For months, we’ve said we’d avoid getting dragged into current politics in this little blog, but we would not just accept lies, and we’d continue to focus on better ways to engage people and tell the truth well. The daily announcements and rhetoric coming from the current Washington regime can turn most thinking people into seething piles of rage. What used to be routine government information has been transformed into pure propaganda. By any objective measure, it’s clear that we’re being fed lies beyond anything we’ve experienced in our lifetimes from an unapologetic political regime.

Separating fact from fiction is challenging with the available flood of credible and incredible traditional and social media sources. Those producing the bull$hit are very good at it; they’ve changed the rules and have largely controlled the narrative. They’re playing a game that most of us don’t understand, and it’s time to learn.
