The last several years have worn heavily on many of us. The 2024 campaign has been hard. We have seen things we never thought we would see.
We lived through a pandemic that mysteriously appeared as Trump was beginning a campaign for a second term in 2020. Everything President Trump tried to do was either refused or made to look ineffectual. As the virus appeared in China first, President Trump immediately restricted travel to and from that country. He was accused of racism. The president sent a hospital ship to New York City. It sat empty. On and on.
We witnessed the arrival of a new vaccine within months, despite it normally taking ten years or more to develop. Incredibly, it became more deadly than the disease. The federal government was dictating to hospitals how to treat the virus, despite numerous doctors clearly identifying a more effective and less costly approach.
And there was Donald Trump, with massive rallies, who was attacked non-stop during his 2016 and 2020 campaigns and, as president, was not given as much as anything close to a fair shot at any time by the media. Every so-called scandal was disproven. The FEC even fined the DNC $105,000 for their persistent insistence that Russia-Gate actually happened.
We witnessed a 2020 Democrat campaign that looked suspicious from the very start. Biden was a no-show candidate who couldn't attract any crowd, could not speak with any articulation, was a rabid plagiarist, and had no ideas worth mentioning. The vote counting on election night mysteriously stopped for several hours. Upon resuming, the numbers flipped, placing Biden in the lead.
Now in power, the Democrats created the greatest inflation in generations. Our energy prices doubled. Taxes went up, rent shot up, and homes became unaffordable with a 300% rise in mortgage rates. Grocery prices have risen 25-30%, and the cost of everything else has skyrocketed.
Meanwhile, our government has welcomed millions upon millions of illegal migrants, including tens of thousands of criminals, without a second thought as to the effect on cities and towns and the associated costs.
Spending trillions on an anti-inflation bill had no impact.
The materials to continue building the border wall were sold off for 5% of our cost, showing no concern for the taxpayer. Military equipment worth billions of dollars remains in Taliban hands, again demonstrating as much concern for the taxpayer as roadkill.
Trump was impeached twice, indicted four times, and tried as a private citizen. Democrats attempted to remove Trump from 16 state ballots. He was subject to criminal and state civil suits, all to bankrupt him, and targeted for assassination twice. The initial attempt revealed the Secret Service to be either incompetent or a party to a prearranged plot.
And yet, there he was, blood on his face, fists in the air, yelling, "fight, fight, fight."
And now, we see a Democrat candidate as bad or worse than Biden. Kamala Harris cannot speak intelligently on any issue and, like Biden, is a known plagiarist, hasn't an original thought on anything, and completely avoided the primary process and the press.
Despite having command of the borders, she remained silent as millions of unvetted migrants poured in. Just the mere anticipation of Harris facing Putin or Xi Jinping brings thoughts of heading for the bomb shelter.
Was this best the Democrats could offer us?
These Dems now threaten to prevent Trump from taking office even if he wins the election.
Deeply concerning is the apparent abandonment of morality by the Democrat Party. Their support for open homosexuality and unrestricted abortion, along with their encouragement of adults and children to disfigure themselves in the hopes of the impossibility of changing their gender, looks more like Baal worship rather than modern Western culture.
It all begs the question, Where are the Democrats taking us? Why are they so afraid of Trump? Has our government become so corrupt that Trump threatens their criminal enterprise? Have they promised to deliver our country to a globalist entity? Does the thought of the possible release of the Epstein files terrify them? Could an investigation of the 2020 election reveal acts of treason, sedition, insurrection, or even a genuine coup? Could this be our last election?
The Democrats have much to worry about and answer for.
