President Leyden Johnson knew making people dependent, especially African Americans, on Government would have them voting Democrat for 200 years. Today, Democrats are continuing that plan. Our failing school system is churning out young people that believe government can and should provide for them. And they don’t understand where the government gets it’s funds. This Country went to war for independence overs 2% tax. Unless we start holding people accountable for their own survival, socialism will destroy us. Unfortunately our local politicians are pushing a socialist agenda.
In case you’re wondering why your neighbors are screaming as they walk back to their house from the mailbox, they probably just opened up their TRIM notice. Mine is projected to be over $4K this year for the first time.
In reference to our primary election: How did Einstein define insanity?
@Commonsense … “Nobody can tell for sure untril …” LOL! All that is necessary to know what will happen is a look and listen to the last four years of City Commission meetings and what Jeremy and “Jack” have been stopped from doing or having done. I appreciate your analysis, but conclusions are quite easy to assertain.
After the primary, there are now only two possible outcomes left for the City Commission:
A) Richardson wins and the commission vote outcome remains the very historic 3-2 with Porter and Matlow being the two traditional holdouts. Nothing in City Hall will change. Just a continuation of “more of the same.”
B) If Dot Johnson beats Richardson the vote outcome will still be 3-2. However, Dailey and Cox will become the two new holdouts on votes. Things may get better at city Hall or they may get worse. Nobody can tell for sure until this possible outcome happens.
Happy voting in November!
I have been watching the Democratic National Convention the last two days and they are STILL projecting all of Biden’s and Harris’s Failures onto Trump. It just amazes me how the attendee’s are eating it up.
