The Weekly Review: July 2 – 8

 

There’s only one presidential candidate on the left who interests me, and that’s Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

I like him. He seems like a decent guy. I need to read more about his positions.

Also, at the fresh, bloom-of-life age of 69, Kennedy is just a babe compared to four-score seniors like Biden and Trump.

QAnon!

 

 

I’ve been reading about this movement/ideology/whatever for years, and yet I still don’t understand it.

Here’s what I do understand: When the mainstream media, increasingly in the business of lying to the public, decries QAnon as a nest of liars, and when far-fetched “conspiracy theories” of the past continually turn out to be true, well … I’m not so quick to judge.
