I鈥檓 slowly getting back into the political game, but my interest in national politics has taken a nosedive.

I haven鈥檛 been watching the mainstream media since the presidential election. I used to tune in to the political talk shows every Sunday.

I occasionally read the comments from the two local right-wing shows, and I鈥檝e made a few comments, but they went unnoticed. My comments were made after the programs ended.

I tried a new source because apparently, the mainstream media is still the enemy. It鈥檚 funny that every time I use Fox as a source, I don鈥檛 get a response.

One poster claimed that 300,000 children went missing under the Biden-Harris administration. I tried explaining that it was an exaggeration and sourced it with Meta AI. She responded with a smiley emoji and a LOL. Then, she implied that Google and Meta set their algorithms to match the liberal agenda.

I鈥檓 still not getting the answers I want about the Jan. 6 attack on our Capitol. I read Steven Sund鈥檚 book, 鈥淐ourage under Fire,鈥 by the police chief of the Capitol on Jan, 6. I learned that the National Guard never arrived at the Capitol while it was being attacked until the very end.

The military was just down the block, waiting for orders. It seems that the Department of Defense and the Secretary of the Army didn鈥檛 want the military to be seen at the Capitol. I also learned that the military and the FBI knew about the possible threat but didn鈥檛 pass the information down to the Capitol Police.

I鈥檓 afraid I鈥檓 going to my grave without knowing who did what and why. And that applies to several court cases being dismissed.

I鈥檓 reading about proposals to issue preemptive pardons for people working for the President鈥攑ast and future. What a way to run a government!

The year 2025 is shaping up to be a wild ride in politics. The Senate has a six-vote GOP advantage, but the House can only lose two Republicans to pass their bills. They鈥檙e not budging and think they have the support of the people, even though Trump didn鈥檛 get 50% of the vote. He only got 49.9%.

I鈥檓 not going to stress about what Donald Trump says in 2025. Hakeem Jeffries just needs to stay focused until 2026 when they鈥檒l have new representatives.
