So we're coming up on 1 am Monday

there are three 24 hour news channels, but MSNBC and CNN are doing jail and crime stories shot in the past. Do you know who is still current and giving coverage to advance their political goals? Do you wonder why we lose on messaging?

I truly believe that even outside of prime time the news (also known as "truth&quot should be reported. Why is only the democratic weekend based on reruns and reality shows while Fox brings in multi nationalists fascists?

including nut jobs to normalize "special operators" like they are normal US vets and they do not come close. It's fun and games to target enemies with these people-but they don't even come close to reflecting normal US troops

I can't read all of the morning news paper on line, so I come here so I won't miss any new big stories. Sunday and Monday mornings are the best times to log in.

Jail and crime stories ain't the solution either. Welcome to the asylum.
