What does the man on the street know anyway?

"Man on the street" interviews show the true feelings of average Americans on any given day. "What happened in Washington, DC, Saturday night, April 25, at the Washington Hilton?" Uh, I don't know, what? It's not just that we are ignorant of history. It's that we're voluntarily ignorant of current events destined to become history. "There was a third attempt on President Trump's life!" Oh, that.... There will likely be more. You know how everyone hates him and what he's done to America. Everybody says he's a.... "Stop it! Just stop it!!!" And, in the halls of Congress, Senator Schumer is fighting against America increasing funding for federal law enforcement saying, "Senate Republicans want to pour $75 billion into ICE and Border Patrol without putting any restraints on these rogue agencies' rampant violence in our streets." Seems like just yesterday when Senator Dirksen was saying, "A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon, you're talking real money." Every administration in Washington has its own cadence. The last one just about rocked all of us to sleep. President Trump's administration has rocked us all wide awake again … and then some! There're tariffs and wars, high gas prices and affordability issues and such. We were all so much more comfortable during President Biden's time in office with plenty of time for ice cream and sunning on the beach. Everything was running on cruise control. Biden's autopen resolved more crises than anyone ever imagined. The news media itself has dumbed down even the most spectacular events in the past few weeks. Going to the moon? Been there before, even landed on it that time. And there's that imminent threat from Iran about a nuclear bomb thing. Nobody in the Democrat Party or in the media believe anything was imminent. Who even knew it was a crisis? President Trump and his team certainly thought the sky was falling. The point, if you've been waiting for one, is no one really cares or pays attention any more to the national grind of daily news. There're no consequences. There are no tests. Nothing has really changed our way of life. Oh sure, we could parrot the media and complain about how bad things are. You know gas prices and just plain affordable things are not affordable like they were before all the news and demonstrations told us things have never been this bad in America. We even have someone claiming to be king and demonstrators are marching on the street corners with their little hand-painted poster board signs. Cheer up! Memorial Day is coming! This year's July 4th is shaping up to be a big national event! Gas prices are primed to drop just in time for summer vacations! There's nothing really to worry about if you don't know what's happening. We can take whatever may come. It's always a surprise anyway. Who knew? What could possibly happen in the heat of summer to mess up our plans? Could we have terrorist attacks from Iranian cells that formed here during open borders? What about cyber-attacks on our communication grids, power grids, or water grids? Those who are charged with protecting us from such attacks haven't been paid in quite some time. It's something to do with politics. What does the man on the street know anyway?
