“Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy.” As we contend with this 24/7 news cycle, it is now very important to distinguish between innuendo and facts.
It seems to me that maybe 90 percent of Lake County Sheriff deputies are a bunch of buffoons.
I read today that the EPA is throwing another $27 million into the cleanup of East Chicago. I like to see that because it is the right thing to do. The area deserves to be made pure — just as God created it. What I don’t like seeing is certain unscrupulous individuals and their unscrupulous lawyers trying to make some easy money off of the whole unfortunate affair. I personally hope they get what they deserve — nothing.
In Helsinki, Trump created quite a media storm with his secret talks and unplanned speech. He has continued to bounce like a ping-pong ball with his excuses because he doesn’t have a truthful one. Now he has invited Putin to come for a visit to just add fuel to his wildfire that has been blazing out of control. He is burning the place down on his way out, no doubt.
Fox News is a big reason for the social and political divide. All of their viewers go out into the world unable to discuss the topics the rest of the country is discussing. They don’t know anything other than the talking points. It’s like the kids that cheat in school — they only read the Cliffs Notes and think they are brilliant.
Trump fans are hard to understand. “I voted for Trump because he’s not a career politician. And I still stand behind that decision.

DO you people even know what is going on?
Ted Nugent had a concert in Roanoke, Virginia on Tuesday. Five minutes before entering, fans were told that they would not be allowed to bring their firearms into the show.

Does anyone in the nation feel secure knowing that our National Security Advisor is not being advised or asked about information sensitive to our nation’s security?
I still find it hard to believe that a KGB officer turned Russian President and an American President needed an English translator. More like plausible deniability.
There is no doubt that the United States President has been compromised. The blame falls to Trump, Fox News, and the other extreme right wing media and the voters that are too lazy to be informed.
GOP Rep. Will Hurd, also a former CIA agent said “ Over the course of my career as an undercover officer in the CIA, I saw Russian intelligence manipulate many people. I never thought I would see the day when an American president would be one of them.”
So many Americans have forgotten that Russia is not our friend, nor our ally. They have meddled in elections around the world and supported brutal dictators and invaded sovereign nations all to the detriment of the United States.
Eighteen months in the White House and every day, “Dimocrats” in Quickly parrot the liberal talking points, screaming for impeachment with no evidence of an impeachable offense. You can’t fix stupid.
The National Prayer Breakfast held in Washington D.C. every year is thought to be some sort of religious get together. According to court affidavits, it is a way for Russian spies and other foreign policy makers to “make deals” with the most influential and secretive Christian lawmakers without any rules or regulations.
