Now you have gone and done it! I’d like to thank my fellow Americans for electing a president who is rapidly destroying our country.

In a little more than 100 days, Joe Biden’s policies have created the greatest border crisis in American history, destruction of energy independence, upheaval in our labor markets, inflation and much more.

Biden has allowed over 500,000 illegal border entries. He has enticed desperate parents to send their children to the United States for citizenship. This flow has enabled criminals, terrorists and drug smugglers to cross our borders because border agents are overwhelmed.

Between the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline and the recent cyberattack that crippled the Colonial Pipeline, Biden is very weak on energy. We all stand to lose.

Laid-off workers are getting so much in unemployment and it’s been extended, so they refuse to go back to work. Companies are reducing hours and closing because they can’t get employees and/or they can’t afford the employees. There are delays in virtually every industry for major items waiting to be produced.

Real inflation using the traditional measurements from the 1980s and 1990s is running at a range of 8.4% to 12.2%. The replacement inflation rate is running at 22% based upon raw goods. I believe the stock market is on the verge of collapse. Government spending is out of control, and our debt is so high that we can’t afford to raise the interest rates high enough to stop inflation.

Look at what you’ve done. Thanks for your brilliant vote for our future.
