Editor, Times-Union:
Not since the Civil War has a political party caused more pain and disruption in America as the Biden and Harris administration, along with the Democrat party. It was Jefferson Davis and the Democrats, in 1861, who tried to tear the United States of America apart, causing the loss of over 650,000 lives in a failed effort to continue their practice of slavery. After President Lincoln emancipated the slaves and tried to reconstruct a torn nation, they assassinated him and went on to resist the reconstruction effort. It was the Democrat party who ushered in the Jim Crow laws and have persecuted the African American population throughout our history, trapping them with insidious legislation disguised as “the war on poverty.”
It was Bill Gates, the former Secretary of Defense under President Obama, who candidly remarked that Joe Biden has been on the wrong side of every foreign policy decision made during his 50 years of pressing his pants on a chair in Washington, D.C. ... unfortunately, he is not done. After 1,000 days of wars in Ukraine, with Russia and Ukraine exhausted like two prize fighters praying for someone to step in and stop the fight, Biden lifts the targeting restrictions on Ukraine’s use of U.S. missiles. A desperate and weary Ukraine fires six U.S. missiles into Russia in an attempt to prevent a counter offensive. The proverbial “poking the bear” just occurred with the most powerful nuclear nation on earth ... will someone please give Joe his medications!
For the many Democrat defectors who voted for Trump, I congratulate you for your courage and devotion to our country. For the Socialist left who, two weeks after the election have proclaimed their commitment to resist the president-elect and the 76 million Americans who voted for him, I ask you to drink a large glass of “shut up” juice and let us begin to heal our nation.
