Not one single thing was news or from a reputable source. It was all opinion or hard left biased sources. Your ears must be ringing from the echo chamber.
As I wrote previously I could go on and on……. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, NY Times, NBC News, etc., etc., etc., they are all reporting basically the same thing.
With one major exception. I’m waiting for a certain someone who posts thousands of FoxNews to post and that will show what a great job the President did last night.

Lessons Trump Supporters Are Teaching Their Children
Whether they realize it or not, they’re teaching them...
Diversity is dangerous.
The more differences around you, the more there is to fear. Threats always come from those who aren’t like you. If someone’s pigmentation or orientation or nation of origin doesn’t match your own, they’re probably someone you want to avoid or be wary of. Never seek out difference. Exclusion and self-preservation are the best defenses against the evils in the world.
Compassion is a flaw.
To feel empathy is to show weakness. Sitting with people long enough to see them and understand their story and to feel a bit of their pain will only slow you down. The more callous you can become, the less vulnerable you are. The greatest virtue in this life is to simply not give a damn about other people. A dead heart is much better than a bleeding one.
Women are less-than.
Consent is irrelevant. Autonomy is unimportant. A woman exists solely for the pleasure and purpose of men, and this is true of wives and partners and blind dates and people you pass on the street. No matter how much they accomplish, they will always be the butt of the joke. Whatever a man does to a woman, no matter how disgusting, he will never be made accountable for.
People don’t matter.
Human beings are things, insignificant and expendable casualties, wielded in battles you manufacture in order to win. The actual flesh and blood lives on the other side of your stereotypes, and slurs, and caricatures have no intrinsic value. The moment you can dehumanize a person you’ve never met, is the moment you free yourself from any responsibility for the damage you do to them or applaud someone else doing.
Whiteness is better.
You’ll hear a lot about equality, and you might even pretend it matters to you when it’s helpful, but don’t believe it for a second. Brown and black-skinned people are a problem, a danger, a barrier, and most of all a threat. Never see or treat them as equals, never stop dehumanizing them, and never forget that your levels of melanin make you superior.
Religion is a prop.
Faith is simply a costume to put on when it profits you; a shiny veneer to cover yourself in in order to ingratiate yourself with genuinely spiritual people who will think the best of you, and thus be easily fooled. Wield religious values like a rented tuxedo: wear them in public for special events and discard them elsewhere.
America is the world.
Some people will tell you that all human beings on the planet have value, that humanity is one interdependent community sharing the same home, that a child five thousand miles away is as important as one down the street or the one in your nursery. Don’t buy it. The place where you live and the people who live there are better than everyone else.
Never apologize.
When you are found to be wrong or speak in error, never admit it. No matter how far afield of facts you find yourself or how grievous the mistake or how divorced from reality your initial statements may have been, simply double down, gaslight people, and attack your critic’s credibility and integrity—but never admit the error and never, under any circumstance, apologize. That is failure.
It’s all about you.
Forget the advice of your teachers and pastors and storybooks, and discard all that nonsense about loving your neighbor as yourself or doing unto others as you’d have done to you. Other people’s experiences are unimportant. In this self-centered universe, you are the solitary sun around which every other body revolves. The more you allow other people to be seen and heard, the less you will be able to thrive. This is a zero-sum game, and there is only one winner.
Cheat to win.
The desired ends justify any possible means, no matter how vile. Rig every system, fix every game, stack every deck, and justify it all because the victory is all that matters. Fair play, honesty, and being a person of honor are all of little value. What really matters is the prize, so be sure and get it. Winning is worth both someone else’s pain and your soul.”
Convictions are for sale.
Everything has a price: your word, your allegiance, your vote, and yes, even your soul. Don’t waste any time trying to cultivate personal morality, or forming a code of ethics, or standing for anything. Those things will only weigh you down and hinder your success. Instead, find which way the wind is blowing and move that way. See who the likely winners will be and cast your lots with them. Don’t worry about your soul—take the cash.
Laws don’t apply to you.
In theory, society has rules, and they must be followed by everyone (well, not you, of course). It will be important to give lip service to “doing things the right way,” and to “valuing the Constitution,” and to “obeying the laws in place”, as such declarations will divert people’s attention from your disregarding anything that prevents you from advancement or profit. But find the loopholes and use them, that’s why they’re there.
When in doubt, lie.
The truth is malleable. It is something fluid. You get to define it for yourself and for those who listen to you. Have no concern about facts or objective reality or data; instead, over and over and over, speak untruth with conviction. Say the lies with confidence, and suddenly they will become true.
A generation of children is learning these things from the people most entrusted to show them how to be human. They are forming the lenses through which they see the world from birth. It will be almost impossible for them to discern reality.
The rest of us will have to do all we can to remind them that this simply isn’t good or right or decent, and help them transcend their parents’ prejudices and preferences, and to embrace interdependence and equality and compassion.
The world we become depends on it.
As a wise woman once said, “It takes a village.”
(Trump Supporters, you’re welcome to dispute the above assertions, just know that the President’s own words and actions are the greatest argument against you. The daily, incendiary filth he manufactures is recorded, and it testifies loudly to his hatred for a large portion of this nation. As long as you support it, you’re declaring what you value or complicit in something you object to.)
One thing you learn as you raise children is that they’re always watching, always listening, always learning; that you are forever teaching them something even when you’re unaware: about what you value, about the way to treat people, about how to be a human being.
I wonder if people supporting Donald Trump and this Administration realize what they’re teaching their children; what boosting his words and applauding his tantrums and celebrating his assaults on vulnerable people is telling them.Whether they realize it or not, they’re teaching them...

MAGA voter crashes 'scumbag' Dem senator's SOTU boycott speech: 'Go Trump!'
A MAGA supporter crashed Democrats' "People's State of the Union" counter-event on Tuesday, calling Sen. Murphy a "scumbag" before being escorted out by security staff.
www.foxnews.com
Democrats were mocked on social media Tuesday night and Wednesday after multiple clips from their State of the Union boycott rally went viral, including when a Trump supporter crashed a speech by Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn.
"Hey Murphy, you’re a scumbag," the protester said.
Audiences online immediately began mocking the incident and hailing the Trump supporter as an American "patriot."
"A patriot CRASHED the Democrats’ little counter-State of the Union out in front of the Capitol, making his way on stage. Tonight was just a MASSIVE, all-around failure for Democrats," one commentator said in a post to social media.
