Know what you’ll be getting

The coming election is not Donald Trump versus Joe Biden, it is Trump versus Kamala Harris. It’s painfully obvious Biden is not up to the job of being president, and if elected, will defer to the far left until he’s replaced by Harris.

What does it take to change a person’s mind regarding an election decision? Simply, a realization of what one has to lose.

If the left wins, don’t expect the rioting and looting to stop. It won’t, because the defunding of law enforcement and the end of cash bail espoused by Harris only encourages it to spread.

Taxes will go up, companies will once more go offshore, jobs will be lost, energy independence will disappear, religion and gun rights will be attacked, the Supreme Court will be packed, the Green New Deal will dominate policy, and our nation will move toward socialism with a weakened U.S. Constitution.

You think this is nonsense? Look at the Democratic Party platform. Notice the reluctance of the media to ask pointed questions, and the candidates’ unwillingness to answer the ones asked by the right.

Biden is an afterthought, and Harris will not suddenly become moderate. There’s an old saying: “The devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.”

Don’t like Trump? OK, but honestly look past personality to accomplishments. What do you stand to lose in four more years with him?

Now do the same for Harris. I go back to the time of Roosevelt and my first vote during the Kennedy days and can honestly say, this is the most contrasting choice election I have experienced. I can only hope an informed electorate votes.

and 4 on them. Also, you must do a tear test. If they tear in a straight line, they must be thrown in a landfill.

And no, plastic bags aren’t made into other things. They’re sent to stores to be reused as bags again until they all eventually get into landfills. Plastic bags aren’t made into carpets or other things. Only 10 percent of all plastics can be made into other things, and it’s much cheaper to make things from virgin plastic from oil rather than from recycled plastic.

Plus, plastic cannot be recycled indefinitely; it deteriorates too badly. The best way to get rid of the plastic problem is not to use it. Substitute. And vote “yes” on Ballot Measure 2A.

candidate until now. The journal published a blistering editorial taking Trump to task over his handling of the pandemic.

The journal’s editorial, titled “Dying in a Leadership Vacuum,” urged voters to oust Trump for failure to lead on coronavirus. All 34 of the journal’s editors wrote: “We have failed at almost every step!”
