The name of this blog is Pink’s Politics. The name comes from my high school nick-name “Pink” which was based on my then last name. That is the only significance of the word “pink” here and anyone who attempts to add further or political meaning to it is just plain wrong.

Endorsement

 

Just in case anyone was wondering, this is whom I endorse, this is whom I have already voted for.

We are choosing the president of our country, not a pal, not a religious leader, not a cheer leader.  Simply look at the qualifications of each candidate for the job. 

Harris is clearly unqualified.  She can’t articulate her policies or plans if indeed she even knows what they are; moreover, she lies about most of what she has done and said in the past.  Her entire campaign seems to come down to fearmongering and trashing Trump.  But, sorting through the clutter one can determine that her intent is to totally transform this country and one primary way she will do this is to greatly diminish if not completely eliminate our cherished First Amendment rights.

Trump, based on his record 2016-2020, was indeed able to make the country better – economy, jobs, international relations, etc.  There were no wars. America felt strong.  His language was (and is) sometimes crass, but his actions were (and are) directed at benefiting America and Americans.  The ugliness of that time period was actually in large part brought on by the opposition and its constant (and often unfounded) attacks on Trump and those who supported his policies (see many of my blogs during that period).

The media, for the most part, does its best to paint a favorable (and often false) picture of Harris while painting a highly unfavorable (and almost always false) picture of Trump.  Hopefully that media is not fooling most of the people who hopefully are thinking for themselves.

Likeability is not a necessary qualification for the office of president of the United States of America.  Nor is being able to claim first woman status in holding that office.  (Women, let’s pick someone who is actually qualified to be that first!; someone we can truly be proud of). Looks, favorable or unfavorable, do not qualify or disqualify.  Nor does one’s personal morality (both of these candidates have some failings in that regard, as do most all politicians and indeed most humans).  We are not electing the winner of some reality show, the best entertainer or rock star.  

This is a serious job and we need someone who is qualified and proven to be able to deliver for the country.  Trump did that during his 4-year presidency.  During her 3 ½ years as VP, “working closely with” and supporting Biden’s policies, Harris has shown us that she will not deliver for the people of America.

Please vote for Donald Trump/J.D. Vance and in so doing, for America.
