Keep Trump out of Oval Office

President Biden made the best move of his political career when he ended his quest for a second term. Always go out on top. I have one major criticism about him. He always did preface his remarks with, “Pretty please,” when consulting other countries. This can’t be done by the president of the United States. Guaranteed, VP Harris will not make that mistake. I am Jewish and I constantly hear people saying I want rulings that are in the best interest for Israel. I could not agree more. I can’t be silent anymore. What is best for Israel is if former President Trump never, ever sets foot in the Oval Office again. We have to stop thinking with our heart and start using our God-given brains. Trump constantly uses people by throwing them a “bone” on exactly what they want to hear. Everything he says is on the premise, what is best for me. Once he gets a group of people on his side with total agreement, he knows this is for only his political gain. When it “suits” him, he’ll drop these gullible allies like a “bad habit.” He always proceeds to do only what benefits himself and couldn’t care less about any sort of repercussions. His only love is that reflection in the mirror. If you truly want a president who cares about all his constituents and will not create any divisiveness, all you need to look at is one’s character and integrity. It speaks volumes. The person I want to lead our country and the leader of the free world believes in, for all, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Not death, slavery and the pursuit of misery for too many countries in what Carl Sagan called this pale blue dot.

We are not going back

For all the normal, sane people, the choice for president is just so clear. We don’t want a president who is a convicted criminal and adjudicated rapist, who believes magnets stop working when they get wet, who mocks our troops (alive and deceased) as “suckers and losers,” who helped incite a riot in the U.S. Capitpl, who says windmills cause cancer, who whines incessantly about how unfair his life is, whose documented lies during his presidency exceed 30,000 instances, who brags about passing tests that wouldn’t thwart a 5th-grader, and who pretends everything is just so terrible in America. Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff, General Kelly, said Trump was, “A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution and the rule of law,” and “A person that has no idea what America stands for, and has no idea what America is about.”

How about Trump’s running mate? Vance is a political lackey supported by tech-bro billionaires, he’s a guy who used to say Trump was “America’s Hitler” and for some reason, Vance attacks ladies with cats. Folks, it’s as weird as it sounds. Meanwhile, over on team normal, Harris chose Walz, who was a coach, a social studies teacher and a veteran. That’s about as bread-and-butter as leadership gets.

Under Biden and Harris, America never entered a recession after the pandemic. So while at least 20 countries in Europe, including both Germany and the U.K., fell into a recession, the U.S. beat all expectations in job growth and GDP. Biden and Harris brought home American hostages safe and sound so they could rejoin their families. Under Biden and Harris, the stock market today is up nearly 10,000 points past Trump’s best stock market, and double Trump’s worst. Under Biden-Harris, the U.S. is the largest producer of oil in the world. Organizations like the FBI and The Pew Charitable Trusts report that violent crime is way down, including in Philadelphia. American soldiers haven’t been deployed and have been kept safe despite two major ongoing wars. These are just the facts folks – nothing but the facts. Outside of the conspiracy-driven, grievance-ridden, hate-filled MAGA world, every normal, sane person is ready to continue moving forward. We are not going back to the madness, the chaos and the insanity.

Chaotic Kamala

The Democrats coup-ed out Senior-Moment Joe, and put in Kamala Harris as their candidate, as she declares that it’s time to choose between “freedom and chaos.”

It’s more like “free” handouts to illegals and more chaos at the border.

Harris, the border czar, along with Homeland Security Mayorkas, allowed over 10 million illegals to enter through the southern border with caravans of migrants pouring into our states each day.

And talk about free perks for the illegals that includes free health insurance, free hotel stays and free money.

So I ask you, “Where’s our free money?”

If the Pennsylvania Lottery states that it “benefits older Pennsylvanians,” I certainly don’t see it. What are they doing with all that money when some seniors are paying high copays out of pocket for their medicine and medical expenses when it should be for free?

And here comes the kicker.

Former Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey has a plan to combat our nation’s growing debt, by reducing Social Security benefits to our seniors. In other words, Kerrey’s plan for the American people is to send us out to pasture to leave us high and dry.

That’s very Marxist of you, Mr. Kerrey.

Now if that ain’t something, here’s a bigger kicker.

Don’t worry to all the Bidenettes out there, your Biden will be getting a hefty severance pay for bailing out of the race and for his 50 years in public office as he exits this coming January, a whopping $413,000 pension for his retirement.

You think any one of us working stiffs will ever see that amount of money in our retirement years?

So to the people who keep writing editorials that Trump is selfish and cares about himself, it’s obvious that Kamala and Kerrey are self-centered elites for their own party instead of helping us, the American people, who pay into the system.

We’re the suckers who don’t get an even break.

And finally, let’s talk about the chaos that the world has just witnessed.

To the smug FBI Director Christopher Wray who testified in Congress, I say, “Yes, that was a real bullet, Mr. Wray.” For some odd reason, the veteran FBI agent conveniently goes stupid to what an assassination attempt is.

It’s sickening to see and hear people out there who actually think this was all staged by Trump to get sympathy, with a shot to the head. One man died shielding his family, and Kamala has the gall to say that Trump is a threat to democracy.

Her ignorance is a threat to democracy.
