At his recent press conference, “Babbling” Joe Biden asked what Republicans stand for. That’s easy. Here are a few — not presented in order of importance.
- A closed border to create controlled immigration and stop the flow of drugs.
- Fire Dr. Fauci and endorse freedom of choice for vaccines and masking.
- Protect the unborn and defund Planned Parenthood.
- Respect the Constitution and Bill of Rights and protect the 1st and 2nd amendments.
- Fair and honest elections without federal interference.
- Reopen the Keystone pipeline and return to energy independence.
- Prosecute and incarcerate criminals.
- Declare Antifa and Black Lives Matter as terrorist groups.
- Balance the budget.
- Stay out of the Paris Climate Accord.
- Term limits for all political offices.
- Fund cyber and power grid security.
- Allow student vouchers to give parental choice of schools.
- Teach true American history and ban teaching "critical race theory“ and “The 1619 Project.”
- There are two genders — male and female. They should participate only in their own sports.
- Respect all religions but remember that the United States was founded on Judeo/Christian principles.
