Politics – once a person commits himself to either major party, either progressive or conservative, he automatically refocuses his mental energy on hating the other.

The hatred then becomes the raison d’etre, and according to many philosophers, it is strongest and most vicious in those with the thinnest veneer of wisdom and culture.

In essence it’s simply unresolved anger allowed to simmer until nothing remains except the bitter, indigestible residue threatening to eat the bottom out of the skillet and make the floor all slippery.

Les Leftistes have been thus far completely incapable of accepting the reality of Hillary’s loss resulting from her snotty attitude toward anyone disagreeing with her.

They can’t accept that loss, or the instant evaporation of all the benefits and entitlements her reign would have showered upon them.

Hatred is all they have to distract their minds from the pain . . . like a stoner who knows intellectually that his addiction is slowly killing him. The never-Trumper is willing to suffer the inevitable hangover for those moments of adrenaline euphoria his hatred brings him.

Losers mired in the rut of hating the person who beat them fail to see that the sooner they get over it and return to mature adult status, the sooner they can feel like winners again.

In the meantime, it’s disappointing to me how few journalists are pilloried, banished, or hung these days. Talk about “non-essential” personnel.

CNN has lost so much viewership that it’s become totally dependent upon “Gotcha!” games, totally abandoning all pretense to journalism and news reporting.

With only a few exceptions, the news media prefer to overhype gossip and out-of-context misquote anyone and everyone involved in this virus situation, which itself has been overinflated by false or faulty testing procedures.

Virtually any death in any coastal megalopolis – stroke, heart attack, COPD, asthma, tuberculosis, opioid overdose, and acid indigestion – is logged under COVID-19 statistics.

The mortality rate for healthy people under Social Security eligibility age is under 1%, and there’s simply no effort being given to identify the actual cause of death for elderly people who might have died anyway if they’d never left their homes since Groundhog’s Day.

Acosta, Reade, Stelter, Blitzer . . . those types are interested only in rumor, innuendo, exaggeration, spin, and any other propaganda tactic which will discredit or diminish the DJT administration.

At its best, the modus operandi of ABCNNBCBS et al. is seditious. It is deliberate sabotage designed to undermine Trump’s credibility so thoroughly as to prevent his winning a second term.

At its worst, it’s dangerously close to treason, this concerted and relentless attack on leadership during a time of national crisis with millions out of work who were happily employed 60 days ago when China decided to save face by covering its bat-shit soup and withholding information crucial to preventing the spread and developing a remedy for the disease, which it very likely created in the first place.

Yes, of course Fauci is full of himself now that his prophecy from a couple of years ago has become eerily true and he gets to talk on national TV in a prime-power conclave every friggin day.

And yes, Trump is perhaps a bit too eager to wad up the crime-scene tape and allow people to go back to what’s left of their jobs, their lives, their futures.

But for the media to protect and promote the crazy uncle, Hidin Biden, in his basement babbling endorsed by his communist “friend” and his America-hating magic negro makes about as much sense as the NFL developing an Over-60 league for out-of-shape decrepit concussion victims.

America is growing more weary every day of the restrictions on their freedom of choice and movement and beginning to believe that it’s all been some sort of conspiracy by Soros and the “I’m-With-Her” radicals to simply get rid of Trump.

They’re tired of governors and agitprops banning or limiting medications known to reduce or eliminate the respiratory symptoms of COVID-19, medications whose side effects have been known for ¾ of a century, medications which MIGHT cause certain patients problems, just as penicillin causes problems for certain people . . . and all because Donald Trump expressed enthusiasm over them.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is more dangerous to the health of this nation than the Wuhoo flu. As I suggested a couple days ago, the cure will be worse than the disease, and the publish-or-perish rush to attack DJT because they see his daily pressers as campaign rallies is more crippling to the repair efforts and the national morale than the attack on the Twin Towers.

The press were at least kinda sorta on our side when that happened . . . . at least for a few days, ‘til they figured out a way to blame it on Dubya.

“OrangeMan Bad, Red Chinese Good” my ass! Bitter, angry, and ignorant is no way to go through an election year.

We’d be better off shutting down 24/7 news operations and going back to weather, farm, and traffic reports at breakfast, what’s on fire or being threatened by rising rivers at lunchtime, and a condensed FACTS-ONLY report on national and international activities at suppertime, with the “analysis” and punditry relegated to the TV wasteland of Sunday afternoon panel discussion shows. AND NO POLITICAL CAMPAIGNING BY ANYBODY UNTIL 90 DAYS BEFORE THE GENELEC!
