“There’s a whole lot out there that is false, and I suppose some of it could be people lying to reporters, I think that probably happens, but I think more often than not it’s people who act like they know when they don’t know. …" James Comey to The House Intelligence Committee
Fake or False News has become a big issue. I talked with the several local News Reporters and found them outraged. The takeaway from that short talk in Shawnee, OK was simple. When people lie to the press, they do so to stir up bad feeling among portions of the public against a person or cause. It's hard to know what's real and what isn't unless you do the research. Then you can't just call the person a liar. The Defamation Laws prohibit it. I also learned that they are being very careful what they report. Bottom Line: At least the Reporters, in my neck of the woods, are making the attempt to verify before the report. That's better than it could be and not as good as I'd like to see.

It's time for a change. I fear this is a return to the past.
THe time is now for a change. There is One Provider in the County where I live and the cost is over $2,400 a month for my wife and I. They've cornered the market so they believe they can CHARGE what they want. It amounts to EXTORTION! The new plan however will leave too many people out of the loop. Not Cool at all. What ever happened to compromise.

From Hopeful to Disgusted with Trump
President Donald Trump just could not leave well enough alone. With the Russian thing still simmering, he accuses former President Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower. Even if it is true, Twitter isn't the place to voice the complaint. THe place to present the evidence would be to Congress's Ethics Committee. Well, it will never be boring with all this garbage floating. To #Trump learn to keep your cards close to the vest, please!
