How I should vote, should be determined by what I believe.
Holly Garcia has been a friend of mine for many years. I believe this article will benefit every believer who is looking for a proper way to state how they vote. Holly has given permission to share this position article. This election is critical for the continued preservation of this country.
This is a very small list of differences between President Trump and Joe Biden, plus revealing the goals between the Republicans and Democratic Parties. This is only to help you by being informed. Yankee
LAW ENFORCEMENT & CRIME
President Trump is clear in his position on Law Enforcement and our Constitution. We have a serious problem with Law and Order
that the majority of Democrats are ignoring. Some people very much
understand that this country is in a serious battle between good and
evil. We watch (and pray) as Democrat politicians excuse or even march
with the lawless — stealing, killing, raping, destroying, and burning
down our cities. They say nothing when our police officers are killed or
even ambushed. The Left haven’t called anyone who has been shot and
told him/her, “I’m proud of you”. Instead they’re silent when their
‘peaceful protesters’ mob the ER and try to block their entrance, all
while calling them “pigs who need to die”. These types of people are bad
seeds, and the lawless left is promoting these things while chanting ‘defund the police’ right along with the riotous mob.
I’m proud of and thankful for the Police Officers
that have been protecting and serving us. I’m not going to get into the
minuscule amount of bad apples in any organization. People don’t want
to be discriminated against as a whole because of bad apples in their
group, but evidently that courtesy does not go both ways. Incidentally, I
am also proud of and thankful for our firefighters, first responders,
front line medics and military.
With President Trump, we saw the crime rate falling
every year after the last two years of Obama’s term. He also stands for
law and order – highly respecting and supporting the police, first
responders, our border patrol, ICE officers along with our military. I
thank and pray for them all.
LIFE
As a believer, I am most
unapologetically pro-life. Killing a baby is a do-not-pass-go line for
me and for many Christians (and should be for ALL with no excuses). If not, why not?
President Trump has been
the most pro-life President we’ve seen so far ever. I also appreciate
that he made animal cruelty a felony. Most gave that lip service but did
nothing. Same with those who say they are also pro-life, but will still
vote for the most Pro-Abortion ticket in history. I’m appreciative of
Trump halting the money Obama signed into supporting foreign abortions.
God will not approve any of us turning a blind-eye to these murders.
Deliver those who are drawn toward death, And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.
If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it?
He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?
And will He not render to each man according to his deeds? Prov 24:11-12
ISRAEL AND THE MIDDLE EAST
I was so excited when
President Trump moved our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, which is the
Biblical capital of the Kingdom of Judah and the Jewish People. God
blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who curse it. I wonder
sometimes how it works for America when on the other hand we have all
these anti-semites among us. We have the openly anti-semitic Ilhan Omar.
Or even the VP hopeful, Kamala Harris, praising Al Sharpton (another
long-term anti-semite). Not too long ago, he led a mob targeting
innocent Jewish homes, breaking windows, setting cars on fire and
ultimately murdering an innocent Jewish bystander, all while chanting
“bloodsucking Jews” and “Jew bastards” — all over a tragic car accident.9
President Trump is
working on peace in the Mideast, and peace and economic development in
Serbia and Kosovo (his second Nobel Peace Prize nomination). Although we
know there will be the Anti-Christ who will be able to achieve or force
peace in all of the
Middle-East countries, this is different and Trump’s lineage doesn’t
fit. I only mention this as some naive believers tend to panic and think
they’re voting for the ‘man of peace’. Trust me, he is not ‘that man of
peace’ the Bible speaks of. The world is not saying “peace and safety”
right now (1 Thess. 5).
Doing well on his foreign
policies, he has done a lot to make us safer, energy independent, and
number 1 in Petroleum, crude oil production and natural gas.6 And he put the coal workers back to work. These things boost our economy and keep us as safe as the Lord allows of course.
SECURE BORDERS, SEX TRAFFICKING, PEDOPHILIA
Since President Trump took office in January 2017, there have been nearly 12,470 arrests for human trafficking, according to arrest records
compiled by investigative journalist Corey Lynn, and over 9130 victims
rescued. The most disturbing part of this is the false ‘fact checkers’
who debunk it based on the fact they say there is no evidence.15,16 They lie.
I agree with Trump’s war on drugs and spending money to fight
the opioid crisis, which also ties into the security of the borders.
Since I am living in a border state and have been the personal victim of
an illegal’s crimes against me and my family, I am thankful he wants to
do more to secure our countries borders and build walls to protect us
from not only drug cartels but terrorists from across the world. Remember 911?
Many came across the border through my state. Some dressed to look
different, yet carrying prayer rugs. This is not an isolated incident.
I am glad he put a quick stop to ISIS
and killed a bunch of high level terrorists without ever going to war
(as his detractors said he would). These terrorists are coming at us
from all angles. Not only do coyotes bring these people, but some are
sex traffickers that steal children and transport them both ways across
the borders. This is common knowledge, not racism. This needs to stop
and Trump wants to do this in securing our borders, Biden wants to open
them.
President Trump’s policies on Law Enforcement have already secured THOUSANDS of arrests of these sick sexual predators.7,13,15,16
He signed the “Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex
Trafficking Act” (FOSTA), which includes the “Stop Enabling Sex
Traffickers Act” (SESTA). Both of which give law enforcement and victims
new tools to fight sex trafficking. He also set up a national hotline
for people to report or victims to ask for help.13 Ask
yourselves, why hasn’t this kind of action been taken in previous
administrations concerning Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine
Maxwell, etc.? Why weren’t all the politicians and even some in law
enforcement (L.A. Psychologist, sheriff, police officer etc. were
arrested with thousands of pictures of child pornography). President
Trump shut down one of the largest porn sites and it serviced over 100
countries. NOW you know why the extreme left is so mad. This is their
world and Trump is cleaning it up with the help of many others. They
hate him.13,15
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was
one who changed some rape language to make it more gender neutral and
whereas it was originally rape if someone was 16 or under and didn’t
consent, somehow it got changed to twelve years of age (she wrote the
paper).2 I know that Snopes and such places have falsely
debunked this, but I went and looked at the paper myself, so see if you
understand it the same way (in footnote 2). So I for one am very
thankful he is appointing a third justice, and that the Supreme Court
justices he has already placed will be interpreting the law based on the
Constitution — the love of it, and our country.
Think about disturbing people like California Senator Scott Weiner
who passed a bill to legalize perversion being legal on younger and
younger children (much like RBG as noted above) — he was endorsed by
none other than Biden’s running mate, Kamala Harris.10
Kamala Harris has made
some very bad decisions in her career as an AG. Would you prefer her or
proven Vice President Pence as a possible President should anything
happen? Kamala Harris hurt many inmates, opposing DNA testing when she
was Attorney General that could have freed a lot of innocent men. She
failed to reveal evidence that could have freed 1,000 inmates (it was
done with a judge later). Why? You cannot play fast and loose with
people’s lives.14
HEALTHCARE
On O’biden care, my
premiums went up by 50% and my coverage and doctor availability dwindled
drastically. As a small business owner, I am thankful he stood for
several things. One is being able to band together with other small
businesses to get the same discounts in insurance, that’s a pretty big
deal. I also got a refund last year for them overcharging me, that was
also due to Trump. Market increase for competition is supposed to go up
at least 50% which will lower the healthcare premium for me.
As diabetics, I am very
happy he is fighting the cost of insulin as well as other prescriptions,
along with ceasing the pharmacist gag-order on sharing lower-priced
options and allowing imports on some drugs from places like Canada. I
like his ideas tax policies on those who are chronically ill (concerning
HSA savings in advance). Signing an Executive order making all health
care providers disclose the cost of their services, including hospitals,
so consumers can comparison shop is another healthy choice.
Our President signed the
Right To Try law allowing terminally ill patients access to experimental
therapies. I think on what this would have meant for my late husband
who died far too young. Try looking at RNC speaker Natalie Harp’s true story here.
I personally am hopefully
that potential therapies like HCQ and inhaled steroid therapy among
other things will be left between doctors and patients within reason. I
believe the President will work to make that happen.
CLIMATE CHANGE
I have opinions about the
‘science’ of Climate change as a believer. I know very well this earth
will be here 1,007 more years at least. God is in control, and the earth
is going nowhere till then.
I don’t like listening to
the Climate Change hypocrites ad nauseam who run their big cars, fly
their private jets, and have filthy, trashy, cities they never clean up,
and only get worse. They consume their steak and lobsters and champagne
and all the rich foods, all while telling you to do the opposite. Trump
may not see eye-to-eye with them on these things, but he did sign the
Save Our Seas Act funding millions each year to clean tons of plastic
and garbage from the ocean. He also signed the largest wilderness
protection and conservation bill in a decade (designated 375,000 acres
as protected land). He also extended the offshore drilling ban along
both Florida coasts as well as the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina.
I’m not going to get into
monies given to forestation, and who is responsible. Or the limiting of
selective logging and save the owls. Or the management of the forest
floors. A lot of these things contribute to the problem.
But I am going to state
it angers me that fires have been started and arsonists quietly arrested
in California, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Phoenix, Arizona (4 locations
near my house), and NOT ONE WORD from democratic politicians. Or there
is outright denial, blaming it all on Climate Change. Or worse, Black
Lives Matter and Antifa put out posts to suggest to their followers to
start fires to bring attention to climate change.
The vast majority of the
public just wants the truth to be told about these kinds of things. And I
have plenty of proof in newspaper stories, pictures and videos taken by
citizens, police stories, photographs of Molotov cocktails, as well as
true stories from arson investigators. So please do not tell me that
arson is not a large cause of these fires.
Some don’t like that
Trump withdrew from the Paris Accord. What some may or may not
understand, is the restrictive nature of such an agreement, and the
devastating effect it would have had on many things — including American
employment, our economy and even GDP (and more). I’m no expert, I’ll
leave it to you to decide.
AMERICA AND PATRIOTISM
Unlike the Liberal side, who have a suspicious D2America
slogan (I see it as ‘death to America’), President Trump loves America
and stands up for our country, law enforcement & freedom. I believe
he puts America and Americans first. He respects our flag and doesn’t
apologize for his patriotism, even as they use that to try to call him a
‘white supremacist’ or ‘racist’. We may not have permanent citizenship
in this world, but as Paul has citizenship in Rome and used it to
further his ministry, let us take advantage of the freedom we have,
while we have it.
If you choose to disagree
with Trump, you should remember you too are an American living here
freely. Our military has fought and died for your freedoms. Our
Legislators, Judges and Justices fight to keep the legal system from
growing corrupt. Mock if you want about George Soros heavily investing
in political races, not just for Politicians but also for many District
Attorneys who are letting out criminals left and right. This is not
conspiracy, this is a fact, and I believe President Trump is trying to
fight against this wickedness in high places.
Thankfully, Trump has
appointed more federal appeals court judges to date than any recent
president at the same point in their presidency.1 His appointees have been conservative Constitutionalists, unlike RBG who self-admittedly did not respect our Constitution.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU WILL GO WHEN YOU DIE?
RACISM
Not one of the Leftist
Democrats (that I know of) have donated their salary each year to needy
charities. Please correct me if you know one. But I know, it’s no big
deal to some because after all THEY would donate all their salary
right?…
Democrats consistently
call our elected President a racist or a white supremacist (as well as
those of use who support him), but his record speaks to the exact
opposite (if they could only break away from CNN and look for the truth
for once). They twist his words and flat out lie about him.
We know it was because of
President Trump’s economic policies that we have seen the lowest Black
unemployment rate ever. That included low Latino unemployment, females
and youths as well.
If you know anything about President Trump working with Tim Scott and his Opportunity Zones (2017), he increased jobs and investments focusing on helping poor areas (which includes many minorities). The poverty rate dropped to an almost two decade low, along with the poverty rate for African and Hispanic Americans reaching an all-time low since we first collected this data13. Prior to the unexpected coronavirus pandemic, more Americans were employed than ever recorded before in our history. These things SHOULD impress you – that is if some weren’t so full of bitter hatred.3, 4
School choice
will make quite a difference too for the education of many poor
minorities. This is another significant step forward against racism.
Directing the Education Secretary to end common core is huge, as well as
not allowing funding to any schools that promote the very racist and
violent group B.L.M. (Black lives matter organization). He also
increased funding for historically Black Colleges and Universities
(HBCUs) by more than 14%, and appointed a White House executive director
of those HBCU’s. The President received the Bipartisan Justice Award at a historically black college for his criminal justice reform accomplishments.
In our State has well as
others, he has done a lot to benefit the Native Americans here, enacting
3 historic bills. He also is working on the crisis of missing and
murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives, in particular women and
children.
Law and Order is crucial in this even as people say the opposite. We
need the policing of poorer communities, or heavy crime areas so all can
truly have freedom.
On the other hand Joe Biden has a long history of racism.
Along with being a Segregationist, counting Ku Klux Klan Robert Bird a
mentor, praising George Wallace (we know his history) and working with
other segregationists on what turned out to be his ’94 crime bill.6
At the same time in the 90’s, Trump was fighting for Jews and Blacks to
be let into the golf clubs. One of the clever things President Trump
did was to send them two classic movies about discrimination: ’A
Gentleman’s Agreement,’ -about a journalist who pretends to be Jewish to
expose anti-Semitism, and ’Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner’ about a white
couple’s reaction to their daughter bringing home a black fiancé.”5
PRISON REFORM
Many of you remember the
story of Alice Johnson being released. I also believe his prison reform
is a very good thing (and we definitely look in to doing more for real
reform). But he has given disproportionately sentenced people a second
chance, (many whom are minorities) in his 2018 First Step Act. This
provided not only more rehabilitation upon release, but judicial
discretion in sentencing for non-violent crimes, with 90% of those benefiting being African Americans.13 Unlike Biden’s crime
bill which displayed his absolute deep-seated racism and hatred for
blacks (based on Joe’s long Pro-segregation stance, and his many
comments about negros and racial jungles).
Trump is trying to put in
decent and honest Judges and Justices who will uphold the Constitution
and this will be good for us all regardless the color. We need Law
Enforcement to be properly trained and protected. We want the criminals
arrested, but we need to keep non-violent offenders from serving unfair
sentences.
VETERANS
MSN news reported,
‘Reporters are playing word games instead of reporting the facts, and
are failing to tell the public what millions of veterans know: the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has never worked better, in part
because President Trump gave veterans the real, permanent choice of
using private health care providers.’
I love the idea of the
V.A. hotline he established for Veterans, staffing it with mostly
veterans and their families. He has a completely different outlook than
the status quo of politicians, he is very creative and surrounds himself
with very smart people.
My husband and father,
cousins and uncles were Veterans, so we have had not so great dealings
with the V.A. in the past. So I am particularly thankful that the
President has made reforms to benefit them (and would be very happy for
more). We should take care of those who serve our country in this way.
I’m glad he’s bringing
troops home too, I think we’ve given enough to other countries who don’t
want us there anyway. Providing easily available mental support
healthcare for those who are troubled when they transition home was a
much needed decision. This includes preventive programs for Veteran
suicide.
THE ‘NEWS’ MEDIA
An article I read asked
if we disliked President calling out or correcting the media when they
were wrong. No, I love him calling out the media, I’ve despised and
avoided the manipulation by CNN, MSNBC and even some of the Fox folks.
And ‘talk’ shows like the ‘View’, or the immense social presence that
celebrities in Hollywood have to spew their hatred against the
President, while other conservative voices are silenced or censored. We
are no longer baseball and apple pie, but instead we have celeb
pro-athletes who are given a platform to show hatred to other races,
disrespect for the flag or our nation, the President or the party. Yes,
I’m sick of their extreme prejudice, and they need called out on it.
You may not like him, but
take some time to search these things out and ask what he has done for
America. And done with such a vast army of powerful special interests
fighting against him.
Do you need refreshing?
TRUMP ON OTHER COUNTRIES
We were declining at the
end of the Obama era in other countries favorable (or lack thereof) view
of the U.S. Since then, we have been steadily climbing.11
President Trump got tough
on trade with China and negotiated new trade deals with them as well as
other countries benefiting the AMERICAN worker first. He is making
other countries pay their fair share instead of us always picking up
their tab. European countries are starting to pay their fair share in
NATO. He is still working on bringing back jobs here. I never liked
NAFTA, so I’m happy he got rid of that as well. Billions and Trillions
have been brought back here due to so many other measures.13
Please prayerfully do your research.
While we may not like some of the things Trump has done in the past, or
some of the things he has said or the way he has said things, I’d ask
all who read this:
What kind of judgment do
you want for yourself? Someone who just judges by what someone tells
them, or gets reliable witnesses and listens to both sides? Do you want
to be judged with fair judgment? Are you without sin? If so, go ahead,
and cast that first stone.
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men; For
kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet
and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 1 Tim 2:1-2
There
is just too much in the way of his accomplishments to list here, but
here are a couple of places to consider reading more of them.
