Opinion and Commentary By Donna A. Westfall – July 21, 2022
President Biden will NOT be running for a second term. He’s done. With less than four years difference between Biden and Trump, the disaster during their debate three weeks ago made all the difference in the world. Democrats were withholding money. Democrats were pressuring the aging Biden to step aside. Today, that became a reality.
What is staggering to the human mind is his statement about, “Today, America has the strongest economy in the world.” And on and on it goes from there.
Listen, from his first day in office, he was off and running turning our nation into a third world country. Stopping the Keystone pipeline. Later on shoving electric vehicles down our throats. His greatest faux pas, letting in millions of illegal aliens. His biggest mistake, the way he left Afghanistan and all of our military equipment. Inflation the highest in 20 years. Interest rates the highest in 20 years.
Food prices, gas prices and more going up, up and up. It’s a wonder he’s lasted this long.

What could be worse than Biden? Is it Kamala Harris?

One can hardly wait for the Democratic Convention in August. It’s sure to be a real page turner.
Should have seen all the equipment we left in Viet Nam after we abruptly left. For one we gave them our 82 foot Patrol Boats which I served on. What really pisses me off is we left our military dogs.
I did 2 tours therel I wrote a congressman about all the refugees we brought here. His answer was basically don’t sweat it, it wouldn’t affect me. My wife applied for a job on the Navy Base and a VietNamese got it. So much for not affecting me. Plus they got money, I don’t recall how much but it was pretty good. When I got back I got dumped in the night at Travis and you know what that welcome was like.
Oh yeah, Nixon, a Republican was president.
Voting for Kamala?
How about her speaking to these statistics.
62% of Americans live from paycheck to paycheck.
1 in 4 americans skip a meal each day due to unaffordable groceries.
Middle class use to be defined a person who could afford a home, take a family vacation, and put a child through college. Now no one can afford a home, college is unaffordable, and a vacation is a thing of the past. Kamala must speak to those things.
What is her position on Israel and Hamas war? Continue to play both sides of the fence? What is her take on illegal immigrants? Continue to pay their way with free housing, education, and medical benefits off the backs of Americans living paycheck to paycheck?Lastly do democrats expect to win this election because she is black or Asian without a plan? Democrats can’t vote her in all by their selves. They need to appease to the independents. KAMALA platform is women’s health. Each state can vote for that separately now…so women must get their perspective state to speak to elective abortions. Kamala states she will successfully sue the Supreme Court of the Land to reverse their decision on Roe v. Wade. Good luck Kamala in fighting this matter when their are more important issues facing our country.
This will be the first really interesting convention since Chicago 1968. For an interesting perspective on this turn of events check out The Young Turks on You Tube or http://www.tyt.com
