How correct you are, John! There was a time when high school students with a yen for wordsmithing were guided to “Time” as a goal. I would not grant even a “C-“ to a student who submitted such a blatantly biased accounting.

Count the times that a form of “autocrat,” “authoritarian,” and “dictator” were used, but never with even a vague reference to that which the writers considered to warrant such designations.

Third graders learn that there are two sides to a story; these journalistic wannabes would do well to cycle back to those basic classes that they missed.

If anyone ever comes to me with a complaint I know to be false, I let them plead their entire case, then show them why their conclusions can’t be accurate. If I fear that I am wrong, I re-examine the material, and, if truly wrong, I apologize and do wh**ever is necessary to make amends and to assuage the injured party. I couldn’t sleep if I did otherwise.

Yet, not one of the millions of Democrats are willing to even try to prove us wrong?

May God help us all.

WHAT SHOULD WE THINK ABOUT THIS INFORMATION??? Don D.

"It is the opposite of Democracy when a secret cabal of wealthy and politically connected elites conspire to manipulate the rules and laws of an e******n in order to win."

Anyone who seriously believes that a diminished and disoriented bumbling China Joe Biden, who almost never left his basemen to campaign,  and for whom there was zero enthusiasm, somehow got 16,000,000 MORE v**es than Barack Obama, is either lying or is in serious need of psychological help.

The failing Times Magazine has tried to make the case that the 2020 e******n was not stolen. 

The article they just published shows the roadmap that was used to secure the e******n f***d; the players, the names, and the organizations that deprived Americans of an honest e******n last Fall.  

When I studied Journalism in college, one of the mandatory classes was "Bias is Media."  We were given articles of all kinds and were challenged by the instructor to locate words, phrases, and even whole paragraphs that lacked objectivity and tried to bias the readertoward a particular point of view that the writer was trying to use to convince the reader.  The Times article can be readhere:  https://time.com/magazine/us/5936018/february-15th-2021-vol-197-no-5-u-s/
It is titled, The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 E******n
In my retrospective opinion, the "shadow campaign," bragged about in the article, was the design for stealing the e******n.

This article is nothing less than journalistic fraud. In reality it is political propaganda, and the fact that Time editors permitted such political tripe to go out under their masthead is a strong indictment against them and any rationale for its continued existence.  So, I pretended that I was 20 years old and investigated this article as though it was one of my class assignments to identify bias in an article.  I must say, back then, the bias (when you could find it), was much more subtle, even debatable - which we did in class.
Nothing like Ms. Ball's article would ever had seen the light of day, back then.  F**e news has a come a long since.

Please read the article to see what I mean....
...and when you do, look for some of the jaundiced phrases that were easily found throughout the article. Here is a an easy-to-identify
compilation I put together. I'm sure you can find others for yourself.

 "President Trump refused to concede""Trump’s attempts to reverse the result:""....oppose Trump’s assault on democracy."".....a remorseless p******c and an autocratically inclinedPresident""....preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories""....false claims of victory""Trump and his allies were running their own campaign tospoil the e******n""His henchmen at the state level sought to block"".....his lawyers brought dozens of spurious suits to make it moredifficult to v**e–an intensification of the GOP’s legacy of suppressive tactics""Trump plotted to block a legitimate v**e count."".....he spent the months following Nov. 3 trying to steal thee******n he’d lost""......finally summoning his army of supporters to the J*** 6 rallythat ended in deadly violence at the Capitol."".....the President himself was trying to disrupt the e******n,""A group of former elected officials was researchingemergency powers they feared Trump might exploit.""It wasn’t hard to find liberals who saw Trump as a dangerousdictator,""Trump has made it clear that this will not be a faire******n"".....he will use the right-wing information system to establishhis narrative and incite his supporters to protest" [Aren’t protests good?

While progressives may gloat about their stranglehold on what most Americans get to see and hear, and the opinions they're influencing, they should be reminded that this, or any other country,  cannot survive without an honest and objective media. In this sense, they are stimulating their own destruction, as well as ours. Their lust for power cannot be slaked any more than the list for liberty that dwells in the hearts of so many, and which was once promised to us by our never-equaled US Constitution.

The rich are rich for a reason.
Some made the right call in the stock market calcutta and made a fortune, but at the same time someone else lost a fortune. Let's call these the gamblers.
Some inherited it. Well if they don't invest and have returns you cannot touch them with an income tax.
Some became rich by producing, they built a better mousetrap, it might have been an invention like a computer or the use of a new technique like Ford with the assembly line, but no matter, they found a way to more efficient use of resources. Let's call them the producers.

The producers should be applauded, they create jobs, they use limited resources better.
Perhaps we would all be better off if we did not burden them with taxes at all, let them run, don't throttle them.
Any tax we placed on them would only be plowed into govt inefficacy, not good. The amount of tax we do not collect from them would be made up by the taxes we would collect from all their job creation.
