Trump lied over 12,000 times calling immigrants rapists, gang members, drug lords and the mentally ill who are taking our jobs. But immigration in the U.S. is strongly associated with lower crime rates, and they’re often filling jobs Americans won’t take.
Ed tells us to be afraid of woke policies and vilifies transgenders as a threat although they’re less than 1% of the population. These topics are irrelevant to the well-being of most Americans but Republicans elevated them to key issues and enough people bought it.
Although Biden has managed to reduce inflation and gas prices to normal levels, Trump convinced voters he’ll make “an economy like you’ve never seen before.” For once, I agree. His tariffs, mass deportations and health care cuts will result in inflation and market collapse “like you’ve never seen before” according to 16 Nobel Prize-winning economists. And, don’t forget the extension of the exorbitant Trump tax cuts for the rich, with a few crumbs for rest of us.

Trump’s policies are nonpartisan and will crush everyone except his billionaire buddies.
Fasten your seat belts folks, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Thanks for your letter, Mr. Brenner. I have to wonder why you attempt to vilify Trump with fake news and lies yet with all your criticism of Trump, you say in your first paragraph, “…Trump won the election rather than Harris losing it with a campaign of fear, lies and media domination.” In that we both agree. Trump did win the election because of flawed candidate Kamala’s losing campaign of fear, lies and media domination. Apparently, you did the “math” albeit with some residual hysterical screeching and still arrived at the conclusion that our (yes, our) great(er) President Trump won the election. Winning!
Sorry Irv, as a male you might not understand that radical gender ideology (the idea that a person can change sex because of feelings) is a huge threat to all women and children.
First, your 1% number is not correct. There are high schools and colleges where up to 10% "identify" as something other than their actual sex. At Brown University it was 40% LGBTQ+ (and mostly not just regular gay people, which is not the same thing.)
And every woman has to worry when our single sex spaces are no longer safe. That includes bathrooms, locker rooms, sports, sororities, spas, shelters and prisons. Currently in California there are dozens of men in women's prisons, where they are raping and impregnating vulnerable female inmates.
And this crazy ideology is being taught in schools funded by taxpayers. Kindergarteners being told that if they are a girl who likes sports or a boy who plays with dolls, they might actually be the opposite sex. And when they get a bit older, these kids could be treated with drugs and surgeries that leave permanent changes, instead of getting the therapy they need to be comfortable in their bodies.
In California, schools keep secrets from parents if kids say they want to change gender or adopt a new name. Kids from other states can flee to California and not be returned if their parents don't agree to permanent medicalization. "Non affirming" parents can lose custody.
So no, this is not a minor issue that only affects a small population. And at least 75% of the population does not agree with radical gender ideology.
Democrats will keep losing by not facing reality on this important issue.
Let's hope that this is his last ember soon to extinguish for good. Irv, the election is over, why are you still in denial? A bumpy ride, should it occur, is better than the abyss that we endured the last 3.5 years.
Irv, what hole have you been in that having over 600,000 criminal illegal alien immigrants in the United States along with 13,000 convicted illegal immigrant murderers and 14,000 illegal sexual predators is good for America? Does your daughter or grand-daughter need to be raped or murdered before you get it? There is a murder trial going on right now, try reading what an illegal immigrant from Venezuela did to Laken Riley and tell us all this is good.
Yes, and easily fooled voters, who either don’t understand that Trump is lying all the time, or they don’t care, as long as they can get “their” man into the WH. They don’t even seem to understand that he isn’t there for their sake, - only for his own assumed benefit! Yes, I say “assumed”, because I’m not even sure Trump is bright enough to understand the final results of what he is doing, and how detrimental it may be for us all, including himself, - despite his religious SCOTUS support!
Hello Jorg - has it ever occurred to you that you may be wrong about Trump? You cannot believe yourself that over 70 million voters are ignorant, dumb and cultists. If Trump were in it for himself, he would have stayed at home savoring his many estates and golf courses. Come on man, be reasonable! What benefit is he getting out of this anyway?
Dirk: Trump just loves the attention he is getting, and the fear he enjoys spreading among those who understand where he is taking the country, - right into Putin's greedy, dirty hands! You don't get it. do you?
Irv: Why wasn’t Trump’s very unmanly bragging about his immature p-grabbing habits enough to warn more than just half of us? How sick can someone be for doing such a childish thing, - not to mention to find such sick behavior OK for the occupant of the most powerful office in the world? WHAT an example, - for young and old! That alone should tell us more than we really care to know about those flocking behind him like blind sheep. And then we had this “birther” nonsense about his much more competent opponent, Barack Obama, that so many fell for head over heels! NO end to this guy's despicable image, and the bad example he has set for vulnerable souls, not to mention the power he has over his naïve flock of worshippers.
And I'm sure Jorge you are and were okay with Bill Clinton and his cigar adventures with Monica Lewinsky in the White House? Bill's adventures on Epstein Island? And of course there's nothing wrong with Joe Bribe-em receiving millions from China, Ukraine and foreign nationals and then setting up 20 fake companies to hide the bribery and influence deposits? Unfortunately Jorge, you are a poor example of honesty to the young and old, perhaps you should be consistently sickened by all sick moments by all people regarding of party affiliation and then you might gain an ounce of credibility? BTW, didn't you promise to leave the country with Ellen DeGeneres if Trump won?

Harris lost because she was more concerned about "they" than "us"

Hey Irv,
Did you write this LTE with a crayon? This is absolutely terrible,.
His pet monkey wrote it with the help of AI
