MY TURN: Political considerations
Octogenarian Observations 2.0
I want to thank all of you that will take the time to read this through, and think about what is right for our country.
In the past, I considered myself an independent who has voted both ways, based on observing both parties’ policies and promises. I have always made an effort to watch CNN, CBS, ABC and even The View and Cuomo Prime time, but also watch Fox News. I base my votes on truth, and which party my observations and beliefs are best aligned with, and which party best keeps their campaign promises. I would like all of you to consider doing the same and not just vote for the party you or your family have in the past. Please consider the following: Recently, most media is hard to believe.
Promises: Joe Biden promised to "unify" the country but has proven to be our most divisive president ever.
Trump was building the southern border wall, but Biden stopped it and left hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of taxpayer-funded border wall panels to rust uninstalled, but falsely claims the border is not open.
What part of "illegal" does this current administration not understand? Why are they allowing millions of illegals as well as fentanyl and terrorists into this country and want to forgive Student Loans. It is their way of buying votes, legal or not, to retain power. A president is not expected to sell out to foreign countries for tens of millions paid to Biden and his families.
Why are the millions paid to the Bidens from Ukraine, Russia, Arabs, China and others? Biden sent trillions of dollars to these countries by stopping Trump's approved oil pipeline that would have made the USA energy rich, while approving a pipe line for Putin's Russia. That also weakened the USA's position with China, Russia and Iran and Biden has depleted some of our oil reserves which are supposed to be used in our defense efforts. A military without fuel is severely compromised which is what our adversaries want. China also contributes to the Biden corruption for things like allowing the spy balloon to fly over, and all the batteries China sells for the "green new deal" electric cars that most of us don't want and can't afford. Trump would not have sold out to and was tough on China, Russia and Iran. Biden stupidly rushed the needed withdrawal from Afghanistan leaving $83 billion of military armament, plus cash for the Taliban and some dead soldiers. Shameful. The most dangerous concern for our country is the present election interference by the DOJ, FBI and exemplified by a Joe Biden speech when he said, I promise I will do everything in my power to see that Donald Trump never again holds political office. That is one time Joe Biden has spoken the whole truth. You are seeing that effort now with all the politically motivated indictments of Donald Trump, which are a real stretch when compared to what the Democrats have been allowed to do in recent history. Dual Justice exemplified.
Top secret documents: Trump as president had a right to have them and Mar-a Lago had security protection.
Biden as senator and vice president had no right to have them in the four places including his garage with no security.
Hillary's 30,000 subpoenaed emails were destroyed along with her private computer. She bought and paid for the "Russian dossier" filled with lies about Trump and even when Adam Schiff offered $1 million to the author, Christopher Steele, to corroborate it, he could not. They lied to the FISA court to illegally spy on Trump and his campaign. None of that election interference was ever indicted and pales in comparison to what's happening now.
Bidenomics has been a total disaster and corrupt Joe has been proven to be a habitual liar and has sold out our country to most of our adversaries for millions paid to his family including grandchildren, and for what possible legal service. Donald Trump is our only way back from Biden's totalitarianism attempt.
