EDITOR:

In response to Mr. Thomas Warstler’s letter (March 18), I’d like to address “Too many concerns to mention” by highlighting a few glaring realities–particularly within his own party’s agenda.

The Democratic platform is a masterclass in economic sabotage, social division, bloated bureaucracy, and foreign policy blunders. Their economic policies punish success, stifle innovation, and keep millions trapped in government dependency. By burdening businesses and workers with excessive taxes while fueling reckless spending, they drive inflation and devalue every hard-earned dollar. Instead of fostering self-reliance, they promote entitlement, where personal achievement is replaced by permanent dependence on government handouts.

Socially, Democrats have perfected the art of division. They weaponize identity politics, turning Americans against one another based on race, gender, and class. Their policies undermine family values, weaken communities, and prioritize criminals over law-abiding citizens. Under their leadership, cities are overrun with crime, homelessness, and failing schools–yet they refuse to acknowledge the disastrous consequences of their governance.

Worse still, Democrats champion government overreach at every opportunity. They wield regulations, censorship, and surveillance to dictate speech, behavior, and even medical choices. Exploiting crises to expand power, they strip away freedoms under the guise of “safety” and “equity.” The goal is unmistakable: a population that is dependent, divided, and obedient.

On the global stage, Democratic leadership has been reckless. They blindly follow weak, inept leaders into endless foreign entanglements, funneling billions into Ukraine while ignoring crises at home. Instead of safeguarding American interests, they bankroll proxy wars that serve the global elite and push us closer to conflict with nuclear-armed adversaries. Their obsession with virtue-signaling has led to humiliating withdrawals, failed negotiations, and a diminished standing on the world stage.

In stark contrast, President Trump demonstrates true leadership. His unwavering commitment to America’s strength and sovereignty sends a clear message to corrupt actors and hostile nations. Through decisive action, he holds foreign adversaries accountable, imposes tough sanctions on bad actors, and refuses to let America be exploited by globalist interests. His heavy-handed approach to corruption–both at home and abroad–makes it clear the U.S. will not bow to deception, appeasement, or weak diplomacy.

Under his leadership, America projects strength, ensuring that our enemies fear us and our allies respect us.

The path to prosperity, security, and freedom is clear: rejecting the Democrats’ failed agenda once and for all.
