Don’t be fooled by Democrats’ talk on affordability. THEY caused this crisis under Biden when going to war on fossil fuels. They opened the borders and 10 – 15 million illegal immigrants poured in, including over 300,00 unaccompanied minors. If you think it’s bad now, if they get back into power, that’s exactly what they will do again and Biden’s cumulative inflation of 22% will soar once more! No doubt the conflict with Iran has taken a toll on oil prices and has resulted in pressures at keeping inflation at bay. Thankfully, President Trump has done an outstanding job on dramatically reducing prices on prescription drugs to help offset inflation.

Democrats have made a hard left supporting radical views of the Democrat Socialists of America. The DSA is preparing a radical update to its long-term policy platform that would fundamentally reshape the U.S. government and immigration policy. Key Proposed Changes: Abolish the U.S. Senate and replace it with a system where the President and Supreme Court are replaced by an executive branch and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress. Amnesty for all immigrants in the U.S., including those currently undocumented. Defunding the Department of War. Immediate end to all deportations and free migration between countries without restrictive immigration controls. Extending full voting rights to people with criminal convictions and noncitizens. It boils down to a platform of socialism, wealth redistribution, identity politics, wokeism, sanctuary policies, soft on crime, TDS. No real solutions, no polices, no integrity, no leadership, no talent, no hope, no joy, no love for America.

The key players in the DSA include: Abdul El-Sayed, Hasan Piker, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Claire Valdez, Janeese Lewis George, Nithya Raman, Aber Hawas, there are many more… these are the big names. The DSA wants completely open borders, eliminate ICE, no deportations, defund police, Medicare for ALL, tuition free higher education, economic redistribution, government owned grocery stores, green new deals, support “Palestine”… these are just a few. These people call themselves socialists, but they are actually communist in their thinking. Their views are pretty much the same views as the “moderate” Democrats (if there is such a thing any longer). Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries welcome in these radicals to join the “Big Tent” Party.

Please America, I beg you to investigate what the Democrat Party has done in the past and will do again. This is NOT the party your father knew, nor the party of RFK. It is crucial we keep Republicans in power so that America can continue to move forward.
