Are Americans really as uneducated and ignorant as portrayed in the media?

Yes they are.

Meet Pete Hegseth, US Secretary of Defense. During the Senate’s confirmation hearing, one of the Senator asked him about ASEAN, and asked him to named the countries that belong to it, or at least one member of it. And he’s stumped by it. When the Senator grilled him further he finally answered “Japan, South Korea”. And Australia.

As we all know (except poor Mr. Heghseth of course) none of those countries are a member of ASEAN. And Mr. Hegseth is no ordinary guy..he’s a SECRETARY OF DEFENSE !! And he’s an ex JOURNALIST !!


Remember when your mother and grandmother told you you’re judged by the company you keep? The logical extention is we are judged by those we choose to lead us.

Take this scene in Washington this week.

On the right we have a convicted felon who was held liable for sexual assault. This happens to be the President of the United States. One of his first official acts was to release violent rioters who assaulted Capitol Police officers.

On the left is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He has been under indictment for bribery and fraud since 2020. His negligence was a major factor in the poor Israeli response to the Hamas attack on October 7th 2023.

Our President took this opportunity to announce that we are taking over Gaza in order to build seaside hotels, casinos and golf courses. He would be happy to send our troops into Hamas Hell for this money making opportunity.

If this is what you voted for, uneducated and ignorant barely scratch the surface.

There is something wrong…..something terribly wrong. I never thought I would say this, but it may be too late.
