Dems are to blame for Trump’s landslide win
I would like to personally offer a sincere thank you to America’s Democratic Party. Note I said Democratic Party, because there is nothing democratic about the Democratic Party! And, well, they’ve done it again.
Their genuine inability to govern has again elected the most unelectable politician in the nation. The Johnson administration elected Richard Nixon. The Carter administration elected Ronald Reagan, And of course, the Biden/Harris administration have elected a politician who they proclaimed was Hitler in the form of Donald Trump!
The Democrats seem to always be on the wrong side of every issue. The open border. Allowing transgender women to compete against biological women in women’s athletic competitions. How they handled the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Shutting off energy production. Climate change.
President Biden promised to unify America, but all he provided was division and hate. If you think I’m wrong in my theory, how do you explain the complete evisceration the Democrats suffered at the hands of President-elect Donald Trump and the Republicans?
The Democrats lost the House of Representatives, they lost the Senate. Harry Reid eliminating the judicial filibusterer paved the way for the packing of the Supreme Court. Like I said, the Democrats just govern badly.
Even now, Democrat governors and big city mayors are vowing to block the deportation of illegals that are criminals, that are gang members. The Biden/Harris administration’s position on open borders is destroying all our major cities.
Think I’m wrong? The fascist, the convicted felon, the most unelectable man in the country won the popular vote in an electoral vote landslide — the first Republican in over 40 years to do that.
If you think the Democrats did a good job, how do you explain that?

Pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists are at risk
Dearest pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcycle riders: Distractions abound in today’s cars and trucks — occupants, radios, snacking, darkness, Bluetooth capacities and multiple blind spots put you at grave risk, despite the best of intentions of drivers.
Please consider yourselves invisible to cars and trucks as you make your way across streets at intersections, regulated or not. For the sake of your lives and well-being, ensure that you are seen, and cross with vital awareness.
Drivers must always notice where children and animals are present, and slow down. Pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists are far less obvious than other vehicles and are gravely vulnerable.
Be wise, and save lives.
