Certain media outlets want you to believe what they say, not what we see.

Joe Biden was able to run on promises last time, but now he has to run on his record, not rhetoric. The truth is, his record is beyond dismal.

It’s true that we are a nation of immigrants — that’s what makes us both unique and great. Our immigrants have brought diversity, maintaining their heritage along with adopting American values.

But what we see is chaos at our border. Our nation has a process, and the process is broken — and Joe Biden broke it. It’s not acceptable nor prudent to allow an unmitigated flow streaming into our sovereign nation. Americans deserve better than to see endless humans being trafficked by cartels who have enriched themselves by poisoning our sense of decency to those less fortunate.

I’ll tell you what else we saw: We saw the disastrous Afghanistan pullout that lead directly to the Russia-Ukraine war. A Mideast policy that emboldened Hamas to invade Israel, killing thousands of innocent Jews. In less than four years, we have two wars and have abandoned six embassies because of these policies.

Bidenomics has created more spending and class warfare. A family of four spends $11,400 more a year than four years ago for the same goods and services. And, still, the administration wants to spend their way out of it.

A draconian vaccination mandate that further divided us and a domestic policy of appeasing criminals instead of protecting American citizens.

Gas and oil prices setting record highs, further taxing Americans, along with an energy policy that has enriched our enemies but not America.

So, media can pretend we can’t see, but the reality is that we see it all, and what we have seen has not been pretty, nor acceptable to giving President Biden four more years of consideration. His time is ticking, and voters will hold him accountable for the devastation of America.
