    I'm so sick of America's state of affairs I can't stand it

    We elect a president who in 6 months has already raised the price of a tank of gas by $20.

    We have the highest inflation since the Carter era

    The only issue in this country is racism. The entire focus is on 13% of the populace

    Our economy is heading into deep $#@!

    Freedom of speech is being taken away.

    It's very disturbing and it's starting to keep me up at night

    What can be done ?

    I suggest you turn off the TV and log off the internet.

    Life will be just fine once you do that.

    The crap you see on TV and read on the internet is overblown and sensationalized.

    ...and remember these wise words of wisdom...

    What happens when you slap Dwayne Johnson on his ass ?

    You hit Rock bottom.

    and...

    630 is the best time on the clock...hands down.
    When it is not allowed to be questioned, it is not science, it is PROPAGANDA

    Cotton, my friend. You are swimming in a small pond full of baited hooks.

    The baited hooks coming from the right side of the pond want you to think the world is going to end soon because some guy they do not like is warming the White House throne for four years.

    The baited hooks coming from the left side of the pond do not want you to see any real problems, and if you do then you are a racist.

    Find you a nice section of the pond you can be happy in...and don't bite any of their baited hooks.

    None of them will ever say " Things are just fine "....when they are. They both have an agenda to make you feel terrible about the future.

    The best future is turning your back on them and their pre-programmed hysteria baiting.

    The problem is multifold
    #1 gas is up over $1 a gallon since Biden

    #2. Inflation is the highest since Carter

    #3 the country is focused mostly on racism.

    #4. Our economy is headed for deep $#@!

    #5 freedom of speech is being threatened

    Those are facts, not media blown hysteria.

    As for me? I have found my place in the sun. I've carved out a very good year (my best ever) in the face of Covid.

    Biden can pull his buttflaps over his ears and kiss his own ass

    But if you turn off the TV and log off the internet, you will not see any of that stuff.

    #1...gas ALWAYS goes up and down. Nothing to do with who is Prez.

    #2...inflation...Once a paycheck, buy a silver coin or two. You will sleep easier. Silver will ALWAYS be money...no matter what that government script does. Been that way for thousands of years.

    #3...The country IS NOT focused on racism. Just what they see on TV is. Turn it off and go fishin'. You will see people of all races going about their day with no trouble at all. They are trying to brainwash you into thinking it is. Don't let them. Shut off their propaganda machines.

    #4...People have been saying our economy is headed for deep $#@! since I was first a survivalist in the mid 70's. Hasn't happened yet. Again...turn off the TV and log off the computer and shut those people up and get them out of your head. They are bombarding you with their propaganda. You have the choice to not listen to them.

    #5...You can still say anything you like. Grab a soap box and head downtown and give it a try. There never was free speech on social media. They are a dictatorship. Only approved talk is allowed. And remember, they are all based in San Francisco. Just like almost all news is based in New York City. Consider the source of the bull$#@!.

    Don't let these types drag you down. That is their intent. Right or left. Their main purpose is to make you angry and / or depressed with each episode or video they post.

    Hannity, Tucker, & Laura are just like Maddow, Mathews, and Morning Joe.

    All they do is point and say..." Hey, get mad and angry about this $#@! "...day in and day out.

    ...and if you get mad and angry all the time without a way to vent, then you will get depressed, more angry, then one day you will wake up and realize you have been (wait for it...).... POLITICIZED !!!

    Just look around at some of the members here Right or Left and see how mess up it has made them.
    They are very miserable people and no one you want to hang with.
