This is not an attempt to be unkind or controversial, but I am so tired of unbalanced, partisan, downright deceit of the leftist media. I try not to be upset about it, knowing that God knows all, and it is up to Him to right all wrongs. Nevertheless, I can speak the truth about it and not sin. It frustrates me that they are purposely dividing the American people in profound ways by telling lies that skew perception. I have trusted friends who have experienced it FIRSTHAND on many occasions. They are people of character. I, myself, have experienced it firsthand on more than one occasion.
You can choose to turn your head if you want to. You can choose to deny my testimony and believe everything that comes out of the mouth of your favorite CNN host or Washington Times reporter...but I am here to testify the media lies. If I shared all of the many examples, there wouldn't be enough ink to print it. Today, I will share concrete examples from one event.
Below is a picture taken by the Orlando Sentinel outside of CPAC 2021. The caption reads, "Trump supporters argue with law enforcement outside of the Hyatt Regency at CPAC on Sunday." There was no argument going on in that conversation. How do I know? I was there! I know where these ladies were standing. I know people were excited with expectation to catch a glimpse of President Trump. I know law enforcement was kind, as they stood with their bicycles lined on the streets to make sure things were secure. Since the motorcade was quite late, they chatted with the people, explaining, over and over again that they "wished they could tell them which was he was coming in" but they didn't tell them until the last minute. (And I am sure they can't share it, anyway).
Meanwhile, the Hyatt side was crowded for blocks and blocks with people who were unable to get a ticket to CPAC, but who still wanting to show their support for the former president. The newspaper called it a "protest". The use of this term was nothing short of ludicrous; it couldn't have been more inaccurate in describing either the mood or the purpose of the occasion. People were just enjoying themselves. There was expectation, comraderie, and a sense of hope in the air. Decorated cars and trucks blaring "God Bless the USA" drove by, honking repeatedly fellow supporters lining the streets. There were grins and waves and lots of thumbs-up. It made me proud to be an American and was nothing like the debacle of January 6th. Of course, the debacle of Jan. 6th was shown in the worst light possible. While some people definitely got out of hand (and paid more than their fair share of consequences), the majority are NOT those people, and even a few who were there and close enough to witness the breech paint a very different picture than the one the news media wants to brandish into your brain. I wasn't there, but I believe them.
Why? Because I have seen Big Tech lie right before my eyes. I have seen them remove posts for no reason other than it said something positive about President Trump. I saw friends' posts flagged or saw them get FB jailed for exercising their first ammendment rights. I have been banned, myself...unable to use groups for a period of time with no explanation of how I "violated" their standards. This is the stuff communism is made of, and it's scary. Speaking of communism, I learned about people groups in a whole new light. I knew a good number of hispanic people supported the president out of a concern for freedom: they lived communism or their parents did, and they know better. But I was unaware of the large Chinese and Korean population fighting for an end to the CCP. Car after car after car drove by...CCP signs on their rooftops, handing out literature, desperation in their eyes. Beautiful Korean ladies decked out in flags, so grateful to be in America and so committed to reminding others that some of their friends were not so lucky... It is these kinds of moments that change you: that give you a new resolve and boldness that you didn't know you had. That serve as a reminder to the Democrats that it is not just about illegal immigrants at the border, the LGBTQ community or free healthcare for all. It is about people suffering the worst human rights abuses in the world. It is about forced abortions and live organ harvesting. It is about atrocities too awful for most of us to imagine. It is about hope that so many in the world are clinging to...that America holds onto her freedom, lest they also lose theirs. I remember reading about a young man that tried to swim to America from Cuba. The US Coastguard picked him up and brought him back. He told them he would rather drown than to go back. He was brought to the US Embassy, where he was allowed to file for asylum. It would be 3 long years before he got it. Even then, he was at risk while he waited, and he had to leave his family members behind. THIS is the reason we do not cut in front of others in the immigration line.
The issues are not simple. They seldom are. They are complicated, and its the issues we need to attack, NOT each other. I hope this post will shed some light into the eyes of some people to start thinking for themselves and not believe everything your read or hear. Get to know the candidates, get to know other people, and get to know the issues they care about and WHY they care about them. That is what it is all about. That's what America used to be all about. Working together to make our country a better place for all Americans. Not listening to bogus, hate-filled lies about half the nation that wants the same things you want, even if they have a different way of getting there.
