Speakout
(Opinion ~ 02/11/22)
I read a message to all Republicans warning not to listen to what you hear on TV. Yes, Joe Biden’s numbers are down due to situations beyond his control concerning the pandemic. These problems exist worldwide, not just in our country. Trump incited the Jan. 6 insurrection on the Capital and recently said, if elected again, he would pardon his zombies for their loyalty. He condoned it. He wants to be like Putin and Xi Jinping of China and be in power forever. That’s not democracy. People should give a lot of thought before voting in that manner again. And God bless America, because we certainly need it.
