Back in the 1960’s Juan Marichal of the San Francisco Giants high leg kick was so distracting that many batters got lost in the delivery and forgot to concentrate on what is important. Stick to your process, remember what makes you a good hitter, don’t get caught up in the leg theatrics, look for the ball.
President Trump’s pitch to some in the voting public can be construed as abrasive and arrogant. To those that feel that way, please stick to your process of evaluating what is best for me, this country and our children. Trump’s track record during his presidency was exactly what he campaigned on; lower taxes, a better economy, more jobs and a safer living environment.
Delivery is just the first step in analyzing our presidential candidates. I digress for this analogy. I worked for the company that invented Bubble Wrap in 1960. Selling inside the carton protection packaging for almost 33 years lent itself to seeing several damaged outer cartons, but because of the protective packaging inside, the product was still in excellent shape. Hence it is vitally important to check out the product to make sure what was delivered has the benefits promised before total acceptance. Additional research on history of past performance and consistency of leadership bolsters one’s reasoning.
To some President Trump comes across in a way that people either are not comfortable with or they just wish he would stick to the issues only. They might possibly wish there was a candidate that was not so direct and was more of a politician. The problem is we have way too many politicians and not enough men and women in Congress that want to work together for the betterment of the United States. Power is an aphrodisiac and Washington D.C. needs a thorough cleansing. Keep in mind that no matter who is the Conservative Candidate our ridiculously highly liberal media will do anything in their power to destroy the creditability of the candidate via slander.
I wrote the following in a blog article in October 2020 before our last presidential election.
“This presidential election comes down to a few key points. Do you want to continue your right to pursue the American Dream of success through your own hard work rather than by chance. Or do you want Joe Biden and more big government that will dictate what your freedoms will be. Do you want more money in your take home check or less job opportunities because Joe Biden will tax us into a recession. A true patriot defends our country against detractors or enemies. In order to do that you need a strong military and adequate law enforcement budgets. Donald Trump wants us to feel safe at home. Do some research on Joe Biden and see how scary his policies would be on defending our country.”
This article is not about who is right or wrong. It is about saving our country and reporting facts.
Two of the most important issues for this election year are:
- Inflation / Economic Policy
Found on forbes.com, here is the United States Annual Inflation Rate % for 2021-July 2024 (Compare it to 2017-2020)
Source- World Bank
Biden / Harris Trump / Pence
2021 4.7% 2017 2.13%
2022 8.0% 2018 2.44%
2023 3.7% 2019 1.81%
July 2024 2.9% 2020 1.23%
Total 19.3% Total 7.61% 250 % HIGHER INFLATION under Biden / Harris with No Proven Plan in sight to improve the Economy
What are you paying for a lunch in a restaurant in 2024? Is your monthly grocery bill considerably higher now? What absolutely floors me is the liberal community calls themselves so compassionate for others yet do they do not know this economy has devastated so many hard working middle of the road and less fortunate families. I guess if you have coin, you don’t feel and understand the true impact.
2. National Security
10 million illegal immigrants have entered this country under the Biden Administration and supposedly Vice President Harris was in charge of border security. Then from Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner, “Illegal immigration tab: $ 182 billion total, $ 1,156 per taxpayer,” “As America struggles to meet the countless societal needs while facing the realities of our staggering $ 31 trillion national debt (actually $ 36 trillion now), the costs of providing for millions of people who have no legal right to be in the United States continues to grow at an alarming rate,” said Dan Stein, president of FAIR, in a statement. To make sure we are all knowledgeable with the facts, please look at the data put out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in late September stating tens of thousands of illegal immigrants have serious criminal convictions. Where is the legitimate concern by the current administration?
If President Trump was granted immunity by this slanted liberal mainstream media and I mean by immunity, protection from defamation, the polling would be dramatically different. So many of Harris’ policies are completely opposite to her stance for the first 3 ½ years of being Vice President. Why hasn’t the Biden / Harris administration enacted anything that would affect inflation, border control and global security? Only now is Harris talking about these major problems which conspicuously corresponds to our National Election in less than 30 days.
I just took off my flip flops after returning from the beach and of course I found sand. Vice President Kamala Harris’ flip flops only have room for the saying, What Do I Have To Say Today To Get Elected?
Donald Trump does not waiver. Trump states exactly what he will do, as he did in 2016 and the United States of America received the positive results during his presidency.
Delivery may temporarily obstruct some but I am confident the concerned Patriotic American who investigates the truth will vote for the candidate, who will reduce inflation, control our borders so those coming in legally will pay their fair share and he will keep our military strong to keep us safe globally. That candidate that will provide our children and grandchildren with a better future is Donald Trump.
Amen Bob. I watch the “hard hitting” interviews that Kamala does and I hear her say she was in on all of the big decisions made by Joe Biden. Then she puts out campaign ads saying how she will fix the economy, border etc. True liberal way, break something, blame someone else then say you are going to fix it with the same policies that broke it in the first place. Paying billions of dollars to foreign countries to secure their borders while simultaneously opening our borders to criminals, terrorists and drug cartels. I hope everyone will think about the direction we’re heading now versus where we were during the last administration.
So well said John! I hope all voters read the facts and check their pocket books.
Robert, boy you just couldn’t help yourself, could you? I just read another of your very well written blogs and I love the way you were able to put facts out but not try to encourage anyone as to which way they should vote. I believe voting is a very personal right and I have never tried to sway someone’s choices. We all get the same news and facts and by Election Day we should know how or for whom we will vote. Opposition is a great thing and a way to learn. You and I are more alike than you know, anyway, keep writing my dear friend. Write on!
Thank you Richard for your thoughts and support! I am glad we are more alike than I know. In your comment stating we all get the same news and facts, there is grave concern that depending on your source the spin or misuse of content can dramatically alter and sway people’s opinions.
