A Veteran’s Thoughts

“Lie to me once, shame on you. Lie to me twice shame on me.” I learned this very early in life. As a police officer I learned very quickly how to judge a person who was lying to me in order to get out of trouble. Yes, people lie to us, and they always will, but what I hate the most is when our government lies to us.
Two groups in America who continue to lie to us are the “fake media” and the Biden administration. I wonder how long it will be until those citizens who support the Left’s view of America will wake up and acknowledge that they are being lied to every day? There have been so many lies it’s hard to know where to begin, however I’ll start with what I believe was the biggest lie of the century to date which is the “Russian Collusion of Donlad Trump.”
Before President Trump was elected as our 45th President, Hilary Clinton and the Left concocted the story that Donald Trump was an agent of Vladimir Putin. There was no proof, there were no facts offered, only the lies told by the media and pundits on the Left. This lie was reported as a fact during Trump’s first three years of his presidency. It is still being offered by many on the Left even after the Mueller Report could find no evidence after spending millions of dollars looking for that elusive proof. Let’s not forget Adam Schiff repeatedly saying that he had seen the proof and would disclose it at the right time. We’re still waiting.
The next big lie that did great harm to the fabric of America was describing Michael Brown as a “gentle giant.” Yes, he was a giant of a man, but there was nothing gentle about him. The most damaging lie was that a police officer shot him after he raised his hands and shouted, “don’t shoot.” None of it was true. These falsehoods resulted in riots, lootings, setting fires to businesses, and the destruction of many police vehicles. Another lie by the “fake media” is that the riots were mostly peaceful.
The Ferguson lies were the beginning of the “defund the police” movement. We see how that movement has harmed and damaged the citizens living in America by the rampant crime and lawlessness in most major cities. Kamala Harris tweeted at the time that “Michael Brown’s murder forever changed Ferguson and America.” This may be the first time that I can remember her being right about anything.
Another lie that the Left continues to repeat is the “Charlottesville Lie.” Trump was not talking about neo-Nazis being good people. The true quote by Trump is, “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists. They should be condemned totally.” This begs the question: Do those on the Left not know the truth or are they perpetuating this lie to confuse the public and damage Trumps re-election bid?
The fourth big lie from the Left is the “Laptop from Hell.” The media and the Left continue to tell us that Hunter Biden’s laptop was not his but was Russian disinformation.” Let’s not forget that 51 intelligence officers swore to the lie. It wasn’t true. It was a lie to hide the truth from the public so that Biden could be elected President. This lie has now been exposed to the light of day. Many of us are looking to the day when Hunter and Joe Biden’s “chickens will come home to roost.”
Lies that are still being told are: Brett Kavanaugh was a sexual abuser and a gang rapist even though there was no corroborating evidence. A Catholic kid mocked a Native American war veteran. The man was not mocked nor is he, as he claimed, a war veteran. The Texas border guards whipped illegal aliens who were sneaking over the border. Again, there was no evidence that it happened, however it fit the Left’s agenda.
There are far too many lies to list here. These lies and more are being told to damage Trump in his bid to become the 47th President of the United States. It’s these kinds of lies being told by the government that are destroying democracy.
This was posted on Facebook by Richard Green, “To answer all of those of you who would say ‘I can’t believe you would vote for Trump.’ Well folks listen up! I’m not just voting for him. I’m voting for the Second Amendment. I’m voting for the next Supreme Court justice. I’m voting for the electoral college, and the Republic we live in. I’m voting for the police, and law and order. I’m voting for the military, and the veterans who fought for and died for this country. I’m voting for the flag . . . I’m voting for the right to speak my opinion and not be censored. I’m voting for secure borders. I’m voting for the right to praise my God without fear. I’m voting for every unborn soul the Democrats want to murder. I’m voting for freedom and the American Dream. I’m voting for good and against evil. I’m not just voting for one person; I’m voting for the future of my country!
There will aways be liars, rapists, robbers, and murderers. We cannot control that. However, we can drain the swamp in Washington. That is why I’ll be voting for Donald J. Trump; he is the one who can fix all that is wrong with the government. He did it once and I have faith that he can do it again.
