GUEST POST BY DAVE MILLER

 

Not enough people are talking about…

 

Venezuelan airspace being closed... Yes, somehow the Trump Administration has determined the US has a right to unilaterally close any sovereign nation’s airspace we want. Under what authority? Why? No news yet, but stay tuned, I’m sure President Trump will let us know.

 

Trump Announces Pardon for Honduran Ex-President Convicted in Drug Case… Somehow as drug trafficking has become so important we need to bomb single boats in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and close the airspace over Venezuela, it’s okay to pardon a drug trafficking felonious Ex-President who worked alongside Chapo Guzman of Mexico to supply cocaine to Latin American and the US.

 

Sec Def/War Pete Hegseth orders survivors of US air strike bombed again to make sure they are dead… If this is being reported correctly, Hegseth is guilty of war crimes. The Geneva Conventions clearly state that survivors are to be captured and treated humanely. And the US has signed on to and agreed to this. This is one of the major safe guards in place to protect US military personnel abroad.

 

Some Trump voters are struggling to square compassion, Trump’s words and reality… Here’s a story of a conservative Trump supporting mom who is working to care for peaceful immigrants in her town, while the Trump Admin lies about their criminality and works to deport them.

 

President Trump is continuing to cut tariffs… The big question is why is the Trump Admin cutting tariffs? They continue to insist prices are not up. So why sacrifice the income for the US? They continue to say tariffs do not raise prices, so what effect on the US economy can cutting prices possibly have?

 

Regarding the Afghani shooter… Fox News is reporting that National Guard shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal was an elite CIA operative, vetted multiple times across two US Administrations and was legally in the US because the Trump Administration approved him for residency. Many conservatives, including apparently President Trump, are unaware of these facts, as evidenced by him calling a reporter who questioned him about the apparent conflict of his words with reality, stupid.

 

Vinyl Records… Vinyl records, known for years as LPs, are in a bit of a resurgence. In a change of pace, check out the great story I linked above on vinyl recordings of all types. It may be just the tonic you need to forget about politics for a few moments.

 

6 - 7… Are you aware of this? In the last two weeks after returning to the US, I’ve spent some time around middle schoolers and all they talk and dream about is 6-7. Check it out in this crazy clip.

 

Finally… who knew the great John Williams of Star Wars fame, wrote the original theme music for Gilligan’s Island? It’s true and here it is.

I’m sure some here will quibble with these stories, or the sources. You cherry picked them, they’ll say, and it shows your bias. Maybe so, but each and every story I’ve highlighted here can be found on traditional news sites, conservative sites, progressive sites and independent sites.

 

Except maybe 6 - 7, but who knows.

 

Enjoy, on to the comments.
