The fire of socialism is spreading across our country. The far left and the Democratic Socialist Party are striking the matches.

In the state of New Jersey, they have a socialist/communist who is running for Congress by the name of Adam Hamawy. He had tied with a convicted terrorist who had the nickname Blind Sheikh, who was the mastermind of the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. Hamawy even testified on behalf of the sheikh at his trial.

In the state of Maine, they have a socialist running for Senate by the name of Graham Platner. He is plagued by numerous scandals concerning women and more are coming every day. He denies them all, of course. He has said that a United States military veteran who was severely injured and was given a Purple Heart should have been killed. For years he has had a Nazi hate symbol on his chest but claims he did not know what it meant — come on, man!

The so-called Democratic Party is 100% behind these two and many others who share their ideology. The Democrats want supreme power and will step on anyone who stands in their way. They have no respect for America, our people, our freedoms or our way of life. This fire must be stopped and quickly extinguished, or we may start smelling smoke in our neighborhood.

Is there a civil war brewing? SOme think so, I hope not.

I strongly believe we need to protect our Second Amendment rights now more than ever.

God bless America!
