The 2020 Referendum on the Murderers of Truth-Ricochet-By Brian Watt
"I think it became clear to me in my formative years, that beyond good writing and bad writing, there was a style of writing that was meant to obscure.
,,,Language is the one tool that human beings have to help make sense of the world...
...It’s what we use to understand the world around us in all of its mystery, strangeness, its beauty, love, or its horror and rampant monstrous evil.
There are those, of course, who don’t use language to enlighten. 
...some use language to obscure and to obliterate in an effort to institute conformity to a specific ideology or worldview. 
...This can be done by dressing up a word with lipstick, rouge, eye-shadow and costume jewelry (not to ‘drag’ out the metaphor) by appending a word like ‘socialism’ with the word ‘democratic’ to make it somehow sound more alluring, sexy, and attractive even though any study of actual socialist regimes throughout 20th-century history will indicate immediately that they were anything but democratic. 
One could more aptly define ‘democratic socialism’ as property theft, slavery, and societal suicide-by-consensus.
Other words have been ascribed definitions opposite to their original meaning. 
Words still used by virtually everyone on both sides of the political spectrum like “liberal” or “progressive” when it’s clear there is nothing liberal or progressive in the liberalism and progressivism as espoused by those on the Left and, in fact, what lies behind these terms are Marxism, communism, socialism, totalitarianism, subjugation, and slavery. 
Thus, abortion, the deliberate termination of growing and viable human life is called a “reproductive” right when reproduction is the direct opposite aim of abortion. 
When was the last time you heard a news anchor challenge a pro-abortion advocate on the use of the term “reproductive” as it is used in “reproductive right,” in any interview?..."

In case your choice of news media sorta missed this-----US economy marks longest expansion in American history

US economy marks longest expansion in American history
"The US economy has grown for 121 consecutive months following the Great Recession, marking the longest economic expansion in American history.
The economy has been on a growth spurt since June 2009 and now surpasses the previous record expansion set between March 1991 and March 2001 before the dot-com bubble burst.

• ...In another positive sign, wage increases over the last three years have been healthiest among the lowest-paid workers — showing a narrowing of the wage gap between high and low earners.
• ...The wealth gap also shrank, as the proportion of income going to the poorest one-fifth of Americans rose from 6.4 percent in 2007 to 7.3 percent in 2015, the last year for which data is available..."

The weaponization of words-----Alt-Right, Antifa, Cops, and Milkshakes Clash in Downtown Portland - Blogtown - Portland Mercury

Alt-Right, Antifa, Cops, and Milkshakes Clash in Downtown Portland - Blogtown - Portland Mercury
This propaganda, from the "News Editor" of Portland's major newspaper
"It's officially summer in the Pacific Northwest, which means it's time for our first alt-right vs. left-wing clash in downtown Portland.
This afternoon, an estimated 300 members of left-leaning groups (including Portland's Democratic Socialists of America chapter, Rose City Antifa, and Popular Mobilization) met in Lownsdale Square to protest an expected visit from members of Vancouver, Washington's alt-right contingent, Patriot Prayer. 
Protest organizers danced to music and handed out homemade milkshakes to attendees. 
(Only in an update, at the end of article do they "clarify" how they weaponized the milkshakes. Throwing them at police and other opponents.) 
"...milkshakes thrown by protesters included a substance "similar to a quick drying cement." Despite perpetuating this allegation on social media, PPB has provider no evidence to substantiate this claim. (Yet!)
About thirty people showed up for the scheduled Patriot Prayer rally in Pioneer Courthouse Square at 1 pm—some identifying as members of the Proud Boys, a white nationalist organization labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center..."

Trump: US-China Trade Talks Are ‘Back On Track’ After G20 Meeting | The Daily Caller:

The U.S. and China fulfilled expectations that the countries would agree to resume trade talks after President Donald Trump met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, on Saturday.
Trump said the U.S. would not levy an additional $300 billion in tariffs on Chinese products, at least while talks are ongoing. He also said he would let American companies continue to work with Chinese telecom giant Huawei, which BBC characterized as a “move seen as a significant concession.”

SMITH: Trouble in Paradise. The Left’s Agenda Unleashed In Hawaii Serves As A Warning | Daily Wire
"...And yet upon closer examination, Hawai’i is a good forecast of where other, more politically influential, states are headed.

While California is generally looked to as the cultural canary in the coalmine for the rest of the U.S.,...
But Hawai’i has no such contrary undercurrent. 
...Long before Obamacare was mandated, Hawai’i functioned under the same method of providing healthcare to all within its borders. 
And before Virginia allowed for abortions up to the point of birth, Hawai’i was the first state to legalize abortion (before the Roe v. Wade decision). 
...While our laws may be reason enough to reconsider moving to our state, our open corruption should seal the deal.

• This year the FBI has labeled the number of investigations into Hawai’i as “unprecedented.” 
• In just the most populous county in Honolulu alone, there are investigations into the Honolulu Police Department and the Chief Prosecutor individually as well as his whole department. 
• In addition, they are currently fighting off a variety of potential FTA investigations into the mysteriously disappearing funding for a boondoggle of a rail system that has increased into the $9.2 billion range (though likely much higher) for a track that only had a potential projection of 20 miles in length.
• Hawai’i’s Department of Education...Despite a spate of local probes into HIDOE’s reported corruption and crumbling infrastructure (a majority of classrooms do not even have air conditioning in this tropical climate), the department has not been audited in the last 50 years.
• Homelessness is in the public conversation nationally, but Hawai’i has been living with rising homeless persons, very often the mentally ill or drug-addicted, in public parks and business district streets for many years. 

...With only 4 electoral votes, Hawai’i may be the last state you worry about, but we are usually among the first states to push the boundaries of civil liberties for the more influential states to follow."

Elitist Vehicles: You Subsidize Them, But You Can’t Afford Them | The American Spectator

Elitist Vehicles: You Subsidize Them, But You Can’t Afford Them | The American Spectator:
"And that’s not the worst of it.
...The typical new EV sells for south of $50,000.
Plus another couple thousand for a “fast” charger, so you can wait 30-45 minutes to get going again rather than all day.
The average person can’t afford this — in money or time.
But he is forced to subsidize this, which is an interesting thing given the hardest pushers of EVs are affluent liberals— who used to be people who feigned concern about the economic troubles of the average person.
Now they pick his pockets to fatten theirs.
...Also the nascent network of Elitist Vehicle “fast” charging hubs, which are being financed not by private businesses who see an opportunity to make money from it but by government (and crony capitalists) who see another opportunity — to take money.
...Economically, via the pincer movement of Elitist Vehicles that average people who can’t afford them are forced to subsidize, thereby reducing the economic power of the average person to afford any vehicle at all.
Politically, by illegalizing vehicles (via the elliptical route of regulations) that aren’t EVs — thereby forcing average people out of vehicles, period..."

Spreading disease, drug addiction, and social disorder in its wake.

San Francisco Board of Education votes to paint over school’s George Washington mural - The Washington Post
"The San Francisco Board of Education voted Tuesday to paint over a mural depicting scenes in the life of George Washington at a high school bearing his name after an advisory board said the artwork doesn’t represent the school’s values.
...Painted in 1936 by Victor Arnautoff, a native of Russia and protege of muralist Diego Rivera, the mural at the 2,000-student public school was commissioned by the Federal Art Project — a New Deal program to fund visual arts.
“...We believe students shouldn’t be exposed to violent imagery — that it’s degrading.”
