It Seems To Me

The political atmosphere of our country saddens us when elected leaders disregard the fundamental rule of law and put aside our Constitution. Something within us says: this can’t be happening to America”. Our place in the world is weak and former allies have made pacts with those that hate us. Millions of Americans are not better off than they were two years ago. Politically, we suffer from paralysis of analysis. We’ve analyzed the problems over and over until we are sick of hearing. We’ve heard a hundred times that: “the border is no longer secure; we’re not energy independent anymore; inflation is crippling us”. Why not rally around one who knows how to correct it? 04/06/2023 12:00 AM
