National debt now stands at $35 trillion - Biden added 3 trillion in 4 years vs Trump at least $16 trillion (and some would argue 19 trillion). Not taking sides - just pointing out that Trump mortgaged our future (at least $5-10 trillion came from his tax cuts for multi millionaires and billionaires); another $3 trillion for the pandemic. Reagan did the same- had the highest debt in history until Trump. But George HW Bush and Bill Clinton reduced that to almost zero which is why the economy was doing great by 2000. With a debt this high it will become increasingly difficult for a president or Congress to do anything of substance. Do your own research from your own sources on what an astronomical debt does. ---

Partisan contortionists came up with those numbers… Accounting for the changes in cash balances at the Treasury, the debt actually rose $6.5 trillion during Trump’s entire term—and is up $7.9 trillion in less than four years of Biden’s tenure. The Biden/Harris deficit is now pacing at $2 Trillion per year, and you are correct-- it’s bankrupting America. Trump has teamed with Elon Musk (who’s pretty good with money) to propose a “Department of Government Efficiency” where Musk, like Trump-- will work for the American people for free, to reverse the trend, eliminate waste and unnecessary spending, and get America back on track so that like all American citizens— government lives within its means. ---

You may be correct… Christians have so many more reasons to work together than to be separated by politicians… But perhaps it’s biblical prophecy coming to pass. After all, God allowed the Israelites to wander the desert for 40 years because they wanted their will and not His… ---

This is not the post with the links. And ignoring the rants of a megalomaniac and posting incorrect interpretations of events as you have done is quite predictable. ---

Kamala supports abortion on demand, unlimited immigration, repeal of the Hyde Amendment, and gender affirming treatments. She modifies her positions daily. She is untrustworthy. ---

Harris’s associations with the moderator and ABC executives gave her an unfair advantage. I wanted to hear her views on abortion and gender-affirming surgery. Also, I want to know if she supports repealing the Hyde Amendment, one of the goals included in the Democratic platform. Finally, I want her to express her ideas regarding the federal debt of 37 trillion dollars, on which the interest is now one trillion. ---
