Those on the left who continue to blast President-elect Trump as being a “rapist,” (unproven), “convicted felon” (in the most anti-American counter-constitutional trial in history”) and an“insurrectionist” (100 % false) are living in a fantasy world created by their blind devotion and belief in a biased and corrupt mainstream media. A majority of your fellow citizens disagree with you and with the troubling, often perverse anti-American policies of the DNC.

In world history, St. Paul was a sinner who mercilessly persecuted Christians until a vision from God converted him to become one of the great exponents of love, virtue and humanity. God is able to convert the most unlikely of sinners. Our creators’ inspiration has long influenced American leaders.

The overwhelming Trump victory has reaffirmed the beliefs of common sense Americans.

There are two sexes – period. Children should not be educated on sexual techniques in grade school. We should not hire or promote people based on race, sexual preference or to meet a quota. The excellence of performance should be the deciding factor. This rule applies to all positions – particularly our military.

Elected legislators should write our laws – not bureaucrats hired to achieve a political agenda.

The Stars and Stripes and a state flag are the only symbols to be flown on government property. Period.

The American Judicial System must be blind to everything but facts. It must never be used to persecute political opponents. This is not to say that legitimately proven crimes by any political figure shouldn’t be punished.

Crime of any kind must be punished using laws that protect victims, not feelings of sympathy or “understanding” for the criminal.

Our protections under the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the principles of the Declaration of Independence cannot be infringed upon for any reason. That includes free speech, the right to bear arms and religious freedom.

American participation in foreign wars should be limited exclusively to Congressionally approved treaties or declarations of war.

Tax dollars must be used for the benefit of those paying the taxes, not distributed to foreign nations or to promote a political or social agenda.

Those who’ve served in the military deserve our everlasting respect and support.

We welcome legal immigrants based exclusively on their ability to enhance the quality of life in our sovereign country and their solemn promise to absorb and adopt the heritage of America.

Rare exceptions can be granted to protect individuals subjected to real persecution. That protection should not be considered permanent.

Research shows that under American soil is the largest supply of fossil fuel on the planet. We should use it to become the world’s dominant energy supplier. One benefit could include total elimination of income taxes.

Trump is placing younger, wiser, highly capable individuals into government positions. Compare his picks to the incompetent DEI selections of Biden. We will see significant common sense decision making in the months ahead. Democrats and bureaucrats will complain because they’re monopoly of the government and the undue monetary benefits they’ve received are rapidly coming to an end. Schumer, Warren, McConnel and their ilk must pass into history.

I believe that the next four years will see unprecedented economic growth, a gradual return to excellence in education, lower taxes and higher wages, and an attitude of optimism and spirit of Patriotism.

As America prepares to celebrate the 250 birth of this great Consitutional Republic, let us all thank God for our privilege of living in this great land which is once again “the land of the free, and the home of the brave.”
