Editor,

I was recently subjected to a flurry of political Facebook ads which quoted the Daily Journal extensively about the San Mateo City Council race (example: https://www.facebook.com/101074644848219/posts/180132276942455/).

I only wish Ms. Amourence Lee fielded some questions about her support for Black Lives Matter, social justice and racial equity. It seems that part of her agenda has gone silent before the election as she knows it is not what the voters of San Mateo want. She isn't so confident about BLM and "her community" these days and there is not a peep out of her on those topics as opposed to her very vocal support when she was first appointed to the city council. Just do your research on Ms. Lee; were she comes from, her wealth and personal holdings, her lack of experience and her left wing Marxist agenda and you will see that she is the last person you want running San Mateo. Vote for Nash and Papan and end this very tragic part of our city's history.

This letter wasn't about which candidate is better. It's about misleading political ads. I realize Donald Trump has moved the goalpost on lying and deceit, but many of us would like to move it back. Lying about a newspaper endorsement should not be acceptable.

All Are Welcome -

It's curious how you bring Pres.Trump into this. Is that necessary, honest and appropriate?

Join us in "counting your blessings" because Pres.Trump is making America great again. Millions have benefited from his leadership, and tremendously positive things he has done for our country. And the love that he has for us.

What are you smoking tonight? The love he has for us? The only thing he loves is himself. His love for himself is an eleven on a scale of ten, his family is a five on the scale of ten and money is about an eight or nine. Right now that is the most important thing to him because his loans are coming due and he can't pay them. When Russia and China call the loans and he can't pay he is worried that he will have a knee replacement in a mafia style way.

Uh-oh, sounds like Lou broke Taffy Dave, too. Taffy is so confused that he’s now describing brain-dead Biden to a T. I wonder why Taffy isn't bringing up BLM - Biden's Laptop Matters.

It’s funny how Mr. Silin chooses a screen name of AllAreWelcome when it’s obvious he’s not very welcoming. Just a wild guess, but I’m thinking he may be infected with TDS since they’re the most hypocritical. Maybe Mr. Silin should change his screen name to AllAreWelcomeIfYouAgreeWithMe. BTW, if you like your plan, you can keep it. We'll never overcome that lie from Treasonous Obama.
