CBS Evening News is no longer honest non biased reporting, but is now agenda driven to support right wing regressive goals. Investigate for yourself. I sent them an eMail - evening@cbsnews.com - letting them know they have lost our viewership.

The victims are planning their next move to name names, in mid 2026

There is a whole class of people in the world who, because they have money, feel that they are better than regular people. These wealthy people are responsible for war, poverty, and environmental degradation. Support good leaders and education.

How can any sane, rational person, be OK with what's going on?

The Way Forward
What each of us can do is to support education, good leaders, and groups such as the ACLU and the League of Women Voters. We didn’t get where we are overnight and it will take time to turn things around.

Maurice duBois and John Dickerson are leaving CBS News under pressure from new owners who are not into free speech. Those that have ears let them hear. A handful of billionaires want to rule the world. They are attacking democracy on multiple fronts.

I asked Gemini AI why more influential people aren't speaking out for democracy in the USA these days: "Their personal interests are more important to them than preserving democracy" (paraphrased)

Bucking the System, by David Stearns,
available on Amazon, written in 2021, describes this in detail. Support good education and good leaders.

This is not just about one man's greed corruption or contempt for the Constitution, Bernie Sanders said.
This is about a handful of the wealthiest people on earth who have hijacked our economy and democracy in order to enrich themselves at the expense of working families throughout this country.

Appeasement didn't work for Neville Chamberlain and it won't work today. Stand up and fight back! Protest - register and vote.

The really rich people don't care how bad it gets. They will buy up more companies, land, and property. The rest of us will be reduced to begging for crumbs off the table. Say no to the power grab!

We need a coordinated plan joined by progressive groups to get our democracy back and to keep it.

So, one of my (real world) friends asked Chat GTP "How to remove a wannabe dictator in a democracy?" If you would like the 10 page PDF thread, message me your E-Mail address. Or ask a chatbot yourself. AI did a good job of providing useful suggestions.

Not to belabor a point, but to remind all my friends that the driving force behind what's going on in the USA is the ultra wealthy trying to get complete control. "Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will be safe in 100 battles." Sun Tzu, The Art of War

My book, Bucking the System, is now available on Amazon. The 3rd edition has a few changes from #1 and #2, but is basically the same. A description is on my Facebook page.

You are correct 1984 New Year's Eve. You visited me in Sacramento at Pat Hodel's.

I don't blame you. There is still a lot of useful and interesting content there. I'm going to stick it out a while longer. Most of my Republican friends have unfriended me or I have unfriended them.
