Your post was interesting, Pome Lover. I liked the way
you formatted the lines/words. You gave specific examples
to help readers understand your points. I have not researched
and studied most of these points. However, I do believe the
USA is headed for disaster at the hands of politicians who
care nothing for anyone but themselves.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

    Thanks, Jan!
    And now, they're planning on doing away with cash and substituing some form of traceable money, I'm not sure crypto currency will be it, but something where everyone can be tracked and the gov't can manage and even conviscate whatever they want. If you haven't already, check out the World Economic Forum and its goals. They are deliberately planning our destruction.

I do agree with you. I just hope the Republican party doesn't splinter. Your piece is well written. I like the use of different fonts for emphasis. I do not see any room for improvement.

    Thank you, ma'am!
    I hope so, too. Some people really hate Trump - the difference is those who hate OBama and Biden, don't have a voice in our media.
    I do not understand why there isn't a law requiring the media to be impartial, and just give us the news without their opinions!!!!

Biden was a puppet of Obama. They want socialism, not capitalism. That means we fought in Vietnam for no reason. We were against communism but now we want socialism?

Actions speak louder than words. The Democrats vote early and count late mail-in ballots to overturn elections. It's called voter fraud. Americans have been taught in school, from first grade to 12th - to vote for the democrats! I had a teacher in high school that would tell us to vote democratic. Students have been brain washed to believe in the myth, "Democrats are for the poor and the Republicans are for the rich.

Answer this, why is inflation, gas, and taxes higher than when we had the Trump Administration? Hello people! There are rich Democrats! Do a little research. They get rich getting elected.

Why does Trump wanna run again? He is rich, he has power. Why waste his last golden year's when he could be drinking mai tais cocktails in Fiji? The answer is that he cares about America. And people spit on him for being arrogant and a big mouth.

I know a lot of big mouths. It's Ok for others to be a big mouth. What matters the most? Being a big mouth or actually helping out this country?

The American soldiers were spit on coming back from Vietnam.

Americans have been brain washed. They been taught to vote for Democrats their entire life. No words or evidence will change their minds because they don't have their own minds. They believe what the professors teach them in college. Vote for the Democrats! They for the poor. Wake up America! You can't do math? Inflation is sky high and gas. Who can afford a fracking electric car.

Right! Shut down the oil refineries. Quit pumping petroleum! Oil. Americans will foot the bill until the Green Deal takes effect in about 20 years.

You can't change a brain washed person's views. It's branded into their minds. I wouldn't run for president again if I was Trump. Lot of ignorant Americans don't understand or appreciate him.

Let's let the drug dealers and bad hombres through the border. Kids are dying from fentanyl overdose. Terrorist cells probably came too. It's easy. Just vote democratic illegal aliens.

Go ahead rich people. Vote for the Democrats. They are not poor.

    Thanks for the 6! And you're right. Have you read about this? Biden's order: This is a quote from the news.
    "Biden?s Executive Order 14067 could pave the way for a social credit system just like China. In China, if you say the wrong thing on social media, forget to pay a bill, or even play music too loud?
    You get labelled as "untrustworthy". They can then take away your ability to travel? Restrict your internet access? And deny your family the best schools or jobs? They can even take away your pets."
    Isn't that just dandy!!!
reply by BOO ghost on 18-Nov-2022
    Yep. Socialism is one leap to communism. America has always been against communism. Yet, we are headed this way! The ignorant generation has grown up. America is not the same country like it used to be because of liberal Democrats who are in Congress to get rich and gain power.

Great job of laying out how things stand. I agree we were in much better shape with Trump as president. However. I think it's time for him to retire from politics and let a younger generation take over. The same thing goes for Biden. The Republicans have a much better group waiting in the wings than the Democrats. It's an embarrassment for Biden to be told which reporters to call on during those rare times when he answers questions. I can't believe that people put issues like climate change and abortion above crime, high prices, and the border crisis. The young people get brainwashed in college. Socialism is okay with them. We've got a real problem in this country. You did a great job of making your case in this. Unfortunately, people aren't likely to change their point of view and will continue to vote for the likes of Lori Lightfood. judi

    I like DeSantis a lot, and I think he would be good, too. Some one on the news had this to say about him, yesterday, that he would not "clean the swamp" because he would want to be re-elected. That is a good point. But you're right. Nobody is going to change the way they think. I do get upset by these people who HATE Trump and have the media to express their opinions. What about those who despise Biden and OBama, but have no mouthpiece. I also don;t understand why there isn't a law that says the media must be impartial and just report the news. period.
reply by judiverse on 18-Nov-2022
    You're welcome. I saw on the news today that the DOJ had appointed a special counsel to investigate Trump. But we must not investigate Biden and his son. I don't know why people keep voting for the same old candidates. judi

I never get into criticism of government or accolades for, one man alone can't really do much, but they get either the brickbats or praise, that is their lot, but they fall well short of being gods. But I certainly don't think they can really be responsible for prosperity or poverty, emotion drives opinion, pretty well like support for a football team. Beautifully written though, blessings Roy

    thank you sir, but I have a question, if you don't mind, to clarify your statement. You don't think there was a reason we had prosperity under Trump, and now we're in a total mess, economically? You don't give our past Pres. credit for the good life we had two years ago? I'm not arguing, Roy, truly, just curious.
    Emotion may drive opinions, but it doesn't produce prosperity.
    There is a list of all the good things for this country that he did - facts. And after all the hell the media and the Left put him through, he certainly isn't running again for the accalades. He wants to save this country from the socialists. And I'm deathly afraid that it could be too late.
    But I thank you for your kind words.

    If good, (or bad presidents) drive economies, why does one need congress, senates or for that matter, a federal financial institution, they can?t make it rain during droughts, it makes a whole host of factors for prosperity, is he God?
reply by the author on 18-Nov-2022
    Roy, you know no President could manage it all by himself. The founding fathers set it all up to work together. And no, he doesn't think he's God. In fact, when he became President he listened to all the advisors and consulted them and I'd like to know one thing he did for this country that you think was bad? and one thing Biden has done that you think is good.

    I have no affiliations or opinions over any man, party or philosophy, you should know that by, they are only men, none of them are the hope of man.

    well, since we live in this world, in this country, it would be good to have trustworthy and patriotic leaders if possible. I don't think God put us here to just sit back and do nothing about the world around us. And I don't think He minds differing opinions, though the Left certainly seems to. I think God approves of strength and courage to make things better. Don't you, Roy?

    I never said I don?t think, nor did I say I don?t care, but I will not sit in judgement, nor will I curse any man, do you walk in their shoes, and do you really know what they think? Only God knows.
reply by the author on 19-Nov-2022
    I'm not talking about judging, and I don't walk in anybody's shoes, (doing good to walk in my own), but I do form opinions by peoole's actions more than words.
reply by royowen on 19-Nov-2022
    I don?t live in your country, but I do care. Democracy is based on the people, If they are good, the government will be good, you are simply biased, you?re not interested in what anyone else says or thinks, you?ve decided you are right?we will see.
reply by the author on 19-Nov-2022
    Roy, If you don't live here, I'm sorry but you have no idea what we are going through right now. I believe it's you who aren't willing to "listen to me." I don't know anyone in our politically divided country who isn't biased. I do know honest from dishonest and what we have running this country is a dishonest administration. Biden and his son have been paid by China, and yet he says They haven't. (There is proof) Now that the Conservatives have the House, there is an investigation going on of them both, but you watch, nothing will come of it, just like with Hillary Clinton. I do keep up with what's going on in my country because I love this country and worry about the path it has taken.
reply by royowen on 19-Nov-2022
    I?ve heard that Trump was in collusion with Putin, but you?ve decided which accusation is worse, if it was absolutely true about Biden, his opponents would move against him I?m sure. I?ve also heard the multiple accusation against trump, but I don?t allow accusation to force me to judge, Jesus was likewise testified against, was He guilty also?

I'm only getting into this because of the money, more or less. Mostly less...I can't stomach Trump. He is a liar, cheat and bigot. He is also a womanizing bastard. Excuse my french, please. Biden may not be perfect and no one is but I feel this country lost the respect with Trump. I know you and I have had this discussion before and agreed to disagree. Let's do it again. Shirley

    Well, Shirley, Biden has ruined this country. I think that is the more heinous crime. I would prefer strength and old fashioned manners, but the trouble we're in, I'll take strength and "can-do" patriotism any day.

President Trump announced, today, his intent to run for President in 2024.
I stopped reading at this point.
We have one President. He is not named Trump.
I award the five stars out of a sense of fairness, though I have no idea whether the piece is excellent or not.

    Mr. Fowler, on the news, they call all past presidents "President," when they refer to them. And the president we presently have has ruined this country.
    I do thank you for the 5, however.

What is especially scary to me is the way they think they can control what we do with our money, and even how and where we choose to store it. I use banks a minimum these days, possessions even less. I have a personal agenda that I hope is unfathomable. Kate xx

    well, I am not for anyone or any entity that wants to control anything I do or say. If you want to be unfathomable, that is ertainly your right. Biden and friends are determined to take over our lives. We need some one strong as Presidrent and strong members of the House of Representatives.

One thing you might ask yourself to determine Trump's sincerity in "saving America" is: why did he announce his bid for the 2024 presidential election at this time? Why now? He could have easily waited until the Senate runoff between Warnock and Walker was over. So why didn't he?

As it stands Trump is accused of stealing from the Herschel Walker campaign with deceptive fundraising emails. It is also worth noting the Trump family signed a deal with Saudi real estate developer behind a $1.6 billion hotel and golf resort deal in Oman on Tuesday this week. How many trademarks does Ivanka Trump have in China now? The Chinese government granted a total of 41 trademarks to companies linked to Ivanka Trump by April of 2019.

When Trump was defeated in the 2020 election, he left office having added $7.4 trillion to the accumulated national debt in a single term, moreover the US never stopped importing oil, farmers were given enormous government payouts (socialism by the way) by the Trump administration to counter the deleterious effects of Trump's trade war with China. Grocery stores around the world started experiencing shortages because of the pandemic that had nothing to do with the POTUS.

I don't mind that Trump is running again, even though I think he's too old for the intellectual and physical rigors of the job, but I don't believe for one second, he is doing so because of a great love for his country.

Thanks for sharing. My only suggestion to enhance the validity of your arguments is to add footnotes and resource materials.

Gloria
