The fairy tale of Ahmed's clock

Pulling Our Strings and Poking Us in the Eyes: The Ahmed Mohamed Fairy Tale
"There can be no doubt that Americans are fortunate enough to be governed by a brilliantly conceived Constitution drafted by remarkable, intelligent men.

Voter ignorance on this and so much else contributes to the ease with which the media manipulates public opinion into believing things which are not so. In this they play into the hands of a childishly narcissistic president who despises the values upon which our country was based, a man who repeatedly pokes our allies and us in the eyes to show that he can deeply offend without penalty.

Wise beyond his years, he observes, “You don’t get invited to the White House for building a clock.”
