SAD DAYS FOR AMERICA?

I have followed presidential races since the days of Ike and am alarmed and saddened by the current presidential election. While the major political parties represent different visions for America's future, there is an element of hate and outrage that is dangerous and extreme.

Supporters of both candidates show great enthusiasm and passion. However, I don't understand individuals and groups who support the physical destruction or lifetime imprisonment of Donald Trump. Equally, those who feel the election of Kamala Harris would end our free enterprise republic hold an over-the-top view, in my opinion.

All should be reminded of our nation's federal government unique structure of three equal and separate branches; executive, judicial and legislative. Over the decades of war and peace, these departments have checked the other branches and controlled the chaos of dark domestic and international events. Additionally, I believe the resilience of citizens in surviving major national challenges such as The Civil War, full integration of minorities, women's suffrage and terrible periods of war highlight a reasonable population of men and women.  

In my opinion, since the beginning we have been a nation of incredible natural resources, an outstanding body of founding principles and laws, and a diverse population of the world's best people. Our prosperity, peace and progress has never depended on one president or the other, but on the people of the nation.

While supporting your preferred candidate with passion and facts, supporting extremes to win the day is evil and un-American. I am confident that America will survive no matter the outcome of the 2024 election and pray that the merchants of hate will end or tone down their harmful rhetoric.

God Bless Kamala, Donald and the United States of America!

OCTOBER WONDERS TO BEHOLD?

As the weeks melt away leading to election day look for these democratic miracles from Kamala and Company. Announcements of new federal grants for all citizens and businesses, lowered gasoline prices, sudden promises to secure the border, re-open the oil pipelines and back the police 100%. Additionally, Kamala will drop her obsession for the "green new deal" and fervent backing of anti-Israel movements, BLM, Antifa and "woke" groups. She will swear a new allegiance to dissolving the government swamp in Washington and pledge total support to build and improve our military. She will make a solemn oath to help our veterans, homeless and drug addicted citizens before giving any more money and safe refuge to "illegal" aliens. 

Upon these announcements, the biased print and electronic media will go bonkers with excitement and give her extended unlimited coverage. Some fence sitting politicians will even jump onboard the Kamala train. Uninformed, low information and gullible voters will suck up her promises like hopeless souls finding a new and glorious savior. 

Don't be fooled friends and neighbors. 

Her promises will be a last-ditch effort to sway voters. Essentially, she will desperately attempt to move from a far-left political agenda to a more centrist set of political views. If, God forbid, she wins she will shift back to her historic record of being an extreme leftist California and federal politician. Her pre-election words will be empty and represent a strategy to sound more like Trump.

Carefully look at the facts and economic numbers of the last four years of the Biden Harris regime. Consider their foreign policy blunders and blind reversal of Trump policies from day one of their failed administration. 

Don't be fooled by the onslaught of October surprises and promises from the Kamala camp!
