The 2020 presidential election may well have been a blessing in disguise. Why? Because for the ensuing four years the American people were able to witness firsthand what can happen when a political ideology, not a president, is in charge.

We were told what kind of cars we needed to buy in the future. We were told our borders were secure while millions of immigrants streamed across illegally. We allowed Russia to invade Ukraine unchecked. We lifted sanctions on Iran enabling it to again fund terrorism. We enabled politicians in Washington to add about $8 trillion to our national debt, much of which went to pet projects related to “woke” policies. Simply put, our government was out of control.

Last Nov. 5, enough Americans woke up and realized the path we were on was leading to the doom of our country. Elections have consequences. May we never see another election like that of 2020 again.

As I watched the GOP members of Congress cheer the passage of their bill that will strip millions of health care, deny food to children and shred the Constitution, I felt sick to my stomach.

July 4 was a special celebration of the United States’ birthday. I don’t recall ever seeing such an outpouring of recognition of our country’s origins and greatness.
