FACT or FALSEHOOD???

[Although unlikely to be published, the following commentary, including therein referenced Internet Link, was sent to our local newspaper the Parsons Sun on 06/03/2025 as a Public Mind Opinion submission.]

Not only does today’s increasingly complex World swamp us with information overload, but also with the often-daunting challenges of sorting fact from innocent/intentional falsehood. As, most unfortunately, very concerning numbers of individuals and groups often seem not only unwilling to responsibly seek and accept truth, but are also ever so inclined to let falsehoods influence their behavior.

On a related and a bit closer-to-home note, reportedly there are some 725 cities in the state of Kansas, and relatively little time and effort can be entailed, for example, in Internet/other searches that show our city of Parsons to be “high among” our state’s most crime-ridden cities. And at least one widely circulated social media posted video shows Parsons to be “second only” to Wichita as the most dangerous (i.e., crime-ridden) place to live in Kansas.

Now whether our city of Parsons truly ranks second, third, fourth, etc., of course rests with the nature and integrity of statistics involved. Nevertheless, much more worthy of note, if not of very troubling concern, is the fact that Parsons is being included among any nature of reporting of our state’s “Most Crime-Ridden Cities”!

CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) is now “International” in scope!

  
I am among those who have long thought (misunderstood) CPAC to be basically a “United States” activity. However, thanks to a recent awareness-update by my Son, I now realize that CPAC is actually now “International” in scope!

That is, over the past eight years or so, CPAC has extended its reach to countries around the world. As CPAC USA now partners yearly with likeminded groups to host conference in countries such as Japan, Australia, Hungary, Brazil, Israel, Korea and Mexico, etc. “International Conferences” helping conservatives all over the globe to unify, via a shared goal of bringing a voice to those who love and respect freedom.

An “international in scope” CPAC attested to by way of a growing number of recorded speeches and other very meaningful information available through YouTube and other sources . . . such as, but not limited to, the below-inserted links to a couple of much recommended viewings.

Hence, it seems, and ever-so-encouraging so, that President Trump’s led pushback in America against open/uncontrolled borders and other radical-left insanity is rapidly catching on elsewhere . . . by those yet having the presence of mind to responsibly recognize, confront, and defeat existential threats to individual liberty and humankind’s ultimate survival. —William James Moore 06/07/2025.

“Essential” vs “Nice to have”?

Distinguishing between the “Essential” and the “Nice to have” is no doubt among the many special challenges of all levels of government.  A most demanding responsibility clearly warranting even extra-special consideration when entailing expenditure of ever-so-limited and widely-in-demand local, state, and federal tax dollars.

On a related note, the Tuesday, April 1, 2025 Edition of our local newspaper, the Parsons Sun, included a front-page article titled, “Board questions attorney trip to Hawaii,” followed by likewise related reporting in the Sun’s Friday, April 4, 2025 Edition, titled, “County attorney explains upcoming training in Hawaii.” Both regarding Labette County Kansas Commission’s questioning of planned training in Honolulu, Hawaii for Labette County Attorney Mandy Johnson and two of her staff members. Training reportedly focusing on “Preventing, Assessing and Treating Trauma Across the Lifespan,” and entailing some $7,990 ($2,290 for training costs; around $3,200 for lodging, and around $2,500 for plane tickets).

As was noted in the Sun’s April 1 reporting, “Commissioners want department heads, elected or not, to notify them of out-of-state travel to get commission’s blessing, the County Attorney hadn’t done this.” None the less the “Commissioners approved the $2,200 expense for the flight tickets to Hawaii,” and “Mandy Johnson was not at the county commission meeting and said by email that she would answer the Sun’s questions about the issue later this week.” Hence, the Sun’s April 4 reporting entailing County Attorney Johnson’s promised follow-up.

And after consideration of available information thus far publicly shared by the Labette County Commission and County Attorney, I am among the likely many other taxpayers holding the view that, as opposed to Hawaii, California, etc., State of Kansas Institutions should be a suitable source for “truly essential” training in support of “truly essential” duties and responsibilities of our Labette County Attorney and Staff, as well as that of other functional areas within Labette County government. And that any exceptions to use of State of Kansas Institutions for training of Labette County government functions should require full in-advance concurrence of the County Commission.   —William James Moore    Parsons, KS   04/08/2025.

"PERCEPTION" VS ACTUAL "TRUTH/REALITY"

On November 05, 2024 President Trump was reportedly elected by way of an overwhelming majority of both U.S. Constitution-established “Electoral College Votes” as well as by Popular-Vote majority. Evidencing a voter-mandate not only for his Presidential leadership, but also for his very public and nation-wide campaign-promised “America-First/Make America Great Again (MAGA)” Agenda.

I am among the grateful millions who consider the above-stated to not only be an example of “Truth/Reality” . . . but also a golden and not to be waisted unique-opportunity to not only save our precious Liberty and Freedom enabling Republic, but also in many profound ways help make a better World overall. While many others consider such to be the onset of a dark age, etc., etc., etc.

Yes, it would seem that from the beginning of time there has been the World that “actually exists” (i.e., actual “Truth/Reality”) . . . and then there’s the World that we each as individuals and groups “perceive” to be.

All while efforts to make a better World have long encountered many obstacles. None the least the too often failure to responsibly grasp that:

(1.) we do not all “perceive” the World (i.e., our physical environment, other human beings, ourselves, etc.) the same way;

(2.) our individual and group “perceptions” of everything seen, heard, written, read, etc., don’t necessarily correspond to the actually existing “reality/truth”; and

(3.) our respective “perceptions” do nevertheless constitute what is to us “reality/truth” . . . that is, until something moves us to “perceive” otherwise!

Hence the ever-important need for not only appropriate tolerance of other views, but also commonsense response to threats to survival . . . especially given humankind’s ages-old struggle between “good and evil.”

NOT ONLY TERRIBLY SAD . . . BUT ALSO VERY EMBARRASING & MOST ALARMING!

It is by far not a revelation, nor does it rank as a newsflash, that wildfires are a serious threat in many places. None the least, California, where the threat is not only serious but also constant, especially during the dry Santa Ana wind season. Where such winds, combined with high temperatures and dry vegetation, create the perfect storm for flames to spread quickly. “Long Known” and “Historically Proven” Conditions . . . existing for many thousands of years!

And yet, in the so-called most powerful country on Earth, the source of truly mind-boggling technological achievements, etc., etc., etc., . . . California continues to suffer death and destruction from uncontrolled/out-of-control wildfires!

Yes, the same California that continues to dedicate untold tax dollars and other resources to creating a sanctuary for illegal aliens, and for an array of save the Planet Earth and endangered fish endeavors, etc., . . . while the state repeatedly suffers death and destruction from uncontrolled/out-of-control wildfires!

Yes, in the same America that dedicates untold tax dollars and other resources to aid many other countries around the globe in their respective struggles against threats of nature and human sources . . . as, for example, California repeatedly suffers death and destruction from uncontrolled/out-of-control wildfires!

Which leads some among us to ponder that there seems to so-to-speak really be something drastically wrong with this picture! As various foes of our country are in turn possibly thinking that a few “kitchen matches” may be all they actually need in their conquer/destroy America arsenal . . . that is, in lieu of all that costly and complicated weaponry they have to date struggled and sacrificed to develop and maintain!

On the other hand, it just might be that California’s wildfire threat, and other challenges, will one day soon be solved by obviously tried-and-proven folks like their Governor Gavin Newson, U.S. Senator Adam Schiff, U.S. Representative, Nancy Pelosi, and Los Angeles Mayor, Karen Bass, etc. Along with a duly expedited California effort to ensure that all positions of power and responsibility within the state are unfailingly filled with folks selected strictly on the basis of DEI criteria. As in turn those demonstrating commonsense, relevant qualifications, verified ability, essential performance, etc., are swiftly purged, silenced, and duly scorned.

Super Bowl 2025 — "Recommended Use of Profits Therefrom"

As recently reported via various media, Super Bowl 2025, “the biggest game of the year,” will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana on February 9, 2025.

And as an aid to the ownership and players of the two ultimately competing teams regarding what to do with their respective profits therefrom, here’s a most sincere and otherwise serious recommendation . . . “appropriately distribute one-half thereof to the victims of the horrific terror attack carried out in New Orleans on January 01, 2025 (i.e., to those injured and families of those killed).”

In turn, place the remaining one-half of such profits in an appropriately managed interest-earning trust to support appropriate aid to future victims of subsequent terror attacks on U.S. soil.  For, most sadly, history attests that such a need will ever so likely again materialize.   As the consequence of indisputably “the longest lasting battle on Earth” . . . that of course being the often unspeakably painful and otherwise reprehensibly costly ages-old struggle between the human-staffed teams of “Good” and “Evil.”

"JANUARY 20, 2025" CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH!!!

Most unfortunately---not only for America but also for much of our ever-so-troubled and awesomely challenged World---"President-Elect Trump" and his "Save-America/America-First/Make-America-Great-Again (MAGA) agenda" do not occupy the people's White House until January 20, 2025!!!

In the meantime, the last-day’s agenda of the so-called Biden Administration has prioritized an aggressive handing out of a long listing of "Presidential Medal of Freedom Awards" and "Presidential Pardons"!

Oh yes, "Presidential Pardons" that of course include his son, Hunter, and once prestigious "Presidential Medal of Freedom Awards" that of course now even include “Epitomes of Evil” recipients such as George Soros and Hillary Clinton, and “Otherwise Despicables” such as RINO Liz Cheney, etc.!!!

Yes, it was not enough to spend the past four years flooding our country with millions upon millions of Illegal Aliens; enabling horrific wars and terrorism via failed and irresponsible Biden Administration policies; unleashing Federal Government powers in unrelenting efforts to destroy “all things Trump”; crippling our U.S. economy; spewing hate, discontent, and division nationwide while indoctrinating our nation’s youth with anti-America propaganda; etc.; etc.; etc.!!!

Oh yes, the Communist/Marxist-infested Puppet Masters of so-called Biden Administration have in turn chosen to use---at taxpayers expense---the crucial timeframe between 11/05/2024 and 01/20/2025 to road-block President-elect Trump’s MAGA agenda, as they blatantly wave their middle finger and proceed to, as the saying goes, “Burn-It-Down” on their way out . . . with no consequences for their crimes and otherwise reprehensible behavior!!!

Oh yes!!! . . . the exit of Joe, the Biden Crime Family’s “Big Guy,” along with his power-lusting Puppet Masters, and arrival of "MAGA" President Trump on January 20, 2025, cannot come soon enough!!!
