DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: Only way to destroy arrival of full-on propaganda is not to beat it, but to make it irrelevant
Ellis123
Like most weeks I have no idea where to begin my column because there is so much going on in the world.I will start by reminding readers this is not a RED vs. BLUE issue anymore.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: 3 lies and a truth in the modern US (political) climate this week
Ellis123
Let’s talk about three lies and a truth this week in the world of politics.I know, there are obviously so many more lies, but managing the onslaught coming at the American people so fast these days is liking dodging cars while running across a busy highway.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: A LOT about the dangers of fear and division prohibiting one’s ability to see
Ellis123
I’m not going to address the Texas flooding too much in my column this week.I am going to say if you are part of the group of people in the United States who are happy people die ANYWHERE in this country if they don’t belong to your political affiliation, my heart goes out to you.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: With the recent 6-3 SCOTUS Executive Order ruling, we see not even nine people can agree on interpreting the Constitution
Ellis123
I googled constitutional limits on executive orders this evening to get an idea of how my column was going to go.The idea was in my head because of the US Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling last week to end district judges’ power to block President Donald Trump’s executive orders nationwide.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: Airstrikes, wars... and does Israel indeed own America?
Ellis123
Before you read my column this week, I want to remind everyone to take a moment and remember to feel gratitude for at least one thing in your life.It helps.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: Apparently oligarchs do not like kings – and they have the money and hired actors to prove it
Ellis123
As I write my column, I’m readying myself to drive up the east coast this weekend.I realize it’s No Kings Rally weekend, and I’m waiting to see what happens.Silly me – at first, I did not even know what “No Kings” meant, then I remembered it is “the Don’s” birthday.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: When did Molotov cocktails, burning buildings, and threatening people’s families equate to peaceful protest – I missed that memo
Ellis123
Has anyone stopped for a hot minute to think about the rioting going on in Los Angeles (www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/08/us/la-immigration-protests-photos-map.html), and I believe Minneapolis had issues there too recently?

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: Pages of details reflect late COVID vaccine warnings possibly did cause the loss of life, now what?
Ellis123
I got sick this week – and I never get sick.My friend said, “Are you sure you don’t have COVID?”He knows the symptoms – he’s had COVID five times.I told him I didn’t have COVID.My friend asked me how I knew I didn’t have COVID – had I tested?Well, no, not really.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: Indeed, government can guard the gate, but only truth and transformation can guard the heart
Ellis123
This week I’m going to localize my column to a Texas incident, even more to the point to the Dallas/Ellis County area.One of the reasons I’m aware of the incident I’m mentioning below is because I work with the city in a Public Information Officer capacity.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: Arrests, human trafficking, Texas lawmakers stealing free speech – when will common sense go viral again?
Ellis123
At least once a day my mind goes to the fact that Planet Earth: The United States Edition is most definitely an embarrassing reality show to entertain a higher form of life.Remember that statement “The inmates are running the asylum?”Of course, I’d never insinuate such a thing here.
