I believe what I say and believe I am right. Thus, the title of my column, Undeniably Right. Take it as you will, that I'm a conservative or I have a huge ego and believe I am always correct. Sometimes those things overlap, sometimes not.

If you had eastern equine encephalitis as the newest pandemic on your bingo card, you are a winner. Known as EEE, the disease has been around for a long time and was used to scare us about 35 or 40 years ago. The disease is rare but can be deadly. It is transmitted by mosquitoes. Some people can die, others will suffer ongoing neurological problems. On average 10 people a year contract the disease. It has never reached a level of infection among the general population that should scare anybody. But in today's world, it's the next scary thing for politicians to latch onto and exert their authority.
The propaganda media helped Joe Biden get elected in 2020. As in most election cycles, they handled Joe with kid gloves. They accepted without criticism the Democrat party's strategy of keeping Joe in the basement and controlling access to him. They refused to point out his obvious lies, whoppers that he's told dozens if not hundreds of times. Lies that forced him out of the race decades ago. It was a brilliant strategy. What they are doing now makes the 2020 campaign look amateurish.
Kamala was installed as the nominee without receiving a single vote. Doesn't that threaten democracy? It's obvious to anyone that this is very undemocratic and very Marxist. Nary a peep from the corporate media. You see there are exceptions to every rule if the ultimate goal is 'good' for them.
Everyone is aware that this election will have significant and profound consequences for the future of this nation. Installation of Kamala Harris as the leader of this country will take us in a direction that will fundamentally change our nation from a Republic with a free market economy to a communist dictatorship. Donald Trump on the other hand would more likely lead us back towards the nation that we used to be. But when I asked the question, are we headed for a total collapse? I'm not necessarily talking about the results of the election.
What could they be planning?
Most of the corporate media is fawning over Kamala's acceptance speech. Most people, however, were disappointed. It was long on promoting the joyful feelings theme that replaced the Republicans are weird marketing campaign. It was noticeably short on policy. Some media types, such as Chris Cuomo, noted that this could be problematic for voters that are on the fence. He's right the hardcore Donald Trump haters don't care about policy. They ignore the fact that they never liked her to begin with, especially when she was running for her party's nomination against Joe Biden. Now all of a sudden to them, Kamala has transitioned from a ditzy Marxist to a demure serious candidate. Be careful, even though most of us see what she is the Democrat party machine will do everything it can to make sure she wins
