The following has occurred since January 2021 when the Biden administration and the Democratic majority took over our entire federal government: Crime is on the rise. In many Democrat-run major cities, murder is at its highest rate ever.

Police are being targeted largely due to leftist slandering. Incompetent Democratic district attorneys refuse to protect the public by allowing repeat offenders to escape prosecution. Illegal immigration has doubled, bringing record fentanyl deaths, deaths to migrant children, migrants overwhelming resources everywhere.

Russia decided to invade Ukraine. China is growing its military and threatening Taiwan. Inflation went from 2% annually to upwards of 8%.

Since becoming a voter in 1980 I have never experienced such governmental incompetence. You needn’t have a great love for the Republican Party to abandon the Democrats this election. You just have to love the country.
