GOP reality check in November
In response to Sam Barlotta’s April 2 attack on the Democratic Party as a whole (“A Democratic Party reality check”), I would hope that the intelligent reader would do some fact-checking on the absurd claims he made.
These claims seem to be based on his mind-reading abilities when he begins several of his statements with “they believe.”
I can state that America is a nation of immigrants beginning about 300 years ago. Case in point is the fact that the name “Barlotta” is probably not of Native American heritage.
As to whether “they” believe in abortion is irrelevant — it is the law of the land. It sounds to me that Barlotta is the one defying the rule of law he claims to cherish.
When Barlotta says “they” want to ban more weapons after a mass tragedy, he is probably right, but, he conveniently fails to include a consideration of the thousands of students nationwide (the #NeverAgain movement) who have no political affiliation and simply want to feel safe in schools.
What is most baffling to me is the claim of criminality in the FBI, when it is a certainty that it was the FBI (in the form of former Director James Comey’s letter) that gave Donald Trump the presidency.
So we shall see in the midterms a true and accurate Democratic Party reality check when “they” take back the House and possibly the Senate.

Women and Donald Trump
I do not believe any woman endorses Donald Trump. Women do not support an admitted rapist and groper, who clearly scorns every member of the female gender.
I believe, this is the anti-Christ about whom we were warned.
Let women, like their beloved students, unite and declare we too have had enough.
