Sammy,

Don't call me "honey."

You must really love the Reckoning. You sure are spending your day dedicating your valuable time to us.

As Fleetwood Mac famously sang, "Go Your Own Way."

I will drop your book in the mail tomorrow so you can take a break from your keyboard. My fault. I own it. You have no idea who I am, by the way.

Why do you bother, Sammy, to keep commenting when you have unsubscribed from the Reckoning? If you dislike us so much, go troll elsewhere.

THIS! This right here. This is just one of the reasons why I subscribed and will continue to do so as my fun money allows. Your Reckoning truth is refreshing. Arkansas needs you. Sad for those here that don't realize it.

Wish I could afford the paid subscription. Bidenomics has screwed me and all the other senior citizens in this country. I love your news. Stay strong and tell those haters to go screw themselves! Your newsletter has provided me with more local news than any other news group. God bless and keep those Arkansas principles!

You know you can try to trivialize us and talk about mashed potatoes and gravy and all that other bullshit and Canadian lumber.… But when you start saying yay Hitler yay I love the guy who’s trying to bring down the country yay I love the criminal yay I love the sexiest homophobic racist piece of shit then honey you ain’t talking about mashed potatoes and gravy anymore.

So I don’t give a damn what you call me or what you are living in hate or whatever I live in the real world and I don’t praise in anyway people with that sort of track record.

I’m kind of glad you showed me and all of us who you are. You don’t have to show me again we heard you the first time that’s it that’s enough adios

You're proving the effectiveness of main stream media propaganda. Love you Sammy. You seem really lonely and angry.

I also believe in freedom of speech, and interpret it as John Stuart Mill did, in On Liberty. It is a marketplace of ideas. If one’s idea, expressed as speech, resonates with enough people it will be adopted by your marketplace as a good or persuasive idea. If not, the marketplace won’t agree it has enough value and it will be rejected —- no idea captures or loses 100% of the market. Some believe tax cuts for the wealthy fuel economic growth, some do not. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Adopting this to the POTUS choices, some vociferously approve of the 2025 platform, while I vociferously disagree. The marketplace functions because these two divergent opinions will have proponents who use arguments, not 🔥🔥arguments but 💬arguments to persuade enough others their argument will be predominant. It finds its purest distillation in electoral politics. It is well to note that there are other factors in electoral politics such as the electoral college. Some like it, some don’t, but it’s existence is a factor in federal election outcomes.

Might as well finish cleaning out the clutter……

Suzi offer her book twice. I replied kindly requesting.

Twice.

Never got the book.

Just as well.

You have already shown me who you are. I got it.

Wow. Well, you really told me.

I enjoy how only simple thoughts make you proud.

Not lonely. ALONE by choice and joy.

Angry? Yep. But not from folks such as you and these writers. I worry and get pissed about grown up stuff. Have someone explain that to you.

How are you tracking my simple thoughts?

When I grow up am I supposed to solve complicated problems by ranting hyperbolic rhetoric from Rachel Maddow in a comments section?
