Loving my neighbor with my vote
This election is about as clear as any presidential election in our lifetime. Both candidates have been a key part of a presidential administration, Trump as president and Harris as Vice President. Harris has made her alignment with the policies of the Biden-Harris Administration clear. Furthermore, because of Biden’s weak cognitive state, it is more than likely that Harris was leading more than Biden.
For these reasons, there is no excuse to not know the affect of our vote. We need only compare the policies of the Trump years to that of the Biden-Harris years.
Below are comparisons between Trump and Harris on five major policy areas. They unequivocally show that who is president of the United States makes a massive difference to millions, perhaps even billions, of people. Indeed a vote for Trump is not nearly as much about Trump as it is about loving our neighbors, from next door, to across our nation, to around the world.
If you are inclined to not vote, please consider the outcome for millions of Jews in Germany because the people in the German churches decided to stay out of politics. Staying on the sidelines, when the differences have real consequences is putting comfort above the well-being of your neighbor.
Energy Cost and Inflation
The chart below shows a stark contrast in regular gasoline prices under the policies of Trump vs. the policies of Biden-Harris. Once Biden-Harris policies drove the price of gasoline above Trump’s highest level, the price of gasoline never dropped down to even the highest cost under Trump.
This is not simply about gasoline prices. Almost everything we buy – groceries, clothes, home products, building supplies, cars, tools, toys, etc. – is tied to the cost of petroleum. The Biden-Harris high inflation is directly related to their dangerous opposition to oil being readily available at a low cost. The impact of that mindset on the third world is devastating, even deadly. (For more information on the good vs. bad debate over fossil fuels, consider reading Fossil Future, by Alex Epstein.) Small businesses, especially minority businesses, which had thrived under Trump, were hit especially hard under Biden.
It is dishonest for Harris to promote a livable wage when the policies she helps advance produce unlivable inflation. Policies are enacted intentionally to achieve goals. High inflation works as well as low wages to create a discontented working class that can be easily exploited to gain power.
Border with Mexico
Even without being able to finish the wall, Trump border policies created far more orderly immigration processes and a more secure border. When given the reigns of government, one of the first thing Biden-Harris did was overturn policies of Trump that were working, including ending work on the border wall.
Trump border policies helped inhibited drug and child trafficking across the boarder. Under Harris, empowered as the Border Czar, annual overdose deaths in America were over 100,000 in both 2022 and 2023 impacting millions who lost their loved ones. There is likely not a person in America who does not know someone who lost a friend or family member to Fentanyl. We need a serious president.
We must be cautious that we don’t embrace ideas that do not accomplish what proponents claim they will accomplish, or even worse be counter-productive. Here is a simple gumball model on world poverty that helps bring clarity to our current immigration policy.
Wars and Stability
Under Trump no new large-scale wars started, instead unimaginable moves toward peace and better relations took place.
- The Abraham Accord Peace Deal between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
- Crippled Iran’s ability to fund terrorism and its proxy-wars.
- A better trajectory in our relationship with North Korea.
Under Biden-Harris two major wars are underway and both were arguably encouraged by Biden-Harris policies. Minimally, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and millions displaced. These wars are a great cost to Americans in taxes or debt, but an even bigger issue is that they use up military resources and divert focus from a much bigger threat, that being the Chinese Communist Party’s expansionist mindset and growing military might.
- Harris’ February 2022 speech in Germany, which did nothing to lower the tensions brought about from efforts to bring Ukraine into NATO, presented a Vice President that was oblivious to the realities not far from her. Not only has Putin been consistently clear that Ukraine joining NATO was not an option Russia would accept, but he had amassed at least 150,000 Russian troops along the Ukrainian border to strengthen his position.
- The Biden-Harris administration wasted no time reversing the Trump Iran sanction policies, thus allowing Iran to rake in billions of dollars in oil revenue to arm its proxies and terrorist activities, as well as invest more in its own nuclear weapons program.
Could Harris not have tested Putin with consideration of a neutral Ukraine? After all the United States did promise Russian and Soviet leaders, as part of ending the Cold War, that NATO would not expand one inch to the east. In spite of that promise, by 2022 NATO had expanded eastward by 14 nations, and Ukraine would give NATO a nearly 1300 mile direct border with Russia.
We don’t have to agree with the positions of other nations, but to prevent wars need leadership that will at least try to understand them. How would we respond if Russia or China were about to enter an alliance that could put their military power on the Canadian border?
Democracy in America
Every election Trump has gone through the normal election process, never using his party to defeat his Republican Primary opponents, nor the government to defeat any opponent. By contrast, those controlling the Democrat Party have employed numerous shenanigans, law-fare tactics, and even weaponized government agencies for political purposes to force any real opposition out of the Democratic Primary Process, such as it was. They forced challengers to Joe Biden, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. being one, out of the Democrat Primary, ensuring Biden would win the “primary.” It is clear now after the smooth oust of Biden and in with Harris that the Democrat Primary was to clear a path for Harris to be the nominee without having to earn a single vote from the people. Harris proved her unpopularity among Democrat Primary voters in her 2020 run for president where she did not even make it to the first primary.
With a “nothing is off the table” attitude, Democrat Party leaders and their proxies used law-fair, weaponizing of government, and weak security to make it almost impossible for Trump to run an effective campaign. Truly the Democrat leadership seems open to anything needed for them to hold on to the reigns of power. That is what power does. It corrupts. After being elected in 2016 by our Constitutional process, long before Inauguration Day, efforts were rolling to remove Trump from the office the American people elected him to. With rare exception, the Democrat Party leadership, including those elected to Congress who need to work with the President for the good of the American people, never accepted that Trump was elected to office.
And somehow Trump is a danger to democracy! It has been said that if you tell a lie enough it will become the truth. That is exactly what we are seeing with those who only get information from adversaries of Trump. And the lies are numerous.
Life, death and the duty of civil government
Added 2024.11.03
The divide in our nation is between a culture of death and a culture of life. At its core the culture of death is an act of war against the God of creation and redemption. God’s created plan, recorded in Genesis 1, tasked man with bringing all things into their designed potential (to subdue). Human procreation (being fruitful and multiplying) was key to accomplishing that. Stopping that plan is the goal of the culture of death, with acts like abortion, hormone injections and genital mutilation of children, promotion of sexual relationships that cannot procreate, efforts to ban fossil fuels, which if accomplished would likely soon starve to death about half of the populations in third-world countries (see source under items 1, above), etc.
While the line between these two opposing cultures does not simply split between the major political parties, clearly the agenda of today’s Democrat Party as expressed in its platform, solidly embraces every culture of death item listed above, as does Vice President Harris.
Over five decades and four Republican Presidents, pro-life leaders and activists have held their March of Life rally on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, adding up to millions upon millions of people over these years. It has been unmistakably clear that overturning Roe was a high goal for pro-life Americans.
Then comes the election of Donald Trump, who seems largely pragmatic. He did not come with a history of being strongly pro-life, and he is arguably the least pro-life Republican president since Roe. Yet it is likely impossible to find a president who did more for the pro-life cause than Trump, with his three SCOTUS appointments who, along with two others, rejected Roe as a constitutionally sloppy decision.
Pro-life is a limited-government position
What is mind boggling is watching pro-lifers abandon Trump, who delivered for their cause, and even more so when you consider that not voting for Trump helps open the door for a federal right to abortion law. The biggest problem is the message they are sending to politicians, which is that the pro-life voting block is not reliable and the pro-life cause is not worth spending any political capital on. You give them what they could not even imagine and they abandon you.
Those who demand a commitment to a federal ban should understand they are asking to shift even more power to the federal government, which undercuts one of the most effective arguments against abortion, which comes from a limited-government perspective. There is no greater power you can give any government than the power to determine which groups have the protection of the state and which do not. We have lost thousands of Americans in wars against nations who have legalized abuse and even killing based on groups. How dangerous it is to give civil government the power to strip liberty and life based on subjective, non-criminal criteria.
Every time we look to the federal government for a solution we are further empowering the federal government. Consider all the powers that shifted from the state level to the federal because the evil of human slavery was abolished at the federal level. Likewise, look at the destruction and carnage in its wake.
The pro-life movement can now grow state by state and in a more civil way because at the state level people know each other. States that embrace the murder of children for the benefit of adults has deep problems which will be a curse, whereas states that embrace life will be blessed and flourish. What we really need to focus on is ridding our federal government of the power to take from one state and give to another. Feeling the pain from a bad idea turned into policy, is the best way to move toward healthy policy. Spreading the pain among the states disrupts that much needed feedback.
The state’s God-given duties are solidly pro-life – protecting innocent life and punishing evil-doers. Thus it is not only a right, but it is a duty of the state to secure its borders and have a military strong enough to fend off any foe.
This website is not about Donald Trump, nor affiliated or endorsed by Trump.
It is about the impact of our vote on our fellow citizens and people around the world. These ideas are not new and they will far outlast the Trump presidencies.
