If I had not gotten into poison ivy, it would have taken me a lot longer to figure out what “fake news” is. To me, “resting” used to mean lounging around reading, or watching the news. Watching the news now feels more like torture, and I have mostly stopped watching any news. I no longer believe that much of it is true, anyway, and I never know what to believe. I used to keep the remote control in my hand, switching back and forth between CNN, MSNBC, HLN, ABC and FOX News. I did not want to miss anything that was happening in the world.
Once upon a time, after doing yard work for an entire day, I had to go to the E.R. when a tiny spot of poison ivy on my wrist, spread all over my body in about two days. The doctor gave me a steroid shot, steroid pills and antibiotics to take for ten days. I had no idea that I would get hardly any sleep for ten days on steroids.
I watched the news night and day for ten straight days! I had been hearing people talk about “fake news” but had no idea what they were talking about. I remember asking someone, “So, you mean there is ACTUALLY fake news out there?” The woman said emphatically “Oh, yeah!” I thought she meant there was a newspaper that was reporting made up news but did not inquire any further. I no longer bought newspapers, so I didn’t fret about it, and figured the newspaper would surely be found out for reporting “fake news” and go out of business soon enough.
I got the steroid shot on the day that the “breaking news” was about “Babies In Cages”. I had seen a Dr. Phil show where parents had kept their adopted children locked in dog cages for years before the local sheriff rescued them, so I thought they meant cages like that. Of course, I was just as alarmed as everyone else, or at least those who had not yet learned what “fake news” was. The other “breaking news” was about President Trump separating 2,500 children from immigrant parents at the border, who came here illegally. This was ALL that was on the news on EVERY channel, night and day, for ten straight days! I may not have known what “fake news” was, but I sure know fake tears when I see them.
I worked as a court reporter for 23 years and had seen plenty of fake tears from witnesses, as well as a few attorneys. I had seen plenty of feigned concern, but I saw more than I had seen in a lifetime during that ten-day time period.
During that ten days, I observed a hatred for President Trump grow exponentially, as one reporter after another claimed that he was keeping “babies in cages”. I never imagined that he could EVER overcome the phenomenal 
amount of hatred caused by “fake news”. And for sure, I learned what “fake news” is during that ten days when my eyes were wide open while I was “jacked up” on steroids.
I figured that “fake news” during those ten days, had ended any chance of President Trump getting to serve a second term. I did not see any outright lying on FOX News, as I did on “fake news” channels, but I became disappointed in FOX News, too. I felt like with just a little bit of effort, they (as more of a conservative news agency) could have done a lot more to help President Trump out a little bit… if they wanted to.
All I had was a high school education, a “Straight Talk” phone with Google, and a ten-day time period where I was awake night and day. The first clue to me that the concern was feigned was when reporters cried fake tears about the mylar blankets the children had to cover up with, yet not one single reporter bothered to send even one box of warm blankets for the children. These reporters were bad actors in more ways than one.
One thing that EVERYONE seemed to agree with, was that children are “scarred for life” when separated from parents. One child psychologist after another and one pediatrician and doctor after another, agreed that separating children from parents causes not only lifelong emotional problems, but health problems as well. The more child psychologists who proclaimed that children who are separated from parents are “scarred for life”, the hatred for President Trump seemed to become palpable.
It was mentioned ONLY on FOX News that when American parents break the law, that they are arrested, incarcerated and their children are taken away. I believe it was Chris Cuomo who said, “God forbid if even ONE of these children gets lost”. Soon after that, they lost one little boy. They did not stop searching for him until he was found a couple of days later. He had decided he wanted to go back home and had returned to Mexico.
In the meantime, I did some checking on Google, and at that time, found that thousands of American children had been lost after the government took them away from parents, and there were “4,900 and counting” at that time, and no one was even looking for them. I discovered that after the government took two-year-old Rilya Wilson away from 
her parents under Obama’s watch, she went missing, and it was two years before anyone even noticed. Not one reporter mentioned those facts, even on FOX News.
That information could have and SHOULD HAVE been found within seconds after it became clear that “fake news” was doing everything possible to get the entire nation to hate President Trump, probably so no one would EVER vote for him again.
There were twice as many American children who had been separated from American parents and then LOST while under government care, as the TOTAL NUMBER of children that President Trump separated. I looked to Google and found that 58,000 children in California continued to be separated from American parents after the government took them away. Yet people were demanding that these 2,500 children be reunited with their parents immediately.
Kamala Harris said, “The U.S. Government should not be in the business of separating children from parents”. Yet you have “The Corrupt Business of Child Welfare” by Sen. Nancy Schaeffer and hundreds of other newer investigative reports that reveal the same findings. One reporter said, “The only thing that could possibly make this any worse, is if President Trump was doing this for money”.
Again, I point to “The Corrupt Business of Child Welfare”, and how easily reporters could have found that. I believe it was Chris Cuomo who said, “God forbid if EVEN ONE of these children gets sick!”. I returned to Google and within a couple of minutes, found “Children dying at an alarming rate in foster care”. Within an hour, I found several cases 
where children had been bludgeoned to death, starved AND beaten to death, or had died from drinking meth ingredients, etc. in foster care, under the watch of prior presidents. One reporter even said, “God forbid that any of these children end up in foster care!” THEY KNEW ABOUT THESE THINGS that were happening to America’s children! However, they did not want anyone to hate prior presidents; they only wanted them to hate President Trump.
One person after another called President Trump evil, immoral and inhumane for separating those 2,500 children from parents. Laura Bush, Michele Obama and Hillary all made appearances and they all called President Trump evil, immoral and inhumane for separating those children and “scarring them for life”. Yet they, too remained silent about the tens of millions of children “scarred for life” that their own husbands took away from American parents.
Journalists were gushing all over each other complimenting each other and said it was a story “such as this” that made them so incredibly proud to be “journalists”. If they truly cared about children sleeping on mats, they could have easily asked people to send portable baby cribs, play pens and cots. That would have been a good reason to be proud to be a journalist. If they had told about the millions of American children being “scarred for life” after the government separates them from their parents, that would have been something to be proud of. They acted like they deserved something like a Nobel Peace Prize for getting as many people as possible to hate President Trump and believe that Trump is evil, immoral and inhumane, apparently to ruin his chances of serving a second term rather than providing things for the children they cared so much about. That is what they were proud of, berating the 
president… and I found them to be shameful!! That is when I learned that “fake news” is created with a phenomenal amount of lies and deliberate omissions.
It would be comparable to talking about a horrible and evil person who took a car from a disabled veteran, but NOT telling them the veteran had asked the person to use their car to go pick up food and medicine he desperately needed. But that is how “fake news” rolls. FOX News reporters were the only ones who reported that Obama had built those “cages” for babies. FOX News had the only reporters who mentioned that when American parents break the law, not only are their children taken from them, but the parents are arrested and incarcerated. Of course, I was also disappointed that the reporters at FOX never bothered to tell how many millions of children that Clinton, Bush and Obama had taken away, especially after Laura Bush, Michele Obama and Hillary made their appearances.
I have discovered, however, that some people truly DO NOT care about the millions of America’s children that were separated, and it doesn’t even seem to bother them that many of those children were sexually and physically abused in one foster care home after another, or that children have been dying at an alarming rate in foster care, and yet they continue to hate Trump for separating those 2,500 children at the border.
I wonder now if that ten-day time period is when “fake news” realized how easily they could manipulate and fool 
their audience. After that, I continued going back and forth between news channels, and “fake news” seemed to get better and better at keeping the good things that President Trump was doing for America in the dark. Democracy dies in darkness, and they know that better than anyone else. Biden has warned us that a “dark winter” is coming.
I watched Hillary and Trump closely during the campaign. I had talked personally with Gigi Bryant after Gov. Rick Perry appointed her to try to stop all the sexual and physical abuse of children in foster care in Texas. I was impressed with the fact that Tim Kaine’s wife was also trying to stop the sexual and physical abuse of children in foster care. I was aware that groups were springing up everywhere attempting to stop the abuse of children in foster care.
I did not like Hillary at all, but I kept hoping she would say that she was going to try to stop the sexual and physical abuse of children in foster care. She never said one word about it. As much as I did not like her, if she had said anything about assisting Tim Kaine’s wife or Gigi Bryant or the various groups that were trying to stop it, I feel pretty sure that I would have voted for her, in spite of my personal feelings of dislike for the woman.
Right after a whistleblower told Melania about the sex trafficking of children in foster care, President Trump passed the Families First Act and then the Families Forward Act and started finding those “lost” and sex trafficked children. Sadly, it may be too late for people to wake up the “woke” people.
Tedros with the World Health Organization (WHO) said they are going to start coming into our homes and remove anyone who tests positive for Covid. Silly man, we are protected by the Constitution in America. Really?
Now, ask yourself, how do you think tens of millions of children were taken away from parents without warrants.
Arizona is a good example. Only two mothers were ever able to find attorneys who were courageous enough to take on the government in court. In Orange County, there is “the right to lie case” where the social worker said she thought they had the right to lie to judges to convince them to take children away from parents. No doubt, she believed that because social workers who lie get immunity.
North Carolina is the only state where it is illegal to take children out of their homes without a warrant, but they do it, anyway. Florida is the only state where social workers can be sent to prison for 5 to 15 years for lying. In Arizona the social worker believed it was her right to lie to a judge with full immunity and even said, “We NEVER use warrants to take children away”.
Is the Mainstream Media (MSM) receiving the same immunity? Do they have a “right to lie”? Was it “fake news” that declared Biden the winner? Maricopa County, AZ had already been caught declaring nearly every death a “Covid” death, whether it was even “Covid related”. And Maricopa County declared nearly every vote a vote for Biden. Perhaps the MSM “fake news” is taking their cues from Arizona’s social workers.
Social workers in Arizona further admitted they never use warrants to come into people’s homes and take their children away. Judge Roberts bases decisions on precedence rather than on the Constitution. There is a 25-year precedent of social workers coming into your homes and seizing children.
Biden is already working with the WHO. There will be nothing to stop them from taking you from your home if you test positive for Covid. They can even lie about it and just say you have Covid. Biden would almost certainly undo President Trump’s Families First Act. Trillions of dollars can be made off children through foster care, if they can just keep taking tens of millions of them away from parents.
God help America!
