Why is it that progressives love to tell conservatives why they should not support Donald Trump, yet they ignore Joe Biden support of a family influence peddling operation and his weaponization of government against religious conservatives and his every opportunity to spread racial division. Progressives tactics distract from the stark policy differences between the two candidates, and it’s understandable why they would try to avoid that debate. Trump presided over an economy that produced high levels of employment and wage growth, low inflation and a reduction in poverty rates. America had energy abundance, and was helping our allies reduce their dependence on Russia. By exporting large quantities of liquefied natural gas. We were exporting to Poland, Ukraine and other nations. America’s border was more secure under Trump than it had been for decades, ISIS, Hamas and other terrorist organizations were decimated, or largely constrained, and our adversaries did not launch military attacks against America or our allies. Biden’s massive spending increases and regulatory onslaught have fueled inflation and increase the cost of doing business. His attack on American energy sources has increased the cost of gas and imposes massive transportation costs on all consumers by causing oil prices to rise internationally. President Biden has created greater wealth for Russia, Iran and other bad actors. America’s military was strong under Trump and our troops felt respected by their commander in chief. Biden’s woke agenda has been imposed throughout the government, including our military. His imposition of the vaccine mandates on military members ignored their objections all of their objections and led to the separation of more than 8000 service members. Biden’s actions have contributed to recruiting and retention problems, huge problems, therefore weakening our military readiness. And by ignoring the Supreme Court decision that said he didn’t have the authority to blanketly forgive student loans. President Biden has shown a disregard for the rule of law and our constitution separation of powers. He’s also created moral hazard by helping millions of students avoid personal responsibility and shifting the burden of their debt onto taxpayers who did not receive the benefits provided to those students. The Chaos we’ve been witnessing on our college campuses are yet another manifestation of declining respect for our rule of law and the rights of others. Biden and Trump have agreed to debate and those debates can’t begin soon enough. Let’s get beyond personalities and focus on the issues that matter to the American people. We will all be watching

America’s military was strong under Trump and our troops felt respected by their commander in chief. Biden’s woke agenda has been imposed throughout the government, including our military. His imposition of the vaccine mandates on military members ignored their objections, all of their objections, and led to the separation of more than 8,000 service members. Biden’s actions have contributed to recruiting and retention problems, huge problems, therefore weakening our military readiness.
And by ignoring the Supreme Court decision that said he didn’t have the authority to blanketly forgive student loans, President Biden has shown a disregard for the rule of law and our Constitution’s separation of powers. He’s also created moral hazard by helping millions of students avoid personal responsibility and shifting the burden of their debt onto taxpayers who did not receive the benefits provided to those students.
The chaos we’ve been witnessing on our college campuses are yet another manifestation of declining respect for our rule of law and the rights of others.
