I continue to be amazed and, in a measure, impressed with the way that the Left, the MSM, Hollywood, and the Democrats have been able to distort the facts and have people believe them.   I am impressed with their deceptive ability, not appreciative or condoning, but their success amazes me.  

Conversely, I’m consistently unimpressed by those who buy into the spin and cast their votes. Often, when I engage a Democrat supporter, their true motivation becomes clear—a deep-seated hatred for Trump. This powerful emotion all too often clouds judgment, leading to the celebration of a destructive victory.

When I compare the past four years with the previous ones, I quickly come to a simple conclusion.  Policies matter, and I often ask, “Were you better off in the previous four years than the last four years?”  I qualify that focusing on economics, liberties, sense of security, and confidence in where the country is heading.  If that question is answered honestly, most would say, “No, I am not better off now, and yes, I was better off, and the country appeared to be heading in a better direction than in this administration.”

If we could somehow remove the names of the presidential candidates and examine the facts, it might be easier for people to acknowledge the facts. Still, hate is so powerful and prevalent that some can’t acknowledge the facts.   Facts are stubborn things.  I readily acknowledge that everyone has a right to their opinion.  However, they do not have a right to their own facts.  They do not have the right to skew those facts to accommodate their agenda or ideology. 

The economy was growing under Donald Trump but has gone backward under the Biden-Harris administration. Joe Biden effectively made his Vice President Kamala Harris the Border Czar, and she was going to fix the problem. By ‘fix,’ I guess they meant the eradication of enforcement of our immigration laws and open wide the gates with no vetting. Her record as a Senator was one of radical liberalism. Her involvement in the current administration should disqualify her for the job of president.

Kamala Harris is supposedly running as a change from Joe Biden’s policies but basically plagiarized his campaign policies for her political website. But I guess plagiarism is not an unknown tactic for her.  How’s that for being a change that can fix things?  The very things she and Biden broke she is somehow going to fix.  But spin is spin, and rhetoric is rhetoric, and those who want to believe will believe and unquestioningly vote because Trump is bad (so they are told).

If the polls are any indication of how people will vote, her position should be problematic for her and the Left.  The polls indicate that more than 60% of voters want a major change from the current policies.  Only 25% felt that Harris was a change from Biden. 

Let’s take one element of the Biden-Harris administration and examine it.  We are informed that there are approximately 20,000 illegal Haitians who have taken over the town of Springfield, Ohio.  The city had a population of 58,601.  Forcing them to house 20,000 illegals is not reasonable.  The mayor lamented that due to the influx of illegals, the town was doomed for collapse.  

The residents of Springfield, Ohio, have experienced the pinch of escalating costs due to the influx of illegals and the wake of the destruction they have brought.  Insurance is skyrocketing due to the numbers and ineptitude of those illegals to navigate the roadways.  In addition, the Biden-Harris created an increase in fuel costs, inflation, costs of goods and services, and rising cost of living, and you understand why 60% (an amazingly low number) want dramatic change. 

The open border guarantees the influx of drugs flooding our nation, escalating crime, and more.  When massive numbers of illegals are deposited in a city of small or medium-sized, the residents are forced to pay the price or move.  If the taxpayers move, what happens to the town?  It collapses.   The person charged with fixing the border created this.  If you live in one of those cities or towns, please remember who created this mess when you vote in November. 

If you do not care about the Republic and only care about having or maintaining power and control, what better route than an open border?  The illegals have historically become Democrat voters.  With the reporting shrinking voter base of the Left and the Independents who are waking up to the truth, the Democrats have to manufacture a new base. 

Nancy Pelosi told Bill Maher that she is in favor of a California bill that would give illegal immigrants taxpayer money to buy homes.  Maher, to his credit, said, “Democrats did not use to support free housing for illegals.”  Pelosi, in harmony with the views of Harris, said, “Well, that’s not free housing.  It’s the American Dream being available to more people.”   Seriously, she said that.  I guess crime does pay, and there is a reward for breaking our laws, providing you are a potential Democrat vote in the future.

One more issue to consider.  The Harris economic plan would cause the average tax on the working class to increase by at least $1,100.  Our taxes will increase, the entitlements will increase, and illegals will ride the Harris gravy train of freebies.  Imagine going to Mexico or any other country and expecting to be rewarded for entering that country illegally.   That is a fantasy; you would either be immediately deported or incarcerated.    But the Left’s America is espousing open arms to one and all with no regard for our laws or our citizens.

How you vote matters, and elections do have consequences. You may not like Donald Trump, and I sometimes find him abrasive and hard to handle, but consider the past two administrations and ask, “In which was I better off?”   If you are honest, you will vote no on Harris in November, and your no on her will become a yes to Trump’s plans to help us keep more of what we have earned.

God bless you, and God bless America!
