    Generalities of the Court Jester! Defunding Police Citizen and Community Comments Looking at the wide-ranging crime, assault, murder, and other heinous behaviors by people who feel entitled or suffering some warped attitude is sickening.  It is shameful, particularly in big cities (an example of craven) and in some governor's rhetoric (NYS assistant governor, for example)! Okay, right to an individual opinion?  Yes, you do!  But, if elected to represent all people, your failure must have consequences, and as the public grows more angry, unforgiving, and will act, accountability will come upon you.  Political party choice and designation are corrupt and no longer representative .  Change means that people run for office based on their character, honesty, willingness to represent the country, and people in an open and best practices model.  And a second and simultaneous action is term limits, one time only! So, here are opinions from across the country, steps that must happen and
When Political Positions Fail to Carryout Their Duties - Will Accountability Emerge? The below headline (09.06.21) is undoubtedly unfair as its broad stroke labels democratic mayors as a unified group, insensitive to the ripping apart of the social fabric. However, many are asking: (1) what is the motivation for this refusal.  ] (2) how many "victims" must there be before those who refuse action are held accountable? (3) When will accountability be leveled for failure to perform one's oath and duties, for recompensation of loss, injury, and death, and in that failure receive an adequate penalty? No person of any race, gender, education, religion, place of abode, and numerous other identifiers should be victimized by those who were elected to preserve the peace, protect, and be a good steward of public well-being and safety.  To act like the headline indicates, there are serious issues of mental health, myopic and prejudicial beliefs, and/or some gain that is hidden from t
  Generalities of the Court Jester!   Consolidation of Reality – the Black Hole of a Single Planet While I have curtailed news watching, the same messages, emerging repeatedly, the most infuriating of the day have planned intensity (as if we hear it better), loud, and often without the slightest fullness of reporting facts and differences the whole story.   The dumbing down of America is in full swing. It sends a message of truth twisting, agenda fulfillment, controlled thinking, remove the ability to discern, discuss, and make good decisions – all that is done for us!   Nary a concern for the shame they bring themselves. Brainwashing (also known as mind control, menticide, coercive persuasion, thought control, thought reform, and re-education) is the concept that specific psychological techniques can alter or control the human mind. Brainwashing is said to reduce its subject's ability to think critically or independently, allow the introduction of new, unwanted thoughts and

  COMMUNITY COMMENTARY:    Opinions, hidden rhetoric, agenda-driven script, whose real purpose is hidden from the public, is often subjected to subterfuge, and some warped plan to erase this Country, is disdainful.  Presenting other views is an obligation for all to read. Opinion by one of America's "Fact Driven" commentators.  Truth-based narration that is not tied to an agenda, refreshing! Does America Still Work? Victor Davis Hanson   August 27, 2021   Updated: August 27, 2021   bigger smaller   Print Commentary For nearly two years, Americans have engaged in a great woke experiment of cannibalizing themselves. American civilization has invested massive labor, capital, and time in an effort to constantly flagellate itself for not being perfect. Yet  America ’s resilience and its resources are not infinite. We are now beginning to see the consequences of what happens when premodern tribalism absorbs Americans. There are repercussions when ideology governs policy or when
             Rehabilitation of Convicted to a Productive Social Lifestyle Exploration of Focus from Parochial to Rightful Place!   by Richard C. Lumb, Ph.D. Public Safety Planning, Policy, and Research, LLC August 22, 2021 [1] _________________________________________________________ Introduction. If society redirects the headlong rush to the cliff, we must simultaneously change multiple systems and functions to overcome the numerous failures that exacerbate in number and severity.   Orchestrating change requires persistence, courage, numbers, and determination.   Headlong "drift" is harmful, has been, and diminishes expectations.   The new goals are accompanied by honest goal determination, scientific guidance, developing mission and goals, couched in values and vision, the goal of ending self-regard, and the shrouding of purpose and truth.   I opt-out of discussing falsified "bliss" as it has multiple meanings, best left to the reader. Recidivism
                   Informed or Uninformed - - A dilemma of Proportions Information on the below article (" More Americans now say the government should take steps to restrict false information online than in 2018" – Pew Research Center ) is an illustration of why more information is needed. The article by two Pew Research writers represents a single aspect of a complex problem.  The analysis falls short.  Yes, it carries value, but we must also determine the underlying question to identify its parameters, seek depth of understanding, and engage in analysis to guide sustainable solutions.  Excellent decisions can emerge from in-depth knowledge, having drilled down into its historical underpinning and enabling appropriate analysis.  Ignoring those aspects, too often commonplace, is analogous to  observing the opposite side of the stream, prepare to leap, but not judge the distance . I accept the author's comments but want to say, "finish the piece for much is mi
