People flock to our shores from other countries because the American dream is alive and well. It has been estimated that those seeking entry via our southern border alone are from more than 140 different countries.[2]. They aren't seeking entry to Vladimir Putin's Russia or to Xi Jinping's China, but they are enduring enormous risks to come here.
Contrariwise, Adolf Hitler's dream of a "Thousand-Year Reich" is dead and buried. So is Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Union. I was in Berlin when it breathed its last gasps. The sun set on Japan's "Rising Sun" too. And the oppression of Joe Biden and his despicable Democrats will end like the Pigs of George Orwell's "Animal Farm."[3]. History has recorded the rise and fall of despots too many times to count. Vladimir Putin's time on this Earth is finite, and the same is true of Xi Jinping.
Some of us began as Democrats, and we are ashamed of that fact today. We were sucked in by the "style" and flowery words of John F. Kennedy—written for him by Ted Sorensen[4]—who was probably the greatest fraud in American history. He is rivaled only by the consummate racist Barack Obama, who may be "pulling the strings" like a puppeteer over brain-addled Joe Biden.[5]. The term "Progressives" is a total misnomer, which was coined to mask their thoroughly-evil intentions and actions. They are no more "saintly" than Hitler, Stalin, Putin, Xi Jinping and their thugs.
By and large, Americans are very forgiving and tolerant. But they reach a point of no-return, where enough is enough. Obama, Biden and their Democrats have been systematically destroying the America that we love. And yes, ours is a country of different races, ethnic backgrounds and aspirations. Aside from Donald Trump, their latest target is Vivek Ramaswamy—whose family came from India—because of his rising popularity. They are vicious, other-worldly and bent on snuffing out our freedoms, which more and more Americans are realizing in spades.[6]
Perhaps the most disturbing question is why any American would want to run for the presidency or other political offices after what Trump, Ramaswamy and their families have been subjected to? An attempt has been made on young Barron Trump’s life[7]; and that is only the beginning of the insidious Left's efforts to intimidate conservative candidates.[8]. Surely their threats and actions are as evil as those perpetrated by Hitler, Stalin, Putin, Xi Jinping and their thugs.
