This digital periodical will question the ridiculous nature of those in power constantly trying to convince us they have our best interests at heart. Thinking the worse about those you govern won’t endear them to you. Being fawned over by those with paid access is not flattery United States Senators and Congress members.
Manipulating the haters and the willfully ignorant among the citizenry to trouble people who’ve done them no harm blots your soul. Along with a myriad of lessons this world teaches you; I have witnessed God’s word in truth as he seeth that everybody’s day will come…
Article 18: A Strong Antonym of FAITH is DISHONESTY
I have to get this dig in about the Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Why didn’t she set up a photo shoot in front of the President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro jail cell in New York? Or why didn’t she set up a perp walk like the former Mayor of New York did with the health care CEO’s alleged murderer? I think Secretary Noem missed a golden opportunity to show the MAGA base she hasn’t lost her taste of vile cruelty by making another mockery of the accused. Like Nick Nolte said in 48 HRS, ‘You ain’t built up no points boy’!
Now, as it is certainty necessary to show people what they voted for even when they make all the excuses in the world that that is not what they wanted Donald J. Trump to do. Let’s look at neglect. What happens to unpracticed faith? I’ll answer the question for you. It’s what happens to anything you, human beings, deem important to their daily lives. It withers on the vine. An often used description that crystalizes anything of value or what we hold dear in indisputable reality.
What defines the moment of clarity when what we didn’t purchase arrives gift wrapped at our door is what’s called the ‘butt of the joke’. Can’t send ‘dishonesty’ back. No! You can’t slap a ‘Return to Sender’ label on Donald J. Trump and redo the President election of 2024. If you didn’t understand the ‘description’ of the product underneath the picture on the packaging. Tough luck! There are no buybacks. No exchanges. No calling ‘the company’ and complaining about ‘this is not what I ordered’.
That’s the product you got. Just like that auto salesman said to me back when I was a 22 year old ‘wet behind the ears’ fella that thought the ‘seller’ did the ‘buyers’ homework as well. ‘It’s not my job to know what you’re buying, that’s your job’. After the explosion of anger ran its’ 5 second course through my temper I said to myself, ‘You know what? He’s right. That is my job to know what I’m buying’. Yeah. A used car at 31% interest. Yeah. Stupid me.
So, the answer I locked in my head then that I still live by today. I can blame everyone else for their dishonesty while claiming truthful dealings on my part. That’s a lie I was not going to ingrain in my psych then and I never did.
Dishonesty of one’s own currency in the political marketplace is no different than in the commercial marketplace. You get what you pay for period! Except the political marketplace is deceptive and it should come with a warning on the ‘label’. BUYER BEWARE.
Lastly. Let me leave you, my loyal users, readers and seekers of philosopher teachings. What does human nature inform you about what’s going to happen next in Venezuela? Exactly my friends. Discord, uncertainty, shattered governments don’t motivate the masses to work together to solve the emptiness that truly occurs when ‘something’ you’re used to stops.
Buckle up doesn’t even begin to grasp the onslaught of what’s about to happen. Couple that with a buffoon like Donald J. Trump that doesn’t know the first thing about keeping a society functioning. Oh boy.
Talk about being in a seated position and hearing the news that a government just fell? Don’t kid yourself. The ‘trouble’ is just starting.
Yeah, I’m glad I didn’t fall down upon hearing about Venezuela. The ‘FAITH’ you put in Donald J. Trump hoping he would make your life better, and then to say that ‘faith’ was misplaced is a colossal recrimination.
It would be funny if all of us, including the world, was not in deep SHIT right now!
