What’s happening to our country?

by Jerry Esmay, Stevensville

What’s happening to our country? Maybe better worded as – why are we allowing our country to be ruined? Let me share a few of my concerns.

Demonstrations occurring across the nation in support of the Palestine situation in Gaza have been allowed to expand to out-and-out support for the total elimination of Israel and the Jews; AND, in some cases support for the “death of America.”  Why haven’t these radical movements been stopped? These demonstrations have moved way beyond “peaceful.” The fact that many of these demonstrations are occurring at or near our most prestigious universities should also cause us to question what is going on.

Our borders, particularly the southern border, remain open. Recent numbers I have heard are ten million illegals have entered our country since Biden took office to include one and a half million “gotaways.” This INVASION has been allowed and encouraged by the Democrats. Just earlier this month, the Democratic controlled Senate refused to even discuss the impeachment of Mayorkas which had been sent forward by the House of Representatives. In case you have missed it, Mayorkas has contended for the last three and a half years that, “the border is closed and secure.” Duh, I hate liars.

Speaking of liars – how can you believe anything President Biden says? More importantly, how can you approve of his remaining in office? His handling of classified documents was shown to be a total disregard for security but he has avoided being prosecuted because he was judged to be, in the words of the Special Prosecutor, “… an elderly man with a poor memory,” who a jury would probably be sympathetic with. Again, duh!

Are you tired of the Tester ads yet? Hopefully, you are aware that his re-election has been identified as one of the most likely Democrat Senate positions to be replaced with a Republican.  Thus, millions of Democrat election money has been sent to Montana to make him look like the “shining knight” trying to save the country and to discredit his challenger.  One ad in particular tries to convince you that he has been trying to correct the border problem to include fighting against the President’s agenda. I contend this is another example of lies since he consistently votes the party line.

Finally, I would hope that you are sick and tired of the corruption that is and has been occurring in our legal/justice systems. The persecution of former President Trump is unbelievable to this writer. Again, if you aren’t watching Fox News at least once in a while, you are participating in the greatest “brainwashing” that has ever been launched on our citizens. Trump’s current trial is a travesty of justice. The case is based on misdemeanors whose statute of limitations has already elapsed which have been used to resurrect a federal felony which the feds have already judged to not be prosecutable. Are you familiar with the idea of a Kangaroo Court? The definition involves someone being found guilty of a crime without good evidence, and the principles of law and justice are disregarded or perverted. That, readers, is what is taking place here. The goal of these folks is to keep Trump from being able to campaign and to get re-elected.

I try to be optimistic but I’m not sure our country will be able to withstand the evil that is currently occurring.
