Every year we hold a function to support our local PB police and sheriffs.
The money raised goes to the families. Some have lost husbands and wives in the line of service and we pay for school supplies, college education, mortgages, healthcare, etc.
We raise millions every year and have children and spouses that the fund has supported talk about this has meant everything to them. Few people leave without tears in their eyes.
So my point, we are on track to raise a little more than last year but we also publish a list of givers in the program distributed at the banquet.
I’m sadden to report that many ask that their names not be listed. They are afraid of the backlash.
That’s our country we live in now gents. Supporting our police, some that have lost their lives, is now considered a danger to their careers or self.
So when you get the urge to remind all of us over and over again how much you hate Trump there are people with real issues out there and those who want to help them are afraid that supporting our police can harm them.
Own that when you support your BLM and progressive policies. Blame Trump all you want but when he goes down you are supporting a growing cancer in our culture.
One last item, meant for some of this board. The ones most likely to donate without mention are attorneys. What does that tell you.
Thanks, now go back to your Orange Man crap.
Most voters, including myself, were willing to wait and see if Trump could...or even would...lead this nation. Few (and yes there were a few who knew exactly what he was and feared the worst) knew of what he was capable and were yet willing to give him opportunity.
But, when watching and hearing almost daily his arrogant, boastful, and lying rants coupled with his do nothing administration and shrinking from every opportunity to draw our country together, it has become evident to any unbiased critical thinker that the worst cancer facing this country is Donald Trump.
Yes, there are a plethora of critical, immediate, and abhorrent issues needing elite intellectual and unbiased answers, but none which Trump is capable or willing to address. He is simply a dolt...a lazy, ignorant, narrow minded fool of a man who has grossly shirked his responsibility to our nation.
As a political moderate conservative for 50 years, I understand what Trump has done and the damage he has done to the Republican party. His stupidity and desecration is escalating almost daily as his re-election efforts sink rapidly to zero if not there already. But there are literally millions like me who are willing to give Biden a chance to lead and heal, not because he is and excellent choice or we agree with his political agenda, but because they understand fully that he is by a huge margin the "lesser of two evils. That for two consecutive elections, both parties have offered candidates that moderates consider under this axiom is a damnation to both parties. But at least the Democrats have done better both times. History will likely judge Donald Trump and his embrace of right wing extremism as the greatest threat to our country since the Civil War.
The real question is does the democratic party realize that the ensuing landslide victory is not a deafening roar for them to lead the country to rapidly move the needle to extreme liberalism? It is instead a deafening roar to bring true leadership and genuine effort to make every effort to unite our country and return some semblance of honor to our nation's lawmakers and law enforcers. Little of that honor exists today as being a lawmaker is seen by too many as a ticket to power and wealth....and too many are willing to sell their souls for that power and wealth. Trump thought it would be easy and is paying a price he never imagined. What is terrifying is his taking his plight, the result of his choices, like a two-year old tantrum controlled child. Makes you wonder if we will ever find a leader of the ilk of FDR, Eisenhower, Lincoln, or Washington ever again.
First off...two SCOTUS appointments. However bad they may be, Hillary would have appointed people like AOC.
Second...major reduction in regulations, and an undoing of a bunch of crazy shit by the Obama administation. This was a huge reason for the stock market coming back as strong as it did, because we finally had a friend to business in office.
If you and others get caught up in his moronic tweets, and vote against him for that reason, then there will be a landslide for the Dems, and I guarantee you they will consider it a mandate to implement all kinds of crazy shit.
Pick your poison. I'll take an asshole tweeter who enables me to provide for my family and protects the interests of the United States over someone who is polished but wants to implement policies that will destroy this country as we know it.
wait for the next tweet. Cowards. Thank God you weren’t born earlier or we would all be speaking German and Japanese. You frauds.
her car.
Just terrible.
losses which is a real possibility, because of himself, I‘ll sit back and watch these Biden guys and see how their lives are impacted as the progressives run over the old man.
He needs to hit them every day in every tweet. No one cares about the family book or what Scarborough says.
Getting tough to watch. Hope the silent majority is real.
But they should not have to fear donating to any charity. This culture is toxic. I heard the CEO of Goya talk today. He was invited to the WH under Obama and got to introduce him. Business was fine after. He went yesterday and talked about Trump and now there is a boycott on their products. Why the double standard from the tolerant left?
