All of the tools now available to research State and Local spending fascinate me. I’ve been investigating rabbit holes since 6:30 am. I need a break!
My eye is now totally healed except for a small bubble the doc put in my eye to hold the repair together. It will dissipate on it’s own and really doesn’t affect my vision.
A small Rabbit Hole preview:
The below wasn’t the focus of my research, just interesting in light of finding out yesterday Politico was merely a paid mouthpiece for the Federal government. How can media be a government watchdog when they risk revenue for actually reporting?
If you want to know how much each of these paid to the Pantagraph, go to OpenTheBooks.com and use Benjamin The Chatbox in the lower right corner. It’s easy.

A true Gordian Knot…….the tangled tentacles of government, bureaucrats, and politicians are beyond comprehension. On a national level I am totally impressed by the team President Trump has brought with him. I takes geniuses like Eldon Musk and his assistants to ferret out the waste and corruption.
Here are some sources that are more trustworthy:
The Guardian (UK)
The Irish Times (Ireland)
RTE (ireland)
The Copenhagen Post (Denmark)
CBC (Canada)
The Globe and Mail (Canada)
NZ Herald (New Zealand)
RNZ (New Zealand)
BBC News (UK)
Sky News UK)
Jason, Aren’t those left or left leaning?
It depends on which direction you are standing:
If I am facing west, then Canada is on the right and New Zealand is on the left….
LOL
BBC got money from USAID
If one doesn’t read several News sources it’s impossible to get a fair picture of what’s happening….. even then I wonder. I read FOX, BBC, Newsweek, Upword News, and NPR. It’s very interesting how, particularly the left, distorts things, usually just by omission of relevant information. For instance they rarely give the race of a perp if they’re not white. Nor do they often give immigration status. Twisted words and omission……
Glad your eye is healing up as planned!
…we all benefit from your eyes on what is happening with our tax dollars.
We are so blessed to have you in our community!
