Democrats are preventing our democracy from functioning. A minority of the Senate is holding up President Trump’s nominations. President Trump was overwhelmingly elected to be president, but Democrats are thwarting the will of the American voters. Democrats are turning democracy on its head.

Dr. Vernon Ross Jr., I ask you, what kind of president never fires anyone? Not one bureaucrat, not one cabinet member, not one general, etc.? A weak president. What kind of president allows the unfettered use of his autopen to sign pardons, executive orders, correspondence, etc.? A weak, unengaged,dementia-ridden president. He was a real threat to our Democratic Republic.
Any physician, pharmacist, or counselor engaged in vaccine guidance for pregnant women must understand that failure to disclose the hybrid clinical research nature of pediatric vaccination, especially during pregnancy, places them at risk of violating both the letter and the spirit of US federal law. The protections afforded are not optional, and failure to include them into practice is an ethical and regulatory breach of law. Did you get Gov. Shapiro?

To RealAmerica: If you were referring to the likes of Dr. Anthony Fauci, when you referenced “scientists, historians, economists, scholars, and journalists have devoted their entire lives to deceiving you,” you were spot on. I will take the “TV star” with all his transparency any day over anything the liberal socialist Democrats have to offer.

If you tell the truth, Trump will fire you. If you lie to make TACO look good, your job is safe. But it’s much more than that. It’s putting lives in danger. Many people will die if brainworm Kennedy gets his way. And the lies about the jobs numbers and the economy? Do you really think Trump cares? He’s only worried about his image.
Remember when Presidents put their assets in blind trusts to avoid the appearance of corruption? Remember the “dog and pony” show of Trump’s table full of binders of blank paper, first term, as Trump “turned over” control of his company to his sons? Remember when he created a blind trust of his assets in his second term? No, you don’t. Odd how his wealth has skyrocketed in a few months. Has yours?
Jay Miller, your recent letter listed groups of people who would not be able to vote if mail-in ballots were eliminated. You mentioned members of the military and people who travel, as well as people with mobility problems. Have you ever heard of absentee ballots? They have been around for decades. These people have always been able to vote by absentee ballot and could continue to vote with or without mail-in ballots.

Take a good look at Trump’s Cabinet. It is the most ridiculous bunch of unqualified knuckheeds ever assembled. Throw Trump into the mix, and you have a recipe for disaster.
Stay Tuned!
Democrats were complaining about the cost of Obamacare when RFK Jr. was testifying before the Senate. Didn’t the Democrats promise that Obamacare was making healthcare affordable and even named it that? We warned them that it wasn’t going to be affordable. Now they want to blame Trump because it isn’t affordable. Democrats own the disastrous Obamacare.

It was Óscar R. Benavides, who served as President of Peru during the 1930s, who said, “For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the Law.” Who says Trump is not a student of history?

Looks like Patriot54 is already throwing his support behind Greasy Gavin Newsom as the Democrats’ candidate for 2028 — that is, until some other less qualified himbo surfaces who has an even worse resume than Nancy Pelosi’s pretty nephew Gavin.

I saw a montage of clips of every TV station making fun of Trump’s statement that COVID came from the Wuhan Institute. Dr. Fauci denied he was involved with any of it- a blatant lie! My question to anyone out there: When is a so-called journalist going to say they were wrong and apologize? No one ever does that! The same with Obama’s Russia collusion. No one even covered that one!

I can’t be silent on the matter of Dr. Lisa DeNell Cook. I stand with her in her fight against the attempt by President Trump to remove her from her position as a Federal Reserve Board of Governors without due process. President Trump purported to fire Dr. Cook “for cause” when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. Governor Cook deserves due process!

Finally, we are waging a real war against the drug cartels. Using the Navy to blow drug runners out of the water was outstanding. Interdicting precursors to meth was a beautiful move by the Trump administration. Putting sanctions on Chinese companies that are providing these chemicals was brilliant. Trump is taking bold, decisive action.

Hey KC, only 300 folks faced federal prosecution for months and months of “Summer of Love” riots versus 1,575 for 3 hours on Jan 6. Billions of property damage during the “Summer of Love.” Scores killed, hundreds, if not thousands, injured. Most charges dropped by Democrat prosecutors. We have no way of knowing if the Autopen did or didn’t issue pardons.
You can’t make this stuff up. The taxpayers of the Muhlenberg School District provide every student with a free breakfast and a free lunch, regardless of their financial need. My friend’s son gets off the bus and goes straight to the canteen to get Pop-Tarts. Then, at 8:00 AM, they all head to the cafeteria for breakfast, and again at noon for lunch. The retired, widows and widowers, etc., all foot the bill for this. Outrageous.

If Barack Obama can be awarded a Nobel Prize for being America’s first bi-racial president, then there’s no reason why Donald Trump shouldn’t get one for being America’s first MAGA president.

Our country is better off today than it was a year ago. End of story!
Say it ain’t so. Rumors have Taylor Swift performing at the Super Bowl halftime show. It’s bad enough we have to see her every 5 minutes at games she’s at. But please don’t make us have to listen to her sing.
I heard Amazon got approval for “drone delivery.” Now there can be “skeet shooting,” with prizes!
