Charlatan Wants to Sell You Gold

When you listen to the mega-wealthy ultra-conservative talk show hosts like Larry Elder, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, or Charlie Kirk, or the even richer televangelists like Joel Osteen, you can’t help wondering if any of these people has an ounce of sincerity in his entire body.

Part of what’s bringing down the Trump presidency is his people’s remarkable inability to tell lies that are even remotely credible to the American people. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed beef prices are rising because of immigrants bringing diseased cattle across the border.

A reader asks: So does that mean US truckers need to know French for (Eastern) Canada and Spanish for Mexico?
To answer the question posed here, I wouldn’t judge their intelligence. The human race has plenty of intelligence. Unfortunately, it has plenty of greed and hatred too.
In response to the reader who sent me this, here’s a suggestion: leave us alone. We don’t need some Trump supporter telling us how to live our lives.
