Why Is Honesty the Best Policy?

Families, communities, states, and nations are stronger when all family members understand that honesty is the best policy. Children should be taught that honesty is the best policy because the truth will come out in time.

Prince William and Princess Catherine are in trouble in Great Britain because they doctored some family photographs. Even U.S. Presidents are called out for lying. Now we learn that the J6 Democrat-led committee withheld key evidence to push their political agenda. They most likely did not think that the video evidence from the incident on January 6, 2021, would ever be made public. Now the public can see what really happened in the Capitol that day, and new evidence is coming out. Marshall Cohen, Melanie Zanona, and Holmes Lybrand at CNN reported the following. 

The January 6 committee withheld witness transcripts from the public that undercut some of their most explosive claims about the insurrection, House Republicans alleged in a report released Monday.

Some of the withheld transcripts include testimony from the driver of Trump’s SUV on January 6 and Trump White House officials, who poured cold water on the claim that, while driving home after his rally that day, he physically lunged toward the front of the car to try to force his security detail to take him to the Capitol.

“The testimony of these four White House employees directly contradicts claims made by Cassidy Hutchinson and by the Select Committee in the Final Report,” the new GOP report said, referring to the Trump White House aide-turned-whistleblower. “None of the White House employees corroborated Hutchinson’s sensational story about President Trump lunging for the steering wheel of the Beast.”

Like County District Attorney Fani Willis in Georgia, Cassidy Hutchinson is learning that the truth cannot be permanently hidden. Jesus Christ taught that truth is required for freedom. “If you abide in my word, you are my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31-32).

Truth continues to come out of the dark shadows of the Deep State, consisting of one or more secret combinations attempting to destroy the U.S. Constitution and turn America into a socialist nation. If the whole truth comes out, we may yet save America.

Meanwhile, parents should be teaching their children that truth will prevail. Dishonesty of any kind cannot remain hidden. To be truly happy, we should be honest with ourselves and each other. True honesty will strengthen families, communities, states, and nations.
