25 years ago only the Muslim extremists hated America! Now, we have liberals hating the president and anything he does, and the Democrat leadership encouraging it! As sad as I was after 9/11, I'm more saddened by all the hate!

I'll never forget exactly where I was and who told me about the first plane AND I'll also NEVER forget the same City elected a Democrat Muslim Socialist, Communist Mayor. I guess the millions of new residents over the last 5 years must be Democrats.
I voted for Trump twice. Don't get me wrong, I'd still pick him over any of the choices, but the current state of affairs really wants to make me check out from getting behind any future candidate on either side. He came from outside politics, and I think we were all really hopeful about "draining the swamp."
But something that really impacts all of us -- and the price of just about everything -- are gas prices, which have been high for a while. Really disappointing.

I'm lucky in regard that I don't HAVE to put gas in my boat go for rides BUT I still have to buy home heating oil and it makes me wonder why it costs more than gas with many fewer steps to produce it compared to gas. I agree that Trump isn't great but way better than any Democrat NOW in the party.

I agree to disagree. Iran had the capability to drop an ICBM into any capital of Europe. Somebody had to break 50 years of appeasement. Iran is now purposely creating the circumstances to raise fuel prices hoping the public votes blue midterms and lame ducks Trumps last 2 years..
IMO the number one job of a leader is national defense and creating an economic upturn where everyone who wants a job has gainful employment. Howard Lutnick is commerce secretary. He lost 658 employees on 9/11 including his brother. He is a deal maker beyond comparison and has over a trillion dollars in contracts ranging from ship building in the USA, semi conductors in the USA, reopen the nuclear power industry etc.. The next generation has opportunities.
