Mother Jones Magazine

 11.1.2022

Last week, my first paper copy of #MotherJones (Sept/Oct, 2022) arrived. I'm super excited. I've followed David Corn, Mother Jones  Washington, DC, bureau chief, for years. I'm reading his book American Psychosis now, and am even more of a fan of his now. It was what lead me to subscribe.

But Mr. Corn's not the only talented journalist contributing @ Mother Jones. There's several. It's been a while since I was able to read such an incredible compilation of authors, so I don't know if all of these folks are regulars or not. But I hope so. 

FYI: Mother Jones (a.k.a. MoJo) is a progressive American magazine that focuses on news, commentary, and investigative journalism on topics like politics, food, human rights, environment, health and culture. I hype the contributors because I have a great deal of admiration for folks doing the hard work clarifying facts over fiction.

You may have noticed I'm pretty liberal. So goes the life of someone that thinks so much about suffrage and equality. But it's important, at least to many Americans, that we never lose sight of the humanity aspect of problem solving. While myriad issues are hot-button, we all need to hold on to our own ideals with perspective in mind. Do we allow politicians to stop the funding of Social Security? How do we stop the radicals of the right that continue to disrupt the horrors we see today? Or, any politician that obviously follows a playbook of a tyrant?

So let's take a look of some of the names that have assisted in taking us on our country's current ride:

Former president trump & family,
Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, George Papadopoulos, Kayleigh McEnany, Ralph Reed, Stella Immanuel, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Mitch McConnell, Mike Lindell, Mark McCloskey, Tana Goertz, Shelley Luther, Tucker Carlson, Jacob Whol, Laura Loomer, Jack Burkman, Ron DeSantis, Glenn Beck, Mike Pompeo, Kristi Noem, Tom Caldwell, Marco Rubio, Stewart Rhodes, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tim Scott, Rick Scott, Greg Abbott, Ron Johnson,Candace Owens, Frank Gaffney, Kyle Rittenhouse, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Sarah Palin, Lauren Boebert...

These are just a few of the people trying, somewhat successfully, to NOT make our America great. I had not heard of many of these folks, but through association, I can't believe I'd be in agreement with much they stood for. But don't take my word for it. I'm the guy with over 80 "account warnings" on my Tik Tok page. Do your own follow up research. But please hurry. We're a week out, y'all.

Thank you for stopping by.
