In mathematics, two negatives when multiplied make a positive. In life, it seldom works that way.

I read that with son Lachlan taking over for Rupert Murdoch at Fox News would allow for a reset with Donald Trump. That is the exact opposite of what this propaganda network needs. They have settled two defamation cases, with two pending by gas lighting their viewers for the former president. And, two large shareholders have sued Fox News for causing the defamation. When will they ever learn? When you lie to support other lies, those two negatives do not make a positive.

The extreme members of the Republican Freedom Caucus are well known now, but not in a positive way. Names like Gaetz, Jordan, Taylor Greene et al will not be remembered well in history. People who treat others negatively and then lie on top of it do not make a positive. The word “freedom” is a misnomer here unless it is referring to freedom from rational discourse.

The governor of Florida is falling fast in his campaign to be the Republican presidential nominee. It is so bad, it is affecting his role as governor in the eyes of Floridians. What Ron DeSantis fails to understand is acting like a bully and lying at the same time does not make a positive message. Floridians failed to realize this is how he conducted himself as a US Congressman, not unlike how the former president acted long before running for office. They both got voted in.

The former president may be one of the most negative influences ever to serve in the US. He was voted the 4th worst US president in history by 142 historians, but that tells only part of his story. He has divided us further and betrayed our country by lying to save face. Yet, lying more to cover a lie that he supposedly won an election he lost does not make a positive. It just makes a sad equation by a sad actor.

For those who still support these negative factors in these mathematic equations, they need to find a new math book.
