Dear Editor:
I call your attention to the following Jan. 6, 2019, article by AWR Hawkins: Golden Globes: “Anti-Gun Hollywood Surrounded By Security Walls and Armed Guards” (https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/01/06/golden-globes-anti-gun-hollywood-surrounded-by-security-walls-and-armed-guards/).
Trump wants to spend 1/10th of 1 percent of our nation’s budget to protect us while our leftist liberal Democrat house so-called leaders won’t hear of it. I wonder what percent of the Golden Globes budget was spent on security for the elite leftist celebrities so they can be safe? I would bet it’s more than 1/10th of 1 percent of their budget! To put it in context that we “basket of deplorables,” as labeled by Hillary Clinton, can understand; let’s say the Golden Globes budget was $1,000,000 then 0.1 percent of that would be $1,000 for a their wall. Even non-deplorable liberals should be able to understand how ridiculous that is!
I know elite celebrities and liberal politicians are convinced they are indispensable because they are working hard to make our lives better and happier. Hogwash! It’s all about protecting their money and their careers! They think everyone should know their lives are much more important than ours since we’re just the unwashed masses!
The real culprit here is the media. It’s their choice to publicize whatever they feel is important. By their efforts to discredit Trump and/or misrepresent any and all of his accomplishments and attempts to protect us and improve our opportunities in life is destroying our access to any truthful news sources. How about the walls around the properties of Barrack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein and Maxine Waters? Every one of those walls cost more than 1/10th of 1 percent and probably more like 10 percent of their annual income. Why does the press seem to ignore the hypocrisy of these liberal Democrat politicians who a few years ago promoted the building of a wall on our southern border.
Until we citizens have access to complete objective and truthful news in order to make good decisions as to who is really trying to protect us and make our lives better, then these lying hypocrite politicians will continue to be able to hornswoggle us into voting for and keeping in office!
