Editor, Times-Union:
If truth depended on what you wanted to believe I could jump off the Empire State Building and float to the pavement if I believed I was as light as a feather. I'm not going to test it out. But the media and politicians think they should determine what is true and those that don't agree with them are liars.
Supposedly Trump is a convicted felon. According to New York law, at worse he committed a misdemeanor. If what he did was a crime, why wasn't he charged with a crime in 2016 before he was elected president since I knew about the hush payments to Stormy Daniels and still voted for him? If he is a felon, then abortion doctors must be charged with murder since they exterminate innocent lives in the womb. People who believe abortion on demand is a right like Presidential candidate Harris believes, that would mean they support murder. They'll have to answer to God for that.
Harris says she believes in democracy. That would mean if insane people were in the majority, we would be ruled by the insane. Or does she support the democracy of the Democratic Republic of Korea (North Korea)? Maybe she supports both examples of democracy and wants insane people to rule an authoritarian state.
The media believed the lie that Trump was working for Putin and the Russians. If that were the case, why did he help keep oil prices low so Russia couldn't afford to invade Ukraine. Biden helped Russia to be able to invade Ukraine by having oil prices soar. It looks like Biden is a better candidate for being a Russian agent. The media also spread the lie that Biden wasn't mentally hindered which we know is a lie and it doesn't want to admit Biden committed crimes by being involved in Hunter's business deals even though there is documented evidence of shell companies and the fact that Joe is the "Big Guy." Maybe if Trump is elected in November, Congress will be able to impeach Biden since he'll be leaving in January. If the Senate becomes Republican-controlled, maybe it will condemn him too as it should have done years ago.
The Bible says you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Tell that to many of the January 6 political prisoners that are still behind bars while people that were burning down portions of cities and shooting people are roaming free. The media says Trump while President said at least 30,000 lies but hasn't come up with the list while Biden has lied for decades and it's no big deal to the media.
Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men" told Tom Cruise, "You can't handle the truth."
With Washington thinking the same thing, it's why I call it the baloney factory because it's the biggest producer of baloney in the world.
