News

News and the treatment of news seems to be a major problem.We don't even know what is real news anymore.We're in a pattern of breaking news.Everything is breaking news.Every incident is breaking news.

Supposed terrorists don't even have to be terrorizing to be treated as terrorists​.An individual can run a car into a pedestrian and  be investigated as a terrorist.Incidents with no organization are treated as organized terrorism.Everyone is a radicalized terrorist.It's crazy.We have no treatment plan,no policy.We have to stop this disorganized, haphazard news response to every questionable instance of violence.Any disoriented crazy can control the news.

We must start ignoring or at least tempering our response to these isolated incidents.Too many people are involved.Everone is given credibility.We have no standards of credibility.We used to use logic.Before Trump,we had common sense, practicality, sensibility,rationality, pragmatism.We need to revise our thinking, examine our policies,change direction.

We must stop investigating every incident as terrorism.Sometimes deaths aren't tied to terrorism; they are just coincidental deaths.News outlets have to quit presuming that every death is by design.It's just not true.Terrorists are taking advantage.The news people have to disallow that advantage.Ignore them.Don't magnify,exaggarate incidents.Just report the news.

Ramblings

Healthcare:without at least a public option,a bill will not be passed and probably not voted on until after the 2018 election.Republicans can not gamble on losing congressional majorities.An exception could be repeal only.There is some talk of that,but I don't put much credence in it.

Trump has been able to delay and interfere in the Russian collusion investigation with lies and distractions.Now he's back to blaming Obama for pretty much everything,more distractions.

Sanders is a big disappointment as a press secretary.At least Spicer was somewhat entertaining.Sanders does fit in better.She's  aTrump duplicate,has all of his disgusting qualities and no entertainment.

Trump continues to use tweets for distraction,both policy and and media attacts.They are effective because they can't be ignored.They do expose his lack of knowledge and crassness though.
