We are all struggling to get back to a
little more normal existence. Here on Halloween 2021 our doors are
again opened to the little, or not so little, ghosts, goblins and
witches, or perhaps Squid Game guards, who knock on our doors. In a
break from politics, pandemics and riotous school board meetings I am
going to do a Halloween music post. So on this Halloween sit back
and relax with a little ghostly, creepy music.
I know you've heard the term. It has
been bandied about by Trump and his followers for some time now. Fake news. But
have you ever actually looked at it? We just recently dodged a
bullet, created by Mitch McConnell & Co., with regard to the debt
ceiling. After initiating the crisis by not rubber stamping the
raising of the debt ceiling, as has been done multiple times in the
past by both Democrats and Republicans, McConnell voted to kick the
can down the road to December. This was his solution to his
manufactured crisis.
Basically Mitch McConnell and the
Republicans were using the debt ceiling as a political tool to use
against the Democrats because they are in the process of negotiating
a couple of rather large infrastructure bills. Raising the debt
ceiling allows our government to pay its bills. Bills that have
accrued under both Democratic and Republican administrations. It
will also allow our government to pay the benefits that so many
Social Security recipients and our military rely on. It has
absolutely nothing to do with bills that may or may not even become
law. Yet Republicans and their supporters, such as the TV
personality I have a video of, are determined to risk tanking the
American, and indeed the world, economy with their bullying tactics.
So here is a video of Sean Hannity
excoriating Mitch McConnell for “caving” and voting to
temporarily raise the debt ceiling. He professes to be a
conservative. Sorry, I don't see it. Conservatives pay their bills.
No, all I see is someone who is twisting news for propaganda
purposes.
Hannity has one thing right, Joe Biden
has been in office 9 months. Hardly long enough to create the
inflation Hannity talks about. No, the problems we are facing were
made before Biden came to office. I would take everything Hannity
says with a large grain of salt. Fake news, indeed.
