White House rejects promoting general involved in Capitol riot response said the Washington Post, and on 10-29-22, the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

Whichever way your political winds blow, eh General? Who says politicians are the only cadre practicing crass behavior in government?

You wonder the reaction that may have resulted had Speaker Pelosi been a white male of southern ancestry.

The Washington Post reports on the latest rise in mortgage rates to 7% and on the date of 10-27-22, the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

Recall that real estate market pricing is an entirely arbitrary act by a totally unregulated industry. And the national association of real estate agents is one of the largest contributors of lobbying funds to Republican party interests to keep it that way.

Just thought you'd like to know where the impact on our country's economic insecurity really originates. Like the insignificant interest rates the banking industry puts on passbook and checking account balances. You're welcome.

 Judge dismisses GOP-led states lawsuit to block student loan forgiveness plan wrote the Washington Post and on 10-20-22, the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

"Republicans claim it's not right for taxpayers to foot the bill for debt the students knowingly gave themselves. What about the Savings & Loan bailout? What about the big bank's bailout? What about the auto industry bailout? What about farm subsidies paying farmers not to grow? What about...?"

 Suspect in custody after five killed, including off-duty officer, in North Carolina shooting reported by the Washington Post, and on 10-14-22, the Enlightened Prisoner commented thus:

The inability of the National Rifle Association (NRA) to acknowledge the problems associated with an overabundance of retail sold weapons and, ignoring their original intent for national training programs that ensure civilian firearms were in the hands of the responsible and safety trained is a disgrace.

Instead, they have become a spoiled hierarchy using donor monies to feather their benefits nest and political motivators for legislative actions to protect the gun manufacturing and sales cabal while denying national and local governmental attempts to find viable solutions to a problem that's a drain on their tax resources.

 New evidence to show Trump was warned of violence on Jan. 6 said the Washington Post, and on 10-12-22. the Enlightened Prisoner wrote thus:

As a US Citizen the most chilling aspect of all this hyperbola is not that my preferred form of government was attacked for totally insane reasons, rather it's seeing the suppression by government's three branches of elected and appointed leadership for giving such little regard for the total truth and transparency of these troubling events.

 Opinion | Distinguished persons of the week: Accountability for lawyers who betrayed democracy wrote the Wash Post, and on 10-8-22, the Enlightened Prisoner commented thus:

“But attorneys are bound by a code of professional conduct that forbids them from crossing certain lines, including knowingly making false claims, filing frivolous lawsuits or motions, and doing anything to further a crime."

It’s why a lot of Trump’s legal representatives are, and should be, in as much trouble as him. That code should also apply when their actions affect the social order of our country’s citizens. There’s not a court in the country that has taken up the frivolous lawsuits of voting irregularities and found any merit to any of them. Why? A total lack of evidence that’s required for an actionable suit. Yet, these “officers of the court” continue to hawk and further the crime of the phony election lies which becomes a double hit when you consider the number of lawyers who are also elected legislators and are under even a second sworn code to uphold Constituted law.

These attorneys at the bar have disgraced their profession and their personal standards and values of ethics and accountability. They deserve no less than total disbarment.

 Opinion | Yet another lawsuit shows how abortion bans violate religious freedom, a Wash Post piece and on 10-8-22, the Enlightened Prisoner commented thus:

The Roe vs Wade decision intended, "...that women in the United States had a fundamental right to choose whether to have abortions without excessive government restriction..."

Then President Obama, (a very wise male standard bearer), stated, "...if you don't believe in abortion, don't practice it. But don't foster your religious beliefs on everyone else..."

It seems that a woman's right of choice to spend the greatest portion of their productive life providing, protecting and financially supporting a child of their own creation is an intrinsic value. And is certainly not a value that deserves controlling interference from male-dominated legislatures nor courtrooms. And that is exactly what has happened and why this political carnival is little but an irrational governmental overreach.

"I do not lie, cheat, or steal and I'll not abide that blithering lying fool Trump who owns all those traits. Nor his corrupted imitators."

Thus said the Enlightened Prisoner on 10-4-22.
