For The New GOP It's All About Repeating Simple Lies
In his latest book, retired United States Army lieutenant general Michael Flynn,* includes the following quote from Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels: If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. Flynn then tells a big lie hoping readers will believe it. The Citizenâs Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare, Session 1: Introduction to 5GWâŠ

Sandy Hook, Republicans and the Mainstreaming of Conspiracies
In January 2016 â three years and one month after 6-year-old Noah Pozner was murdered at Sandy Hook his father Lenny was enjoying a day with Noahâs two sisters. The pleasant day was interrupted by phone calls from an unknown number. Four calls in five minutes. Lenny listened to the first message and closed his phone returning to his daughters. Later that evening, at home, he put on headphones, soâŠ

'Believe Me' Examines Evangelical Loyality To Trump
âBelieve Meâ Examines Evangelical Loyality To Trump
Raised in an evangelical church, I was deeply interested in reading Believe Me: The Evangelical Road To Trump by historian John Fea.
Fea, a self-described evangelical (as the book jacket cover notes) was not surprised when 81 percent of evangelicals supported Trump. Instead he argues, it was the âlogical outcome of a long-standing evangelical approach to public life.â An approach Fea describes as,

'Red State Blues' Puts Trumpism Into Perspective
âRed State Bluesâ Puts Trumpism Into Perspective
I have grown to appreciate the various small, independent publishing houses and authors that have spoken their truth in the age of Trump. Belt Publishing is one I especially enjoy. They published What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia which is a much more balanced view of the region than Hillbilly Elegy.
Their latest book I read is Red State Blues: Stories from Midwestern Life on the Left.âŠ

'Recovery Boys' Another Great Documentary On Opioid Crisis
âRecovery Boysâ Another Great Documentary On Opioid Crisis
When I watched the parade scene in âRecovery Boysâ a Netflix original documentary created by the producer of Heroin(e), I felt like I was watching a parade in my hometown. The backdrop of the empty, gutted downtown looked eerily similar in concept.
But, in Preble County, an apparent change in the heroin supply, dropped the number ofâŠ

âIntuitionâ by Osho Delves Into Our Other Intelligences
After watching, Wild, Wild Country, I purchased a book written about the spiritual guru, Osho, who was featured in the Netflix series.
Knowing that he taught a doctrine of free love, I attempted to steer clear of that topic, and chose âIntuition,â but since the doctrine is, in many ways, at the core of his beliefs about repression, the subject did surface in this book as well.
Overall, though, IâŠ

'The Righteous Mind' Seeks To Explain What Divides Us
âThe Righteous Mindâ Seeks To Explain What Divides Us
I have spent much of this year researching poverty while continuing to read politics, especially with regards to why, as a nation we have proven incompetent in solving poverty. Some of these books are academic in nature so I do not review them.
But, I took a break from that subject to âget some fresh airâ and one of the books I recently read, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided ByâŠ

When Leaders Lie, And Supporters Embrace It
When you say you follow Jesus but support laws that hurt people Jesus helped â people stop believing you & you hurt Christianity. â Mark Sandlin
Regardless of where one stands on the Border Crisis issue, some facts hold up despite this era of dishonesty. The shift that created the crisis was the âZero Toleranceâ policy implemented by Attorney Jeff Sessions in April â a policy that has theâŠ

Separating Children From Parents In Current Border Crisis Needs To End
Politicians love to keep things murky, it makes rallying people to a cause simpler.
It is why in the current Border Crisis there is confusion over who these people are. Are they: illegal immigrants, undocumented workers or asylum seekers? They all get lumped into one big group.
For clarification, these are asylum-seekers. These are families leaving war-torn regions of the world seeking safetyâŠ

It's Time For Them To Go
Itâs Time For Them To Go
I spoke with a young black man this week who is from New Orleans. Since I was in New Orleans a couple of years ago, our conversation drifted to the various statues and monuments in the region.
He said he walked past the statue of Jefferson Davis on his way to school. This is in the 21st century.
When a young black child has to walk past the statue of man who âif he had his druthersâ would haveâŠ

When It Comes To Chemical Addiction, The Jokes On Small Town America
âThis post is so gross. Non-violent drug offenses drain tax payer money. These people need treatment not prison.â An English teacher responding to the post. The Gratis Police Department replied, âWho said anything about prison?â
When I screen-grabbed the Gratis Police Departmentâs Facebook post, it had been shared about 7,500, earning it the designation of âviralâ by a Dayton, Ohio TV station.âŠ

âWild, Wild Countryâ Documentary Pits Small Town America Against Religious Guru
If you enjoy American history, and a well-narrated story, tune into Wild, Wild Country on Netflix. Itâs binge worthy.
This six-part Netflix original weaves together hours of newsreel beginning in the early 1980s and commencing near the end of the decade. It tells the story of the Rajneesh communitylocated just outside of Antelope,âŠ

Christians Embracing NFL Anthem Rule Lost Site Of Jesusâ Philosophy
When I see christians embracing the NFL decision to restrict a playerâs right to dissent and nullifying a playerâs freedom of speech I am reminded of how morally weak too many of them are.
It reminds me of the mindset that led to the creation of the Southern Baptist Church.
The church was established during the Civil War because a group of nationalist christians believed God condoned slavery.âŠ

Tea Party Speaker Touts âSchool Are Liberal And Evilâ Message In My Conservative, Rural Town
Lisa Watson is a modern-day Apostle Paul.
âChief of sinnersâ Paul was doubly bad â being a Jew persecuting Christians. According to Christian tradition, Paul was travelling to Damascus when a voice from heaven and a bright light interrupted the trip. The episode led to his conversion and, indirectly, to the creation of most of the New Testament.

Playing at the White House in the late 1970s may have been the pinnacle of Larry Normanâs career.
When youâre raised in an Evangelical church and you want to be rebellious â without going wild â and itâs the late 1970s, you buy a LP of Only Visiting This Planetby Larry Norman, or any of his works. As a teen you knew that any Norman album was hands down better than the Gospel quartets the churchâŠ

'Beautiful Boy' Chronicles Teen's Descent Into Meth Addiction
âBeautiful Boyâ Chronicles Teenâs Descent Into Meth Addiction
Two of the selling points for living in a small, rural town, is less crime and less drug use. Life is often portrayed, especially in farming communities like mine, as more natural â even holy. But, the myth has been destroyed in recent years as news spread about the opioid epidemic ravishing small towns.
But, before heroin, we were dealing with meth.
Meth (and heroin) tends to be more devastatingâŠ
