Harris an accomplished VP
This is in response to Dr. W.J. Quinlan’s Opinion letter in the Oct. 23 edition of the Northeast Times.
The first thing that caught my eye was his title: Trump a proven leader. Wow! Biggest misleading heading I’ve seen in a while. I’ll get back to that.
I want to address his mentioning that Kamala was a do-nothing “Giggling Gertie.” And other negative things along those lines and he also said “nothing has changed.” Actually that would be a good thing.
Do a little bit of research Dr. Quinlan. You mentioned her “Border Czar” assignment. Our vice president launched the CAF initiative (Central America Forward). It’s a public/private partnership aimed at creating local jobs. This initiative has generated over $5.2 billion in commitments from more than 50 companies and organizations. Not too bad for a do-nothing vice president. She made history by being the first sitting vice president to visit a Planned Parenthood clinic. She also led the “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour. Not too bad for a do-nothing vice president. She oversaw the first ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. It included the signing of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Not too bad for a do-nothing vice president. Kamala Harris broke the record for casting the most tie-breaking Senate votes of any vice president in history. Her votes were crucial in passing significant legislation. Not too bad for a do-nothing vice president.
These are just a few highlights of her term.
As for Mr. Trump, all you need to do is listen to any of his speeches and fact check them. Any of them and you’ll find many, many “mis-statements” (I’m trying to be nice here). Not to mention he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, convicted on 30-some felony counts. Not one or two … 30-some. He’s failed at so many businesses and has had so many scams. The list could go on for pages and pages. Trump a proven leader? I think not.

Harris a propped-up phony
Kamala Harris is dancing around the issues and thinks everything is a joke.
She allowed millions of illegals to flood into our country with her wide-open border policy and she smirks it off like it was a joke.
She allowed her Democrat constituents in blue cities of Chicago, LA, NYC, Philly and, of course, Aurora, Colorado, migrant-friendly “sanctuary city” status that has allowed vicious, murderous gang members to rampage our cities.
The fake news media have the nerve to lie to the American people that “crime is down.”
Furthermore, Harris allowed criminal migrants to rape, murder and assault men, women and children, and she has no answer to that, either.
But women voters want to endorse her to be their female president when she can’t even protect our women and children from illegal migrant rapists and murderers. But it seems that Kamala doesn’t care about that issue, either. She smirks that off, too.
And all she says is that, “There’s more work to be done.”
What work? She hasn’t done any work for Americans in her 4 years in office other than fly around in her jet for 4 years.
Where has she been for four years?
The open borders, the illegal criminal gang members killing and terrorizing our citizens, to Americans living on credit-card debt month to month because who has the money to afford the high prices of anything, that’s what her administration has accomplished in 4 years.
Kamala Harris does the “cackle dance” around these issues, laughs it off, and provides no solutions to fixing anything other than empty promises, again, much like her 4 years in office.
She’s a fat zero on everything from border security, on the high cost of living, to curbing crime.
We already know the track record of Trump when he was president.
Under Trump, home ownership was affordable with mortgage interest rates at a low 3% and affordable housing prices, while under Biden-Harris it shot up to 9%, with the average cost of buying a house is now at an outrageous $400-500k price range or higher.
Harris however wants to hand out to low-income first-time homebuyers 25k to help with the down payment on a new home.
The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Working at McDonald’s or Target doesn’t cut it for young homebuyers when Harris’ interest rates are at 7 to 9 percent.
Also, interest rates on credit cards are now at a staggering 20-30% under Biden-Harris, along with higher gasoline prices at the pump due to “Cackling, no Fracking” Harris and Biden cutting off the Keystone pipeline infrastructure, making America relying on foreign oil purchases.
Furthermore, Kamala’s running mate, Tim Walz, loves communist China so much that he went there for his honeymoon (how creepy), that he and Kamala don’t care if their Chinese comrades are buying up American farmlands instead of helping the American farmers.
That’s certainly not putting America first, is it Kamala?
You ever wonder how Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the Bidens got so rich with their millions in their pockets working in government?
So to the people who think Kamala is presidential material, are we on the same boat, because she’s nothing more than a propped-up phony puppet of the Washington elites who only care about putting more money into their pockets than into the hard-working Americans.
This is the reason why they want to stop Trump because he’s a threat to their money flow.

Buyer beware
In any election there will always be a few issues that both sides agree on. When choosing a dentist, we all owe Michael Kahmar a huge debt of appreciation for his painstaking list of reasons for selecting one. The dude has a great command of the obvious.
Of course there are also the main hot-button issues that separate us. I have always casted up the border disaster, trans males in the female world, DEI (didn’t earn it) and the undeniable rise in prices we all see in everything. I have long found that most Democrats, when asked why they vote as they do, say they “have always voted Democrat,” along with, “I despise Trump,” for which I am also quick to say I don’t blame them given how the orangeman can come out with some quite stupid statements that hurt people’s feelings. But quit paying attention to the bogus dictator narrative. The Republican world ain’t ever gonna allow that to happen. But what about the aforementioned issues, which are what this election comes down to? The answer seems quite clear. They can’t be defended.
Recently David Chester, to his credit, made an attempt to defend his vote listing numerous issues. However, any administration would have covered them all, particularly the earth-shattering CHIPS & Science Act and American Rescue Plan (you forgot to mention how the current clown in the WH also changed the color of the drapes in a couple rooms). A border bill was mentioned, but it was so flawed that clear-thinking folks shot it down. Which brings up 2 questions: Are you OK with 15 million illegals storming America and if this bill was so good, why wait 3½ years to present it?
The obvious answer is that the border calamity has gone just as the Democrats have wanted and with the coming election it is now time to act like they are concerned with addressing it. Any resulting horror stories from it are just collateral damage. The goal is to tip the voting scales into Democrat favor in perpetuity. This will give them “one-party rule,” which is exactly what they want. This is also the way of government and life in such places as China, Russia, North Korea and Iran, which leaves 90% of the people living lives completely different than the great way of life we have here in America.
If you haven’t heard the socialist vibe coming from the current Demo ticket, you ain’t listening. This desired way of government and living will affect all of us, not just those of one side. The whole gist of raising some people by bringing down others, taking from our pockets to give to others (how did you like paying off many student debts by those who have been doing the right thing by paying off yours to buy votes? Feel like a sucker?), and implementing DEI at every turn should fly in the face of every American who has worked hard to live in places like East Torresdale and the suburbs.
Maybe when your daughter or grandson comes home after an interview for a job they want and are much qualified for and they tell you it was given to another because the standards were lowered, your tune may change. It’s funny when you hear about folks who say they are all in for immigration, and then a couple busloads land in their neighborhood. Whoa! America is an awesome, generous country, but this way?
Now who is the real threat to democracy? How does the United States of Venezuela sound? Calling Dr. Harris?
