Since the rules have changed and we can now poke at the other candidate for president I am submitting my reasons for not voting for Kamala Harris. I am one of the many independent voters in Tillamook county.
1. I have observed Kamala in her role as vice president. I have not been impressed in any way,
period. Not impressed.
2. The more I find out about her and listen to her
talk the more alarmed I am. Searching the internet I find lots of things that make her a very unattractive candidate but decided I would write about her stance on the important issues facing our country.
*The economy -inflation – Strong inflation did not occur until the Biden presidency. Donald Trump (2017–2021)
Average YOY Inflation Rate: 1.9%
Joe Biden (2021–)
Average YOY Inflation Rate: 5.2%*
*https://www.investopedia.com/us-inflation-rate-by-president-8546447.
Her solution to put in “price controls” are alarming. Throughout history this has never worked and causes food shortages and famine. Food shortages and famine are a globalists plan. I haven’t heard anything different from her so far. She listened to what Trump proposed for helping the economy and she said -OH! Yeah! me too. If Trump has a good idea about some tax cuts -Kamala says OH! “me-too” Oh – and the border – now she says Oh “me- too.”
She is your “me too” candidate for president!
The border. Crossing our border now, are drug cartels, human traffickers, armed young men of military age, lots of Chinese who have their own special route. Lots of fentanyl coming in to Oregon -a big enough problem here to pass some legislation about solving this problem.The reason countries have “borders” and a border check points are to keep out these kinds of people.
I guarantee you she will do nothing about the open border because that is a globalists policy – it is happening to other countries as well – open borders – This is a globalists policy – the purpose of which is to destroy nation states and have a “One World Government” She will not have a protected border. She is working for the globalists, although she probably doesn’t realize that.
Health Care: Many persons running for office are for “medicare for all” Obama ran on this – We vote for people who say they are for this, but we never get it. Oregon has been working on a medicare for all plan for a while but there is the Oregon Health Care plan now for medicaid and it has very serious problems. So I have no hopes for “medicare for all” in Oregon. Or in the USA.
Womans rights? I assume hers is the typical pro-choice stance, as is mine. And Trump’s is pro-life. In Oregon our Oregon constitution guarantees abortion rights so that is not a problem in this state. Pro-choice is here!
There is a childcare tax credit. It was 3000.00 when Trump took office – he raised it twice to 5000.00 and Kamala says she is going to raise it to 6000.00. That is her answer to the economy and young people who would like to be home owners. She says she will give a 25,000 dollar down payment to first time home buyers – well that is nice. Who is going to pay for it and will it be enough to buy a home? I don’t know and I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for this either.
Did Biden’s “pay off student loans work?” It looks like it didn’t according to the GAO. Here is your link www.gao.gov/products/gao-24-107150
What else?
She has failed miserably in all debates except the one by ABC which was totally stacked by friends in the media business: GOP congressman says ABC News may be called to testify about Trump-Harris debate fairness. Other than that she has failed miserably in debates or serious interviews –
and appears to be drugged. Seriously she does appear to be drugged, and I think she is. I tuned into the Oprah-Harris Townhall interview and was watching it – and it was quite embarrassing for Kamala. She actually once again appeared to be under the influence of something – drug or alcohol. My son and his daughter are here visiting. They are Kamala voters – I turned to Oprahs program for them but they said they didn’t watch stuff like that. I am convinced that they are voting AGAINST Trump instead of voting FOR Kamala. What are you doing?

Dear BBQ readers,

Actually I rather like the fact that the BBQ website doesn’t normally get into politics much. But as many of us know, this election has caused us a lot of anxiety so it isn’t too surprising to see more BBQ politics.

What i will add to the political discussion on the BBQ just before the election are some links to information.

Personally i’m pretty liberal so you can figure out who I am voting for. I have respect for the republican party of old, but it seems obvious that the party has gone a bit haywire since Trump got involved. Maybe the republican party needs to take the next four years and rebuild their platform.

If you support trump, you might want to read the material linked to below. They all warn against electing Trump, but they are respectable journalistic or otherwise well researched material.

Two articles from the New York Times editorial staff. One about Trumps fitness for office, and one about what Trump’s associates have warned about Trump. These are not partisan, politically biased articles, but are objective. Well, objective as much as we can be in these weird times.

www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/07/11/opinion/editorials/donald-trump-2024-unfit.html

www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/09/26/opinion/donald-trump-personality-history.html

And a third link, just published, is an article that released the JD Vance’s dossier that the trump organization compiled for their private use. Vance was highly critical of Trump before he became Trump’s pick for VP. Many people now realize Vance is a rather weird person. Since Trump is old and may not last his full term if elected, his VP, Vance, is someone you really want to be familiar with before you vote him into office. Not to mention Vance and Walz will be debating in a few days.

“Read the JD Vance Dossier
We’re publishing the supposed Iran-hacked document. Here’s why.”

Note, the article contains a link to the full PDF report on Vance.
