Intelligent people know that 155 years after the Civil War ended, those who reside in Trump World are still fighting that battle in their minds. Many of their heroes are the Confederate Generals who were literally traitors to America. But in the 21st Century, both Fox and Trump are ramped up, fighting a new Civil War. This one is RED America versus BLUE America. We cannot blame Trump for creating this national divide, because it was there before he was elected. However, Trump is a president who has done everything in his power to exacerbate the divide and he’s been very successful. Both Trump and Fox are currently operating in War Mode. Trump see himself as the leader of Red America and he’s shown only disdain for everyone except his base.
In the 1930s, Hitler blamed every problem facing the German people on the Jews. In 2020, both Trump and Fox have replaced Jews with their new scapegoat, Liberals. They blame liberals for all the problems America is facing. Yes they hate immigrants and people of color, but liberals are at the top of their enemy list. Read just about any Trump World conspiracy theory and the author will almost always blame liberals for whatever issue they are whining about.
In this battle, Trump and Fox shoulder some of the blame for the rise of White Nationalists groups, many of whom are prepared to use violence. Militant Trump supporters are now going to demonstrations with the intent of injuring and/or shooting protesters. In Wisconsin, one of them murdered 2 protesters and wounded a third individual, using an assault rifle. It’s no secret that both the KKK and Nazis love Donald Trump, but it’s getting worse. The Southern Poverty Law Center conducted a recent study which claims a 55% rise in White Nationalist groups since Trump became President.
Our country is in big trouble and I believe it’s very important that Americans understand this national dynamic, which is dividing and endangering America.

Trump’s Cult members across America are facing a major dilemma. For the past 5 months, Trump told them they should not wear masks and gave them several bogus reasons. As a result, many of his cult members became vehement opponents of mask rules, some of them even became violent. Dr. Fauci received numerous death threats on himself, his wife, and his daughters. Large numbers of his supporters turned this from a safety to a constitutional issue. At Trump’s rallies, they were NOT wearing masks.
But now, their Supreme Leader has reversed himself and directed his base to start wearing masks. Here’s their dilemma.
- Will his cult members say you were wrong the past 5 months and criticize their Supreme Leader? Not likely, is it? I’m LOL.
- Will they disobey their Supreme Leader and say I took a firm position against masks, claiming it’s a constitutional issue, and I’m not changing?
- Or, will his loyal cult members obediently reverse their position on masks and become strong supporters of mask regulations and laws?
This is priceless for the millions of Trump Cult members who are in total denial. What will they do?

Donald Trump had an opportunity to do what normal American presidents do in a national crisis, and that is, bring the country together. The President is in a unique position where he/she can rally our people, get us unified so we can fight a battle against our enemy as one nation. That’s exactly what happened against the Nazis and Japanese in WW II. But true to form, Trump made the Corona Virus a political issue with him at the center. Are you surprised? In his small mind, Trump thought he could handle the crisis by making a series of unsubstantiated claims. In other words, ignore science in an attempt to make himself look good and pretend he had everything under control. But there was just one big problem, the virus wasn’t listening to him.
Remember when Trump made the following brilliant comment?
- The virus is a Democratic Hoax
- The virus is under “Tremendous Control”
- Everything will return to normal by Easter Sunday
- Drink bleach as a preventive measure for Covid-19
- If you get the virus, take hydroxychloroquine.
If the above wasn’t bad enough, Trump compounded the problem by turning Covid-19 into a political issue, as opposed to a national health crisis. Trump, and then his political ally, Fox, manipulated the issue of social distancing and wearing masks. Instead of perceiving them as common-sense techniques to slow down the spread of the deadly virus, Trump and his allies turned them into phony constitutional issues. That’s right, the government has no right to make you wear a mask during pandemic or to prevent large groups of people from getting together. As a result, millions of Americans who reside in the alternate reality of Trump World, defied the advice of scientists and doctors, making the crisis far worse than it needed to be.Trump didn’t stop there.
He sees his number one hope for re-election in the state of our economy. Therefore, instead of closing down major components of the economy as recommended by our health experts from the CDC, Trump encouraged governors to open up their states for normal business. We saw what happened. Instead of the spread of the virus slowing down, it intensified and set records in many states during early July.
Trump’s approval ratings for Covid-19 are horrendous, will Americans remember when election day arrives in November?

60 Minutes went beyond their normal standards of excellence on June 28, 2020. Their report covered two related areas, the role played by trillions of bacteria in our gut and the process of adding probiotics to our food.
First, they talked about the bacteria in your gut and what it does. Most people, including me, thought it merely helps digest food. That’s true, but it does a lot more than merely aiding digestion, including the creation of vitamins, amino acids, and interaction with your immune system. We learned there is no common gut bacteria, that every individual has their own complex set of trillions of bacteria in their guts. I think you should research this fascinating subject because it has immense potential for treating serous health issues in the future. For example, scientists are looking at the possibilities of:
- Transferring bacteria from a thin person to an obese individual
- Transferring bacteria from a healthy person to a sick individual
After establishing the above, they analyzed adding probiotics to a variety of foods, which is very common today. What impact does it have or doesn’t have on your health? Probiotics are a hot commodity, as they are added to a variety of foods, including baby food. 60 Minutes spoke with the leading experts in the field and a research team from Israel. They learned that probiotics are a fascinating area of research, but at this point in time, very little is known about them and/or how they work. They concluded that adding probiotics to food has no known advantages, and it’s possible, it could be somewhat harmful. But nobody has any proof that it helps or hurts in any way because so much about probiotics is still an unknown. More long-term studies are needed. But they do know that any health benefit statements you read on a package are not true. This includes adding probiotics to baby food.
The Israeli study was fascinating because they were trying to ascertain exactly what probiotics, added to food, does when they make it to your gut. Guess what they learned? They couldn’t answer the question one way or the other because they learned that probiotics added to food never makes it to its intended destination in your gut. They thought adding probiotics to your body would have some kind of impact, but they learned it just passes through your system. In sum, it doesn’t have a positive or negative impact, it has no impact. That was fascinating because very often scientists with a pre-conceived outcome miraculously prove what they believed all along. In this case, the results contradicted what they expected to find. However, the scientists still believe there’s tremendous potential in studying the complex world of probiotics and gut bacteria.
There was one other area they briefly talked about and that were the many claims of individuals who believed adding probiotics to their food proved to be beneficial. The scientists attributed that belief to the infamous “Placebo Effect”.
