Critical election
While watching “Face the Nation, host Margaret Brennan headlined with “there’s a crisis on the southern border.” Talk about being late to the dance. Day One Joe Biden reversed almost every Trump edict
like remain in Mexico. Democrats were more than happy to let everyone in. Once Republicans gained their slim majority, Democrats started screaming about their lack of bipartisan negotiations in regards to
immigration. Trump had it fixed and as the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Biden broke it. The same thing with oil drilling and removing the tax breaks Trump put into effect.
I am almost 68 years old. I’ve lived through Vietnam, race riots, student unrest, and that was before I graduated from high school. I have
never seen this country this bad. What’s really disheartening is our media for the most part is MIA. We are being consumed by loud special interests from the far left and right.
I hope that everyone votes in 2024 and votes for common sense. Of all the so-called battles for the soul of America I believe this election is possibly the most important of my lifetime, maybe my last. Let’s keep both moving forward.

Border crisis
The porous border policy of Biden is a clear and present danger to America. Unvetted immigrants, drug traffickers and future welfare recipients are streaming across the border. We don’t need guidance from past presidents Obama, Bush and Clinton. Common sense is required. The border policies of Donald Trump had stemmed the flow of illegal immigrants crossing our border. Mexico respected the U.S. and enforced its own border to stop migration into the country. Immigrants were subject to a “stay in Mexico” policy and had to wait to be vetted by U.S. border agents. Walls on our southern border do help stop the flow of crossings. Businesses that hired illegal immigrants were punished. Biden’s policies are complicit in exasperating illegal immigration. We don’t need Obama, Bush and Clinton to come up with solutions. We need Trump.

Biden family
It is funny the Democrats have trouble distinguishing between “Influence peddling” and “legitimate businesses” in an attempt to take the spotlight off of the Biden family investigation. As the Biden family investigation starts coming together the Democrats become more desperate. I am sure there is a group of people who ignore the facts no matter how compelling.
