Let’s end Halloween by Nov. 6.

This may be the most frightening Halloween of all time. People across America are scared stiff as we are bombarded 24 hours a day with terrifying scenes splashed across television, our telephones and tablets. We can’t get away from the howls, screeches, growls, ghastly facial expressions and horned-headed characters spewing menacing rhetoric. All of this has been brought to us by our Democratic and Republican parties.

The scariest part of Halloween has been the last five days of political campaigning and political advertisements. Should several of the states have to recount, we could be in for the longest Halloween in American history.

We are already scared to death.

Democrats hate Trump and are terrified he might win. There is no limit on what is being said about him. Any woman who will come forth with a damaging comment about Trump will have the national spotlight. Anyone who can come up with a scenario that would make Trump the illegitimate son or grandson of Hitler will receive airtime on national television.

Of course, Republicans enjoy playing Kamala’s bloopers, giggles and nonsensical answers time and again.

By the way, whatever happened to the Obama slogan, “Whenever they go low, we go high?”

Just hope—and I mean hope and pray—that the winner of this election has won decisively so that we know for certain who has been elected President of the United States.

Most everyone knows I’ve already voted for Trump.

This doesn’t make me hate you if you vote for Kamala Harris. I just think you are making a bad decision. There are probably other people who write for this very good news source who have differing opinions. What makes a newspaper or news blog good is the ability to print both sides of a viewpoint. Most of us long for the old days when television anchors presented the news and all sides of the story.

Trump is strong on border security. It’s a no-brainer that our country is in trouble with so many millions illegally entering the country. We are losing our country. We are becoming a third-world country right before our eyes.

Our military and Veterans were treated well under Trump. We need a strong military. We had achieved worldwide peace under Trump.

What is going on between Ukraine and Russia and now North Korea is draining our country financially? The billions of dollars never seem to stop flowing out to Ukraine.

The Middle East is now a powder keg that could ignite World War III.

I can’t see Kamala Harris commanding respect from any of the other world leaders in discussions to solve the conflicts. What would she do? Call Oprah, Taylor Swift or Beyonce?

Trump has promised he will do away with seniors paying taxes on their Social Security benefits. This would save 70 million seniors in this country. Trump’s policy on energy will be a boom to the United States. America drills oil and gas and burns both cleaner than any other nation. China, India and Russia are going to continue with oil and gas. We can do it much cleaner than them and financially save our country. We should also use our own wind, oil, gas and coal. A balanced approach will help our nation as well as our entire planet.

With Kamala we will get four more years of what we’ve had, maybe. She won’t be as good as Joe Biden. I believe she will be much, much worse. Will she be able to take the abortion issue away from the states? It is doubtful. For years, Congress wanted to put this in the hands of the states and it is unlikely it will ever be taken away.

On Wednesday, Nov. 6, we are still Americans. We need to act like it regardless of the election outcome. We must work for the good of this country and always work to help each other be the best Americans we can be.

On Nov. 6, let’s end Halloween and begin our season of Thanksgiving.
