To the editor:

Reasons not to vote Democrat in November: 8.5 percent inflation; high gas prices; 50 percent higher heating and electric bills for your home; and 4 million illegal aliens, who are not even sneaking, just strolling, into America since Biden took office. We Americans pay for, illegals, who don’t need face masks or vaccinations, but our school children do. There’s been an unprecedented increase in crime, 300 deaths a day from fentanyl, and a stock market sufficiently lower than when Trump left office — since Biden’s reign, the market has lost 7,000 points, How’s your 401(k) doing?

More reasons not to vote for progressives: They’re charlatans; liars; anti-American; and they distract, distort, leak and cheat to obtain their goals. To divert from their failed policies, they scream and dance to distract us from their inane agenda but American families still grocery shop, fill their cars, heat their homes and are fearful of Democratic pro criminal policies, and we’ll remember.

Republicans are smarter than Biden voters — just ask yourself if you are better off after two years under Biden. If you say yes, you’re a dumbocrat with no reasoning powers. If you believe Biden’s policies are working, move to Venezuela; if not vote red. MAGA voters don’t necessarily love Trump, they love his policies, ideas and patriotism.

The billionaires on Martha’s Vineyard, a sanctuary city, claim they don’t have money or facilities to handle 50 illegal aliens, and had them shipped to an Army base within 24 hours of landing there, faster than Barack Obuma’s response to Benghazi.

“Someone is going to have to give up their piece of the pie so others can have more.” This quote from first lady Michele Obama who hates America. Which one of the following is she giving up — her $12 million mansion on Martha’s Vineyard, $9 million mansion in Hawaii, $8 million mansion in D.C. or $2 million mansion in Chicago? Wonder what mansion she was in when she said this?

Here’s an example of unsubstantiated accusations by progressives to fit their narrative: Marjie DeFede’s letter of Aug. 13 (“There’s nothing to hide.”) She writes of a meeting several years back and states, “Bardone and a group of men infiltrated … tried to intimidate members…had to be escorted out for their behavior.” The group of men consisted of Chuck White and myself. Her concept of group of men? (A professor, his two sons arrived later.) We signed in, did not clandestinely infiltrate. When asked to introduce ourselves DeFede interruped me saying, “You’re lucky we let you in.” I replied, “Why wouldn’t you?” Her idea of intimidation? At the end of the meeting we departed with everyone else. It just didn’t happen her way.
