuse themselves, like they are teasing cats with toys, by allowing Katrina Pierson and Corey Lewandowski to spew unsubstantiated facts and just plain lies. Apparently Ms. Pierson was granted a medical license in the past few weeks because she diagnosed Mrs. Clinton with dysphasia(sic). Lewandowski, Trump’s former campaign manager, seems to be behind the effort to expose the Russian ties with the man who was responsible for his firing, Paul Manafort. Donald Trump seems intent on surrounding himself with yes men, believers to a cause only he knows. His plan to stop ISIS, a secret, his plan to deport eleven million immigrants, to be announced, even his tax returns are shrouded in mystery.
A dog whistle is being blown every day.
So we are left with a right wing media arm of the conservative movement, FOX News, who just today is reported to have one of its most successful commentators advising the Trump campaign, one Sean Hannity. It appears the fair and balanced network has finally said out loud what we have all known for years. So lost in all the bombastic, dog-whistling racial rhetoric, xenophobia, gay bashing and misogyny, a very easy choice has been reduced to a popularity contest. The question is asked daily, “do you think Hilary Clinton is honest and trustworthy?” My answer is a resounding YES. I am fully confident that placing the nuclear codes in her hands, the might of the United States Military and the interest of the country is prudent and sensible.
