Five General Rules on Disinformation or Biased News

 My humble advice:

1.  If you read through a forty-line story and there's only marginally two lines of pure fact...the odds are that there's a fair amount of 'sway' or disinformation in the piece.

2.  If 'anonymous' sources are the primary structure of the article/news....it's best to just discard it.

3.  If they tell you right away that their data has been fact-checked....like in paragraph two, then it's probably wise to ask who the fact-checker is, and their background or past.

4.  Typically, the headline of a disinformation piece is signaling you ahead of time.....so look over the headline carefully.

5.  Finally, if the article is written to help someone or some group, or to harm someone/some group.....the odds are heavily in favor of it being disinformation. 

The Biden Dilemma Over Illegal Immigration

 If you go and review CNN or any of the normal news networks....the number of illegal migrants in the US is somewhere between 10 and 20 million (it's generally the number that the US government will sign up to and agree on).

So the real question here....if Biden's policy to offer amnesty occurs, and suddenly the real number turns out to be 30 to 35 million?  That type of revelation would put the whole government and migrant focus into a different prospective.  Some would ask....how did fifteen-odd million people just hide from all this data collection, and others would ask.....what type of work were these people doing to hide from state and federal officials.  

All of this to occur by the end of 2021?  Probably.

If the numbers stay in the ten to twenty-million range?  The situation can just continue on.  If it gets up around 25-to-30 million?  Just settle back to be entertained, and once you get to around 35 million....things will get real interesting. 

Is Mitch McConnell Nuts?

 Around six weeks ago, Senator McConnell made a blunt statement....Trump was finished....Trump was not helpful....the party needs to move on....etc.  It was obvious then that the Kentucky Senator was finished with relations with Trump.

So in the past forty-eight hours....the same guy comes out and says he will support Trump in 2024 if he wins at the convention.  

Nuts?  On my humble scale....Mitch is somewhere around a 9-to-9.5 on the nuts scale.  

If Trump emerges in 2024 and wins at the convention....I expect Mitch to be one of about forty Republicans who are deemed as unhelpful and given zero access to Trump's inner circle.  

What really happened here?  I would suggest around fifty-percent of Republican Senators have been around DC so much.....that they really don't grasp what has occurred in the nation over the past forty years.  

These are people who need to pack up a camper, and spend six weeks traveling around the nation....getting a clear understanding of what changed, and how they (the Senators) no longer fit into reality.
