Don’t Believe the Lies, America!

On November 3rd, you will make some of the most important decisions of your life. Your vote is crucial in determining the future of America: socialism or democracy. Don’t base your decision on the blatant lies prevalent on the news media and social media. The alleged failures of the current administration and legislative majority are easily debunked if you just do even a cursory search for the statistical truth. Please take a reality check.

On September 15th, the Reuters News Agency published an artical highlighting the recent findings of the Census Bureau regarding the economic state of the U.S. Reuters is widely considered one of the most reliable and objective news organizations in the world. The non-partisan Census Bureau released statistics showing that 2025 produced the highest median household income and the lowest official poverty rate in the history of the Bureau’s tracking of those statistics (over 60 years). Median household income was $87,460, an increase of 2.6% over the previous year. The number of people living in poverty was 34.5 million, or 10.2% of the population, a .5% decrease over the previous year. Sure, we all wish everyone made more money and fewer people were in poverty, but, let’s acknowledge the fact that it is the best in at least 60 years.

But these favorable statistics have not been steadily improving throughout the past decade. The after tax income during President Trump’s current term is up 3.9%. The next highest annual increase was in Trump’s first term at 3.1%. However, between Trump’s terms, President Biden’s term produced an after tax income decrease of 1.2%.

Okay, so the average incomes are up, and the poverty rate is down, but what about the inflation that is killings us?

Actually, the inflation rate when Trump left office in January of 2021 was 1.4%. That rate jumped to 9.1% during the Biden administration. Granted, Trump entered his second term in January of 2025 with inflation back down to 2.4%, and it is now slightly higher at 3.4%, mainly due to the war with Iran. But there is no doubt that we are still feeling the effects of the aftershocks of the 9.1% rate from the Biden years. That rate followed Biden and his Democratic majority House and Senate passing the American Rescue Plan ($1.9 trillion), the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ($1.2 trillion), and the Inflation Reduction Act ($100s of billions). The Republican minority in both Houses vehemently opposed all three bills. That outlandish spending by the Dems increased the national debt by nine trillion dollars and sky-rocketed inflation.

Okay, but these soaring Trump gas prices, what are we going to do about them? Yes, gas is high almost totally the result of the essential Iran war. The highest average gas price during the Trump second term was $4.54. But let’s not forget the pre-war price of gas during the Biden administration peaked at $5.02.

The stock market reflects the confidence investors have in the U.S. economy. The S&P 500 is the measure of valuation for most companies in the market. It is up 28% since Trump took office in 2025 (36% since his election). This rise included 64 record highs since he entered the White House with a Republican majority in both chambers of Congress (74 record highs since the election). How often does the media remind us of that? We only hear when there is a decline.

Well, what about the homeless living on the streets and others who can’t get jobs in this economy? The U.S. level of employment at the end of Trump’s first year of his second term hit an all-time high of 164 million. Although the latest number is down about a million from that, employment is still at a near record level. Unemployment is currently at a healthy 4.1%.

Have you heard the Democratic Party’s plan to deal with the economy, or anything else for that matter? Neither have I. The Democrats are asking for your vote because: Trump bad, inflation bad, war bad, Israel bad.

So, yes, prices are high, especially gas, and that is the biggest concern expressed through every poll assessing American woes. It is what most Americans say they will be considering when they vote in November. Somehow many of us have lost sight of the critical necessity to defeat the nuclear threat of the most terroristic nation in the world. Unfortunately, most Americans refuse to seek the truth but would rather rely on the lies of the mostly left-leaning media. (By the way, not one mainstream media outlet reported on the positive Census Bureau data). According to most media, inflation is out of control–the highest in history–gas is eating up everyone’s dwindling income, and the only hope is to elect a Democratic majority in the House and Senate, then hope for a Democratic president in 2028. That kind of erroneous thinking will turn over our great nation and your children and grandchildren’s future to a radical government open to socialism and with a disdain for democracy.

A Democratic majority Congress would pass socialist-leaning policies, reopen our borders to foreign criminals, hamstring law enforcement, raise taxes on everyone, attempt to impeach the president and members of his cabinet, try to restructure the Supreme Court, ditch the filibuster, move to discontinue the electorial college, establish Medicare for all, enact government funding for abortions, stop deporting illegal aliens, accelerate the the national debt to support unsustainable liberal policies, stop U.S. support of Israel, and much more that is aimed at destroying the capitalist democracy foundation and individual liberty that made America the greatest country in the history of mankind. Are we really going to turn our nation over to these radical socialists that the Democratic Party has become? Do we really hate Trump’s personality and high prices so much that we are willing to hand over America as we have known it to a party that is in complete chaos and inviting radical leftests to the table?

Before you vote, please do your own research and tune out the liberal media. Do it for your future family.

Why the 2020 Census Was a Sham

President Trump has just directed the Department of Commerce to plan for a new census that would exclude illegal immigrants. Whether that is possible is questionable, but the record high number and percentage of illegal immigrants currently in America and counted in the census is a travesty. Most of these “criminals” reside in blue states adding to the states’ population which determines their number of congressional seats.

After four years of the Biden administration’s open invitation for illegal immigrants to invade America, the consensus is that we now have an estimated 18.6 million illegals inside our borders. This is after a major surge of illegal border crossings in 2024. Other estimates are 20 to 30 million. That amounts to about six percent of our population living here illegally. With a largely disproportionate amount of these illegals in blue states where they are treated with all kinds of protection and entitlements, Democratic congressional seats are obviously benefited. Congressional seats are based on state population as reported by the Census Bureau, which counts everyone, legal or illegal. Is there any doubt why Democrats champion illegal immigration?

The Census Bureau has historically counted every nose in the country regardless of status. But who would have ever thought we would someday have 20 million unauthorized immigrants that would be counted. And they shouldn’t be counted. They are here only because we can’t find them and deport them fast enough. Yet, they are a political advantage to their state of residence in that they count toward the state’s population which determines how many congressmen the state has. How unfair is that?

Although Texas and Florida have a large number of illegal immigrants simply because they are states with the most illegals entering, California has the highest number with almost three million. Also, at the top of the list are blue states New Jersey, Illinois, and New York estimated at around a half-million each. Each U.S. representative represents an average of 780,000 constituents. If the 20 million illegal immigrants, concentrated in the blue states, were no longer part of that number, many districts in those states would shift to Republican majorities. Most research estimates that excluding illegals from the calculation of congressional seats would result in over 20 additional Republican seats. The Republicans’ present House majority of only seven votes means they can only lose three votes to prevail in any floor vote. An extra 20 Republican votes would be huge. The narrow Republican House majority is because of the 20 million illegal immigrants who have invaded our country. They could lead to the Republican loss of the majority in 2026. Remember, theoretically, the illegals don’t vote, but they control the party numbers in Congress simply by their inclusion in the census.

We hear a lot about Democratic efforts to grant citizenship to illegal immigrants or otherwise giving them the right to vote. Of course, they would vote for the party that brought them into the country and gave them free entitlements. But most important to the Democrats are the congressional seats the illegals bring to their blue states just by their settling there. It is no wonder Democrats want wide-open borders, create sanctuary cities and states, and fight against ICE captures and deportations with a vengeance.

But will President Trump be able to correct this unjust circumstance with a new census that excludes illegal immigrants? Probably not. Certainly not before the 2026 mid-term elections. He attempted to fix this inequity in 2020, but a federal court rejected the effort. Subsequently, the Supreme Court declined to hear the case on a technicality. The 14th Amendment of the Constitution calls for a census every ten years to determine congressional seats by state. It also specifies that everyone be counted regardless of citizenship. However, the Amendment excluded most Indians. Over time, Indians became a part of the count, except for a small number who still have strong tribal connections. Whether Congress could legislate a similar exclusion of illegal immigrants is much debated and would end up back in the Supreme Court.

I applaud President Trump’s challenging the nearly two-and-a-half century precedent of including illegal immigrants in the census. The vast number of illegals in our country today is unprecedented and requires a relook at how we count our people and fill our congressional seats. I invite your thoughts.
