First the definitions: according to the dictionary, a fact is something that is indisputable; the truth as opposed to interpretation. A factoid is an assumption or speculation that is repeated so often that it becomes accepted as fact. Factoids are usually a form of appeasement or desensitization; if you hear an assumption often enough, you become desensitized to its falsehood and begin to accept it. That is why so many politicians will repeat their factoids over and over.

Discernment is the ability to judge well; this term is commonly used in connection with spiritual understanding and guidance. Pray to be able to discern facts from factoids.

“ Make no mistake”, “ I can assure you”, “I will get to the bottom of this”, and “The perpetrators will bear the full extent of the law” all appear to be factoids. For five years we have given this administration the benefit of the doubt and they have taken advantage of it. Now the cry is “plausible deniability”. When are Americans going to wake up? As far as I am concerned, there is NO plausible deniability. This president hand picked his cabinet and czars because he knew they were like minded and would further his agenda. By the way, why call them czars? Why not something that sounds a little more American? Czars (tzars) is a Russian word representative of Caesar, an emperor. There’s a clue for you. Here is another clue, he appointed Susan Rice to a position where she could not be questioned about the lies she told about Benghazi. Quid pro quo on a grand scale. And our Attorney General,  Eric (with)Holder will not go quietly into the night as any man of integrity should. Is he ashamed of his lies? Not a chance! These are the kinds of people that make decisions about our country, dismantling our freedoms one by one. Putting our armed forces at risk until the ultimate sacrifice has been made; then denying them their right to be treated for their sacrifices. This administration attempts to give our American freedoms to terrorists and furthermore, supplies foreign governments who harbor terrorists, with weapons and millions of dollars. The latest IRS scandal should have every American terrified. The problem is that most Americans do not realize that the IRS will be the ones who decide your medical treatment when Obamacare is fully implemented. Are they gathering information on conservatives so that they can deny treatment to them? Silly? Not in the light of all that has been happening. I am just happy that Senator Rand Paul stood up to the suggested droning of Americans on American soil. Thank you, sir, that you did not give this administration the chance to say, “Oops, we did not mean to do that”, when they hit the wrong(?) target.

I applaud Sean Hannity and Judge Jeanine Pirro for their honesty and forthrightness in reporting the facts fearlessly.  Theirs are facts, not factoids! And I believe that Americans are learning to tell the difference.
