    And your post is hurtful to the conservative cause battling the leftists. I’m sure you are scratching your head saying wth, “what I said was true”. It is but we are in a culture war with the left and truth is a causality.

    Do you think anyone on the left corrects leftist statements like you did this? Nope! They post some dopey meme about guns, we on INGO guffaw about it, ridicule it for being wrong, but the middling members of our society eat it up, so it was a lie, but it worked.

    Bill Gates and China own an alarming portion of our food lands, production, processing, and distribution. If you have watched the video I constantly repost, “monopoly, follow the money”, you will understand that the left has figured out how to leverage small amounts to control exponentially more than they own.

    It was not a scientific dissertation, it was a ****ing tweet, that makes a point that is correct.

    Wow. Where to start with this ... I think we probably agree about more things than we disagree. I too hate the left's ideas, tactics, and most important, their success with the ignorant masses.

    I too agree that we're in a war with the left - one that will shape our country for our kids and grandkids.

    Where I disagree is tactics. Assuming you meant "truth is a casualty" and not causality - two different things - I would say that objective reality, or truth, is never a casualty. Certainly it is twisted, used, abused and perverted, by some. But reality, and truth, still exist, just like it always has, and always will. The fact that many can be lead away from the truth, to all of our detriment and maybe even our country's existence as we've known it, has no bearing on the existence of truth.

    My opinion, and it is only that, is that we should not mimic the left's perversion of the truth, in order to sway people to our point of view. I say this not for any particular moral superiority, although that is one consideration, but because I believe the truth is a more powerful weapon in our fight against the left. For instance, the truth about economic and energy policy is getting ready to slap every American, and perhaps every human on this planet, with a dose of truth - or reality - if you will. I believe the right should pound this into the brains of every American, to the extent we are able.

    I have more to say on this, but alas, my fingers grow tired, but a couple final points:

    I have not watched the 'monopoly, follow the money' video yet. I will though. You are correct that the left knows how to leverage a little power, along with their lies and the help of the traitorous media, to hurt our country.

    Also, I understand the nature of memes. Exaggeration, hyperbole, sarcasm are all fair game. But they usually contain at least a little truth, or humor, to be effective.

    So should we mark you down as good with 100 people owning all the farmland?

    The answer is no, you should not. And when Gates owns 5/100ths of one percent, instead of his 2.4/100ths of one percent, maybe I'll be slightly more alarmed.

    Also, I don't find the tone of this particular post very conducive to a real conversation on this topic. I guarantee you I'm as adamant a conservative as you are. We don't need to be attacking each other on slight differences of opinion we may have.

    Sorry, I just get frustrated with the those bent on nit picking conservatives memes and points.

    Bill Gates buying up all the farmland
    is far more concerning than Elon
    Musk buying up all of Twitter.

    The point can be accurate because he said the farmland, not farmland. The farmland can refer to the land BG bought, but it is unclear. But as I said I doubt the left has these conversations at all…

    Twitter: Doxxing will get you banned.


    Reality: Unless it is being done against the "Right"





    Wasn't this the woman complaining about being doxxed?

    I canceled. Been meaning to for a long time, but finally did it after finding out no one in the family cared. If I need to I can re-up for a month here and there if there's something I just have to watch, but it's doubtful as most of their shows have seriously gone downhill.

    Which is probably a reason they lost so much money a few days ago.
    I doubt it. They are losing customers. Their response is to add a service in the future with commercials, and talk about stopping people from sharing their accounts. They think that will force people to pay for the service, rather than get more people to cancel it.

    And why are they losing customers?
    I'm sure there are multiple reasons, such as.. more platforms available.
    But, one of the reasons could be... people unhappy with their programming.
