Many people I know think everything in America today is just hunky-dory; they just shake their heads if I bring up any of the critical issues involved in this election (see e.g., The Flight 93 Election blog here). Many people I know who plan to vote for Hillary don’t see anything wrong with anything she does, even when her actions clearly violate the law. Hard to know where to go sometimes.
It’s especially discouraging to have to try to counter the corrupt mainstream media narratives, day in day out, especially on television. Media bias, media malpractice, propaganda – whatever you call it, the corrupt media is carrying water for the corrupt political class.

Treehouse is one of my daily stops online. His essay today on “Legislation Without Representation” is a sobering sanity check. Here’s a short extract:
There are many who use a frame
of reference about ‘saving a constitutional republic‘; while I do not mean to
be dismissive of this benevolent sensibility — in case you have not been paying
attention, we’ve long since passed the threshold of that possibility.
The architecture of our own
U.S. government is now operating independent of the electorate (Obamacare,
Omnibus, etc.). Congress is consistently passing legislation without
appropriate representation (PR [Puerto Rico] Bailout, Omnibus, Corker/Cardin [link added] amendment, Fast-Track Trade Authorization, etc.), and the various operational
constructs, divisions, and agencies within the DC UniParty are now fully
weaponized against us (IRS targeting, FBI Comey/email non-finding, etc.).
Whether we like to admit it or
not, just like the futuristic Skynet, our government has become self-aware,
risk adverse and is intent on sustaining its UniParty agenda against any
threat, risk or voice that might rise in opposition.
