On 9-13-24, the Washington Post penned an article that Secretary of State: "Blinken says Russian state media outlet runs intelligence operations", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

The Russians are pretty good at not spending money foolishly. Chances are they're intelligence efforts are best served by just making sure the bills are paid for ensuring operations of our own conservative media networks.

After all, who does a better job of spinning fake news and creating social divisiveness and supporting chaos than unregulated Fox News, Newsmax, Breibart, or Gateway Pundit, right?

      On 9-13-24, the Washington Post penned an article that: "Tech giants fight a plan to make them pay more for electric grid upgrades", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

Well, here's still another good reason to keep those conservative Republicans away from the people's house in Washington, D.C.  Way too many judicial and legislative actions of late favor big business who only want to create profit to buy back stock, or buy out competition, or pay for reelection of their legislative stooges.

      On 9-13-24, the Washington Post penned an Opinion that: "Fox News cleans up another Trump mess", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

And there you have it folks. The Justice Department is concerned with the efforts of countries, (who don't like us), making efforts to unfairly influence our Presidential election when the overwhelming efforts by our own conservative unregulated media sources are doing it for them. They've taken Fact Checking to a new unregulated height of absurdity.

Or are those unregulated sources actually in bed with outside sources?

      On 9-12-24, the Washington Post penned an article that: "Georgia judge dismisses two more charges against Trump in election case", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus: 

It appears the dismissed charges are based on solid argument that they do not belong in Georgia's state courts, so be it. What remains though are charges that make a solid argument that Trump and his co-defendants committed gross acts against the election rights for the State of Georgia. So, let's get that taken care of within due course. After all, it contributes to Trump's next book, "The Art of Corrupting Justice!"

      On 9-7-24, the Washington Post penned an article that: "Mother of Georgia suspect is said to have called school before shooting, warning of ‘emergency’", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

How do you as a school official or a law enforcement officer risk your reputation or humanitarian respect for the inherent rights of others when they are described by adults, (even parents), over a phone as offering verbal threats or exhibiting aberrant behavior they've heard or seen but you have not?

How do you, after the fact, respond to questions from a source wanting explanation you know would put the answers in the public domain with a spin you'd have no control over? Or, put out summaries of evidence that the very release may offer grounds jeopardizing the outcome of a trial to obtain control over further incident?

We're a society that demands our curiosity and lust to know more than others must be satisfied. And willing to make up a lot to appear knowledgeable. You can read it between the lines of comments made here.

But the fact remains, no amount of preventive action works better than having a lot less lethal weapons and a lot less accessibility to putting them in the wrong hands. A fact that the politically unmotivated can't abide.

      On 9-5-24, the Washington Post penned an article that: Trump lawyers spar with judge over pace of D.C. election interference case", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

So again, the point left unsaid here is, if Trump has exculpatory evidence, why not get to trial and prove his innocence.

No, this stalling is because Trump has no evidence of innocence and can only be saved from still more felony convictions by becoming the Emperor of America and pardon himself. You know, like those Kings, or Chairman, or Ayatollahs of the totalitarian countries that Trump's so enamored with would do for themselves.

      On 9-4-24, the Washington Post penned an article that: "A school cop admitted to sexually abusing two students. He got probation.", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

And still another sports "jock", spoiled by the collegiate system of fan entertainment with a business plan to use their talent without any attempt to refine their values. Then turned loose on society with their career-based, hero-deemed personas of I can do whatever I want to do.

      On 8-29-24, the Washington Post penned an Opinion that: "Harris is freaking Trump out by shrugging him off", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

But she, (Vice-President Harris) insisted in the article: “Listen, I am running because I believe that I am the best person to do this job at this moment for all Americans, regardless of race and gender.”

That's not a campaign brag, her successful experience, intellect, reason and judgement have been truthfully put forth. While Trump, (a former President who was kicked out of office by an overwhelming vote), continues to cast stones, blusters and brag and continues to avoid transparency for his qualifications because they show his lack of experience, intellect, reason and judgement. 

Even one of Trump's college professors' calls him "...the dumbest damned student I've ever had."

    On 8-24-24, the Washington Post penned a Column for: "There’s a reason Adam Kinzinger defended Democrats’ patriotism", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

Loving a country is not about being a member of a political party or supporting a governing body. It's showing a faith for being a member of the community of family, friends and neighbors by giving them respect, support and doing those things necessary for the communities' safety, security, beautification, and financial support.

Many of our world's countries have experienced large numbers of displaced people, called immigrants. Why? Because the governments of their countries of birth or occupation have imploded on the rights or privileges of their citizens to maintain their standards of community.

Those rouge governments have claimed the powers and resources of the country for their own use and benefit. And have created a police state of selfishness and control from being accountable for their actions. And if you don't think that doesn't describe the political actions of the radical MAGAs operating under the Republican flag, think again. If you're still not sure, maybe you need to read and study "Project 2025". It's about forsaking the justice and dignity of our Constitutional government.

     On 8-29-24, the Washington Post penned an Opinion: " A new indictment points to Trump’s illegal acts — and justices’ errors", and on the date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

If the Supreme Court is putting the office of President in some type of Imperial status with a given right to rule with impunity, consider this.

George Washington was a delegate that signed the states approved Constitution of the United States. The Constitution was then used as the vehicle to elect Washington its first President of those Constituted United States.

Yet Washington felt his election was a directed mandate of his role in gaining our independence from the United Kingdom and warned that he was not comfortable with the governing power those who elected him assumed he would use. Recall that his election was composed of white male landowners, (there are no records of votes in that election attributed to all those granted citizenship by the Constitution).

Washington was convinced his Presidential role was to act as the Public Servant and administer a government that served the interests of those it governed. For our present occupants who occupy those hallowed positions of our ultimate court of appeal for governmental operations to think Presidential power needs unlimited abilities to act flies in the face of our basic governmental premise, "We the People." And that also speaks to those elected representatives who occupy the "People's House" of governmental responsibility.
