Do you shake\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">your head as you listen to the nightly news or the latest Biden gaffe or\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">executive order? Yes, it has been amazing to watch Americans come together\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to help their neighbors in the face of Hurricane Ian, but hurricanes have an\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">end to their destruction. Between now and November, we must remind Americans\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">of the disaster we face if we do not elect candidates who will put a stop to\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the Biden Administration&#8217;s destructive policies and priorities. America&#8217;s\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">future depends upon it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We know that every improvement is the result of a change, but we are now\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">learning a very painful lesson-not every change is an improvement! Biden&#8217;s\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">America hardly resembles the country our Founding Fathers envisioned. Fake\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">news abounds, unchecked by mainstream media. Dissent is\u00a0silenced or, even\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">worse, labeled hate speech. The value of work, personal responsibility, and\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">perseverance are replaced with honoring victimhood, fueling racism, and\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">encouraging dependence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We might heed the words of the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 5:20) when he warned:\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.&#8221; The\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">prophet could say the same thing about Biden&#8217;s America today!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We are becoming the fake news capital of the world. Speaking to Democratic\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">governors recently, President Joe Biden compared Italy&#8217;s new and\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">conservative prime minister Giorgia Meloni to Chinese dictator Xi Jinping.\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Meloni campaigned on God, pride in the country, and defense of family values to\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">win the election. Even the direct rival she defeated, ex-Italian PM Matteo\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Renzi defended her: &#8220;I was against Giorgia Meloni, I&#8217;m not her\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">best friend. We are rivals, but she is not a danger to democracy. The idea\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">there is a risk of fascism in Italy is fake news.&#8221; Biden&#8217;s\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">reckless diplomatic statements are dangerous and irresponsible. America has\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and must expect more from its presidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When most Americans are concerned about their safety and the rise of\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">crime in their communities, Biden&#8217;s Washington remains focused on a\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">never-ending investigation into the &#8220;January 6th Insurrection.&#8221; The\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Democrats seem to feel it is the worst travesty to hit America since 9\/11.\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While many who participated in the &#8220;insurrection&#8221; remain in jail, Democrats\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">are still calling for police budget cuts, an end to bail, fewer\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">prosecutions, and early release for true criminals. To prevent criminals\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">from being homeless after serving time, President Biden has even promised\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">housing for 100% of those who have done criminal crimes. At the same time,\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">his administration has done little or nothing to improve housing for\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">veterans, seniors living on fixed incomes, or working Americans on the verge\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">of losing their homes in the face of inflation-driven increases in the\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">cost of living.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Instead of challenging and encouraging all Americans to earn their own\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">American Dream, today&#8217;s Democrats are arguing for a guaranteed income for\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">all Americans, In America, we promise the freedom to work in pursuit of\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">one&#8217;s happiness. Now, Democrats want to provide a guaranteed income\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">whether you earn it or not. Why work when you can be dependent on your\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">tax-paying neighbors?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Americans wonder why there is inadequate housing, but Washington seems to\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ensure that building and owning rental property doesn&#8217;t pay. When the government\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">mandates rent moratoriums, property owners are left holding the bag. Owners\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">must still pay their mortgages and maintenance expenses while renters get a\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">free ride and can&#8217;t even be evicted. Why would anyone want to own rental\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">property in today&#8217;s America? Want more housing, let capitalism work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And just what has happened to our guaranteed freedom of speech? If you dare\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">say that you are a MAGA voter who still believes there was rampant fraud in\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the 2020 election, you must be shamed into silence as an obvious domestic\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">enemy worthy of scorn. In today&#8217;s America, the Left can say anything they\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">want about Trump or conservatives and still post away on social media, but\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">even mention election fraud or tyranny from the left, and your freedom of\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">expression goes away. &#8220;Hate speech&#8221; rules are one-sided and a true threat to\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">our freedom of speech.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Democrats try to tell us that the Southern border is secure, and they rail\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">against conservative border governors sending even a few illegal immigrants\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to Democrat-controlled cities like Washington, Chicago, and New York. They\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">claim they are &#8220;sanctuary cities&#8221; ready to protect illegal immigrants. But\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">when put to the test, they plead for National Guard troops and for President\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Biden to do something! He has been doing something; he has been sending\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">illegals by bus loads to red states for well over a year. We do not have\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">a secure border, and even Democratic mayors in border cities know something\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">needs to be done. President Biden, it is time to finish the wall and secure\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">our border. It&#8217;s time to elect candidates who will demand just that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If this is the America you want, vote Democrat. If not,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/%3Chttps%3A\/\/www.republicanleader.gov\/commitment\/%3E\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">embrace<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the GOP&#8217;s Commitment to\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">America and get ready to take back the future of this great country.
