As we read the daily barrage of anti-Trump rhetoric in the Recorder, the question is often asked why anyone would vote for him. Thought I would share a few of my reasons. It took him just days to secure the disastrous mess at our border that Joe Biden repeatedly said couldn’t be done without an act of Congress. The record inflation from the Biden years is declining monthly. The savings for our country from DOGE continues to increase into hundreds of billions. He is preserving the tax cuts he initiated in his first term and will be adding to them. He attacked the unfair tariff agreements we had and we’re already seeing billions coming back to the U.S. He is deporting thousands of the worst illegals and will continue to make America safer — how many murders, rapes and crimes have already been avoided due to his efforts? He is reducing the size of government and the waste and fraud involved. I could go on and he’s just getting started. It’s time to give thanks that the left couldn’t jail him or assassinate him and we can now enjoy our country getting back on track.

This naturally led to some epic humidity, which has been a real treat for anyone who works in an office without air conditioning. Oh what fun it has been.

Folks on Plain Road East must be getting pretty desperate if they are concerned about the noise from the proposed dog shelter. Hey, come my way. Now we have almost continual concerts about a mile away at the brewery and they play til 10 or 11 p.m. Good if you don’t work or like rock and roll and maybe if you don’t have little kids who need their sleep, like the neighbors.
