U.S.A. -(Ammoland.com)- Some ecological environments show an amplifier effect where reducing one population lets another population explode. In our intellectual environment today, we see an explosive growth of lying politicians once the media starts lying to us even a little. I’m not a prude when it comes to dishonesty. I expect people to lie, and some much more than others. All of us expect politicians lie as they try to get what they want. We certainly don’t expect the truth from these undisciplined attention addicts who will say anything to get elected. The only thing that holds politicians in check is a spotlight from the press, and today, the press is in the tank for the Democrats. We know the media lies to us because the politicians are never shamed into telling the truth.
In one breath, Senator Kamala Harris, a Democrat candidate for president, says we should turn in our guns, yet she owns a handgun for self-protection. The senator thinks her life is more important than ours, and she knows the media won’t call her on her hypocrisy.
Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, blamed oil companies for the frighteningly high price of gas, and then signed a bill to restrict exploration for oil and gas in California. Setting aside the insane environmental regulations in California, the state and local taxes on a gallon of gas in California are far larger than industry profits. The governor will blame anyone and anything to hide the fact that taxes and regulations make gasoline in California over twice the price we see in the rest of the country. The politicians know the media won’t shine a light on their political failures.
The governor of California cut a deal with the largest electric utility in the state so the utility could shut off the electricity when high winds are forecast. Then, the governor says that we should buy electric cars and solar panels which don’t work when the utility turns off the electricity. The governor needs someone to else to blame for millions of California citizens sitting in the dark.. so he blamed the “greedy utility”. The news media lets this lie slide.
Environmentalists in California don’t want anyone to cut trees. They already shut down most of the lumber mills in California. That means the bankrupt state of California doesn’t have money from timber leases to build fire breaks, repair remote access roads, and thin brush. Underbrush accumulates and leads to the intense wildfires that are ravaging California..again and again, year after year. The Democrat politicians who rule California need someone to blame as citizens wonder if their house will burn down. California Governor Newsom blames.. climate change. The media nods their approval rather than ask why California is burning and the rest of the world isn’t.
-New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that a pipeline company couldn’t build a needed natural gas pipeline to the New York City area. Then, the governor said the utility company had to connect customers to the gas pipeline the governor wouldn’t let the gas company build. The news media refuses to put two and two together.
We’ll know the media is doing its job when the politicians stop lying. Until then, we will have to put the pieces together on our own. We will have to read enough so that we can recognize truth from lies, separate hard fact from political fiction.
The great news is that with social media today, you have the means to spread the truth among your family and friends as never before. The media should be afraid of you. Thank you for all you do.
Please stay safe.

I am wondering if everyone here believes what this article says or do you go to other sources for your information? I like to check multiple sources and since the California turning off electricity and telling people to buy electric cars does not make sense I did a deep dive. Maybe all of you should also. Also, I have yet to find one quote where Harris says she is taking away all the guns. Where is it? I did a deep dive. She is into intense background checks but has not threatened to take away all the guns. Again, dig… Read more »
Colorado’s governor wants the state to be just like California, he has said just that, have you noticed the drought conditions are rapidly increasing? Dry is becoming a big problem and fire dangers have not decreased, just the opposite.
It may be mother natures reset button, but it has been the environmentalists and politicians who have been pushing it.
Just a note – California is not bankrupt monetarily (just morally), they have billions to spend.
HERE IS THE PROBLEM. Of course the media is lying to us–it all really started in earnest with a Cronkite nightly news report by CBS about 1965 when they showed the same C-130 aircraft burning on a runway in Nam every night and presented it as a different plane being shot up–problem was the tail number gave it away as the same plane. So now the media lying is just worse. BUT the real bad deal is the information the do NOT tell and intentionally leave out of their lies like the better economy for just one thing.
Ironically, I bought a generator in preparation for the Y2K scare. Never had to use it until PG&E shut the power off in Vacaville, California because of high winds in October 2019. All of our subdivision power is underground. Then the mob rush to buy generators as if the apocalypse was unfolding right before our eyes. Improper portable gasoline storage is probably worst for fire potential than any high winds but nevermind. Short sighted politicians and bureaucrats are responsible for the lack of electrical infrastructure so they blame everyone and everything except themselves. Now fires run rampant and smoke fills… Read more »
