Are Trump and Biden acting in a political soap opera?



The days of our lives are getting interesting.

Realizing politics has tangible results for regular citizens, questioning the authenticity of politics is relevant considering the holistic factors involved. For instance, wondering if the political frontrunners for key positions in the U.S. government are playing a part, acting a character that has been scripted in correlation with their sincere personality underneath.

The implications are far-reaching if this is the case, yet isn’t the question relevant in our deep fake technological world? Considering that the divide between fantasy and reality has been clouded with deception and virtual reality, doesn’t it seem plausible in some measure to think that the U.S. presidential race is scripted to control the population according to a certain agenda?

Is it naive to think the powers to be would allow the citizens to direct the government when they could get away with not doing so? Is it cynical to think otherwise or practical common sense?

Essentially, the ongoing 2024 US presidential election might be like the soap opera “Days of Our Lives,” “Santa Barbara,” or “The Young and the Restless.” Hey, Americans love their movies and television programming.

Yes, politics has real consequences in our daily lives as Americans, yet is it authentic and sincere, or are these politicians simply actors playing a part for bigger powers behind the scenes? Asking the question shouldn’t shock anyone, yet it does for most.

If there is a script for the political soap opera, who is writing it and what are their intentions?

As the possible political soap opera continues in the 2024 US presidential election, the days of our lives continue as well. One thing is for sure, it is as good as any Hollywood movie or daytime television drama.

The Lowdown Truth #51: God's Judgment on the West

An Ode to Grandpa Lee

An old-time pioneer amid modern vanity and "progress." The man stood tall in the wind with the sun beating down on his flat-brim cowboy hat. He was a working man, focused on his pioneer family in the western country they called home. Building and designing structures high and wide, the man skipped across wooden beams high in the air, under shadows cast only by moving clouds; wide open spaces watched the scene as death-defying feats were carried out in relative obscurity, as just another day of work. The man was an old-timer with relatively few years to boast, a before his time pioneer with an adventurous and loving wife plotting business in sagebrush lands far beyond the hyped city life bustling with seemingly meaningless activities. His skin was as leather, scorched in the sun and beaten with high winds containing drifting sand mixed with alkaline dirt. The dry mountain air in the high desert cleansed his heart with comfortable respite from the high temps and harsh weather e...

Rocky (1976) Movie Review

Duncan Chen/ Flickr One of the best movies of all time. The Genuine Approach It’s hard to believe this iconic American movie was created 50 years ago in 1976, three years before I was even born. It is also hard to believe how well the movie has stood the test of time as one of the best American movies ever made. The entire  Rocky  series of movies, including 6 movies directly about Rocky Balboa (not counting the two  Creed  movies which have him as a secondary character), are amazing movies that inspire the viewer and represent the American dream of working our way up from the bottom to become a success. Although the subsequent  Rocky  movies are great in their own right, none of them compare to the original  Rocky  movie. What makes the original  Rocky  movie one of the best of all time isn’t one thing, rather it is a culmination of a myriad of factors that combined at the right time to give us a genuine, humble, and ever-relatable stor...
