Editor, Times-Union:
This year, democracy is actually on the line. Democrats are relying on people wanting to believe their lies in order to maintain control of the government.
Trump is not a threat to democracy. He is trying to protect democracy. Democracy allows people to speak their mind even if they have no mind to speak of.
When Kamala warned that Trump wanted to lock his opponents up, Bret should have mentioned that the Biden administration has been doing that for years. People who prayed in front of abortion clinics were jailed. The prenatal holocaust is considered right while those appealing to God are considered criminals. I think if Jesus were on earth today, Democrats would order his execution.
Kamala wants to do away with the Trump tax cuts we have benefitted from for years. That means Kamala wants most Americans to pay higher prices. And if she makes companies pay more in taxes, we would have to pay higher prices because Kamala would force companies to raise prices. There were no complaints of price gouging when Trump was president when companies were making higher profit margins. Inflation wasn't a problem. If Kamala is elected, we might have an economic collapse because her economic policies which failed in other countries would fail in this country.
Kamala has a track record of failure and lies that should make her a threat to America's future. She pushed for a law in California that allowed people to steal and didn't defend people who were sexually assaulted by priests because she wanted the support of priests. No wonder she didn't care that she allowed criminals to enter America to kill Americans. The immigration law she wanted passed that some Democrats opposed would have allowed more criminals to enter America. She has already allowed many futures to be canceled that Trump might have allowed to continue because he would have had their killers deported before they could murder their victims.
Trump wants Elon Musk to examine the federal budget to cut the fat out. Kamala's plans would explode the debt even more which would endanger America's future. If Trump allows more mining, especially if my plasma drilling mole is used, we could potentially pay back our national debt if the gold, silver, and strategic metals deposits found miles below the surface are reached since they are worth quadrillions of dollars. But if Kamala gets her way, we might never pay back our national debt. Future generations will condemn Kamala and those who voted for her.
A century from now when historians look back on 2024, will they say America's demise happened because Kamala was elected president or will they say Americas's greatness began when Trump was put back into the White House? Or will historians be prevented from telling the truth because President Kamala Harris passed censorship laws that forbid an honest reporting of history?
