Dear Editor,

Before you read this letter, please check your forehead in the mirror. Did you see the word “stupid” tattooed there? I didn’t see it on my head either.

Yet, the DC Democrats think that we are not only stupid, but they also think that we have a short memory and don’t recall what they promised during the election.

News flash! Most of us have cameras with us 24/7, and news outlets have miles of video archiving what they said and what they are trying to do behind our backs. President Joe Biden said, “I will transition from fossil fuels gradually.”

So what did he do on his first day? He shut down the Keystone Pipeline and broke the record for political lies in one day. He lied to the 11,000 American citizens who lost their jobs with the pipeline. That is not counting their families and the thousands of jobs lost in supporting businesses. He did this in the name of Climate Change. How stupid is it to shut down American fossil fuels only to import those same fossil fuels from Russia and OPEC at higher prices? USA natural gas is 40% cleaner than Russia’s. The only thing the closed pipeline accomplishes is to make gasoline, heating oil and natural gas much more expensive for all of us with the poor suffering the most. What is the USA’s liability for all of the those broken contracts?

How stupid and criminal is it to shut down our Southern Boarder by presidential decree when the Constitution specifically states that the President’s job is to enforce all laws including the Immigration Laws on the books. If he doesn’t like them, there is congressional recourse for change.

Until then, he is braking the law by not enforcing the existing laws. How stupid is it for the president to illegally mandate vaccines and threaten businesses with fines in the thousands of dollars to enforce those mandates. When the courts said no, Biden went to OSHA as an end run around the law.

How stupid is it to demand that all of our citizens be vaccinated while millions of illegal immigrants with COVID, measles, and other childhood diseases are pouring across our boarder from over 100 countries and they are not required to be vaccinated.

How stupid is it to weaponize the Attorney General and the FBI to collude with the National School Board Association to label concerned parents “domestic terrorists.” That backfired in Virginia.
