Michael I think there has been a huge dumbing down of America over the last 50 years. The average schmuck pays little attention to it save when it hits their wallet. We no longer elect statesmen. Celebrities are what the public seems to want. God help us all.

Also there is no mandatory civics lessens at the high school level. Civics should be presented in an engaging way that attracts viewership. Maybe too much freedom the freedom to be clueless. Perhaps a news show could devote 15 mins a day to government and law, how it work etc. How the hell did one of my brothers ( all brought up in Mass and all college degrees) moved South and mutated into a MAGA. It’s horrific.

That’s sad about your brother. I grew up in Massachusetts too, but ended up in CT.

Went to UConn yeah that brother has alienated himself from the rest of us. So sad haven’t talked in years. Last time he tried loudly lecture us on how wonderful Trump is, it was like a dog with rabies. Too much Jesus too a joke as Trump and Jesus are as far apart as can be imagined. Keep the faith. I pray for Lee Harvey Oswald’s grandson lol. Amazing no schizoid has taken a shot at this creature lol

Yes, Jesus and Trump have nothing in common. Jesus is for us. Trump is making a mess out of our country. He’s a rapist and convicted felon.

Was going to comment on the BP as well, but I was watching another LIVE Substack ssession when Michael's started earlier today, so I went into Micheal's live video later. As soon as Trump was reelected last year, my BP started spiking. I figured it had to be about Trump, so I learned to meditate and force thoughts to focus on anything in nature I could see outside, while also briefly avoiding political thoughts. In a few minutes I was relaxed and BP was normal. I decided how dare I allow Trump to destroy my health too! I had one word on the sign i carried at the last protest: RESIST!

Does anyone believe that Maxwell did anything today to get the truth out there? DJT would have released the Epstein files if it would hurt any of his enemies( real or imagined) That leaves the only reason he hasn’t is that it will hurt him or his sycophants

Sounds great Michael! I have a question. Is Trump illiterate? Or could he have dyslexia?
