And a Happy New Year to you, too, Mr. Duncan. We can only hope your wishes are heeded by Democrats who continue to put the welfare of criminals and terrorists over the American people. Seem Democrats are okay with foisting an unhappy and unhealthy 2026 on citizens, as they’ve done for so many years. Be kind to everyone and vote for Trump-endorsed candidates first and Republicans second. Also vote NO on all proposed tax measures.
