RASMUSSEN REPORTS
— As America’s cities experience a surge of criminal violence, less than a quarter of voters trust the media to report the facts about crime.
(DIERSEN: Democrats run America. The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime. The mainstream media exists to elect Democrats and to reelect Democrats. Therefore, expect the mainstream media to underreport poverty and crime, unless, of course, if their strategy is to use increasing poverty and increasing crime to justify their moving America toward socialism, communism, and dictatorship.)

(DIERSEN: I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old and I became a licensed CPA in 1981.

They succeeded in forcing me to take that “offer” and they gave him my job and they gave him my preferred corner office.)
