I'm starting to get a little dizzy as concerns the news cycle. I get on the news one day and juicy details are revealed which surely must lead to something, the ones bringing these tidbits seeming to be reputable, and then the next day (couple of hours, an hour, fifteen minutes later) that which was brought forth is 

Disowned

Disregarded

Disputed

Disavowed

and 

Disparaged

which brings to me

Despair 

for I was hoping to see something good come of it. Surely there must be some substance to what is being presented because many of the people bringing information forth are 

Distinguished

far beyond my paltry level of recognition, and rightly so, for they have spent years, decades, and even entire careers in their fields and are privy to information that I, Joe General Public, may not be aware of. Strangely, though,

Distrust

of any and all sources is now 

Declared

to be the sensible course to take until each side has more than had their say and all the confusing 'facts' are in which begs the question "Do we now have to question everybody’s word?”. This seems ludicrous because I was raised to believe that the people who were in Public Service positions were already beyond much in the way of reproach or suspicion because they were honest, capable people who had been bestowed their lofty status by

Discerning

voters. Governing was a Noble Cause, attracting, at best, the brightest and most selfless but I have sadly over the years understood that many elected officials have issues with ethics. It is 

Discouraging 

to say the least,

Disheartening

as well, but not all hope is lost. It can never be lost because the intrepid pioneers that built this country brought hope with them and firmly instilled it into this land, hope being undoubtedly the most valuable thing in their possession! They were 

Determined

because what they were leaving behind was highly

Dysfunctional

and they wanted better. Bailing from The Homeland, any one, is a 

Desperate

move and I seriously doubt they were thinking 'adventure travel' when they left. It takes a crazy amount of

Determination 

to carve a civilization out of the wilderness, which most of this land was, and though the Native Americans had to lose for the interlopers to win, it only brings into sharp focus the precarious toehold on survival the settlers (immigrants) knew, for they had burned their bridges behind them to heaps of ash and weren’t going to be getting back on any ships.

They sought equality and mainly got 

Disparity

but maybe that was because they didn't try hard enough, as goes The Story. One that continues to this day because the governors of the land say it is 

Difficult

to 

Discover 

    why certain things are the way they are but they're 'working on it'. In the meantime, 

Display 

a brave face and think the kinds of thoughts that come into the minds of those assured they are in good hands.

And though the

Difference

between what is presented at this time as being 'real' and what is not is highly

Discombobulating

and

Dissatisfying

to any thinking person, 

Disrespectful 

as regards one's intelligence, not to mention

Distracting

Disorientating

Disinteresting

Disgruntling

Disgraceful

Disconcerting

and

Distasteful

to boot, I think that sooner or later some one(s) will step up and serve with 

Distinction,

they being 

Disinclined

to

Dismiss

Disproportional

levels of enfranchisement. Some may 

Disagree,

and vehemently so, because they are 

Disaccustomed

to having limits placed on their appetites but

Distressing

as that may be, it will not be met by 

Disapproval

from the sons and daughters of the pioneers.
