How Can This Be?

There's a strange anomaly in the perceptions of the American people.  Despite the way the mainstream media is pushing things, the people seem to see the actual facts.  A good example came in a poll that Rasmussen released today.  Fifty one percent of American voters favor the move by President Trump of the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.  Only twenty-nine percent think the move was not a good idea.  Rasmussen also polled the same issue last December when the move was first announced, the split was 40 to 36%.  The media must wonder how can this be.

Since the embassy move was announced, there have been many pieces in the mainstream media denouncing the move a "dangerous"  or "foolish".  The move, we were told, was going to cause massive violence to erupt all across the Arab world.  We were also told that Americans would be attack in all corners of the Muslim world due to this move.  Of course, none of this happened.  The only real violence came at the border between Israel and Gaza and it was not really linked to the embassy move; it was instead linked to the 70th anniversary of the establishment of Israel.

Just because the media "experts" and the Democrats were all wrong, it must still surprise them that the American people didn't buy their lies.  Remember, it was only late in 2017 that the Democrats and the media convinced a large majority of American voters that the GOP tax cut bill would actually raise their taxes.  People like Nancy Pelosi called the tax cut bill a harbinger of the end of the world.  Disaster was coming, or so we were told.  Then the bill passed and was signed into law by the President.  By February, most Americans saw an increase in their paychecks due to new lower tax levels.  Indeed, the realization that the Democrats and the media had been lying may be the reason why recent polling has shown the races for the 2018 Congressional elections are now extremely close, a big change from the blue wave that was forecast in December.

The reality is that eventually, the truth comes out.  The capital of Israel is Jerusalem.  Congress knew it when it passed a law in 1994 requiring that the embassy be moved to that city.  President Trump knew it when he became the first president with the courage to recognize reality and move the embassy.  The American people also know it, and it doesn't matter what lies they push on CNN or MSNBC.
