The world is aware that Vladimir Putin rigged our election to favor Donald Trump. The questions is why? The answer is simple, but you will never hear the truth from any branch of the mainstream media. Unlike Trump, Putin is an intelligent man. He is fully aware that defeating the United States would never be accomplished with tanks, warplanes, or nuclear weapons. Destroying America will be accomplished by isolating our nation from our allies, and brainwashing the American people. Both of these methods are underway and succeeding.

The United States of America is not more important than any other nation in the world, contrary to what Trump and his hypocritical party might want you to believe. Nation’s are composed of people. Governments, businesses, and other institutions exist to serve the people. We are not a great nation. Studies reveal the truth; we are rated 14^th in the quality of life for our people. Racism and bigotry are at the forefront of politics; this is the ‘Trump Effect.’ Allies we have cherished and relied on for more than 100 years are moving away from us. Polls reveal an alarming fact; millions of uninformed Americans believe Trump although the facts prove that he has failed to offer a single truth in his 16 months and 25 days in office. Is the end of our forefather’s dream approaching at an alarming pace? Is Trump a Russian agent who is obeying his puppeteer’s commands?

If you think I’m crazy, you may be right; but not when I write about politics. I report the truth, and I’m one of the few in America who offers facts; I refuse to ‘drink the Kool-Aid.’

This midterm election is the most important in history. Independents and Democrats must regain control of our government if our nation is to survive Tump’s illegitimate presidency. Please vote all, and I mean all Republicans out of office; they are the enemy of the American people.
