Recent polls show the American people think everything is getting unaffordable and they’re struggling to get by. I have a question, if things are so bad in your everyday life, how did Black Friday sales hit record highs? People need to live within their means so they can afford the everyday costs of living. And remember, prices are high now because of the 21% inflation under Joe Biden. It takes a lot longer for prices to come down once they’re up.

Left-wing Democrats blame Trump and Republicans for the affordability problem failing to say the Biden Administration left the Trump Administration with hyperinflation, high gas prices, high food prices, high energy costs — caused by four years of wasteful spending. Today, local gas prices are below $3/gallon; egg prices and other food costs are decreasing. Trillions of dollars are being invested in U.S. manufacturing, technology, energy and the economy, creating jobs. Grocery prices will continue downward as shipping costs decrease.

With no facts, 70 people in boats leaving Venezuela have been murdered by this administration because they “think” they are “allegedly” running drugs, YET, Trump pardoned the former Honduran president from his drug trafficking charge in the U.S. Pot/kettle. Trump pardoned a private equity owner who had just started his prison term after bilking people out of over a billion dollars. Trump continues to pardon the “unpardonable,” those who have committed the worst crimes against humanity.

There’s extreme sadness in that ambush of the National Guardsman and Guardswoman. Trump has been told for months he was increasing tension with this military presence in urban areas. I’m afraid this is not the last of these incidents. Can someone tell me if these two military kids had police training? Were they mature enough to be vigilant? Doing what they were asked requires alertness. Instead of using the military, Trump needs to better fund local police.

Let’s have some investigative reporting: Why can’t the community use the Wellness Center? Why isn’t work being done on the former YMCA building? Why haven’t roads been salted when it has snowed? Why aren’t our “leaders” more involved in getting a hospital here? What have City Council members done to deserve that outlandish raise? All fair questions … any answers?

Here we go again. Trumbull-Insight is open … Trumbull-Insight is closed. Who knows from day-to-day what medical service is available for Trumbull County? Face it — this is a medical desert for hospital care. Where is Gov. DeWine? There has been no help from his office since this chaos began. And where is the Steward CEO who is responsible for this? He should be in prison, but he is enjoying his mansions, his yachts and his billions of illegally gained dollars.

Amy Acton is a doctor, who with the full support of our Republican governor, followed the science and encouraged Ohioans to get vaccinated for COVID. The vaccines were some of the safest and most effective vaccines ever produced. Unfortunately, many chose the Trump solution ignoring the vaccines, causing many to become infected and hospitalized, and thus forcing the shutdown they complain about. Acton’s leadership is rooted in public health expertise rather than political ambition. Plus, she cares for ALL Ohioans.

Liberty contributor believes “boaters” leaving Venezuela “could be” immigrants fleeing. Our CIA, NIH and Department of War have intelligence that they’re not. We’re murdering drug dealers for murdering Americans. Why can’t the Democrats care about Americans? Even with government subsidies, the ACA is a failure — causing premiums to rise for everyone. Trump is right to give the money directly to us and we purchase our own plans, not giving the money to insurance companies in bed with the Democrats.

Ironically, the commies and The Bible agree; greed is the root of all evil. However, the godless commies decided to murder all the rich in their soulless solution. It couldn’t work for many reasons. So then, is there a solution? Being a brilliant business person is not corrupt. However, there are networks of corrupt government employees secretly working with corrupt businesses to steal a better future from Earth’s children. Only global anti-corruption and total transparency can stop them.

If you Google AI, the top characteristics of a good leader, either secular or biblical, Donald J Trump has none of them. I challenge any of his supporters to try it and analyze it honestly. Trump pretends to be strong, but he has always been a spoiled country club golfer. His greatest skill is bullying his rivals and that entertains MAGA. The whole world is laughing at the USA.
