The BS party
Some of the elite leaders of the national Republican Party are not the best thing since chocolate, but there are some patriotic party elites who are trying to save America.
The group of elite leaders of the national Democrat Party are “Bolshevik Socialists” — BS for short. Whenever they say or do anything, I just remember their initials. Each individual elite member of the BS party I call a FART (Fanatic, American hater, Radical, Tyrant) and their ideas really stink.
If I wanted to be completely uninformed about what is happening in America and the world, I would only get my news from the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC. These corrupt so-called news organizations censor free speech and they decide what we hear and see.
They are subservient to the Democrat “BS” Party and they function the same as Pravda did for the USSR Communist Party.
Fox News is not perfect, but they tell and show what’s happening.
Under Biden’s leadership and with hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars our vets and all American citizens get free room and board, free health care, free attorney help, free telephones, free credit cards, free schooling and free travel to anywhere in the U.S., and they don’t have to prove identity. Also they can beat up cops, walk out and give America the double bird. Oh wait, I’m wrong, our vets and American citizens can’t get or do any of those things — only illegal aliens can.
Biden’s open border allowed 10 million plus illegals to invade the U.S. It’s our no. 1 national security threat. Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is breaking federal law and he isn’t following the Constitution by his arrogant refusal to stop the invasion on our southern border.
What do you think should happen to Mayorkas and his boss?

Trump’s party
You will find more fervent Trump supporters than Mazi Pilip, who just lost New York’s special election to replace disgraced congressman George Santos. But this was what she had to say about former President Trump in the days leading up to her loss: “If he could come to help me, I would appreciate that … he was a great president, he did great things.”
Still, Trump railed at her, saying she was not loyal enough to him and that this is why she lost. And we all know, if there’s one thing Trump can’t stand, it’s a loser.
It’s true that in safely red districts where they probably would anyhow, a Trump-endorsed candidate usually wins. But it’s becoming more and more clear that Trump-endorsed candidates in swing districts usually lose. Which is a problem for the leader of a party who can’t stand losers.
I’m reminded of what Trump had to say about Sen. John McCain, who spent much of the Vietnam War refusing early release ahead of other prisoners while being tortured as a P.O.W. after the plane he was flying was shot down: “I like people who weren’t captured, OK?” Yuck.
This is who the Republican Party has chosen to run the whole show — someone who abandons anyone along the way if they show the slightest sign of weakness. This is an insane and immoral choice — like a coach who gets rid of anyone on the ball team who strikes out even once. Pretty soon, you don’t have a ball team.
Where are the moral Republicans with spine to stand up to this guy? Do we really want to stand behind someone who can’t tolerate loss, who will never admit to making a mistake?
