Actions speak louder than words. Inaction speaks, also. When elected president, Donald Trump took actions to implement campaign promises. He accomplished most. Democrats predict dangerous and evil actions if he is reelected. As president, he took no such actions and won’t this time, either.

In contrast, Kamala Harris promises many wonderful things. However, in the four years of the Harris/Biden administration, little action was taken. Why would we expect this extension to be different?

Harris radically changed her position on several major issues in her run for office. She cannot or will not explain reasons for the shift. She claims that her values haven’t changed, but, to me, she does not define her values. I guess integrity, loyalty and honesty must not be in her value set.

Her promises are extravagant. Even the rich don’t have enough money to pay for proposed giveaways and wasteful programs. The country will pay in the form of taxes or inflation. By the way, the top 5% of earners already are paying about 60% of the income tax. The lowest earners pay none.

There seems to be little real analysis, just random giveaways. Real knowledge and in-depth analysis are absent. All we get is laughs, hand waves and word salads.
