NEWS: The truth is critical

| May 9, 2025 1:00 AM

I’ve watched the news quite seriously lately. It strikes me that for absolute truth and logical thinking, MSNBC is worth the time. I realize that some of my Republican friends do not watch it, falsely believing it is a “pack of lies.” That is a ridiculous notion.

I am not an educated Ph.D. (doctor of philosophy), but I can recognize truth from fiction. I would submit that all our divisiveness would be gone IF we all would get our information from the same source. I maintain that MSNBC deals in truth. I wish Republicans who support Donald Trump would believe me. He’s making so many wrong decisions and telling so many lies that I can’t keep up.

Blaming Joe Biden for the bad economy? For what the tariffs are doing for us now? For the best economy in years that were here in Biden’s term? Is he kidding? He has no sense of humor, so I know he’s not kidding. I see nothing but gloom and despair in these next three-plus years. Hopefully, I’ll be proven wrong. But hopelessly I hope to be right.
