News Headlines
I hope everyone exercised their right to vote on Tuesday. I don’t care who you vote for, but you must vote if you want a voice in what goes on in our country. Your vote DOES count, and these particular mid-term elections are very important to the direction of our country.
My fear with the dems in power is that they will screw the economy up, they have no plan but to raise taxes and spend money. That is NOT a plan, it is just what they do.
The Republicans got spanked in the mid-term elections on Tuesday. Historically, it was expected, but it was much worse. Many socialists were elected. Abdul Sayed, the first Muslim elected to the US Senate. This I do not like at all, for I believe Muslims do NOT have American interests at heart. They are up to no good. Amy Acton is now the governor of Ohio. Are you kidding me? She is an idiot. Kathy Hochul wins the governorship of New York-again. That is not a misprint. The morons in new York have actually given her another term. Talarico wins in Texas…I am dazed and confused, but YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID.
The President said on Tuesday that financial aid to Israel-will stop at the end of this year because “they don’t need it.” I think its about $4 billion per year.
Ilhan Omar was re-elected. She needs to be deported. What is wrong with people? These people who vote like this are NOT American. We have big problems brewing in the USA.
Both New York and Los Angeles, America’s two largest cities are now both run by Democratic socialists (communists). What are we doing people?
On Thursday more than 600,000 people took to the streets in France (over 1.6 million in 200 demonstrations nationwide) protesting. This is all about socialism and immigration. Look around folks, coming soon to your neighborhood. How far our country has sunk. This is what liberal morals, a lack of patriotism, and a lack of accountability does to ANY country.

TEDDY ROOSEVELT ON IMMIGRANTS IN AMERICA…1907
In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag…We have room for but one language here and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
