WAR ON FREE PRESS?

While reflecting on the complex and dynamic nature of the United States—how our strength relies on diversity and individualism, but also how this can sometimes lead to fragmentation. There's an undeniable tension in the idea that the country’s chaotic blend of perspectives, identities, and values could either be its downfall or its greatest asset. Diversity, while often challenging to manage, creates a kind of unpredictability that makes it tough to control or dominate the American spirit.

The idea that America is "uncontrollable" is powerful. It speaks to the inherent resilience and independence documented throughout the nation’s history. From the Revolution to civil rights movements and beyond, Americans have often defied authority or resisted conformity. It’s not always smooth or even peaceful, but it’s a persistent force.

The struggle for cohesion can be both a weakness and a strength. The fact that so many people, ideologies, and cultures coexist here creates a nation that's perpetually evolving, and often innovating. A fool who thinks they can control US might be in for a rude awakening.

What are your thoughts on how this mix of strengths and challenges plays out in current times?

Digital news and information #RSS content data is used, read, and transferred by computers, networks, and other machines.

It is represented as a string of symbols, such as letters or digits, that can take on a finite number of values. 

Digital information is created by converting information into binary code, a language that uses only the numbers 0 and 1 to represent the on and off states of a transistor. 

Computers and other devices use binary code to process words, images, sounds, and other types of information.

My moving memories of South Florida when streets were vibrant and full of clubs, hotels, assorted stores, head shops, and street life.

Florida Pop Festivals in the late 60s were touted as the first significant music festivals in the new Sex, Drugs, and Rock'n Roll long with Peace and Love cultural lifestyle.

I was there because I decided to leave my Northeastern lifestyle after attending grammar and high school there to seek higher education and a new beginning at the University of Miami and Florida International University, where I earned my BFA.

REAL NEWS

Whatever liar, cheat, fraud, twice impeached, voted out of office, and convicted felon #DonOld says is usually fake news.

Real News is about the exception. It is not about the dozens of airplanes that successfully took off and landed safely. News is also not Views. It is verified and sourced current events. This may be provided through many different media: word of mouth, printing, mail, broadcasting, electronic communication, or through the testimony of witnesses to events.
