Latest decisions ‘best hope’ for U.S.

Editor, OBSERVER:

Ronald Reagan spoke of the USA as the “last best hope of mankind.”

What if we are correct that we are the “last best hope of mankind?” That’s a big responsibility. If so, don’t we have a duty to fulfill that responsibility?

On election day we dodged a bullet.

The “elite” left spent billions to force their radical agenda on us while weaponizing the government against those who opposed it. We fulfilled one aspect of our duty to preserve the USA when we voted.

If you believe the left is going to reconsider their radical positions in light of their loss at the ballot box – think again.

Democrat elites believe it was racism and sexism that led to their defeat and not their failed policies on immigration, national debt, crime, the economy and gender (to name just a few).

And they have added a new division to our country. We knew that we were considered racist misogynist, sexist and white supremacists. We are now joined by black men who are now also sexists and Latino men who are now both racists and sexists when they voted for President Donald Trump. (Luckily for those on the left, if you voted for Kamala Harris because she is either a woman or black, that is not considered racism or sexism by the Democrats.)

No lessons learned from the election about dividing the country leading to losses in elections. Nope, like a losing gambler, they are doubling down on dividing the country!

California Gov. Gavin Newsom posted on ‘X’ his first bid to be the Democrats’ 2028 candidate for President.

“Beloved” Democratic governor, Kathy Hochul, announced her administration was creating an “Empire State Freedom Initiative” to resist any “threats” from Trump and the new Congress, even though three and a half million New Yorkers voted for Trump. (But in typical fashion, Hochul also said she welcomed all federal funding.)

Note Hochul’s change in labeling her efforts against the Second Amendment as “gun safety” and not “gun control.”

A Rose by any other name … or in this case, Poison Ivy by any other name. …
