Nothing stings worse than to realize too late that you’ve been duped. You buy the sales pitch and find out after the purchase that they misled you. I dare say if Kamala wins the White House, it won’t take long for many who supported her to have buyer’s remorse. Since she has refused to do a press conference, and tells the public to look at her website to know her policies (which few do), they remain largely unknown. Those controlling her realize a press conference would be disastrous so they keep her hidden for the most part. If Kamala disclosed her true plans, she’d never win.

She also has the distinction of being the only candidate who never received one vote. Instead of being elected by delegates to the DNC, she was selected by important politicians like Pelosi, Obama and Schumer. She, like Biden, will play the same game of being a figurehead for those behind the scenes dictating what her next move will be.

Since Kamala’s past four-year record in office is so dismal, she can’t run on what she’s done. The future goals of her handlers are so radical, that she can’t disclose them. All that’s left in her toolbox is to demonize Trump. “Harris Hitler Hysteria” is now on full display. Her game plan is to scare voters into believing “Trump is a threat to democracy.” How ironic when that’s exactly what elite Democrat operatives did by booting Biden out and putting Kamala in his place. How Democratic is it to be selected by powerful back-room Democrats calling the shots instead of being elected by the delegates at the DNC?

I’m weary of hearing her lies that Trump will be a dictator, and lock up those who oppose him. She and Joe are the ones who sent the FBI to raid the homes of those who opposed their policies. They are the ones who weaponized the DOJ and the IRS against their foes.

Spare me from such nonsense as Trump will impose a nationwide abortion ban, or gather dissenters into concentration camps. These are scare tactics designed to fool you to get your vote.

Several clear-thinking journalists believe if elected Kamala will grant amnesty to the millions of “undocumented workers” illegally in our country. Don’t be surprised when she proposes giving Black citizens reparations for the slavery their ancestors suffered. Expect that she will advocate that the government seize power to undermine parental authority in gender matters, abortion and what children are taught in school. Severe restrictions will be placed on firearms. Police will be authorized to enter the homes of gun owners without a warrant to check that firearms are properly stored. The marketplace will see increased higher prices because she will tax the rich and large corporations to make them pay “their fair share.” They, in turn, then pass those costs down to consumers. Criminal laws will be changed with fewer prison sentences leading to more street crime. Police departments’ funds will be decreased. Free speech will be restricted as those who criticize the government and certain minorities are jailed. Because she believes in equity instead of equality, the government will give tax-funded handouts to selected groups to address “income disparity.” Prostitution and marijuana will be legalized and abortion unrestricted. The Supreme Court will be increased and packed with liberal judges. If any of this sounds like Marxism, it is. What else would you expect from a daughter whose parents were Communists and the most liberal senator ever elected?

I agree that Trump has his problems. But with a dream team of experts and a past winning record, our country is far more likely to see average American lives improved from what Harris gave us these past four years. With Elon Musk, RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, all former Democrats, on board to fix the problems Harris created, the future looks brighter than four more years of the same.

No one likes to be told, “I tried to tell you but you wouldn’t listen.” I hope that won’t be necessary. With the future direction of our country on the line, this election is too important to suffer buyer’s remorse.
