It has been whipped up into a religious frenzy. What the media and the Democrats have overlooked is they have gone<strong> WAY TOO FAR<\/strong> and this is indeed becoming a religious quest and therein lies the danger for HUGE civil unrest. After the November elections, there is <strong>NO POSSIBLE WAY<\/strong> that either side will accept the results. This means historically the only solution becomes violence. The Media is so hateful of Trump because he has called them the fake news. But he has only stated what the majority believe and those in the media refuse to acknowledge. Most Americans cannot even name a nonbiased neutral news source! <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/225755\/americans-news-bias-name-neutral-source.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Gallup Poll<\/strong> <\/a>now shows that 45% see a great deal of political bias in news coverage, up from 25% in 1989.<\/p>\n<p>We are cascading into the <strong>War Cycle<\/strong> and believe me, this is <strong>NOT<\/strong> a forecast I even like to repeat. It is not something where I am warning people to reverse course or else, because there is no reversing this trend. We are a fly on the rear-end of an elephant with no shot of steering him in the right direction. We simply have to ride it out until the bloody end.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The View of American Politics from Afar COMMENT:\u00a0This business with Trump and the media is quite amazing when seen from a distance.
