I listen to books on my drives between Oklahoma and New Mexico. I finished a good one yesterday, Oath and Honor by Liz Cheney. You may not agree with the author, but that does not mean you should not give it a read/listen.
Different perspectives are good for the brain--I have a RFK, Jr. book queued up next. Your heros

I probably won't read that one, but agree that it's good to read/listen/learn from multiple perspectives. Only reading/listening/learning from sources you already agree with is for dumdums, plain and simple. Confirmation bias doesn't make you smarter, just the opposite. I have lots of books, some I like and some that I absolutely disagree with. I keep all my books for my kids to read too, I encourage them to read multiple sources and form their own thoughts (with my strong guidance, of course). I just read a book about Christian anarch-primitivism that was written by a complete moron, but it was still interesting to get the guy's (poorly thought out) perspective.

LOL, hope it was in the fiction section. Or is there an Ironic Title section these days? Here's another ought to be right up your alley... ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2024/01/full-2625-202511-e5d79da27c72d99ff19f84fd19fdbdc1bc5b0d9e.jpeg)

Different perspectives are good for the brain--I have a RFK, Jr. book queued up next. Almost 82 years old. Watching the world who needs Liz Cheney and the rest of the phony politicians and their lies! The title alone is a clue to who she is ...NOT!

I also listen to a lot of podcasts. Some of them are right up my alley. Some of them are very neutral and just informative. I disagree with the host and guests on the rest of them but it is still good for the brain. You do not know what you do not know and it is only opposing points of view that show you that. It is the same reason to change the news channel throughout the evening/morning. It is also why I change the channel in my office alternating between business channels during the day. Ideas can be different and that is good!

She ruined her political career by standing up for her convictions and, in her opinion, the country and Constitution. You may disagree with her but that does not make her a phony or a liar.

Liz Cheney, her dad and many others that entered politics only to become rich doing so. Try something else.

I guess if you thrive on drama you might want to waste your time listening to the opinions of people who don't have the same world view you do. THat's not for me, at least not at this stage of my life. Or any stage. Totally agree, Thanks

Liz Cheney is status quo, the Jane Fonda of the Republican party.
Some of you dolts who take yourselves to be bright can't see the difference between Biden and Trump. Idiotic.

Back to the book review. History is already revealing that the January 6 commission was prejudice and fraudulent! It is not going down well with all involved! Liz Cheney was one of the leaders and suffers from TDS because Trump called out her Dad!.
