In my opinion, this election will be the most important in American history for the following reasons:

• The president chose his cabinet for diversity, not merit, i.e., Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wouldn’t define “woman.”

• There is rampant crime (Democratic mayors) in many cities with no bail and liberal prosecuters and judges instituting light sentences.

• Some Black Lives Matter leaders spent millions from corporations and donors on luxury houses.

• The “Defund the police” movement creates chaos.

• President Biden killed the Keystone XL pipeline and instituted regulations to hinder or stop production elsewhere.

• The Biden administration allows China to buy thousands of acres of our prime farmland (some near Air Force bases).

• China confiscates billions of dollars worth of our technology each year with little resistance. They send some of their best students to our universities to learn math, science and engineering (we are preoccupied with drag queens, gender pronouns, racism, etc.).

• Two million immigrants were stopped at the southern border this year (plus probably hundreds of thousands of got-aways).

• The Chinese work with the cartels to send fentanyl and other opioids to destroy American society. They make billions, and the cartels have all the rapes they want with no repercussions.

• I estimate that 30 million-plus illegals have entered our country over the years. Our culture is changing (many come from socialist countries like Venezuela and Cuba).

• Diversity is a good thing to a certain extent, but when you have too much it can be devastating — i.e., you have food for 10 and 1,000 hungry people show up.
