Scott Adams put up an interesting analysis of the dozen Russians indicted for hacking. As he suggests...there’s just some funny ‘smell’ to the story, and the total lack of evidence by the FBI...seems to stand out..

I will say this....a fifteen minute dose of Scott Adams talking over these daily topics...does make you more perceptive of events going on.

He is correct on one key thing facing us today....believability is at an all-time low for most Americans (doesn’t matter if we are talking political stuff, news media, banks, FBI, science business, special agendas, etc). We are becoming a nation of skeptics, and it’s at an all-time level.

"We are becoming a nation of skeptics, and it’s at an all-time level."

We're no where near an all time record level. This nation started as a nation of skeptics and as reading about the Whiskey Rebellion shows, it was a nation of skeptics as soon as the Federal government lifted a finger to do anything other than enforce the tariffs at ports and provide enough of a Navy to keep the British off our necks.

It wasn't until the 60s when television replaced newspapers as the primary source of information for most people, especially younger people, that Americans were lulled into the sort of trance that most loyal democrats are still in.

Increasing skepticism isn't the problem, not even a problem. The amazing lack of skepticism is the problem

Caused by whom??! A lying press which has become and has been for some time toe propaganda arm of the Left Wing DemoRAT party.

Trump has just brought it out. God Bless Donald Trump, truthmonger.

There’s a dawning realization among much of the citizenry that we’ve been subjected to 50 years of fake news. So yes, people are skeptical.

And that is as near to critical thinking some people will get. Which is good nevertheless. At least the LIV's are paying attention.
