I did a lot of research into the POW coverup back in the late 80’s
and had the chance to see mccain at a Republican rally about 1989.
I asked him about what efforts were being made to bring the
Vietnam POWs back home. He shuffled his feet, looked down and
to the left, covered his mouth with his hand, changed the tone of
his voice, mumbled that “there are no POWs left in Vietnam”, looked
at someone else, and changed the subject. In short, he showed multiple
“tells” that indicate that a person is lying.
He knows the truth.
And it isn’t what he tells the media.

I think this essay is a “Ball of Confusion.” What are the main points he is trying to make? Overall, a concise summary might help. In my opinion, reports of the death of the United States are exaggerated. Also in my opinion, there are going to be a lot more blacks voting for Trump this year than in 2020. Also in my opinion, in the end, BLM is not going to matter, because they have no sane solutions to the problems of black people.
