Freedom or tyranny

The mid-term elections will be the most critical elections in the history of our country. Americans have a choice between our God-given freedoms or the tyranny of communism. Democrats and Republicans alike have not fought back over the years hard enough to keep America-hating communists out of our government. The Democratic Party, as we knew it, has been taken over by the Democratic Socialists of America. Instead of fighting bck against these socialists the cowardly Democrats are embracing them. I believe a large percentage of Americans do not realize how dire the situation is for ...

What happened to our country?

One in seven Americans don’t have enough food; yet Congress gave tax breaks to the super rich. The US used to be known for our generosity. No longer. We bombed a wedding in Iran, killing and injuring many of the guests. We don’t know why we’re at war with Iran; yet, we have killed between 3400 and 6000, many of whom are innocent civilians like ourselves. We kidnapped Venezuela’s president and steal their oil. We dissolved the USAID, ending healthcare for 95 million; leaving millions of children hungry; and ending access to education for 23 million children. Our ...

It’s up to all of us

The upcoming midterms is not about Democrats and Republicans. It’s not about the cost of living, especially the price of gas and groceries. It’s not even about what people feel about the person, Donald J Trump. It’s about how you vote. Regardless of what letter you are affiliated with, D R I C S, you either vote R or D. It’s not Republican and Democrat, it’s your vote to Retain the republic as founded or Destroy it. Do you want to retain the Constitution and Declaration of Independence to be the cornerstones of the Republic, or do you want to destroy the foundation and replace ...

Dumb farmers

I chose the title of my letter, not because I believe that, but I wanted my neighbor farmers and friends to read this letter. Farming is one of the toughest occupations there is. There are so many variables that are hard, or impossible to control that it is tough to be successful. I have tried to be a farmer, but age, health, genetics and Donald Trump are driving me out of the business. The input cost such as fuel, fertilizer, and equipment continue to increase and Trump’s policies are a major factor. The ability to make a profit from sales of grain and beef are also at the whim of a ...

The capital militarized

President Trump’s plans for a 250ft, triumphal Arch have recently expanded and taken on a more ominous tone. Now the President wants the Arch to house “a top-grade military complex.” (NPR, 9/21) It will be “the greatest military complex in the world,” the President boasts, with large numbers of drones and roof-top snipers. (CNN, 9/22) This threatening arsenal would be in addition to the “drone port” he wants to install atop his 90,000 sq. ft. ballroom. Like the Arch, it will hold “missle-bearing unmanned aerial vehicles and armed troops.” According to the AP, ...
