This just in: I’m in Alabama this week. The people are great; really friendly. Politics is never brought up. But, the television here is either a hunting show, a home shopping network, some reality show about swamp-living or some version of Fox News.

This is what is available for consumption. This is what forms their opinion about the world.

I watched one Fox-type show for 30 seconds and this is what I heard, “Let’s face it. Trump had solved every problem with immigration.” Interestingly, I didn’t know this.

Then, on the actual Fox News show I heard, “Bidenomics is a failure.” This is in reference to Biden’s impact on economics. Now I have heard this before but only by Fox News. So, if all you watch is this news channel, you get a constant barrage of “the economy sucks and its all Biden’s fault.”

By the way, there are never any solutions offered up; just observations to complain and blame about. The evidence is cherry-picked. There is always someone willing to say, “I paid twice as much for my milk today as I did yesterday.”

So much anger. It comes from what the “Fox watchers” are being fed. To me, it feels like the entire Republican Party is auditioning for the Jerry Springer show. The more ridiculous the better. They are throwing chairs at each other and then turn to the camera and say, “Biden did that.”

How about we just look at a few facts…take the economy for example:

1. Overall job numbers: – Biden: +14 million – Trump: -2.9 million
2. Overall manufacturing jobs: – Biden: +815,000 – Trump: -154,000

5. Highest unemployment rate of presidency: – Biden: 6.2% – Trump: 14.7%

10. Lowest woman unemployment rate of presidency: – Biden: 3.3% – Trump: 3.4%
11. Highest woman unemployment rate of presidency: – Biden: 6.1% – Trump: 16.2%

18. Highest Nasdaq: – Biden: $16,057.44 – Trump: $13,067.48

And today, the GDP growth from last quarter was 5.2%

Just sayin…

Time to save the world.

Up, up and away…
