What party claimed the Oval Office during those years? And, just like grown-ups who have to clean up bad credit card debt when college first years grab credit card offers off of bulletin boards, things got balanced. 5/16

“Open borders”? My ancestors came to these shores in the 1600s and borders were wide open. However, a person who comes to the USA to avoid military service in Prussia or, or gets his wife in on a waiver to cover, let’s say, “adult services” - they should be tossed out. 6/16

The rest of the developed World - wait. The Developed World has “socialized medicine.” We rank 37th in quality of care & R twice as expensive as anyone else. Maybe our education system should be public again & kids will learn that “socialism” is not simplistic. 7/16

Obviously you did not read Roe v Wade when you were in law school on New York Street. The decision as to whether to undergo abortion is not “on demand” and is not an easy decision for a woman to make. 8/16

Then again, “on demand” describes the services of the present administration in the context of demands by Putin. 9/16

You say Senator Harris “is weak on crime.” I think you are weak on The Constitution. We have 25 percent of the World’s prison inmate population with only five percent (5%) of its total population. We hardly are the “Land of the Free.” 10/16

Former members of the present administration get pardoned or have sentences commuted. People who are not well placed - and, oh that’s right, aren’t white - get killed or put in prison. Maybe that’s why so many say BLACK LIVES MATTER. 11/16

I have to address the notion of “America First.” The phrase implies “to hell with everyone else.” That’s the mind set that has so many people - well, miffed, to be polite - at the USA. We have to live with others and co-exist. 12/16
