President facing double hurdle

By
Gary Reid, Publisher Emeritus

President Trump is facing a double hurdle in his campaign to win re-election.

First, is the COVID-19 pandemic, and second is the worldwide depression, which was caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The economic damage caused by the disease has taken down the robust economic conditions that the Trump policies had created before the Chinese pandemic struck.

America’s left, including major media, academia, and a bloated bureaucracy including all the leeches that depend on big government to retain their fat lifestyles, is using the coronavirus to force a calamity that will destroy President Trump.

One example is Los Angeles, California, shutting down all schools until after the election, ignoring the damage that will cause to children.

A healthy America is not the concern of the left – only gaining power.

The damage caused by increasingly invasive government is revealed in the shutdown created using the coronavirus – millions of businesses closed (likely forever), shortages of many every-day products, including toilet paper and cleansing supplies.

With the constant negative drumbeat by the major media, which has revealed itself as a wing of the international left, Trump’s approval ratings have struggled since he first took office.

Democrat handlers of the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris campaign have strategized from the first to create a nationwide rejection of the person they hate, Donald Trump.

They also hate us. Trump’s policies have resonated with a solid core

Trump’s policies have resonated with a solid core of Middle America: secure our borders, extricate America from endless wars while strengthening our military, pro-life, low taxes, less regulation and a constitutionally sound judiciary.

Note: Trump has appointed 200 federal judges, and two Supreme Court justices, much to the anguish of the Left, which wants the law to be what it wants it to be at any given moment.

An interesting sidelight of the national party conventions was the failure of Democrats to even mention the disastrous rioting going on in many large cities where solidly left-wing administrators routinely called them “mostly peaceful demonstrations” and turned the rioters loose.

The major media trolled the mostly peaceful fantasy despite billions of dollars of damage to private and public property, numerous killings, destruction of national monuments and attacks on police nationwide.

The choice this election year is plain: Freedom or Socialism.

This isn’t just us saying this. Marxist Angela Davis has gone on record this way in an interview with Vanity Fair:

The mayhem unleashed on America’s cities by Black Lives Matter, antifa and others is laying the groundwork for a larger revolution to bring about radical change to the capitalist system, she said.

“Sometimes we assume the most important work is the dramatic work — the street demonstrations. I like the term that [Marxist cultural critic] John Berger used: Demonstrations are ‘rehearsals for revolution,’” Davis told filmmaker Ava DuVernay in the Vanity Fair interview.

The Left, funded by billionaire socialists – George Soros and others (what is their plan?), obviously feels enough Americans have been conditioned by years of increasingly intrusive government to the point they will accede to a fully socialist system.

Socialism is a deadly disease. It has dealt misery across the globe wherever it has been employed.

As for this writer, he will vote for freedom – Donald Trump – in the hopes that America will remain the “land of the free” for his (and your) children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren forever.

This is the most important election in the nation’s history.

The Left will not end its campaign to take over America but Trump’s election will hold it off for now.

Loss of freedom is imminent if the destructors get their way.

The solution at this point is to vote – in person if possible.

If you can’t be sure to write your county election for an absentee ballot, which must be returned in time to count in the Nov. 3 election.

And encourage your friends and relatives to vote.
