The failings of one extreme US political party bring on the next extreme US political party.
Biden
Old age impacts his abilities.
Biden leaves the borders open.
Biden collects big cash to maintain a giant US Dept. of Homeland Security.
Cartel drugs are present in Seattle.
Trump
Old age impacts his abilities.
Trump collects big cash to maintain the US Dept. of Homeland Security. This giant federal agency now has more than two decades of experience and lessons learned in working to prevent cartel product from entering the US. More overdose deaths now, or before DHS?
ICE agents gun down people at traffic stops and on the street inside the US. This takes place away from border crossings and ports of entry.
Trump seals the borders except for cartel drugs.
Trump blows up suspected drug boats in distant waters.
Cartel drugs still arrive in Seattle and US troops are in Iraq.

Newspeople avoid asking:
If the CIA (est 1947) serves as an advantage to the US, why does the Department of Defense have such a poor record of winning undeclared wars going back to 1949, the year DOD was established?
These questions do not need to be asked on Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Blue Angels day or Armed Forces Day. Sometime during the year, please ask these questions.
Democracy Nonsense
If we live in a democracy (many people say so), when do we vote on decades of undeclared/unwon DOD wars?
US Dept. of Defense
DOD was established after WWII in the late 1940s. DOD has a poor track record with undeclared/unwon wars.
Look for newspeople and school teachers to ask zero questions in these areas.
Don’t lie to people and maybe they would be more patriotic.
