      I was watching, with interest, comments made by the former President about Liz Cheney. At first glance, it appears that he was suggesting she go before a firing squad.  Specifically, he said: " Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face.” But, in the interest of balance, I tuned in to see how his friends at Fox News could possibly defend his comments, when he also said: " You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building, saying, ‘Oh, gee, well, let’s send, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.’" So here's the problem . . . Technically, in context, you might  agree with his Fox friends and think he was simply saying that Cheney should be sent into battle to see how she would like it. Maybe he was.  Maybe he wasn't.

      Like you I suppose, we have been inundated with election ads. I often ask myself, "Is that true? Did they really do that? What a horrible person they must be!" After I've done my due diligence and a bit of research, I typically find that the information in the ad is mostly false; sometimes there is a thread of truth loosely running through it, but certainly nothing like the ad proposes. Every ad does one of two things: It proposes that the candidate being highlighted can change everything for the better, immediately, if elected, giving us a utopian society.  Uh, that's not going to happen.
