You Blow, “Scranton Joe!”

In the last few days I’ve seen “President” Biden (please recall that we should always put the word “president” in quotes when referring to “President” Biden, since he didn’t actually win the election) show up on the United Auto Workers (UAW) picket line, in Detroit, touting his support for them, and working middle-class Americans, who “built this country,” in general. 

Then I see “Scranton” Joe speaking at a fund raising event in Arizona, crying about how extreme MAGA republicans in Congress are about to shut down the government, and about how bad this would be for those same working middle-class Americans.

Sooo, it’s okay to shut down the American auto industry, and all of the businesses that support the auto industry, but it’s not okay to shut down (which really isn’t a shutdown anyway) the federal government, which working middle-class Americans get very little help from, and in fact, the federal government which is making life miserable for the average working middle-class American citizen (regarding the budget crushing prices of gas, groceries, utilities, rent, and mortgage rates), while it shovels OUR tax money to Ukraine and the support of millions of illegal immigrants.

Excuse me “Scranton” Joe, but you and your pathetic administration, along with your disingenuous and anti-American democrat party, can kiss all of our working middle-class American a$$es!

And you can throw in the disgusting establishment RINOs in Congress, and the derelict, negligent, and equally culpable mainstream media as well.

In reality, you and the rest of the democrats represent evil, death, crime, lies, and corruption.

Iryna Zarutska was Sentenced to Death by Our “Justice System.”

Yes, Iryna Zarutska was sentenced to death by our so-called “Justice System,” but it could have been anybody, just sitting there, minding their own business on that train, or on a bus, or eating at a restaurant, or walking down the street, or…, well, you get the picture.

This piece of human garbage had no business being out and about amongst the innocent people of this community, just trying to live their lives, with the most modest expectations of the ability to do so.

I’ve written about this type of injustice before, and it’s sad we have to deal with this again, and again, and again, and again…

Like I said, I’ve written about these types of injustices before.

Many other articles will be written about this, but most won’t address the real problem.

The real problem is democrats. Democrats and their policies.

Their evil policies.

This is an attack of evil people on good and innocent people.

Let’s just be clear that it’s basically a battle of good versus evil. 

Regarding this specific case, Sneha Kumari for India Times News writes a good article and asks the right questions:

“Who is Decarlos Brown Jr.? 14 arrests, mental illness and a violent past—why was he free before killing Iryna Zarutska?”

“Decarlos Brown Jr., a 34-year-old with a long history of violent crimes and diagnosed schizophrenia, was arrested for the fatal stabbing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska. Despite 14 prior arrests and alarming behavior, he remained free due to systemic failures, raising serious concerns about public safety and mental health oversight.”

And please be aware that records show there are over 800 other individuals walking around free in the Charlotte area that have more prior arrests (20, 30, 40, and even 50 and more) than DeCarlos Brown.

It’s scary, and this situation is only multiplied hundreds and hundreds of times in communities across the country.

“The brutal killing of Iryna Zarutska has sent shockwaves through the Charlotte community and beyond, raising urgent questions about public safety and the protection of vulnerable individuals seeking refuge. Just 23 years old, Zarutska had escaped the horrors of war in Ukraine in search of peace and security in the United States. Instead, her life was tragically cut short in a horrifying act of violence aboard a Charlotte light rail train, where she was fatally stabbed. Following this, shocking new video footage has surfaced on the internet, revealing the terrifying moments before and after the attack. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police have arrested Decarlos Brown Jr, a known career criminal, in connection with the murder, but who is he, and why was he released after being in jail 14 times?”

“According to the surveillance footage, after Zarutska clutched her throat and collapsed into her seat, Decarlos Brown Jr. calmly walked through the train car, removed his sweatshirt, and stood near the doors. Other passengers began to take notice as blood was seen dripping from him, slowly realizing the severity of what had just occurred.”

“According to officials, Brown exited at the next stop, where a knife was later recovered. However, the disturbing visuals have sparked public outrage and renewed calls for stronger safety measures on public transportation systems.”

“Decarlos Brown Jr., is currently a homeless man who has a lengthy criminal history that includes charges such as larceny, armed robbery, and making threats, as per WSOC-TV. He previously served a five-year prison sentence for armed robbery. Earlier this year, in January, Brown was arrested again after allegedly misusing the 911 emergency system during a welfare check.”

“Despite a long and violent criminal record, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. was repeatedly released back into the community. As reported by the New York Post, Brown assaulted his own sister just months after being released from prison.”

“Court records reveal a disturbing pattern, showing that Brown has spent much of his adult life in and out of jail since 2011. His extensive rap sheet includes serious charges such as felony larceny, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and making criminal threats, raising serious concerns about how someone with such a history remained free despite the escalating severity of his offences.”

Ali Abbas Ahmadi, for BBC News, reports that, “The suspect’s mother, who didn’t want to be identified, told local news outlet WSOC-TV that she believes the attack could have been prevented.”

She understood her son was not well and should not have been released.

“North Carolina Representative Brenden Jones, a Republican, wrote on X that Ms Zarutska’s death ‘is the result of decades of Democrat DAs and Sheriffs putting their woke agendas above public safety. Violent criminals commit crimes with impunity, while families live in fear.’”

“Republican Florida Congressman Randy Fine said he would ‘introduce legislation to hold judges accountable when violent repeat offenders they release commit new crimes.’”

”’Those 12+ judges that released Decarlos Brown Jr should have their day in court too,’ he added.”

Yes, they should be held responsible for their actions.

And, in addition, it is very simple: dangerous individuals need to be locked away to protect the rest of us.

I’m not concerned about their rights or rehabilitation.

I’m concerned about their current and future victims.  

People say crime is not a political issue, but, I’m sorry, it is.

The simple truth is that democrats have a lot of blood on their hands.

If you’re a democrat, you have blood on your hands.

Democrats proclaim, “Black Lives Matter!” Really?

Seriously?

Really?

Most recently, Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker, and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, have been fighting to keep federal crime assistance, offered by President Trump, out of Chicago.

These “concerned” politicians prefer the status quo, which was 58 people shot and 8 killed over the Labor Day weekend, and dozens shot and killed over any other normal weekend, not to mention those shot and killed during the week!

Black communities bear the brunt of these shootings and killings.

But Pritzker and Johnson say crime statistics are improving, and they don’t want, or need help.

What do you think the families and friends of the hundreds of people who have been shot, and the families and friends of the hundreds of people in Chicago would have to say about that?

Pritzker and Johnson call on their democrat friends to “stand up and fight” against “federal occupation,” and to “defend the land” against President Trump.

Really?

Again, these “concerned” politicians prefer 58 people shot and 8 killed over the Labor Day weekend, and dozens shot and killed over any other normal weekend, not to mention those shot and killed during the week, and expect the people of Chicago to follow suit?

Since when did sacrificing the lives of these people to criminals on a daily basis become acceptable, and become the norm?

I believe the sane residents of Chicago would beg to differ.

So, do these democrat politicians still believe black lives matter?

I would ask, “matter” in what way exactly, because these black lives don’t seem to be worth saving in their eyes.

In case you don’t believe my premise of black lives being effected the most by this senseless crime in Chicago, in an article from April 12, 2022, for The Heritage Foundation, Giancarlo Canaparo and Abby Kassal ask, “Who Suffers the Most from the Crime Wave?”

“African Americans bear an increasingly large share of the harm from crime.”

“The spike in crime is hurting a lot of people, and black communities bear the heaviest burden.”

“Violent crime, like the price of gas, is rising. Not everyone is experiencing this crime wave in the same way. For some, it’s a distant issue experienced by other people somewhere else. For others, it’s a daily life-threatening concern.”

“We parsed the FBI’s crime data from 2011 to 2020 (the most recent data available) and found that African Americans bear an increasingly large share of the harm from crime. African American offenders, meanwhile, are committing an increasingly large share of violent crimes.”

“For other racial groups, the numbers are either decreasing (in the case of both white victims and offenders), increasing by much smaller amounts, or holding constant.”

“According to federal crime data, the number of violent crimes has increased by almost 50% over the last 10 years. In 2011, the FBI reported 314,907 violent offenses. In 2020, there were 640,836.”

“The most striking figure in the data is the spike in reported homicides, which tripled from 3,549 offenses in 2011 to 10,440 offenses in 2020.”

“The picture that federal crime data provide is bad, but the reality of crime in the United States is even worse. The FBI’s data is not complete. It relies on local law enforcement agencies across the country to voluntarily share their local data with the FBI. Not all do.”

Or, the data is manipulated, ala Washington D.C., to make it seem better than it really is.  

“Although the National Incident-Based Reporting System is not complete, it provides useful insights into who suffers from and who commits crime because it tracks demographic data about both sets of people.”

“We utilized the FBI’s crime data to compare victim statistics to determine which groups have been most impacted by the rise in violent crime. Factoring out the cases in which the race of the victim was unknown, we calculated who has borne the brunt of the crime wave.”

“For this analysis, violent crime includes assault, homicide, and sex offenses. We found that the increase in these crimes has fallen hardest on black people.”

“The most significant changes, therefore, were that black people represent an increasing share of violent crime victims…”

“The true size of the problem is made starker when we consider that African Americans make up only 14.2% of the total population (including multiracial populations who identify as black “in combination” with another race), but 32.7% of all violent crime victims and 54.4% of homicide victims. Thus, these small percentages represent an enormous problem that, for black people, is getting worse, both in relative and absolute terms.”

Regardless…, the spike in crime is hurting a lot of people, and black communities bear the heaviest burden.

Democrats across the country oppose President Trump’s desire to make our cities safer places to live and work. The democrats prefer to fight for the rights criminals and ignore the devastating impact crime is having on their constituents.

How these democrats keep winning elections in our big cities is beyond me.

I guess, in the end, you get what you deserve, but President Trump is determined to improve the lives of the people in these big democrat run cities, whether they appreciate it or not.

Everything and Anything Exists Only Because I Believe it Does.

Think about that for minute.

Everything and anything exists only because I believe they do.

I feel it’s an interesting concept, and actually very true…, if you really think about it.  

What exists, what is real, is unique to each of us.

My “reality” is distinctly my own, formed by what my senses have accumulated and experienced.

You have accumulated knowledge and experiences that I never will, and vice versa.

Your “reality” is distinctly your own, formed by what your senses have accumulated and experienced.

Our senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste, are only sensors of data, which are sent to our brains for interpretation.

The reality around us is created by our brains and those interpretations.  

That’s it.  

If a tree falls in the forest and no one was there to hear it, did it really fall?

If I didn’t hear it, it didn’t fall as far as I’m concerned.

And why would I even care?

Why do I?

Do I?

Apparently.

Our lives are enigmas (a person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand) wrapped in conundrums (confusing and difficult problems or questions).

And then we die.

What reality is left then?

The Swamp was Swilling Taxpayer Money like Pigs at the Trough!

Yes, my friends. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has revealed a virtual unending amount of waste and abuse of our taxpayer dollars by these swamp monsters and their anti-America socialist piglets everywhere.

To the tune of billions and billions and billions of our taxpayer dollars.

In the simplest of terms, innumerable (mostly democrat) parasites have been stealing our money.

When I hear the DOGE team describe just some of their findings it literally makes me sick.

Imagine, if you will, thousands and thousands of “wolves of Wall Street” partying on our dime like it was 1999.

They had absolutely no respect for the people they were supposed to be working for, or any sense of accountability for the money they had no problem squandering away. 

It’s no wonder the democrats are all up in arms over President Trump, Elon Musk, and the DOGE team.

These people are like crack addicts who have been forced to go cold turkey, with the added worry of possibly being held legally accountable for their years, even decades, of theft and abuse.

This explains why they’re willing to fund as many protests as it takes, while expending political capital left and right, regardless of popular opinion.

Congressman Craig Goldman, of Texas, posted the following on his website:

“Alongside President Donald Trump, I am committed to eliminating wasteful and fraudulent federal government spending. With over $36 trillion in national debt, reckless government overspending must end. I have put together a non-exhaustive list of taxpayer dollars spent under the Biden administration. This list has been identified through the incredible work of the White House, executive agencies, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and my colleagues in the U.S. Congress. I will be updating this tracker regularly to show how taxpayer dollars were poorly spent.”

“The list below includes taxpayer dollars channeled through agencies such as the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), U.S. Department of State (DOS), U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Inter-American Foundation (IAF), National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF), and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).”

The following is just a list of DOGE’s initial findings.

The Rebirth of America!

Yes, my friends. We are experiencing a true rebirth of America.

Just like the original American patriots who stood up, led by General George Washington, against all odds, to the mighty British empire, modern day American patriots stood up against the cabal of the democrat party, the propagandist mainstream media, fascist governmental “lawfare,” and a flood of anti-American money, to elect Donald Trump in the election of November of 2024.

I believe as time goes by, Donald Trump will be revered as the “Father” of the rebirth of the United States, just as George Washington is revered as the original “Father” of our country.

I also believe that Elon Musk will be viewed as a modern day founding father, similar to Benjamin Franklin.

Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of our nation, was a writer, scientist, inventor, statesman, diplomat, printer, publisher and political philosopher who gave his time and his intellect to his country.

Like Ben Franklin, Elon Musk has given his time and expertise for the good of his adopted home.

Whereas Washington battled the British “red coats” with his blue coated rebels, President Trump’s red-hatted MAGA patriots are in a constant political and moral battle with the designated blue democrats.

Washington fought for the ideals in The Declaration of Independence.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.”

Like Washington, President Trump is also fighting for these same ideals, again, 250 years later.

“Vote for the democrats, because the democrats vote for us!”

I’ve recently seen these words on signs posted here and there.

My question is, who exactly is this “US” this person is referring to?”

If “US” refers to illegal immigrants, I would agree.

If “US” refers to the Chinese Communist Party, I would agree.

If “US” refers to the Mexican drug cartels, I would agree.

If “US” refers to the people on Jeffrey Epstein’s client list, and pedophiles everywhere, I would agree.

If “US” refers to all of these trans drag queens, who feel obligated to put on their disgusting shows in front of children, I would agree.

If “US” refers to the parents who feel it is okay to expose their children to all of these trans drag queens, who feel obligated to put on their disgusting shows for children, I would agree.

If “US” refers to those who feel it’s okay to eliminate Israel, and all Jewish people in general, I would agree.

If “US” refers to those who want to “buddy up” to Iran, and subsidize terrorism around the world, I would agree.

If “US” refers to those who prefer to subsidize despots around the globe by getting our oil from them, as opposed to supplying our own oil here at home, I would agree.

If “US” refers to those who feel it is preferable to keep letting serial criminals off time and time again, without holding them accountable for their actions, I would agree.

If “US” refers to those who feel it is appropriate to transfer the debt of college students onto the backs of other hard working Americans, I would agree.

If “US” refers to individuals who believe it is okay to weaponize the “justice” department against those who may have different political views from the party in power, I would agree.

If “US” refers to those who make the killing of innocent unborn babies their top priority, and are willing to overlook all of these other sins in order to maintain this ability, I would agree.

If “US” refers to people who believe it is okay for biological males to complete in women’ sports and infringe upon women’s restrooms and locker rooms, I would agree.

If “US” refers to people who don’t mind paying 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% more for food, gas, rent, utilities, or mortgages, I would agree.

I’m sure “US” could apply to many other undesirable ideals and individuals as well. Please add to the list via a comment if you feel I’ve left some group off.

We have a lot of confused and ignorant people in this country, as well as those who would intentionally promote the downfall of our country and our way of life.

We cannot let these democrats win.

If the democrats win, we all lose.

Is Our Food Killing Us?!

Or, maybe the question is are “they” trying to kill us, or at least make us sick, with their greed?

Big Pharma sure doesn’t mind supplying us the meds to deal with the problems caused by their friends in big business and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).    

In some cases, can our food even really be considered “food?”

Or, is it more like a lab experiment?

As it turns out, I was surprised to learn that not all “food” is created equal. 

Freya Drohan, for DailyMail.com, reports, “Food blogger reveals the shocking differences between U.S. and U.K. ingredients lists, accusing American brands of trying to ‘poison consumers’ with high numbers of additives and chemicals.”

“Vani Hari, aka the Food Babe, describes herself as a healthy-living activist. The North Carolina-based blogger routinely calls out shady ingredients.”

“She recently showed the discrepancies between ingredients of packaged food sold commonly in the U.S. and the U.K.”

My first thought is why would there be any difference at all?

My second thought is, what happened to all of those consumer watchdog reporters and shows we used to have?   

Anyway…, why would a company go out of its way to produce a product in two completely different ways?

“Vani regularly takes on large corporations over their use of certain additives.”

“She has previously come under fire for having no science/nutrition background.”

Oh, I bet she has!

I guess you don’t specifically need a science or nutrition background to read a label though, do you?

And we all remember the term “follow the science,” don’t we?

We found out if you follow the science it leads to people with a lot of money dictating what the proper “science” is.

“Vani Hari, who goes by the moniker The Food Babe online, showed the differences between common bodega goods like chips and soda and how they are formulated on each side of the Atlantic.”

“The author and campaigner, 38, shared her findings with her audience, who were horrified to see ingredients like the preservative BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) and artificial colorings in products sold to American consumers while the British versions and the Australian and the Canadian [versions] come without.”

“Yikes! A packet of Doritos sold in America is shown to contain controversial chemical compounds like Red 40, Blue 1 and Yellow 5”

“…but they aren’t used on the U.K. version.”

“While calling out the differences, she slammed the food companies involved for ‘poisoning consumers for profit.’”

Noooooo! Can you imagine food companies doing that?!

‘“Although artificial dyes are common in America, that doesn’t make them safe to eat,’ Vani said.”

“She explained that in Europe, food companies are required to include warning labels if they use artificial dyes – hence many opt not to use them.”  

‘“That’s one reason the U.K. version is so different,’ she added.”

‘“Companies don’t want to slap warnings all over food packages because that wouldn’t be good for business. To make matters worse, they add high fructose corn syrup, cellulose gum, and artificial preservatives to the U.S. version.’”

“Complicated: In America, Heinz’ classic tomato ketchup appears to have more convoluted ingredients compared to its British counterpart.”

“She believes that U.S. companies continue to sell the artificial ingredient-laden products because they’re cheaper to produce and they can get away with it.”

“For example, she calls out the way Red 40 is used in the production of Doritos in America.”

“Red 40 is a certified color that comes from petroleum distillates or coal tars and The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandates that it has to be listed by name on food and product labels.”

“Healthline writes that according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Red 40 and other AFCs can cause allergic reactions in some people.”

“Research shows they can also cause hyperactivity in children and immune system tumors in mice.”

Wonderful.  

“Red 40 also contains p-Cresidine, which the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen (cancer forming).”

“Vani reveals that the controversial dye is also included in Quaker Strawberries and Cream oatmeal – while in the U.K., they include freeze dried pieces of actual fruit.”

You mean in the U.K. the actually use real fruit in this product?!

No wayyyyyy!

“In the U.K., Mountain Dew energy drink gets its bright yellow color from beta carotene (a natural color derived from carrots and other orange/yellow foods) but in the U.S., where the drink is manufactured by PepsiCo, it’s a different story.”

“Vani writes that its color comes from Yellow 5, aka a petroleum-based dye called Tartrazine. Much has been written about Tartrazine since the 1990s, when it was rumored to affect reproduction in males.”

So, it’s a form of birth control?

“However, to this day, most studies on Tartrazine have been carried out on rats but it is acknowledged, in general, that children who consume large doses of artificial food colorings have been affected ‘negatively’ compared to those who received less.”

When you say “rats,” are these democrats, or the actual rat animals?    

“Color: Sunny D manufacturers also utilize Yellow 5 aka Tartrazine in the U.S., whereas they do not in the U.K.”

“Spot the difference: Vani also calls out the differences between the same products when sold in the U.S. and Australia.”

“Earlier this month, the cereal company Kellogg’s responded to Vani after a petition for them to stop adding the preservative BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) and artificial food dyes to their children’s cereals.”

“While Kellogg’s said they ‘won’t sacrifice the great taste and quality’ by removing the ingredients, Vani was pleased that they had taken note of the criticism.”

“Campaign: Vani took on Kellogg’s, asking for years that they remove BHT and artificial food dyes like Red 40 included in their U.S. products but not in other countries like Canada.

“After another relentless social media campaign, Subway removed azodicarbonamide, a chemical in its bread also found in yoga mats.”

Oh, yummy!

“It’s probably cheaper to produce the US versions [there’s no doubt about that]. And the side effect of years of consuming this crap produces lots of people needing expensive healthcare. An infinite circle of profit (has anyone checked to see how many healthcare companies own food stocks and vice versa?).”

“The world is not as it seems. We are deliberately being poisoned in our air, water, and food supply.”

It’s pretty hard to argue that this isn’t the case, at this point.

COVID is over. You can take that mask off now.

That’s right…, you can take that mask off now. It doesn’t do any good anyway!

And you ain’t no Lone Ranger, no Batman, no Zorro, no Spiderman, and certainly no Captain America!

The fact of the matter is, the only people wearing masks now are criminals and chicken sh#t political activists.

That’s a fact, and we all know it.

Prior to the COVID scare, do you ever recall anyone wearing a mask, even for medical reasons?

That answer would be NO.

It is time we make the wearing of a mask illegal.

It can only help discourage some of these lowlifes from participating in some of these illegal activities, and some of these useful idiots from participating some of these in socially toxic “peaceful” protests, hateful marches, and neo-Nazi encampments.

If for some reason it is medically recommended you wear a mask, you can always have some “doctor ordered” paperwork.

Other than that, if you choose to wear a hajib around your head, it is generally not required that you cover your face.

Let’s end this face covering foolishness now.

If you’re a democrat, the question is why?

If any of you democrats out there would care to reply in a comment for all of us to read, that would be nice, but I’m not going to hold my breath waiting.

But again, if you’re a democrat, the honest question is why?

Is the right to kill babies, wherever and whenever you want, really that much of a priority for you?

Is the allowance of illegal, unvetted, immigrants coming into our country, by the millions and millions, not to mention the millions of illegals that are coming across our border that we have no idea of who they are, is such a good idea in your mind?

Is the virtually unchecked allowance of fentanyl and countless other harmful drugs that are killing people in our country every day acceptable to you?

Maybe it’s taking away women’s rights that had been fought for so long, and handing those rights over to transgender males that appeals to you.

Or could it be the weaponization of the FBI and the “justice” system against anyone who challenges the democrats’ narrative and control that pulls you towards the democrat party?

Or perhaps you are endeared with handing billions and billions of our tax dollars over to foreign countries that don’t even particularly like us?

Or could it be you support the hate being demonstrated against the Jewish people in our country, ala Nazi Germany, and calling for the death of all Israelis and the end of Israel? Is that it?

No, I know what it is! You prefer paying like 25% more for everything, while also paying for the student loans for America hating liberal punks, as well as footing the bill to support the millions and millions of illegal immigrants we now have in our country, thanks to Lyin’ Biden and the rest of the democrats.

Maybe you believe we should go back to the horse and buggy days, while coughing up trillions of dollars in a futile attempt to curtail a perceived climate change?

Or could it be you’re worried about the end of “democracy” if Donald Trump is elected? But you don’t see the current actions by the democrats that are putting an end to democracy in our country?

No, no, I know what it is. You are pleased with the “defund the police” policies, and the collection of do nothing liberal DAs, and all of the lawlessness that is being allowed to thrive in our country.

It may be you don’t feel like you’re paying enough taxes and you’d like to pay more.

Or could it be you think it’s a good idea for drag queens to perform for very young students, and for them to promote deviant sexual behavior to them? Who are the parents who sit there and watch this disgusting display, by the way? Are these the suburban women who support Lyin’ Biden that I hear about?

I know, you’re a closet pedophile and you support Biden’s and the democrats’ sex trafficking of children across the southern border. You do realize the Biden administration has “lost track” of over 80,000 children it has allowed into our country over the last three years, don’t you?

You have an uncontrollable desire to wear a mask 24/7?

Like I asked before, if you’re a democrat, the question is why?

If you really do consider yourself a democrat, aren’t you the least bit ashamed?

If you aren’t, you really should be.

Just sayin’.
