Sick about it all

November 2, 2021 by Guest Post

by Jerry Esmay, Stevensville

I remain very upset with the recent debacle in Afghanistan. Again, I say this is the worst Military/State Department/Presidential failure in my life time. This has moved beyond just a screwed up Presidential mistake to, in my opinion, a criminal set of stupid decisions. If you watched the testimony that the DOD generals and civilians made to Congress, it was clearly shown that President Biden was telling a flat lie when he reported to us that all of his advisors were in agreement with his decisions. We still don’t know how many American citizens are still left behind. The equipment we left behind not only provides additional weaponry for future terrorists but gives our adversaries insight into our technology. Unbelievable! 

How about the continuing invasion at our southern border? What the President is allowing to happen there is TREASON – we are being invaded. His first priority as President is to provide security for the nation. Latest statistics I’ve heard are that over 1.7 million illegal entries have occurred since he took office. In addition to this, the Border Patrol reports that another 300,000 individuals have been caught on cameras/detection devices who were not caught. His administration continues to downplay this problem by hiding what is going on — illegals are being flown into sanctuary cities at night as a means of downplaying this problem. Oh, we continue to be reminded that border walls are ineffective and not worth the cost.  Did you hear that YOU are paying $500,000 to have a security fence built around the President’s summer home?

I can’t end this letter without bringing up the Biden family scandal that the “fake news media” continues to hide. If you haven’t noticed, evidence continues to mount that members of the Biden family including his son got rich while the President was Vice President by selling access to him (documented on son’s laptop computer.) How about the art the son is selling for exorbitant amounts?

I end with a few comments on China. Our politicians since the Nixon regime have sold us out to the communists. Have you stopped to think about how much of what we currently consume comes from China? Do you realize that they dominate (basically have a monopoly) on computer chips? Car production by GM has been slowed down/stopped because of a shortage of computer chips. How did we let that happen? If you take the time to look at where most of our pharmaceuticals come from, you should be equally shocked.

Folks, I am sickened to my core with what is happening to this great country, and I haven’t even touched on the subjects of parents being told they have no say is their children’s education, Critical Race Theory, defunding the police, etc.

    I agree…
    Those who disagree must be living with no newspaper or internet access.
    Doesn’t need to publish facts…all one has to do is read,
    Thx Mr. Esmay

    I suppose if any of Esmay’s “facts” were true, there might be some cause for alarm. Fortunately, as in all Esmay writings, very little information presented as “facts” are actually true.

    Esmay simply regurgitates misinformation in his writings. And then issues dire conclusions and warnings. Why? Because he likes the dour results they lead him to. I.e. they justify his pent up hate and anger.

    Does he know the difference between truth and lies? I don’t think so. Along with many, many people in the Bitterroot Valley, he is simply too stupid to know how stupid he is. All of this ilk suffer from this same lack of insight.
