A former president who could possibly become president again is encouraging the American people to read the Bible, and pray – isn’t that wonderful and what we should want in our President?
The Trump Bible thing, I was not going to address this but…is Trump a politician recommending a book (not an uncommon thing) or is he a man on the street who happens to have been President and is currently running for that office? He is not in an elected office currently, just an American with a big name.
If the GOP wanted a Trump victory in 2024, it would have spent the last 4 years banning mail-in ballots, cleaning voter rolls, outlawing private money in public elections and getting rid of electronic voting machines.

After watching the whole embedded video I think the tweet is misleading. The black box had no loss of audio recording. Sensor data stopped being recorded when the power failed, but only for 63 seconds. After that there is 3 minutes of complete data before the collision.
To me, what’s odd is the total power loss. I keep hearing that there are three independent generators. Did they all go out at once? Why? Maybe NTSB will be able to explain it when they get done investigating.
I’m impressed that MDTA received the information and had the bridge closed so fast. It all happened in less than 5 minutes. Lives were saved by quick thinking and action.
But was it really a “hard” right? The river was flowing, and from what I read, it was very windy.
I would be questioning why a terrorist act would include calling for help so that the bridge could be closed as fast as possible, and dropping the anchor.
Here is a piece from World, with how I prefaced it when I shared it on Facebook a little while ago:
~ “Much has been made of the fact that the ship turned a bit before hitting the bridge support. Keep in mind that the water is not stationary, but is flowing, which could account for that. It may also be possible that the dropped anchor caused it to veer a bit.
As for the speeded-up video that is going around, of course looking at it in fast-forward is going to make it look deliberate. Imagine a video of a car on hill, without its parking brake on, slowly rolling down the hill and hitting a parked car. Speed up that video, and it is going to look deliberate.
From the article:
~~~ “Within hours, as people woke up Tuesday morning to the news, the post 9/11 habit of catastrophizing everything began. In a postmodern age where everyone is skeptical of everything and everyone can have their own truth, instead of objective truth, social media influencers began seeding stories that the ship was cyber-hijacked or otherwise intentionally steered into the bridge. When other voices pushed back, those who leapt to catastrophe blamed the government for a loss of credibility.
This is becoming a more common phenomenon in a postmodern age where everyone is online and everyone is taught that every opinion is valid. The reality is that the ship had a malfunction. The Dali, which launched in December of 2014, is not technically set up for a cyber-attack. It simply lacks the systems for someone to remotely hack into the ship to shut it down or steer it. Likewise, if the crew were willfully attempting a terrorist attack, they would not have dropped anchor and signaled a mayday event.
But that did not stop the conspiracies, conjecture, and insistence that those who deny the worst could not be trusted nor could the government. This is an increasingly common form of broken thinking. It presents so often as, “Because we cannot trust the government to be honest with us, we should presume the worst-case scenario.” The problem, of course, is that never before have we presumed to let the government think for us. It is simply not normal for people to jump to the worst-case scenario initially, only backing down upon the presentment of evidence. Even worse with this thinking, accidents leave less evidence than terrorist attacks. Terrorists claim ownership. ISIS took credit for the recent attack at the Russian concert hall. Major cyber-attacks globally have seen the hackers take credit. Not here. This was not a hostile attack.
In postmodernism, people react skeptically to information and show hostility to objectivity. People blame the government, the elite, and the awful response to COVID, but people did this before COVID. COVID just put it on steroids. Instead of taking ownership for castrophizing, people get defensive and try to justify it.” ~~~
If Joe Biden or Barack Obama were the ones advertising that Bible, would you have the same opinion, that he was merely wanting people to get this neat Bible? Or would you think that he was pandering to Christians?
There’s something about this coming during the election season that makes it more of a story than it might have been otherwise.
You know, that 5:53 post sounds more “political” of Trump than of the Democrats, if anything. Three Democratic presidents are scheduled to appear at a Democratic fund-raiser, where of course Trump isn’t invited or interested. So Trump goes to a “good cause” instead, irrelevantly, and somehow it makes the news as a comparison.
In reality, there are funerals for police officers every day. Bowing out of an event you agreed to attend in order to attend a funeral makes sense if the funeral is for a close relative. Bowing out to attend the funeral of a police officer you didn’t know? That doesn’t make sense, actually, unless I’m really missing something.
Nonsense like this tweet is why I hate politics. We can’t simply disagree on issues, but we have to twist things to pretend they mean something they don’t mean. Three Democratic presidents attend a fund-raiser; it’s a no-brainer that the Republican former president is at a different event, and it’s not newsworthy, and certainly not “look how good he is for his different choice” meme-worthy.
Yes, politics is part art and science, and the politicians use whatever to their advantage, especially the media. We can take or leave what the media and the pundits say. We can also ignore other’s opinions about our opinions. Without the media and the internet most of us have no idea what our leaders are doing or what they actually believe. Yet it will all affect us and everyone around us. It may affect us for generations.
Some are called to governance and politics. Most are called to be, at the least, well enough informed to vote, since that is our system of government. There is no king for us to blame.
We each need to decide how much to get involved in politics beyond that. I am much less involved these days than I was in past decades. I do keep informed, however. That is the least I can do as a citizen.
My understanding was that Trump was invited, which would make a difference, IMO.
