On The Road Again
Millions of Americans are doing just that today “on the road” taking part in the third “No Kings” protest. If you’re paying attention, it’s easy to understand what is driving this exploding protest. They are taking over the country to say “No Kings”.
The public is frustrated by President Donald Trump himself. Even a Fox News poll (Trump’s station of choice) released this week found 47% of those questioned disapprove of Trump’s presidency.
Driving this frustration is inflation, which is driving up prices and raising costs compounded by “Trump’s War” in the Middle East. Polls and stories from many sources show Trump’s judgement is being called into question at home and abroad.
In the past foreign conflicts have helped previous presidents rally the country “around the flag”…but not Trump. His Middle East conflict and inability to be honest with the America public are among the reasons millions are protesting him today.
Trump has put his own interests ahead of his countrymen and in the process has put his own political party in jeopardy with the voters as they head to the polls in November. Those who go to vote will exceed those who are marching & protesting today.
Can’t you just hear Willie Nelson singing “On the Road Again”.

Books
Books elect presidents not a slick pamphlet laid out like a magazine. The Obama campaign’s release of this last minute brochure makes him look a candidate running for almost any office on a shoe string budget. Obama’s brochure has 20 pages covering manufacturing,...
