▪️Now, imagine this book was included in a school’s curriculum or on a recommended school reading list, would the newly anointed defenders of all books be ok with it? Of course not, they’d never let it in anywhere near their school library.
▪️Which shows the hypocrisy of the “all books should be in the library” position. No one actually believes this. There will always be debate over what is appropriate or best for school libraries, which is fine. It’s not a first amendment issue, provided the government doesn’t ban the sale books for adults.
▪️As for this book, it’s not affiliated with the Trump campaign. The reason why it was “apparently being given out at Trump rallies” is because the author himself was giving them out. A guy with less than 2,000 FB & <200 Twitter followers, who gets very little traction on social media.

▪️The book has just 1.8 stars on Amazon (3 5⭐️ reviews and 29 1⭐️ ). Which is slightly better than Muller’s last book, The Five Gods of the Bible which received just 1 star.

It’s funny to see the left use the same conspiratorial rhetoric as the right did a year ago regarding the jobs numbers being downwardly revised. So many on the right, who knew nothing of how the jobs numbers are calculated or why they revise them, were convinced the downward revisions were a conspiracy to help Biden win.
If people want to have a debate about the birth death model or the survey methods, ok, but that’s not what’s happening here. Most people are under the delusion that the BLS report is the govt reporting every job created and lost, and are thus easily swayed it’s rigged when it suits their political ends.
This is almost laughingly misleading, as it leaves out everything before the letter.
▪️After being repeatedly lampooned by the Smothers Brothers over Vietnam, Johnson finally had enough. One night at 3 am he called the head of CBS William Paley, demanding that he “get those bastards off my back.”
▪️Paley then asked the heads of CBS entertainment to get them to back off of LBJ. However, instead of backing off the Smothers Brothers doubled down, booking a folk musician performing “Waist Deep,” an anti-war song about a soldier being stuck in the mud while “the big fool says to push on,” clearly a dig at LBJ.
▪️At the last minute, CBS cut the song from the pre-taped show to the outrage of the Smothers. They continued to push the boundaries off and on for the rest of his presidency, with CBS sometimes cutting segments that they thought went too far. Basically, it was a soft form of censorship.
▪️It wasn’t until Johnson made his surprise announcement not to run in 1968 ...
