The Election 11/05/24

I cannot remember when a presidential election has been as consequential as quickly as this one has. While EVERY presidential election is consequential, including the re-election of a president, some are much more so, having both an immediate and lasting impact upon not just politics but also the world.

Even Grover Cleveland (D), who won in 1884 over James Blaine (R) then lost to Benjamin Harrison (R) in 1888, then ran against and beat the same Benjamin Harrison (R) in 1892, had 2 non-consecutive terms with rather consequential events or outcomes. For one thing, he was the first Democrat to be elected President following the Civil War. I mention all this because we all know how it often can take a while for a president to get things done, even longer for his actions to result in specific consequences elsewhere in the country, let alone the world.

Well, the election was less than two weeks ago; however, within the first 5 days after the election, the following significant events have occurred:

. First female Chief of Staff in US History appointed

. NYC to stop giving debit cards to illegals

. Several major US companies bring production home

. The 3 major stock markets hit all-time highs

. Bitcoin hitting all-time highs

. Newest migrant caravan breaking-up

. Qatar agrees to evict Hamas leaders

. Hamas wants "immediate" end to war

. Taliban claims to want "new chapter"

. China wants "peaceful coexistence"

. Russia is "ready" to speak with the US

. EU announces they will be buying US gas, not Russian gas

. Ukraine leaders in talks with Trump/Elon

Trans Gender / Mental Health

Having served on the Proviso Township Mental Health Commission for 10 years, Eric knows that our young people are in need of mental health programs, not sex changes, to help deal with pressure of certain groups pushing the Trans Gender Agenda and confusing our children. Biological men and women do not belong in each other's washrooms or locker rooms. Read More

Crime

Eric believes *it is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his or her actions. We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. * Read More

Constitutional Government

America's founding document, with its wonderful phrase We the People and its checks & balances on each branch of government, is a magnificent accomplishment. If only the United States adhered to it.

Human Rights

Eric believes in equal rights for all and special rights for none. No one should be discriminated because of the color of their skin or their nationality, sex or creed. Read More

Poverty and Government Programs

Eric see's the U.S. Welfare System is ineffective at reducing poverty by its very design. Individual programs were created over a 70-year period with little coordination and no master plan. The combined benefits of the system discourage both work and marriage, which exacerbates poverty. The complex system is centered on in-kind benefits as opposed to cash and misses many of those most in need. For example, the system ignores the plight of the mentally ill, and can enable the use of alcohol or drugs. Read More

Reproductive Rights

Eric is Pro-Life and believes all parties need to find common ground on reproductive rights among all. Having an abortion at 9 months is just wrong. *Have you ever noticed that everyone who is for abortion is already born*. Read More

Religion

*Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems the world may face and if we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under. *

“I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.”
