30 seconds ago I told you to stop trusting news.
Instead of turning off CNN, wadding up USA Today, and ignoring every virtue signaling politician …
…you freaked out about Jussie Smollett.
So here we are again.
There’s a word for people like you.
“Chump”
I sort of feel sorry for you.
Chumps are easy to manipulate.
You’ve sent your bank account information to a foreign diplomat because he sent an email asking for help smuggling gold into the U.S.
You believe the Earth is heating up because you saw a picture of a polar bear floating on a chunk of ice.
You buy lottery tickets because, “You can’t win if you don’t play!”
You were outraged by Jussie Smollett’s fiction because it didn’t seem the least bit far-fetched to your simple, chump brain.
Chumps think racists wander around Chicago with bottles of bleach at 2am in sub-zero temperatures looking for people to harass.
As a matter of fact, chumps think this kind of thing happens every day, all over America!
The chumps are fed up with bigotry so they bravely kneel at football games.
You’ve probably knelt during the National Anthem.
Self-righteously affirming, “I won’t honor this country until it’s legal for black men to buy Subway sandwiches.”
I would tell you there’s no systemic racism in the United States but you won’t believe me.
Because you trust the news.
You believe America is just half a step above Hell.
You admire Hell’s inclusiveness.
You’re a chump.
And you seem to be proud of it.
That’s the only explanation for why you keep trusting news.

Beginning in 1966, I have observed that every news story where I was either involved or otherwise knowledgeable contained factual errors. This has been true even in cases where no bias was involved.
I quit trusting the news years before it became cool. Back in 1967, I noticed that the reports from events happening at my school weren’t “entirely” true. By the mid90s, the “slant” was obvious. For the past 20 years, I have accepted that what I hear is probably untrue & more opinion than facts.
Chumps will trust and believe everything and everyone EXCEPT the Bible and the God who wrote it yet He’s never lied or broken a promise. And they think we’re the crazy ones. smh
Intelligent people tend to be skeptical of both the media AND the absurd claims advocates make on behalf of the Bible. We can hold more than one idea in our heads at a time.
And no, we don’t think you’re crazy. Just highly impressionable, and lacking in critical thinking when it comes to your holy book.
But, if I don’t trust everything the person in the big talking box says, how am I supposed to come to conclusions for myself on things happening in the world? You think I’m gonna think g things through all by myself! 🙂
