The game 20 questions was one of my favorites as a youth growing up in an era before video games, 250-channel satellite television packages, cell phones and all manner of personal music listening devices.
Simply put, more often than not we had to entertain ourselves, and maybe sharpen our minds in the process. Playing 20 questions honed deductive reasoning skills as well as encouraging creativity in trying to stump the questioners with difficult subject picks.
To recap the game, a person decides on something animal, vegetable or mineral – we went by person, place or thing – and the other players have 20 questions to root out the answer. They must be yes or no questions. They must be answered honestly.
Today I’m offering a variation, in which I ask 20 questions of readers designed to encourage thought, not find one answer.
- Is any knowledgeable sports fan surprised today that the U.S. men are on the outside looking in at the World Cup, having exited in the round of 16?
- Why would anyone be stunned that the LameStream media is burying the release of Twitter documentation that there was a conscious effort there to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story?
- Why is it OK for White House propaganda mouthpiece Karine Jean-Pierre to flat-out lie to the media, such as falsely saying Clueless Joe Biden has visited the border with Mexico while president?
- Anyone else notice that the familiar unholy alliance of left-wing politicians and LameStream media are going on full attack mode regarding one-time leftist darling Elon Musk simply because he is sharing facts?
- Considering the NFL is a professional league, why are there so many mediocre and just plain bad teams in it?
- Who prepares the list Clueless Joe Biden refers to so often during press conference regarding the people he is allowed to call upon to ask questions?
- In view of the scenes of worker abuse at plants in China, why aren’t more questioning Apple’s cushy relationship with the ChiComs?
- How much military aid to Ukraine is enough considering the U.S. already has sent about $20 billion under the Biden regime, or about one-third of the annual Russian defense budget in 2021?
- When will we start to demand accountability and fully audit all that cash thrown into Ukraine, a country that even Clueless Joe Biden once identified as extremely corrupt?
- Will the politicized findings of the Jan. 6 committee be buried like the truth about Hunter Biden’s laptop?
- Are you better off today than you were when Clueless Joe Biden first was guided into the Oval Office?
- Don’t you just want to puke when pretty boy Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau praises China protesters after having done all he could – legally and extra-legally – to squelch any sort of protest by Canadian citizens against his reign of control?
- Should we be surprised by yet another study finding that masks, even the heralded N95 variety, do little to suppress the spread of COVID?
- Dare we dream that Anthony Fauci will be called to account for all the COVID mistruths he perpetrated in his self-declared role of Mr. Science?
- Will the shift of the Democratic Party to the left stop at replicating here the Mao regime in China, or move past it?
- Isn’t it totally predictable that Antifa would be outraged by a Florida rally to protest sexualization of children?
- Has anyone else noted how often photos emerge of Bill Clinton with disgraced types such as Jeffrey Epstein and Sam Bankman-Fried?
- Whatever happened to Epstein, Vince Foster, Seth Rich and Ron Brown?
- Would you underwrite a life insurance policy on Bankman-Fried?
- Do you believe in Santa Claus, that Elvis remains alive and that the Federal Reserve can engineer a soft economic landing despite raising interest rates at a record pace?
