    Delray Beach, Florida - There are certain absolutes in our lives, like what is up is up, and what is down is down, but not in today's crazy environment of “pretend.”

    We are told to pretend, by the lefty loons, that: (1) boys can be girls and girls can be boys (regardless what your DNA shows), and that biological males can compete against biological females in athletics: (2) we are witnessing a “peaceful protest,” when in the background of the reporter reporting on video, a business is being torched and burned to the ground; (3) the biggest threat to the United States is not Communist China, Russia or Iran, but man-made global climate change (President Biden actually said that); (4) the Keystone Pipeline is a threat to our environment, along with carbon fuels, but transporting oil by truck and rail is a far safer way to transport it, in spite of dangerous spills as a result of accidents that might not have occurred with a pipeline; (5) the invasion of illegal aliens that was coming across our southern border is not a crisis, but just a “challenge” and not a problem; (6) raising the minimum wage by government decree will not cause low-skilled workers to be unemployed as a result; also (7) spending trillions of dollars for infrastructure in a bill that spends just 10% on real infrastructure and the rest on climate change, is a necessary expenditure.

    Do the progressives (a/k/a Democrats, globalists, Marxists/Socialists/Communists) really think that most of the citizens are stupid and naive? The answer is yes, they do. Just ask the Democrat voters of New York City, who just nominated an admitted Socialist/Communist /Anti-Semite, Zohran Mamdani, as their Mayoral candidate. If elected, he will drive the city into ruin with the policies he has espoused.

    In this topsy-turvy world we live in, you must wonder how people in authority can be so wrong on practically everything that is political. A good example of that is during the four years of President Trump's first term in office, and now in his second term in office, no matter what he says or does, the knee-jerk reaction of the Democrats and the news media is that it must be bad, even if it was good for the country. They want us to pretend that President Trump is evil and shouldn't be listened to, because he is a dictator and a threat to our democracy.

    Now that we had President Biden in office for four years, the Democrats and the news media want us to pretend that whatever Biden and his administration had done was peachy-keen and good for the country. No mention is made of the various crises that had come about at the southern border, the unrest in the Middle East, the pull-out from Afghanistan, the lack of many children not attending in-person schooling during the pandemic, and no real condemnation of the wild accusations by the Squad (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Jasmine Crockett and Ayanna Pressley, along with admitted Socialist Bernie Sanders) claiming that our democratic republic is a “systemic racist country.”

    They wanted us to pretend that everything Biden did was the way to go and was good for America, but now since Biden is no longer in office, the knives are out by former apologists for him, to question what he did or didn't do, and to question his cognitive acuity while in office. The Democrats are in disarray and leaderless.

    How much longer can we pretend that everything done by the Democrats is good for the country, and that everything done by the Republicans is bad for the country? Shouldn't common sense raise its head and take hold of the silliness of the pretend world that the anarchists want us to believe in? If we continue on this path of pretend, we will become the antithesis of what our Founding Fathers gave us, “a republic, if we can keep it” (a quote by Benjamin Franklin). Pretending is fine for young children, but we must advance in the realm of reality of being adults, and see and say what is true, and not pretend that nonsense is the real thing.

    President Trump ran on a platform of common sense, and what he campaigned on, he is doing, much to the chagrin of the Democrats. Promises made and promises kept, and his poll numbers show that the majority of people are supporting him and his policies. So no amount of fear-mongering by the Democrats and their shills in the media will matter, as Trump's policies succeed in “Making America Great Again”.
