    Good morning to all-

    This guy- whoever he is- is just stirring the pot and he is or will be asking for money in some way or another. Just more noise. Just more noise. He says nothing and he means to say nothing.

    Our country is not now and never has been perfect, but it's the best the world has on display. If we ignore the online fools who preach gloom and doom, we'll all be OK

    Of course, if we could shuck the Marjory Taylor Greens and Matt Gaetzs and their kind in Congress, the world would be a better place.

    But we will be OK.

    you all be safe and keep well- Ed

    I deleted my comment, because I realize nothing, I will say maters anyway. Things will be what they are no mater if I agree or disagree. I can 'vent' till the cows come home and at a certain point it doesn't help me or convince anyone else.

    Our young men and women have been programmed in our schools and institutions. Our nation is no more.

    Good morning to all-
    Ms. Mallory, our kids are NOT being programmed in our schools- at least not in our public schools. They are being educated to their fullest possibility.
    And our nation is still here, we're still here, and we'll all be OK if we just keep on keeping on.

    And what you say doesn't matter ONLY if you think it doesn't matter.

    We'll be OK.

    you all keep safe and be well- Ed

    Please, let's allow other members to vent their biggest frustrations with the government. Let's not try to control other members' thoughts. In the United States, that's the job of the Democrat Party, the U.S. educational system, and the U.S. media.

    Good afternoon to all-
    Mr. Anderson- if you are referring to my most recent post- I'm not trying to control anyone's thoughts. I was expressing my firm beliefs and not trying to stir other people up for no good reason. You seem to enjoy that sort of thing, so I'll leave that kind of thing to you.

    And I repeat- we'll all be OK.

    you all be safe and keep well- Ed

    When I address someone specifically, I generally address them specifically. I post to no one in particular when I sense a thread is moving in the wrong direction. I quoted the OP to clarify the point of this thread.

    Trudeaus issue for me is not the spending so much as his dictatorial bent. The U.S. outspends Canada by orders of magnitude. Don't get me wrong, I think it is bad for a country or individual to live beyond its means, but Trudeau's abuse of power with regard to the truckers and guns in Canada really is troubling.

    You can only have an effect on your legislators. Those from other areas don't even accept communication. And one of my Senators has been ignoring me for years. But this year is asking for election donations.:D

    I’m thinking that these 5 statements might fit rather well here.

    I HATE that we don't take care of our vets and families. I get angry when I get requests from vet organizations--not at the vets but at our gov't.

    Biggest frustrations:

    Non-representing representatives.

    The all but disappeared National Referendum.

    Powerful foreign lobbies.

    Gov't agencies that are run by incompetents or politically biased bosses.

    The continued use of voting machines that can be corrupted.

    The refusal to see the logic and intelligence of a voter identification system.

    Allowing our schools to be used as anti-American propaganda factories.

    I'll stop here. You get the idea.
