At every rally, without fail, Vice President Kamala Harris gets the crowd to start chanting “we’re not going back!”
“Well, look,” she said in Pennsylvania last month, “America has tried those failed policies before, and we are not going back! We are not going back! Not going back!”
Well, look, Kamala, we want to go back! And we fervently hope and pray that most Americans do as well. And that they vote that way in November.
We want to go back to a time before Joe Biden and Kamala Harris wrecked the economy, before they unleashed the inflation monster, before they threw open the border, let criminals run free, and exuded weakness abroad.
In other words, we want to go back to a time when a tax-cutting, pro-growth, anti-regulation, strong defense president was in the White House and America was prosperous and the world at peace.
What we don’t want is to go forward with the Biden-Harris disaster, which is what Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will give us, good and hard.
So, as a reader service, we’ve gathered a brief sampling of reasons why the public should join us in desperately wanting to go back to the “failed policies” we had under Trump, and not continue with the “leadership” we’ve seen under Biden-Harris. (Readers are invited to add to this list using the comment section below.)
Inflation. Prices have climbed 20% in the three-and-a-half years Biden and Harris have been in office. That compares with 8% during Trump’s entire term. The massive increase in prices under Biden-Harris was exactly what many economists predicted would happen when the administration poured trillions of borrowed dollars onto a fast-growing economy.
Wages. Real wages are 2.5% below where they were when Biden-Harris took office. They climbed 7% during Trump’s first term – and had been up 10% before the idiotic COVID measures pulled them down.
National debt. Biden-Harris have added $7 trillion to the national debt – an increase of 25%. And monthly interest payments on that debt are now 200% higher than they were when Trump left office.
Crime. Biden-Harris keep crowing about how crime rates are down. But that’s not true. Even though rates have declined somewhat in the past two years, in many categories they are still much higher than they were under Trump. Murders in 2023, for example, were 18% higher in 2023 than they were in 2019. Assaults with guns were up 32%, carjackings had nearly doubled, according to the Council on Criminal Justice.
Illegal immigration. In Trump’s entire four years in office, roughly 2 million illegals were encountered at the border, most of whom were turned back. So far under Biden-Harris, more than 10 million have been “encountered” by border patrol agents after crossing illegally, and there have been some 2 million “gotaways,” as well. Under Biden, most of the 10 million who were “encountered” were simply waved into the country on the promise of showing up for an asylum hearing well in the future.
Direction of the country. Before COVID, 54% said the country was on the wrong track, according to RealClearPolitics. Today, 65% feel that way.
Confidence: Under Trump, the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index was consistently around 100. Today, it is 69.4, which is down from 79 in January.
National security. Under Trump, ISIS was quickly routed, Iran was on its knees, Russia made no moves against its neighbors, and Israel was signing peace deals with its neighbors. The Biden-Harris disaster in Afghanistan resulted in 13 dead American soldiers and left the Taliban with billions of dollars worth of U.S. weapons. Biden-Harris also unfroze billions of dollars in Iranian funds, which this terrorist nation then used to run a spy ring in the Biden administration, finance attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq and shipping in the Red Sea, and train Hamas for its ambush of Israel. Russia invaded Ukraine. China felt free to send a spy balloon across the entire U.S. And Hamas still holds Americans captive after almost a year of Biden-Harris dithering.
So, please, for the love of God, take us back!
BTTT
Democrats don’t want to go back. Why not? What’s their problem with PEACE and PROSPERITY??
Kamala, Honey, the truth can be a terrible sword, but the truth will set you free!
I would just like to ‘go back’ to being unburdened by Communists stealing elections
Truth was her buzz word for her last campaign.
Great summary of her “truth” Presidential campaign.
This time her chosen word is freedom. She’ll say it often tonight.
Of course, no journalist will call her out on the failed policies of HER very own administration, Biden-Harris.
She should be in Jimmy Carter territory, but apparently isn’t - shows how much this country has declined.
She just doesn’t understand what America (the Real one) does not want to go back to.
Freedom to have a gas stove in your house? Freedom to drive my gas powered car? Freedom to raise kids the way I see fit and not have them transformed at 5 years? Freedom to give all my assets to the government? Is she talking about that kind of freedom?
Cue Frank Stallone.
Carter was ahead in 1980 one week before the election.
