The undecided

At least three percent of American presidential voters are โ€œundecided.โ€  In a tight race, provided the polls are accurate, such a modest percentage (158 million voted in 2020) translates to 4.7 million Americans remain fence sitters and could be the difference in Novemberโ€™s election.

Even Pope Francis is undecided, or is he? The pontiffโ€™s take on Americaโ€™s presidential race was concise saying, โ€œBoth are against life: the one that throws out migrants and the one that kills children.โ€ Francis advised American Catholics to โ€œchoose the lesser evil.โ€

How anyone who is paying attention has yet to make up their mind is astounding.  Conceivably, the undecided are more indecisive than anything, yet subconsciously they donโ€™t realize it. 

Perhaps the most potent of political questions that transcends every presidential election needs to be asked repeatedly:  

Are you better or worse off than four years ago?

A concise examination is revealing and all too obvious.  

As Vice President, Kamala Harris was appointed to โ€œstem immigration across the U.S./Mexico borderโ€ and permitted the wave of nearly eight million illegal and unvetted immigrants.  The results of which continue to flood our schools, hospitals, charities, courts and housing with an annual price of half a trillion dollars. The influx of illegals is dangerous and calculated as Democrats add to their constituencies knowing no illegal will bite the hand that feeds and enables them, while seniors have had to exhaust their savings or find employment to make ends meet.

American foreign policy has been a fiasco starting with the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal that cost 13 American lives while leaving billions in armaments to Americaโ€™s enemies.  When given a choice of supporting the police during the BLM riots, Harris balked. The Keystone pipeline was shelved, and energy expenses skyrocketed that fueled historic record inflation that saw insurance, utility and grocery prices skyrocket.   

Harris wonโ€™t come clean on her real priorities which amount to the redistribution of wealth by taxing unrealized capital gains, establishing price controls, while you pay for othersโ€™ college tuition and Medicare for all โ€“ including illegals.

One Harris proposal is a $25,000 down-payment on a mortgage courtesy of Uncle Sam that has nothing to do with buying a house; rather, itโ€™s about buying votes.

Harris will continue with the same economic and energy policies that brought upon the highest inflation rate in decades while identity politics continue to run amuck infesting every institution and level of government.  Harris may prove to be more disastrous that Biden, pleasing Americaโ€™s enemies.  

What has been totally dismissed during this campaign is how the trustees from the Social Security Administration have been ringing the bell that the SSI trust fund will become insolvent in 2033, while Medicareโ€™s insolvency will follow three years later in 2036.

Those infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome, which is actually the hatred of conservatives, has caused them to lose objectivity.  While the left nonstop compares Donald Trump to Hitler, is it any surprise that attempts on his life continue? Yet, it is the left that continues to assure Americans that the real threat is not the side doing the shooting.

Many will vote for Harris only because of their contempt for Trump, which on the deductive reasoning scale is a zero.  Recently at a stoplight, I was behind a Sheetz gas tanker that had an advertisement saying: โ€œI donโ€™t have to think. The app knows my usual.โ€ This is exactly what the left desires in its electorate โ€“ no need to think.

Provided he wins, Trump will serve only four years.  And for whatever reason(s) you loathe him, his policies were successful in growing the economy and keeping the nation secure.  

The deciding voter must choose between someone who changes as the moment dictates or someone who speaks the inconvenient truth, and has endured two impeachments, four federal prosecutions and survived two assassination attempts.  One at least loves the country, flaws and all. The other is a disciple of Saul Alinskyโ€™s โ€œRules for Radicals.โ€ 

Steering this ship of state that has lost its rudder takes leadership not a figurehead and definitely not a puppet.  Elections have consequences and we certainly get the leaders we deserve.

The direction couldnโ€™t be any more opposed: Capitalism or Socialism.

Still undecided?  

Then perhaps you need to sit this one out.
