Common sense: good sense in everyday affairs, practical intelligence. Not book knowledge, able to figure out the solving of a problem.

Evil: morally bad, wrong, sinful, wicked, corrupt, harmful.

The reason for my definitions at the beginning of this letter is so anyone can understand better when I use those words.

I wish more people (politicians or not) had more common sense so there would be less evil in the world.

I’m going to compare and contrast Democrats and Republicans. First of all, I don’t know where the Democratic Party is, so I will refer to them as the Democratic/Socialist/Progressive Party or DSP. The DSP has lost all common sense. Why would anyone want to support open borders, cashless bail, sanctuary cities (where no one is in charge or funding is not recouped) That leaves taxpayers paying for drug-infested compounds. How many Republican-led cities are sanctuary cities? You can’t have a free society with open borders and sanctuary cities.

DSP has shut down federal government two, maybe three times in the last 100 days. The last time (right now) over funding ICE. We know ICE is funded through 2027 or 2028. So the Secret Service, Coast Guard, EMA and TSA are without pay thanks to DSP. Not a common sense decision. The first shutdown cost the country over $55 billion and 8% of GDP.

Let’s talk ICE! The Trump Administration wants to remove as many illegals as Biden allowed into our country. Obama removed over 5 million during his term. Were there any protests then, peaceful or not? And how many Republicans, Independents, conservatives were paid to protest? When Biden opened the border, evil crossed into our country. Proof is in how many innocent Americans were killed by illegals. Why did this happen? The DSP Party had a person in office who was just the front man for this country. The pretend presidency of Joe Biden will go down as one of the most political happenings to our country by the DSP deemed as pure evil.

The open borders was to benefit the DSP with votes. Our constitution allows only legal citizens to vote. But some states have already allowed driver’s license to illegals to vote and operate vehicles. That has proven to have taken the lives of innocent Americans. And illegals have received many government funded free things and depriving legals of the same.

One more contrast. Republicans introduced the SAVE Act. Protecting voting in many different ways. DSP fighting by again shutting down government. The DSP can’t utilize the illegals if this bill passes. Evil.

DSP no longer cries abortion or Hamas! They cry Epstein and ICE. Not a policy that will be helpful for growth for our economy. Their evil hatred for our president and this country has taken all their common sense to be able to solve problems and replaced their thinking with evil hearts.
