Statistics...

People misuse statistics all the time. In today's world we see something on the news, or something that "goes viral" and it is as if it becomes part of our own daily lives. The other day I got to take a long car ride with a man just released from prison. He said he was afraid he would not recognize America anymore. He was concerned about using a public restroom because of what his reaction might be to all the transgenders (by the way, Apple changed that to transponders - shame on you Apple, get with the program).

In our world of sound bites, tweets and viral videos, does anybody think past their first reaction anymore?

If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is there to put it on YouTube, did it happen?

I don't think that the truth matters to BLM or to the mainstream media.

I'm with LL. The truth hasn't mattered to the socialist idiots in power for a long, long time. All these sources (the Dems, BLM, the media) have to constantly lie in order to wrest control of the government from the people.

The tree still falls, and we need to keep looking for the truth. We need to be wise enough to weigh the information or dis information we are given.
