Election important
Election important
A writer recently applauded the president for his “many accomplishments” but didn’t mention any of them. Here are some: open borders; influx of criminals and drugs; outrageous fuel and food prices; rising interest rates; attacks on 1st and 2nd amendment rights; forced compliance with green energy; woke ideology; surging crime rates; Two-tiered justice system highlighted by a coordinated legal bombardment against a former president; biological men ruining women’s sports; loss of parental rights; Student loan forgiveness; ignoring Supreme Court decisions. Need I say more? We voters have power to reclaim American values in November, the most important election in history! 03/27/2024 04:47 PM
