State of America Makes Midterm Choices Clear.
Adriana Cohen
During a debate with Jimmy Carter in 1980, Ronald Reagan famously
asked, "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?" Which
is a sensible and basic question that's been asked in political races
ever since — and next week's midterm elections are no different.
As Americans head to the polls on Tuesday, one ought to consider
if you, your family or your business is better off today under Demo-
crat control of one's state and one-party rule in Washington, or not.
Unless you like paying significantly higher prices for essential items
like food, gas, rent, heating bills and just about everything else,
I suspect the answer is no.
When Joe Biden took office in January 2021, the average national
gas prices were $2.33 per gallon, according to the Energy Information
Association. As of today, Nov. 2, the national average is $3.765, per
AAA. And no one will forget that gas prices surged to an astronomical
$5.02 per gallon last June, or even worse if you were in Nantucket,
Massachusetts, where Biden will be spending Thanksgiving again this
year, gas prices surged over $6.08 per gallon. I experienced that
firsthand, as I was there last summer, cringing every time I filled
my tank.
Soaring gas prices shouldn't have come as a surprise, as Biden
campaigned in 2020 promising "we are going to get rid of fossil
fuels." Voters now need to ask how the president's kowtowing to spe-
cial interest groups, campaign donors and climate fanatics — many
who live in big houses, own gas-guzzling yachts and fly private
jets — affect your family's budget.
Same with sky-high inflation, which was 1.4% when Sleepy Joe took
office in January 2021. Today, inflation is a whopping 8.3% — a
40-year high — with elevated food prices hurting working families.
"Grocery prices are up 13.5% compared with a year earlier, the big-
gest 12-month jump since March 1979," reports The Wall Street Jour-
nal. "With no relief in sight, many consumers say they are strug-
gling to keep up."
And for those who want a more left-leaning perspective, CNN re-
ported in September, "Americans browsing the supermarket aisle will
notice most food items are far more expensive than they were a year
ago. Egg prices soared 39.8%, while flour got 23.3% more expensive.
Milk rose 17% and the price of bread jumped 16.2%."
These are basic necessities Americans need to survive. But sad-
ly, under one-party Democrat rule in Washington over the past nearly
two years, millions of Americans are being forced to choose between
filling their gas tank to get to work, paying their rent or feeding
their families — not a choice anyone should have to make living in
the richest country in the world.
Nor should parents have to scramble to find baby formula in Amer-
ica due to the Biden administration's embarrassing failure to re-
solve manufacturing and supply chain snafus that continue to threat-
en the health and well-being of our nation's precious infants.
When it comes to public safety, crime is soaring nationwide. Many
living in major cities like New York are rightfully afraid the ride
the subway, walk the street at night or even wear nice clothes to
work without worrying about being assaulted. New York's Democrat Gov.
Kathy Hochul's willful blindness that there's a palpable crime pro-
blem in her state, as well as other soft-on-crime liberal officials
nationwide who support cashless bail for violent criminals, make us
less safe, diminishing our quality of life.
And with Democrats' failed immigration policies and open borders
controlled by dangerous drug cartels, fentanyl and other deadly
drugs are pouring into our communities killing scores of Americans.
Over 107,000 Americans died of drug overdoses in 2021, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention reported last spring.
At that rate, a vote for a Democrat means a vote for the status
quo. That translates to thousands more Americans dying of drug over-
doses each year — the number one killer of 18 to 45-year-olds in
America today. If all that's acceptable to you, vote Democrat next
week. However, if you believe that America's not on the right track
and that we're certainly not better off than we were two years ago,
vote for Republican candidates across the board.
The choice is clear.

Tomorrow we vote. Are we going to survive this disaster of the
last nearly 2 years or are we too blind to use this opportunity to
save America.
Biden said at a gathering (too small to be a rally) that there
would be NO MORE drilling in the country and he aims to shut down
the remainder of the coal fired electricity plants.
It has been proven that we cannot come close to supporting our
needs using wind and solar energy. The brownouts and rolling black-
outs are killing Americans in the heat and many places have been
told that people who depend upon diesel will not have fuel avail-
able to heat their homes this winter.
On top of that there will be no fuel for the trucking industry
or many parts of manufacturing.
It becomes more and more how incompetent the entire Biden ad-
ministration are and have been since its inception.
Please get everyone you know to get out and vote to end the
disaster created by the evil, amoral, unethical people in our
nation's capital.
Pray about it and do your part. God will prevail.
Conservatively,
