Joe Biden may put ‘country first,’ but it’s not the U.S.

Fay Walker is correct in that Joe Biden offers ‘country first’ policies (Letters, March 10). Unfortunately, that country is not America. Instead of benefiting American citizens, Biden pours money into Ukraine with no accountability. Biden’s regulations cripple American industry and cause jobs to move to China – a country he and his son have received untold millions from.

Joe Biden has funded the current wars by allowing Russia and Iran to sell oil and making the U.S. dependent on dirty energy from them and Venezuela, who now are allowed to send their criminal gangs through his open border to kill our children by fentanyl or to rape and murder our daughters and granddaughters.

Biden’s runaway spending on the ‘green dream’ benefits China, who controls the materials to build electric cars forced upon American citizens and fuels inflation so that the poor in this country can no longer afford necessities like food and energy. Unlike Trump, Biden has weaponized the DOJ and FBI to persecute his opponents - everyone who disagrees with him or threatens his power.

Ms. Walker, turn off CNN and understand what is really going on in this country. The country most of us wish to be put first is America.

Voting for Donald Trump is my prerogative

Lorrie Newman (Letters, March 10) joins those who are obsessed with the support of Donald Trump as president. Who or why I vote for is none of her business, frankly. I could ask why she supports a brain-dead, bigoted, corrupt, perverted old man who can't read, walk, or speak intelligibly without anatomically-infused Red Bull? And you call Trump unhinged!

Mrs. Newman quotes only a portion of what Trump said regarding NATO while discussing with another world leader the required two percent membership fee. To paraphrase, he meant pay your fair share or you're on your own, a reasonable statement to someone who is welching on a deal. I suppose it was Biden's "misstatement" to suggest a minor excursion by Putin into Ukraine would be acceptable?! Or that "everyone should pay their fair share of taxes" except his son, Hunter?

Mrs. Newman should view the footage of a Fulton County, Georgia election worker feeding the same stack of ballots at least three times into the same machine and then tell me the election was fair. If Biden's your man that's fine. That's democracy! Isn't it wonderful?

Joe Biden is flooding America

It just doesn't seem to be the American way of life being ruled by one person controlling millions. However, it must be that half of the U.S. citizens like the country being flooded with drugs and criminals.

How could one decide to open the United States borders to the world? I find it horrible that anyone is murdered. I think it is cheap for someone to discount a murder that would not have happened if we had someone that valued U.S. citizens’ lives. The laws we have to protect us are lacking.

People in the government have decided to let criminals go free. Now criminals have no fear of being punished. They are set free and allowed to continue to commit more crimes. I don't live in the same America as Washington D.C. We don't live behind fences. I pray that there are still good in all people and hope that they wake up and take care of the U.S. first.

Money scarcity can cause recession and depression

Medieval people believed planets were carried around earth on crystal spheres driven by angels. Proof planets orbit the sun was initially rejected, as was evidence for plate tectonics, natural selection and a spherical earth. Unfamiliar pragmatic monetary practices arose as worldwide population growth, international development and military spending required an increasingly available preferred global free-floating fiat reserve currency—U.S. dollars.

Currency user debt of individuals and households differs from the “debt” of currency issuers. Washington creates money on a keyboard at the New York Fed and auctions an equal amount in promissory notes, mistakenly called debt, whose sum represents a historic record of money creation/investment in U.S. security/prosperity, plus interest-bearing bonds held by allies, trading partners, and ourselves. Government deficits equal non-government surplus.

This perpetually expanding money supply scaffolds the global monetary system, fostering economic activity and increased living standards at home and abroad; money scarcity causes recession or depression.

The Donald Trump dictatorship is nearly upon us

Congratulations to the "Great One" and heil Trump now that he has already won the 2024 election with the assistance of the Democrats by their reluctance to run someone other than the "old guy" who should be in a nursing home instead of the White House.

Regardless of the fact that you have a few small indictments facing you (like the one of insurrection, when we all know you were doing your utmost to calm those rambunctious protesters) that I'm sure you will manage to squirm out of, you are still our "favorite son".

Now that your campaign for dictatorship has already begun, how can congress, the house and old man Biden think that they can take credit for a bill (the wall, Israel and the Ukraine) when we all know it was your idea from the start. And you alone should get the credit.

The Oval Office is already being converted into a dictatorial sanctum where you will be able to entertain your golf buddies and maybe Putin. (If he's able to dodge the authorities).

In closing, it seems the more despicable politicians get, the farther up the ladder they go. Trump has reached the highest rung!

Congratulations heir Donald, Adolf would be proud!

Car insurance regulation is a joke

If I see that moronic lizard in a car commercial again, I’m going to sell my vehicles. Since car insurance is mandatory, an unregulated Geico, Progressive, State Farm, and other fleecing corporations purposely do not use ads to show how not to drive.

Wouldn’t it be safer if young adults along with the slower dim-witted inbred adults saw commercials depicting what happened to drivers while texting. We had to see what the consequences of a bad accident were in high school driver’s ed. Instead, these commercials just show a lizard drinking beer with babes at night looking into a garage filled with bloody chainsaws.

If we Floridians have to pay double the average state rate, I want Charlton Heston shooting zombies in New York from a red Mustang convertible in my ads. Hell, let’s triple the rate when self-driving solar paneled cars come around when they’ll be no collisions or noxious carcinogenic gas stations!

It’s obvious unregulated government mandates makes fat cat CEOs and corporate boards of directors obscenely rich. Like all large corporations, our government has deep pockets and will do anything to keep profits increasing and stockholders happy.

To pay the triple rates we can all eat cereal for dinner, because Kellogg’s CEO Steve Cahillane needs a 10th unused mansion near his jet port.
