D.L. Gardner: Everybody knows nobody knows

Nobody knows. Everybody knows that. Why does anyone believe his or her opinion? Some will never understand. All of the (economists, scientists, experts) agree. “The more things change, the more they are the same.” Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr was a French critic, journalist and novelist. “For what it’s worth.”
OK, that last one is a Buffalo Springfield song written by Stephen Stills in 1966. “There’s somethin’ happenin’ here. But what it is ain’t exactly clear. There’s a man with a gun over there, A-tellin’ me I got to beware. I think it’s time we stop Children, what’s that sound? Everybody look what’s going down.” Three thousand years or so ago, the wisest man on earth wrote, “There’s nothing new under the sun.”
Last week, Hakeem Jeffries, N.Y. Congressman and House Minority Leader, criticized President-elect Trump’s nominations for cabinet members saying, “when we’re confronted with nominations like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are these the best individuals available to the incoming Trump administration?”
Congressman Jeffries was just putting in his own words the last verse of “For What It’s Worth.” “Paranoia strikes deep into your life, it will creep. It starts when you’re always afraid. You step out of line the man come and take you away. We better stop, hey, what’s that sound? Everybody look what’s going down.” That’s the way the last four years played out. We ain’t going back.
Congressman Jeffries is four years too late to ask that question of the outgoing administration. If only we had known then what we know now. Unlike the Biden administration, President-elect Trump’s administration has an electoral mandate from the American people demanding major changes in the federal government. President Trump is not handing out party favors, but is seriously selecting leaders who can and will make major changes demanded by the voters.
God had mercy on America four years ago when He put Joe Biden in the White House. That gave Donald Trump a four-year do-over and answered prayers of an overwhelming majority of American voters. Trump is now laser focused on what needs to be done and who is best to lead every department, bureau and agency. Donald Trump is God’s choice to make changes across America and especially in Washington, DC, to restore America’s leadership in the world and to bless America again.
Thanksgiving Day will be here before we know it. This year we can truly thank God for His blessings to reunite us in peace under His banner of love. It’s time to work together again and stop calling millions of fellow Americans names.
The fourth estate in America has suffered severely with lies and censorship. We’re already seeing changes in major news outlets. The New York Post headline was “LA Times owner to overhaul ‘very left’ editorial board, gives paradoxical reason for not endorsing Kamala Harris.” Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the Times, said “Harris’ support for Israel’s military actions in Gaza was one of the main reasons he refused to endorse the Democrat and said he wants to hire more conservative voices….”
During this period of postmortem after the election many are hoping news media from local to legacy will consider covering “more conservative voices.” They badly misjudged their readers and viewers who are far too conservative to tolerate nothing but woke news. Nevertheless, everybody knows nobody knows.
