‘What more do you need to know?’
Thursday, 26 September 2024 20:12

Almost every Democrat in Congress believes foreigners should decide who our leaders are.   

Nearly 94 percent of Democrats (198) voted against the SAVE bill in July 2024 that simply required proof of citizenship before voting to assure that in America, only citizens can vote.  

How racist!

There isn’t a country anywhere in the world that would allow non-citizens to vote in their country.  

Democrats in America know damn well that illegals might believe that they can vote, or are even citizens, because in 19 states they may be issued a driver’s license or asked if they want to vote (Clinton’s 1993 Motor Voter Law) when they get public assistance (i.e. free stuff) from taxpayers, a license or even a green card. 

If non-citizens simply believe they can vote and are not turned away at the polling place by not verifying citizenship, it’s not a punishable crime and the illegal vote will likely count.

If there are 15,000,000 illegal aliens in America getting vote-buying benefits that many taxpayers would love, why wouldn’t you vote for more? 

As Bill Press (whose work appears regularly in the Daily Plant) said about Democrat policies in a recent column (who, at this point, I would call a traitor to our nation), “What more do you need to know?”

It’s pretty sinple. If you support Democrats, you don’t support “democracy,” which requires electoral legitimacy.

Shame on all Democrats for giving away America.

Navy veteran lambasts Trump; says Harris ‘will really back us’

I served for nearly four and a half years in the U.S. Navy. 

Just like you (fellow veterans), and millions of our comrades, every day I proudly put on my uniform and did my very best to fulfill the duties assigned to me.

While Kamala Harris did not serve herself, she understands how we felt and the sacrifices we made. She will ensure that all active-duty service personnel, and veterans like ourselves, will get full support from the federal government.

But Donald Trump? 

He cares not at all about us veterans and our contributions to the nation. 

By name, he denigrated the service and captivity of John McCain, a personal hero of mine and a former shipmate. 

Many of us have buddies who made the supreme sacrifice on battlefields around the world, but when Trump visited the beaches at Normandy, he called our fallen heroes “losers” and “suckers.” 

He refuses to appear in photographs or videos with disabled vets because “they would not make him look good.” 

He called for the court-martial of the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and other senior military officers, because they did not agree with him. And, of course, there’s Trump’s latest fiasco to hold a campaign event at Arlington National Cemetery.

Trump’s own service? 

When he was of draft age, he engineered a highly controversial medical deferment so he would not be called to serve. And his five adult children? Has even one of them spent a single day in uniform?

As veterans, we cannot allow this man to become commander-in-chief once again. We need a president that truly understands what we endured and will support us right down the line. 

Project 2025, the blueprint for Trump’s next term, puts veterans’ services, especially those for disabled vets, in jeopardy and will result in hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of vets losing their jobs with the federal government.

We need Kamala Harris, who will really back us, whether on active duty or after completion of our service. And we, as veterans, can help make that happen.
