Elect leaders for accomplishments
Pats get chance to host Saskatchewan, Manitoba teams
Political left and right followers probably will not change their minds about the legacy of Donald J. Trump. To the right he fulfilled every promise he made. To left he is a demon.
Should not the accomplishments a leader achieves for citizens and the world be the basis of one’s attitude toward him?
Can you think of one positive public accomplishment of Joe Biden in 47 years? Of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in five? Are we better off for their service?
What has Trump accomplished in four? Facts, not fiction or bias, please, since his covered up accomplishments should provide some indication of what he stands for.
He eliminated two of the world’s top terrorists;
Ended ISIS
Christians;
Negotiated to stop, for three years, the nuclear program and the firing of North Korean missiles near South Korea and Japan;
The first president in 51 years to not start a new war;
The first in 40 years to effectively negotiate a peace treaty between Israel and at least four Arab
slaughtering
of nations;
The lowest taxes for all Americans — ever — with the highest employment for Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Whites and women (so much for the ‘racist’ lie about him);
The removal of over 11,000 MS13 vicious gang members.
Trump was nominated for four Nobel Peace Prize awards for his peace efforts.
He worked every day for about 18 hours without pay for the American people, gave his $400,000 salary to charity each year and successfully accomplished every preelection promise he made, and far more (development of the COVID vaccine in nine months rather than eight years, ended most U.S. illegal immigration).
This he did without thanks and with scorn from half of the U.S. nation and Canada.
Citizens who are fed up with Liberal/Democratic leaders’ lies understand him, not just the altright.
He won half of the American people and increased that by 12,000,000 in the 2020 election. God grant that we had such a leader, one who would work for our liberty and not secretly bind us! Can Biden accomplish even a smidgen of what Trump accomplished? Will Trudeau? Not likely.

CALGARY — The Western Hockey League says it has approval from the Saskatchewan government to play a 24-game East Division season in a hub in Regina starting next month.
Friday’s announcement means three of the WHL’s four divisions are now cleared to start play during the COVID-19 pandemic, with only the B.C. Division lacking permission.
Seven teams in Manitoba and Saskatchewan — the Moose Jaw Warriors, Prince Albert Raiders, Regina Pats, Saskatoon Blades, Swift Current Broncos, Brandon Wheat Kings, and Winnipeg Ice — will open play at Brandt Centre on March 12.
Each team will play a 24-game season and no fans will be in attendance.
Players and staff will begin selfquarantining on Feb. 20 and will report to Regina on Feb. 27 for an additional quarantine period and testing. They must have a second negative COVID-19 test to engage in any team activity.
The WHL says it will have a weekly testing strategy during the season. If a club has one or more players or staff test positive, the club must suspend activities for a minimum of 14 days.
“The WHL appreciates the co-operation we have received from both the governments of Saskatchewan and Manitoba as we work towards a safe return to play in the East Division,” WHL commissioner Ron Robison said in a release.
“With our extensive protocols and the necessary approvals now in place, we are looking forward to play getting underway in Regina and allowing our players to continue their development at the highest level in the Canadian system.”
The WHL’s Central Division, featuring five Alberta teams, is slated to begin play on Feb, 26, while the U.S. Division gets going on March 19.
The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League is playing in hubs in Quebec and in team arenas in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, but its three New Brunswick teams remain sidelined.
The Ontario Hockey League has yet to announce plans for a season.
