We must stand up against chaos

So, now dirty political tricks pulled by Democrats to win elections only cost them 5 percent of the wage they were paid by the people. We had to spend more than their wage on their investigation. Oh, and they have to pick up garbage for a week and not even spend a night in jail. Is that any sort of deterrent? I think not. What would the Herald call for if this had been done by Republicans? Something like their heads on pikes displayed on the city gate most likely? So, now politicians are free to do whatever it takes to win an election and hang on to the office until they are dragged out milking the public purse to the max. How long will the people put up with this sort of goings on?

We now have some 12 million illegal aliens (undocumented migrants) and tens of thousands of central American children pouring across our borders masking drug running and adult alien smuggling. All of this supported by the Democrats as a plan to support the Democratic Party in the future. It can’t go on like this. We have to rise up and take back control of our country and its borders. Our republic is the best hope for our future and that of the whole world. We must not allow it all to slip into chaos.
