The results of the recent election (2022) were a little
surprising to me and somewhat disappointing.
It seems the good old US of A is continuing to trend downward – just my
opinion. With the Democrats still apparently
hanging on to the catbird’s seat – assuming they take the Senate as is
anticipated – we can look forward to more crime, more illegal drugs, more
illegal immigration, higher inflation, unrestricted abortions up to the moment
of birth, and more socialism promulgated.
Incidentally, Oregon passed, what is considered to be, the strictest gun
control measures in the country. Is gun
registration the prelude to confiscation?
Perhaps.
That said, it appears that everyone, with the possible exception
of 'the ordinary' Oregon citizen, got something – perhaps the repercussions are yet
to be known. I’m trying to be
circumspect about the situation. I was
but a wee babe when WWII ended. In life, I
had good parents and grandparents, many good friends, and received a Bachelor’s
and Master’s Degree at a price I could swing while I worked full time. Furthermore, I have had a wonderful wife of
more than 50 years and, all things considered, a good life. All I can say is ‘good luck’ Oregon. You’ll need it.
One more thing, I believe there is the underlying issue of
Donald Trump – his influence on the 2022 election and his apparent intention to
run for President again. I don’t believe
his participation was particularly helpful this election. I am hopeful that he will not run in 2024;
and if he does (regardless of his Democratic opponent) I think he will
lose. I voted for him the first time… or
perhaps I voted against Hillary Clinton.. perhaps both. And I think Trump was a pretty good
President; but his time has passed.
