There has been reference to the “Big Lie” leading to January 6, which refers to potential election fraud which has been neither proved or disproved to this day. But let’s talk more about big lies.

To say January 6 was an attempt to overthrow the U.S. government is a big lie. It was a protest that went awry, minuscule compared to the BLM riots which lasted nearly a year costing many lives and millions in damages.

To say January 6 was worse than 9-11 is a big lie.

To say January 6 was worse than Pearl Harbor is a big lie.

To say the Afghanistan withdrawal was a success is a big lie. The United States lost lives and millions of dollars in military equipment to terrorists.

To say our southern border is closed and secure is a big lie. Over half million got away to date not to mention the enormous drug consequence.

To say spending taxpayer dollars and printing more money will curb inflation is economically a big lie.

To say the United States can do well without any fossil fuels and purchase our energy (oil) elsewhere is a big lie.

This sounds exhausting. What do we do? There are two sides to every issue. Explore all the facts. Be your own independent thinker. Your thoughts and feelings matter. Most importantly – VOTE.
