Think About It


  • Do all boards of directors for all public companies have written policies and procedures regarding the mental health and well-being of the CEO? 

  • Did the calls to impeach Trump due to mental illness, immediately after his election, change the discussion as to what is acceptable and unacceptable?

  • Is there a Deep-State that is running some or much of the government? 

  • Is there a deep-state that resists a new CEO of an established corporation?

  • Define the term "robocall" and could the definition be stretched to in a way where a regulatory authority can be used to interfere in trade by one powerful company over a less powerful company?

  • Why is YouTube getting involved in China's political activities?

  • Where will YouTube draw the line in the United States?

  • Who exactly draws the lines?

  • Will Facebook's cryptocurrency extend its control over a growing segment of the world's population?

  • What is radical?

  • What is a freedom fighter?

  • What is normal?

  • Are there true journalistic standards, and if so, can they be stated in one sentence with less than 20 words?


Report the news without bias, opinion, or outside influence.


Don't hold your breath for that one to ever be true.  And, we did it in 9 words.
