None of it sounds familiar.

Hannity is the only one of those I listen to at all and I haven't been listening to him lately, or the other talk show guys either for some reason. Needed a break from the political wars I guess.

Turns out what I'd heard was about a settlement with Paula Jones, and something about Juanita Broddrick.

I haven't listened to Alex Jones in a long time. I liked David Knight who was a commentator there but then he had a heart attack and I keep forgetting to see if he's back.

I didn't start listening to conservative radio until the Midterm elections last Fall.

I agree that we can't just assume all the accusations are trustworthy in the absence of serious investigation into them. There really are women who are out to get men even if most stories of abuse are probably true. But there's no way to know if they're true just from an accusation, and especially when they are coming out in a political context.

Mark Levin has been pointing this out, that the US isn't doing anything to express solidarity with the freedom fighters of Hong Kong when normally we would. Why isn't Trump speaking out for them? Why aren't others in the government doing so? Shouldn't there be a government resolution of some kind to declare our support? Why the silence? What can the rest of us do? Write our representatives I guess. Write Trump. If we don't stand behind them they are just going to be mowed down by the Chinese government whose illegal action is what prompted the protests in the first place. They may be mowed down anyway but it shouldn't be for lack of support from the rest of the world and particularly from the US.

I just emailed Trump asking him to speak out for the protestors in Hong Kong. The address is whitehouse.gov/contact if anyone else would like to join the cause.

Fine. How about starting with an email to Trump and your representatives in Congress asking them to make some kind of loud and clear statement of support for them. THEN invite them here.

He's got his priorities out of whack, but that doesn't mean we need to. We need to set a fire under him and under Congress and whatever else we can do. And let me add I think it's just from being preoccupied with his own strategies for dealing with China, not fully grasping the situation in Hong Kong and not from any lack of concern for them.

In my opinion Trump is preoccupied with his trade dealings with China and isn't giving the Hong Kong situation enough attention. One thing Trump is not is spineless, he's just focused on his way of dealing with things and to my mind neglecting something that's more important right now. He isn't totally neglecting it but he's got his own style of dealing with tyrants which in this case can be overlooking something that is crucially important.
As I see it anyway. Those people love America, they love us, they wave our flag and sing our anthem. Their freedoms are being threatened by the Chinese government. My position is simple: I don't want them to feel we aren't listening and don't care, I want them to feel that we are with them, that we share their love of freedom and don't want to see them lose it. We should have protestors out in the streets supporting them. Our students should be out waving our flag in support of them. Hong Kong needs to hear us, Beijing needs to hear us. We are being too silent. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

I disagree but I'm not going to fight that one with you right now.

He may think the trade deal is more important, and doesn't understand the importance of the Hong Kong situation. I wouldn't want to trivialize the trade deal, it's the way he works, and some of that has to do with buttering up tyrants, and he probably thinks it could soften the guy up toward Hong Kong. But I'm for doing whatever WE can to put pressure on him and on Congress at least to make a strong statement. Again, I don't want the protestors to think they are alone in their concerns.
There are no human rights abuses at our border according to many who have visited there to find out. Edited by Faith, : No reason given. Edited by Faith, : No reason given. Edited by Faith, : No reason given. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

It might be good for them and us if they put their minds to such a good cause and got distracted for a while from destroying the country.
