Imagine if you used your Gmail account to send an email to your grandma describing the damage to your neighborhood caused by “mostly-peaceful protesters”. Imagine further that Google added a disclaimer to your email that said your message may contain inaccurate or misleading information. Now, let’s say you send a
My wife gets notification pushes from CNN on her phone. On Sunday, she saw this headline, “Trump Supporters Clash with Counterprotesters”. The New York Post echoed the same headline. Interesting. If you’re not following the story, a bunch of protesters crashed the Million Mega March on Saturday. As the rally
As I walked the streets this morning, death was everywhere. I saw bodies lining the sidewalk, too many to count and no one to carry them away. Everywhere I looked I was met with the glassy stare of the almost-dead desperately seeking help while gasping for their last breath. We

The Democrats and media have spent nearly five years spreading misinformation about President Trump. The message repeated over and over is that he colluded with the Russians to steal the 2016 election. Oh yeah, he’s apparently a racist too. Those would be horrible things if they were true. But they’re
In London, back in the 1800’s, there was an occupation known as a “knocker-upper”. The job of the knocker-upper was to go from house to house in the early morning and wake up their clients. This was back when alarm clocks were really expensive and not reliable enough to count
A large portion of the news media has claimed that Joe Biden has won the election. They now refer to him as the “president-elect”. But that isn’t true. There is no president-elect. Not yet anyway. The media is leaving out a very important word when describing Joe Biden. That word
Conventional wisdom says that if you see one cockroach, you probably have many more. If you stomp on a single roach, instead of believing you’ve killed all your roaches, you should assume that you have a larger roach problem and take measures to get rid of the infestation. The same
