Media tries to divert attention from real issues

I respectfully point out that American voters are being played for fools by the Democrat Party and enabling media such as the AJC. Donald Trump can be crude and vulgar, but we should not be diverted from our need of electing a president who will guide our nation though the real challenges facing our nation. The Democrat Party and the major media will not substantially discuss the real problems facing our nation and instead acts like the trashy National Enquirer rag.

Women especially should put their “outrages” on the rear burner and focus on the real issues that will affect the future of their families, themselves and of their children. It is sad that most of the media have become an arm of the Democrat Party. I ask voters to refuse to be diverted from real issues.

Gingrich’s sidestepping reminiscent of cults

Newt Gingrich’s tacky demand that Megyn Kelly call Bill Clinton a sexual predator is the model of the GOP’s nurtured recruiting of the new wing of Trumpist. Instead of discussing the issue at hand, Newt sidedstepped it by hypocritically denouncing Clinton. In 1998, he led the impeachment of Clinton in the House for the same and worse conduct that Trump has practiced for decades and promoting him to be the face of our great nation.

Newt says the impeachment was for perjury, however, all his rhetoric was condemnation of Clinton’s affair. His recent cultish sidestepping and redirection is reminiscent of cult leaders, who excuse their sexual and criminal behavior, with righteous indignation and fury, except Newt adds a smirk. Grand Old Party or Grand Old Pretentiousness?
