Trump Derangement Syndrome is real
I picked up a copy of The Island News today and was reading through the articles when I ran up on the Letters to the Editor.
I read an opinion by another reader that was raging about the press actually covering a Trump press conference. He found it offensive that the MSM would actually indulge, print or allow media insemination of the views and policy proposals of one of only two candidates for the position of the highest political office in the land. The leader of the free world.
I thought to myself, why would anyone not want to hear what he or she has to say. Your life actually does depend on their views.
Trump will sit down and discuss his views and policy proposals with anyone who wants to hear it. ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC or FOX, makes no difference to him. And if they think he is lying, they are more than welcome to challenge him.
I kinda get it. The author of the article hasn’t heard a word in the 30 days since she was selected. Not a word. No interviews with even the most loyal MSM organization. One has to wonder what in the world does she stand for? It’s frustrating I’m sure.
All we know from her is that she is pro abortion up until birth. She hates fracking of any kind. She will let Trump’s tax cuts expire for everyone. Medicare for everyone, damn the cost. Open borders are a good thing. Oh and no tax on tips. Lol, a Trump proposal.
What is she afraid of?
We do not need to hear less from a possible leader of the free world. We need to hear more. We need to know what policies they would push to implement. What Executive Orders they would proclaim on Day 1.
Trump has tried to do that. Harris, not so much. Actually not at all …

This Administration is a real loser and we pay the price
If you’re paying attention you’ve heard the news that our economy generated nearly 1 million fewer jobs than had previously been reported. Bidenomics at work?! Then, it was reported that Homeland Security lost track of more than 300,000 illegal immigrant minors who’s whereabouts are anyone’s guess … child labor or worse (and remember how the previous administration was skewered for “ripping babies out of the arms of parents” … parents whose actual relationship was never proven … but certainly not 300,000). Crickets so far from the media.
That lead me to research further other “losses” by this administration, and there have been a frightening number including: 1) $87 billion of sophisticated military weaponry and 13 lives in our embarrassing withdrawal from Afghanistan, 2) tens of thousands of closed businesses that never returned and thousands of years of lost education for our kids because of government Covid mismanagement and overreach … history will ultimately record that while dangerous to a certain segment of the population the massive lock downs and punitive attacks on our liberty were scientifically unjustified, 3) And, then there’s the billions of dollars of lost buying power for average, working-class people because of crushing inflation caused by unnecessary government spending under the guise of things like the Build Back Better Baloney program and the Inflation Reduction Act. Again it’s the least able to afford government mistakes that end up paying the disproportionate price. Remember, inflation is cumulative so while the current rate is declining the damage has been done as those higher prices are now baked in.
There’s more but let me end by pointing out the more insidious. All this abuse is symptomatic of an even more concerning loss, that of our freedoms and our liberties. Anyone disagreeing with the current administration’s policies have been subject to ridicule, deplatforming and worse. When the government feels they can get away with stuff like this with not even a peep from the legacy media whose role is supposedly to protect us from this abuse of power then we, you and me, not the administration, are the real losers, and we pay the price.
