It always amuses me when people talk about fixing the human race. From the beginning of time until today there is no indication that the human species has the ability to learn from its mistakes. If the species were an experiment they would have ended it long ago. #wakeup
I read a book that explained this phenomenon well, A book published in 1996 "goodreads.com/book/show/1812…
Hofstadter had a brilliant discussion of human's creativity on the individual level vs their flirtation with self extinction on the group level. It should be required reading for all. @TuckerCarlson #wakeup

We agree on your first paragraph, but not on the solution. I am busy handicapping sports right now, but I can explain myself a bit better later.
I do not see anything wrong with an opinion and a news section of the media. It has always been that way and I do not think it should change. On the other hand, they should not get a pass just because they call themselves journalists.
There should be an oversight in journalism, just as there should be for all entities that have the potential to sway public opinion. That is one of the things lacking right now. The end result is you get selective enforcement of the laws and selective journalism.

The U.S. has a choice to make. Either split up the country into two countries with two separate governments independent of each other, or start having equal justice under the law. Otherwise there is little doubt this country will fall. #wakeup
No country in the past has been able to survive this level of division and tribalism without massive bloodshed as the end game. When you have the media screaming for de-Ba'athification you know something is very wrong in society. The media gets their talking points from
from the political "elites". They do not make it up on the fly. This will go down as a very dark time in American history. The abuses of power unfolding with the media being the propaganda arm of the people pulling the strings is a recipe for disaster.

For some reason, people miss that Social Security and Medicare are not entitlements. They are mandatory insurance, with the Federal government as the fiduciary is responsible for administering it. Americans paid into it their entire working lives. #WakeUp
If Americans were given an option to privately fund their retirement and medical care at age 65, the alternatives would have been substantially better resulting in a much larger return on investment and much better medical care. But the promise was that the Federal Government...
in exchange for eliminating the choice, would be a fiduciary that would guarantee the money was safe for all that paid into the system. There is no world that it is ok for the federal government to treat this as an entitlement. If anyone is getting an entitlement it is the...

@SenJackyRosen You are my Senator. I voted for you. I like a lot of what you do. However, you and I both know the Jan. 6th commission was only a political decision it had nothing to do with investigating anything. Hasn't DC divided the country enough? Many Dems have family members who
@SenJackyRosen supported Trump. Many Dems would like to see a reconciliation. All this commission does is perpetuate and increase the divide in this country. There is nothing unknown about Jan 6th, except perhaps why Ashli Babbitt's killer has not been charged. The nation does not need another
@SenJackyRosen DC fake investigation so they can get their pound of flesh. Its time to heel the country. Enough is enough. Certainly you have enough humanity in you to see this. I left the Republican party because they cannot govern and the establishment is corrupt. I hoped that moderate Dems
