On 10-11-23, the Washington Post penned an article that, "Zelensky visits NATO headquarters for allied meeting to support Ukraine", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus: 

Russia and Hamas have in common that both attack civilian targets for the reason of creating chaos and harm to the moral of the military they have not the fortitude to face. This is a criminal act that demands much more response from the united world's governments than feeding a materials pipeline.

But of course, the leaders of those united countries are mostly dependent on the endorsement of those they govern to occupy the office, not totalitarian control which enjoys the capacity to eliminate those who don't endorse them.

And we, the non-combatants become the victims of a war we had no voice in creating. While those who manufacture weapons of war endure. Sad.

    On 10-9-23, the Washington Post penned the article: "Nobel Prize in economics awarded to Claudia Goldin for work on women in the workplace", and on the date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

Thanks to the Nobel Prize committee for their continuing recognition of advances and accomplishments by women in the cultural, societal and science fields of our world's community.

Now, if only the governing bodies of that world community would also begin to recognize those same successful contributions by women in politics instead of treating that entity with the continuing failures of male dominance...!?!?

    On 10-7-23, the Washington Post penned the article: "Largest ‘ghost guns’ parts maker agrees to stop selling in California", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

From 1998 to late in 2021, gun purchases in this country totaled 411.6 million weapons being sold. Folks, that's approximately 20% more guns than our total population of the country!

That also equates to 46% of civilian guns in the world being owned by members of our country while the US population is only 4.25% of the world's population!

And Polymer80 is a small part of the problem. According to the US Agency that licenses gun dealerships, there are 3.36 more-gun dealerships in this country than there are McDonald food outlets.

While the National Rifle Association, founded on the principals of responsible gun ownership and safe use continue to shrug at the mention of our rising rates of deaths by firearms, and shudder at every legislative attempt to control the sale and use of weapons designed to kill humans, not hunt game.

   On 10-2-23, the Washington Post penned an Opinion by Jennifer Rubin that | Senate Democrats must enact rules changes. Comity is long gone, and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

Anyone who saw the performance of Speaker McCarthy on Face The Nation last Sunday was treated to the most obnoxious display of childish behavior you can attribute to the current GOP political tactics. Yet, there was little or no media analysis that punishes what has become their norm. Talk loud, talk fast, and never let yourself be interrupted for an accountability of what you're saying.

If the question is raised later, continue deflecting with more examples of blame to disguise your need to justify those deflecting remarks. It's as if the GOP has refused to be held accountable for anything.

I see it and am damned tired of hearing it. And frankly I'm getting really upset with the way the GOP shows utter disrespect for the media's responsibility to question anyone in power.

   On 9-28-23, the Washington Post penned that, "The small group of House Republicans who might force a government shutdown" and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

I can't begin to tell you how unprofessional and immature the loud-mouthed obstructionists of the Republican party have become. We don't need term limits; we need a national referendum that tells a current crop of politicians about our loss of confidence in their abilities to govern.

    On 9-27-23, the Washington Post penned an article that: "Sen. Menendez pleads not guilty to federal bribery charges", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

And today's top story...

Is it about Senator Mendacious, or House Speaker Mendacious, or Supreme Court Justic Mendacious, or Former President Mendacious?

And just when is the media going become truthfully objective instead of hiding behind neutral?

    On 9-24-23, the Washington Post penned an Analysis | "Fox News viewers love Trump. Newsmax viewers idolize him", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

Or, as was said by Mark Twain, "It's easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled."

   On 9-23-23, the Washington Post penned, "Justice Clarence Thomas reportedly attended Koch network donor events", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

These exclusively Republican nominated and confirmed Supreme Court jurists have caused our entire system of justice to now be on international display, and it is sordid. And the Republican party leadership seems impotent for effecting a change. Afterall, they were voted the right of governance, not to merely shrug.

   On 9-11-23, the Washington Post penned "Trump advisers plot aggressive new tax cuts for second White House term" and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

I tire of the Republican's radical right that swings carrots on sticks rather than showing stewardship on governance. They are ill-prepared and quietly harbor an agenda of revengeful design. Well, not in my house!

    On 9-10-23, the Washington Post penned an article, "He was Mormon royalty. Now his lawsuit against the church is a rallying cry", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

Of course religious organizations solicit and store huge amounts of tax-exempt donor money. They're just another form of an active political party trying to curry favor for dominance.

And just like political affiliation, take the pledge, pass the bucks, and favor a dislike for the competition so you can vote your conscience.
