It’s not that the left and the right are dishonest. It’s more that they are less honest. Much of what both left and right says is true. But both sides leave off a little part of the truth, because it hurts their positions, or is too harsh for the voting public. And those little, unspoken parts of the truth, and the questions they bring up, are what’s tearing our country apart. Because by leaving it unspoken, we leave it unaddressed, and it just festers. We need to get back to the middle. "At Least He Tells the Truth" will tell the WHOLE truth, not just the politically expedient truth. Because it's the right thing for our country.

The Tiny Lie at the Start of Medicare for All Conversations
Pretty much every conversation about Medicare for All starts with a tiny fib. That tiny fib is the name, Medicare for All. The Medicare for All Act does NOT propose Medicare for all. What is being proposed by the progressive wing of the Democratic Party is actually Medicaid for all. Any way you slice it, we have a healthcare proposal that has very little in common with Medicare, but everything in common with Medicaid, and yet its backers call it Medicare for all instead of Medicaid for all. Why would the Medicare for All crowd purposely mislabel their plan? Because if Progressive are honest about what they are proposing, it will have even less support. So instead of being truthful, Progressives chose a misleading name. They chose to tell a tiny fib. This is, unfortunately, kind of a recurring theme of the modern progressive movement. They feel entirely comfortable telling tiny little fibs to get people to support their positions. To get people to support policies that the progressives feel are good for them. Maybe it’s just me, but it feels like progressives are willing to lie to me, for my own good. As if I couldn’t figure out what was good for me if they actually told me the truth.

Your Smart Friends that Believe Voter Fraud Happened
I’ve got some really smart friends that still insist Biden won the election because of voting fraud. You might have some friends like that, too. I know it’s hard not to jump right to outrage, to ask them how someone as smart as they could believe something so untrue. Fight the temptation. Instead, engage them on the subject. Ask them how many votes they believe were cast fraudulently. Go through the different kinds of voting fraud. Ask them which kind of fraud happened. They probably won't have an answer for you, but they will appreciate that you didn't jump right to the name calling. And who knows, maybe go a step further. There is a factual truth and an emotional truth to most situations. For many Trump voters, the emotional truth is that the System ganged up against Trump to ensure he wasn't reelected. Acknowledge that there is some truth to that, even if there was no actual fraud. Your friendship will probably be better for it. Our democracy certainly will be.

I Pray Every Day
I pray two or three times a day, and if I’m having a great day, even more - I say little prayers of gratitude throughout the day. Sometimes I think this catches people by surprise. Most people think of me, I hope, as kind of a hard nosed numbers and rationality guy. But rationality and prayer aren’t contradictory. They just cover two different parts of the human experience – the knowable and the unknowable. For all that we know, for all that we can know, there will always be a part that is unknowable. We might answer the What, but here on earth we can never truly answer the Why. Why? Why are we here? Why does what we do matter? We can’t know Why. We just have to believe. People ask me how I’m able to do what I do, how I can keep multiple long term projects moving forward. Prayer is a big part of it.
