Letter to the Editor - America and Common Sense

As I watch the news, I’m happy we have a new administration in the White House.   I lived through WWII, I’m a 4 year Korean Vet and I watched as President Biden attempted to ruin a once great America.   WE had lost common sense.

First of all, a country without  secure borders, is not a country nor is it safe.  Open borders is a complete lack of common sense.  Thousands of our young people died of fentanyl drugs illegally coming over our open borders, as well as criminals. 

Secondly, inflation and waste was putting a tremendous burden on the richest country in the world.  Families were hurting. Where’s the common sense to control wasteful spending?  Food prices were growing like mad.

Thirdly, law and order.  How can parents feel safe for their children in our major cities filled with crime and violence?  Our liberal judges allowed it and made it worse.  Where’s the common sense?  Their answer (Democrats) was to cut back on police officers and protection for our citizens.

President Trump was overwhelmingly elected to save America by just applying common sense policies.  The “non-common sense” Democrats are fighting him all the way.  Let’s wake up, use some common sense and restore America.   May God help our country!
