A Look At Reality. Is It Facts Or Fiction? - Things you should know.


INTRODUCTION:


Greetings to all and HAPPY HALLOWEEN. As much as it feels like yesterday when I used to take my children out trick or treating, sadly, it was many years ago. I hope everyone enjoyed their evening. On to tonight's topic.


Last weeks post was a precursor to tonight's post. I will save my opinion for my closing statement. However, I have an opinion to share in tonight's post.


When we discuss facts, not fiction, certain variables must be removed from the equation, depending on the topic. For tonight's discussion, we MUST remove your political choices from the equation to look at the facts, and dismiss the fiction. As with all topics, there are always more than one view. Simply put, people have different perceptions of things and their own opinion. The important thing to remember is this. Like is or not. This is not only reality, but the facts. Facts are the truth.


NO ONE'S PERSONAL OPINION MAKES THEM RIGHT AND EVERYONE ELSE WRONG!


With that said, I strongly believe that regardless of your views or affiliations, political or otherwise, we can all agree we are living through what is at best, challenging times. Not just in your local states or communities, but globally. Here is another fact we must all swallow.


MOST PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE THE FACTS BECAUSE THE FACTS REPRESENT THE TRUTH, WHICH DOES NOT ALWAYS MATCH THEIR PERSONAL OPINION.


At this point, if you agree with me so far and are open-minded, you will read on. Those who are closed minded will move on.


SOME THINGS WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES:


Here are the major issues affecting most of us. For some folks, they are affected by them all. These are not listed in order of importance.

  • Inflation

  • Increased crime rates

  • Unsecured border

  • School issues regarding children and what they are taught and when

  • Food costs

  • Energy costs and reserves, fuel prices

  • The debate on Pro-Life or Pro-Choice

  • The increasing threat of global conflict

  • Unecessary government spending

  • Imigrant re-locations

  • Stock market (affects 401k's)

  • Drug overdoses

  • Defunding civil services

  • Sports

  • Gender Idenity

There are more, but these are the most common issues at stake right now with the mid term elections upon us.


The snart media networks ask this question. The ignorant ones do not. I will ask you to think about this one question.


DO YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER OFF TODAY THEN YOU WERE TWO YEARS AGO?


Why is that such an important questions? LAdies and gentlemen, the answer to that question is simple. That is where the POLITICS come in. Meaning, whether you agree with the left, (Democrats), or the right, (Republiicans). Traditionally, the Democratic party has always been considered the more liberal party, and Republicans, the more conservative party. However, these parties have managed to expand their platforms to the extreme left, and extreme right. This causes turmoil within each political party when it comes to how the party is run. The quickest way to breakdown anything is to have internal conflict and lack of unity. Actually, that concept applies to everything in life. Politics are just more in the forefront. The media makes sure they stick it it right in your face.


The days of impartial and unbiased news media networks seems to be gone. The very few that are fair and equal take a pounding from the others. Somewhere along the trail, the concept of fair and equal reporting has been overcast my personal agendas, money, and greed.
