1. If John McCain would have voted yes to do away with the Affordable Care Act during President Trump’s first term, we would not be in this predicament we are today. But he let hate vote instead what is best for the country.
2. If President Biden would have continued completing the border wall and keeping the border closed preventing illegal immigrants from entering the country, Trump would not have had to have ICE spanning the country to remove them.
3. If the cities and states that consider themselves “sanctuary” would enforce all laws, Trump would not have to send the National Guard to enforce the laws and reduce crime.
4. The Democrats had four years during the Biden administration to release all of the Epstein files but decided not to do anything. However, now that Trump is president, it is a priority to have them released. Go figure!
5. During the Biden administration the average yearly increase of inflation was 5% for a four-year total of approximately a 20% increase. During the first year of Trump’s second term, the average inflation increase is approximately 3%, or a 2% decrease in inflation.
6. On a lighter note, two great things occurred this year in local sports. James Franklin was fired as head coach at Penn State and Mike Tomlin resigned as head coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
