The following report is from the Trends Journal:
The survey was conducted during House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s provocative trip to Taiwan earlier this month despite threats from China. The polling company said the 34 percent was about the same number who could point to Ukraine prior to Russia’s 24 February invasion.
The poll featured a blank map with the borders of Asian countries. The polling company posted the results that showed mustard and green-colored dots representing correct and incorrect answers. The green dots were correct responses and mustard dots appeared in far-flung regions, including in Australia, India, and Siberia.
Those who could identify Taiwan were more likely to have heard news coverage about the island recently, with 86 percent saying they had heard at least something about Pelosi’s trip—though the story did manage to break through to 71 percent of the general electorate.
Morning Consult said
TRENDPOST: The main reason why Pelosi and other politicians keep their seats as though they are lifetime appointments is because the average American is completely ignorant to the world around them… and Washington is controlled by a two-party crime “lesser of two evils” crime syndicate.
When they do watch and listen to “news” they tune into the media source that they like best that says what they want to hear and wish to believe. For example, love them or hate them, is not the issue. But rather than reporting hard facts and figures from one side, they narrow down the narrative to keep it simply stupid. For example: Putin= Bad Man; Trump= Orange Bad Man.
It would be interesting to see how many of those who took the survey currently fly a Ukrainian flag outside their homes or cheer when a U.S. destroyer sails through the Taiwan Strait.
An uneducated electorate is a danger to our freedoms. Thomas Jefferson wrote,
A properly functioning democracy depends on an informed electorate.
John F. Kennedy also said,
The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security for all.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Jeremiah 4:22
The Trends Journal summarized and said it best: this nation is overflowing with willfully ignorant and unenlightened halfwits, and people who are genuinely and truly dumb and stupid in the greatest sense of the words; and the Journal’s sentiment is completely on par with I have been proclaiming since The WinePress was founded.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I’m so sick and tired of these stupid Americans and I’ve seen stupid lukewarm Americans aplenty before you were born and that’s not said in pride, I’m stating that as fact:
The majority of Americans including and especially “christians” are sitting in front of the idiot box, if it’s not video games or social media, it’s television and sports.
One of the reasons why America is about to be finished in the not-too-distant future. The global elitists have them where they want them.
Jacob,
I’ve done some research on Lowell W. Paxson who claimed to be a christian, but was a TV mogul who made his millions off of the home shopping network and a failed TV network called PAX TV (it was as entertaining as a stick) and I believe his death in 2015 was the Lord vomiting him out. I read on a report of paxson, that he was combining his newly found faith with an energetic form of capitalism (nevermind what Matthew 6:24 says I guess)
What are your thoughts on that?
