TO THE EDITOR:
I am thankful to the Editor of the Patriot Newspaper, Bill Morgan, for putting a huge picture of Donald Trump on the front page of last week’s paper, along with an article about the vote. Donald Trump sure deserved that! There are not many people in the USA who could have gone through all that he (Trump) has and come out on top. He will close our southern border to illegal immigrants. There are too many illegals who have come across who are murderers and rapists. He will also get our economy back on track and strengthen our Armed Forces. He will reduce the number of abortions and try and keep transgender men out of women’s bathrooms. Trump said the next four years will be golden years. I know he means well, but I don’t think it will be quite that. The Bible tells us the Golden Age will be the thousand-year millennium that is coming to this earth in the future.

If you are wondering why America voted for Trump, people are sick of the corruption and lies. Trump supporters were called racist, Nazis, deplorable, garbage, belittled & discriminated against. The far left agenda was shoved down our throat through the corrupted media, social media, tech, Hollywood, entertainment, sports, pharma, health and everywhere we turned. Trump’s first term was obstructed and ruined with Russia, Russia, he was going to start WW3, he was worse than Hitler, which was all a lie. We were told Ukraine was a beacon of democracy, they needed our tax dollars, turns out they are one of the most corrupt nation in the world, literal Nazi military and laundering our tax dollars. Billions of dollars spent to protect their border and not ours! The Epstein, Diddy human-trafficking and crimes against children is being covered up and slow walked. Fema leaders telling workers not to help people after the hurricane if they had Trump signs on their property, WHAT? If you mention any of this you are a conspiracy theorist. So, the American people are awake to the scams and evil lies. This is the reality and we all need to stand together to bring America back to her greatness!

The Sherburne County election canvass is a joke. To “canvass”, is per Merriam-Webster Dictionary, to “Examine in detail”, specifically to “examine (votes) officially for authenticity”. I attended the 11/12/24 Sherburne County canvass of the general election and none of that took place. While MN Statute 204C.32 states that, “. . .the canvassing board shall publicly canvass the election returns delivered to the county auditor”, directions provided by the County Auditor were that we the public in the room could not ask questions of the board during the canvass. The County Auditor then distributed approx. (15) thin stacks of paper to the board which they all passed around and signed. I did not see one calculator, nor did I see any of the members compare the information provided them against the voting results tapes that were present. The actual ballots were not even present. No questions regarding the accuracy of the count, validity of the early/absentee ballots received were asked. The only question was regarding when the recount was scheduled in the District 14B House race between Wolgamott/Ek, unknown at this time. Eighteen minutes later, the elections had been certified, without one check or question being asked. This was a joke.

I found many things to ponder following the Trump landslide victory, Here are a few Hollywood elites from Oprah to George Clooney, from The View to late night TV are now dead and irrelevant. The Obamas, the Clintons, Pelosi et el, influence is dead and buried. Czar Waltz has been Governor for six years and it only took six weeks for America and the National media to expose him as a complete fraud and incompetent. While Minnesota news organizations failed miserably on investigations of any sort in six years. The world is getting closer to a world war....a middle class upbringing and green lawn is not the experience we could afford. Seriously, does anybody think Harris could handle anything more than scheduling a WOKE party. And it will be nice to no longer see Tim Waltz coming on stage as if he was have an epileptic event. And in the next four years, Mrs. Waltz will sit alone, sadly looking out her open window breathing fresh air and not the smoke of a burning Minneapolis. Poor thing, keep her in your prayers.
