Presidential election and the media
All polls showed 70% thought the country was headed in the wrong direction. Ignoring this figure, mainstream media continued biased name calling and determined what we see, hear and read. The public responded in a big way.

The election
If all the lies the Democrats said about Trump were true and he still won the election what does that say about the Democratic politicians?
The majority of the American people did not believe their rhetoric.

Election results
Arnold Schwarzenegger played a character that couldn’t be reasoned with, couldn’t be bargained with, felt no pity, or remorse or fear, and absolutely would not stop; so why did he side with the presidential candidate who was the diametrical opposite? Arnold wasn’t alone. Trump won with both grit and panache.
I am proud of my vote, my financial support and persuasive efforts. I look forward to the fulfillment of the MAGA promises during the next term. God bless the voters across this nation who didn’t succumb to the lies of the left, or the self-absorbed “I just can’t vote for Trump” position. God saved Trump from the assassin’s bullet for this victory; let’s relish the moment.

To a great election day
This is a great day in my 82nd year on this Earth because Trump won, the Senate is in GOP hands and the House has a good chance of going GOP too. However, the best is that at 10 a.m. today, Nov. 6, I will get to see the six women on “The View” have to come to realize that Trump is in charge and they actually helped Trump win and that they have four more years to hate him. Ha, ha.

A message to the new president-elect
During the course of this year’s presidential campaign, Donald Trump has spoken openly about the people he hates.
Allow me to remind the new president-elect, “Hate will never make America great again.” Please govern wisely.
