Think Things Through

People keep telling me, “Clayton, if you move down south, you're going to get lynched! Especially with a white girl! You’re safe here in New York!” Really? I beg to differ.

I mean, have we all been sleeping through the recent news?

Columbia University is right in our backyard with their blatant hatred of Jews on that campus earlier this year, and we're pretending racism only happens below the Mason-Dixon line.

I hate to break it to you, but New York isn’t exactly an anti-racism utopia.

I'm glad racists are finally showing their true selves and not hiding like they usually do up in the Northeast.

Racism is everywhere!

I'd rather deal with it without being cold and stepping over needles and rats (and paying crazy taxes to Kathy Hochul and Eric Adams).

Enjoy your commute!

Remember when Dan Quayle's political career tanked because he couldn't spell "potato"? Or when Howard Dean's White House dreams went up in flames because he got a little too excited at a rally? And we have this clow again.

Trump has single-handedly transformed the presidency into a national sideshow, and the world’s watching in disbelief as he somehow edges closer to taking the stage again.

Do you ever find yourself questioning the media's grasp on reality? Have you ever felt a surge of anger at the sight of unchallenged political fabrications? These 'facts' that are taken for granted can be maddening.

Many people are tuning out of politics entirely, either not voting or picking "none of the above." When they boycott the system or make a pointless choice, it's their way of saying the system is rotten.

I've been getting more cynical because of the conflicting and confusing political news.

Am I the only one who feels this way? What can be done to change this? Can we ever trust the media and political system again, or are we stuck with this mess?

They should make the propaganda less obvious.

It's like when they kept saying Biden was "sharp as a tack," the vaccine was "safe and effective," the economy is "booming," and certain policies are "for the greater good."

Matt Barnes, who used to play in the NBA, and Sage Steele, a well-known sports journalist, recently talked about their experiences with the COVID vaccine rules. They both mentioned how the information available at the time wasn't clear or reliable.

Steele clarified, “I wasn’t anti-the-shot… I just need more time,” emphasizing her desire for more information before deciding on such an important decision.

Matt echoed this sentiment, stating, “We were the guinea pigs… whatever they put in us, we were the guinea pigs,” questioning the potential long-term effects of the COVID jabs.

Sage said, “I was never a conspiracy theorist. I just want truth. And when I see lies, immediately, then you go, well, what else have you lied to me about?”

In September 2021, Sage Steele spoke on a podcast about feeling "defeated" by having to get a mandatory COVID-19 vaccine to keep her job after her employer, Disney, issued a mandate in July 2021.

In a similar vein, Matt Barnes, a studio analyst for NBC Sports California, shared that he had a similar experience. During an appearance on VladTV, he stated, "I was forced to do it to keep my job."

How would you feel about getting vaccinated if it was a requirement for your job?

For those that don’t know what’s going on: Columbia University protests expected for 5th straight day

I’m sure this will end the 3,000 year war in the Middle East:

Migrants are utilizing TikTok for guidance on unauthorized entry into the United States.

It's interesting to see how these people are turning to this platform for advice on crossing into the Unites States. According to 60 Minutes, “The post we found had step-by-step instructions for hiring smugglers and detailed directions to that hole we visited. We were struck by just how orderly and routine it all seemed.”

“Last year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that 37,000 Chinese citizens were apprehended crossing illegally from Mexico into the U.S. Many of the migrants said they were escaping China’s repressive political climate and sluggish economy.”

What are your thoughts on this and what do you think should be done?
