Biden Backed Into A Corner On Illegal Immigration
Dear Editor,
The (National Socialist) Democrat Party and their puppet figurehead Uncle Joe, have now backed themselves into a corner with the illegal immigrant situation.
Taxpayer funded schools being shut down to allow for the housing of illegals, they are being housed in airports; taxpayer money is being used to pay for private hotels. And anybody who thinks the former Hebrew Academy isn’t being prepared for the same reason is living in (NS)DP dream world.
The Texas border town has rapidly become the focal point for showing how ineffective Uncle Joe and his merry band of Socialists really are. The Texas government has taken over one of the most active locations of illegal crossings in the state and shown how the job should be done. Now Biden is talking about trying to get around their lack of backbone by nationalizing the Texas National Guard, taking it away from the governor and making them thralls of the Fed. Unfortunately the outcome will likely not be in the favor of the state. The real question is how the rank and file of the Guard will react. Will they declare any orders given by the Feds as illegal and refuse (legitimately) to obey them? If they do, how far down the ranks will the (NS)DP take the punishment?
Sleepy Uncle Joe and his (NS)DP handlers have a very high profile problem that they can’t hide. They can’t put their socialist spin on this because the whole story is getting out there, not just their version. What happens here and now will be known and seen by everybody. Their BS spin doctors (aka the MSM) won’t be able to hide this.
The only thing missing, and someone needs to correct this, is to have a replica of the Alamo built there as a symbol of just how strongly the people of Texas, and the United States, feel about the situation. Yes, the Alamo fell after only a couple of days once the fight started, but look at its effect on American history. It stands with Lexington and Concord as a symbol of American backbone.
This is going to be an interesting fight. Sleepy Uncle Joe and his puppet masters will not be able to overwhelmingly control the media spin. How about a drinking game? A shot for every MAGA reference made. I give it 20 minutes to get everybody falling down drunk.

Trump Needs To Address Issues
Dear Editor,
Candidate Donald Trump is running his campaign so far as a character attack on other candidates, calling them incompetent, making fun of them, making up names for them. He has not addressed in any way the important problems in today’s world. He needs to tell the American people in a debate against Nikki Haley how he would address these important issues.
What is Trump’s plan for dealing with Social Security, probably the most important domestic issue in our country.
Does Trump support a nationwide ban on abortion? If so, what are the details of his plan?
How, exactly, would Trump solve the border crisis? He never got the wall built.
What would he do about Israel and Gaza? How would he deal with Iran and its surrogates like the Houthis?
How would Trump solve the war between Russia and Ukraine? Would he stop supporting NATO? Would he support new members of NATO?
Would Trump support Taiwan as an independent nation, or would he give it to China?
Trump proposes a 10 percent tariff on goods imported to US? What does that mean for American consumers?
Enough with character assassination, lies, derogatory nicknames and the like. It’s time to get serious and give the American people answers to the most important questions facing us. Trump needs to stop making fun of the clothes Haley wears, and allow voters to see where they differ on the real issues of the day.

Be Prepared And Vote
Dear Editor,
It is time to prepare for the primary elections on March 5. Many Americans agree that there is a myriad of large issues. It is time we, as a country, acted by voting. The turnout for elections in Guilford County for the last couple of local contests has been between 12 percent and 17 percent.
It takes research, which takes time, to be properly prepared to vote. Should such decisions be based on what your friend or neighbor says? How do you choose? I propose voters refocus on qualifications and records. Any serious candidate has either a website or a Facebook page listing their positions and a method to contact them. Many mailers are arriving at homes every day now. Forums are being presented either in person or electronically. There is information out there for those who want to know.
Some voters choose not to participate in the primary elections. Many times, the real contest is in those primaries. Are you going to let others “narrow the field” for you, eliminating the candidate you would have chosen? The complaint that there is no one worth choosing is common. If that is a concern, please vote in the primary. For instance, in the upcoming primary election there are ten candidates vying for governor of NC and thirteen competing for lieutenant governor.
It is a privilege and a responsibility to be a citizen of the most amazing country on the planet. It is time for every one of us to recognize our role in making this country function though the relatively painless process of being an informed voter. Thousands of Americans have died or suffered loss to give that privilege to us today. Do not be a hitch-hiking citizen enjoying the quality of life of America with no effort or commitment in return.

Lynn, I salute you. You eloquently and clearly said it all.
I especially like your “…hitch-hiking citizen…” comment. May I borrow that from time to time?
James, you are right about Trump. He needs to campaign on the issues, above the name calling and demonization from the LEFT. I’m sure he gets this advice, but will he take it?
Many years ago, Jesse Helms was way behind in the polls to Jim Hunt for a Senate seat in Congress. Jesse won by addressing the issues, and calling out Jim Hunt for not doing so. He never demonized Mr. Hunt, who was a popular Gov.
Lynn,
That is why we have a LEFTIST City & County govt. Hardly anyone besides the faithful bothered to show up at the polls. Our local govt made sure that they voted. Thus, we lose our Republic.
We are all free to criticize our govt (for now, anyway); but if you don’t vote, you might be a hypocrite. Who would know?
Trump doesn’t run on the issues. That would require true leadership skills which Trump completely lacks.
Trump has something you don’t have. It’s called a brain.
Hey Chrissy, why are you ignoring the comments column of the Jan 18th Letter suddenly? You know, where you accuse me of “loving misinformation” but you propagated a demonstrable falsehood – and were called on it.
In plain English, you were caught in a lie.
—–
When Chrissy is finally backed into a corner and proven wrong, he just disappears – poof! – and moves on to his next set of fabrications and fallacies.
Awwwww. Austin really missed me. How sweet. No idea what topic you are going on about. But thanks for caring.
That is the topic where we are explicitly proven to be wrong.
Look it up.
You were very voluble until you were disproven.
That should read: “…where YOU are explicitly proven to be wrong”.
Still no idea what you are going on about. But love i am front and center of your little brain.
*****
Even a child can find the comments on the Letter of Jan. 18th.
You’re pretending you can’t because I embarrassed you.
You were caught in a lie – again.
*****
I am assuming it is related to Don’s comment so what are you going on about mate?
He also disappeared on the commentary that EVs are made entirely with metal, petroleum products, and dangerous chemicals. All of which are mined with non-green methods. And that most of the recharge energy from around here comes from a coal fired plant.
Here’s a cool article about cobalt mines and the slave labor used to rip it from the earth in the most non-eco-friendly of ways. (Cobalt is one of the main ingredients in EV batteries.) There are plenty of insightful articles and revealing photos of the earth being ripped apart by 3rd world cobalt miners. Go Green, you EV hypocrites.

Just about any kind of production hurts the environment. The immediate need for us is reducing climate impact given the potential it has for challenging our grandkids futures. But am glad to see you care about the environment as a whole.
To be clear, I do not yet see EVs as a great savior. That is reserved for improving industry which generates 3/4 of carbon emissions. Transportation is certainly up there but unless we figure out how to produce electricity more cleanly, we are in real trouble.
EV’s and battery production will continue to improve and demand while not spiking as hoped will eventually get past its hurdles I believe. Until then, hybrids seem to be taking the lead at the moment and will likely be my next auto purchase.
And the children of Africa will continue to suffer as they are forced to strip mine their own lands, all “in the name of progress.” Sooo good and green you are.
That’s what he does, Don. When he’s been cornered and irrefutably been proven wrong, he just disappears (and moves on to his next piece of disinformation).
He’s s despicable little demagogue, full of sly sophistry.
Full of himself too. He’s insufferably smug.
Just be specific. That letter is full of comments from you and most are bs and insults. Or are you incapable of civil discourse?
Conservatives love the problems at the border. It is their best tool when running for national office. Guess that is why Trump is working so hard to disrupt the joint congressional bill written to address the issues at the Southern Border. I will say again…. immigration laws have been outdated in this country for years. It is the job of congress to update the laws and yet again conservatives fail to pass any meaningful legislation when they hold the majority in the house.
So when complain about the border going forward…guess it is never too soon to blame Trump. (Although i suppose Trump really just didn’t want his best friend Putin to be upset with more aid to Ukraine.)
******
Our resident Village Idiot never fails to entertain. Chrissy still believes the whole Russia Hoax story. The real buddies of Putin are the Clintons. Bill received a half million dollar “speaking fee” and a torrent of donations to the Clinton Foundation to help get the Uranium One deal passed. The then Secretary of State naturally fast tracked the whole sordid arrangement (that would be… Hillary Clinton).
And that’s why Russia now controls about 20% of our uranium.
Talk about selling your country down the river…
*******
No. I believe Trump accepted Putin’s word over his own national security team’s regarding medaling in the 2016 election. He continual praises Putin in his stump speeches. My favorite quote was from Eric Trump though ” We don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.” When it comes to Ukraine Trump has been very clear “Putin, I get along with him great, ultimately he will take over all of Ukraine.”
No surprise Putin has publicly stated he hopes Trump wins the election. Hmmmm wonder why?
Proved you wrong and you have nothing to say…lol
You have proven nothing – and haven’t even addressed the Clinton/Uranium deal.
Your claims are getting increasingly divorced from reality, buddy.
“Conservatives love the problems at the border.” Yes, in a way I agree. . . . .but it’s more laughter at how the Dims have allowed the border to be wide open. Trump at least almost finished putting up a wall to stop them. Now they have allowed the wall to be torn down in some areas.
However, it’s really about loving the problems democrats have created with a wide-open border. With Trump and prior democrat presidents, we held firm on our immigration steps to not overwhelm our system. People from other countries were to go to the American consulate in their native country to submit their request for admittance to the US.
However, under Biden all you have to do is get here by any means. . .and he’ll give you the right to vote. See how socialism works?
Mr. Marshall – God knows I look forward to the laughs you give me with every letter. Thanks for that. It must be exhausting fighting all those mean old (NS)DC windmills in your head….
Mr. Bennett – Careful, you’re using common sense and logic with those thoughtful, intelligent questions of yours. Most of this bunch will not understand you, or why you defy ‘Great Leader’ trump this way. There will be snarky comments and retorts coming your way over this. I salute you, sir.
Hey folks,
It seems I now have a place to sub-let since I can’t live in two places at once.
Anybody interested? Cheap rate.
Well, somebody’s certainly full of snarky comments…
Everyone is entitled to my opinion. Can we cut out (or just ignore) all this mudslinging? It just makes everybody mad. We’re gonna see all these political ads until November, then the loser will take to the Courts.
Just make me King of the USA.
