To the editor:

Eric Becht on Jan. 24 wrote a very great letter showing all the problems our nation is facing. Clearly he has heard these claims, but he is the one who denies them. We could go one by one to prove that what he claims to be lies, are in fact truths. But I only want to respond to some of the most pertinent, beginning with store shelves.

Many are empty, bare, or thinned out. Everyone has experienced supply chain shortages.

Second, immigrants (legal and illegal) are invading. One definition of invading is “enter a place, situation, or sphere of activity in large numbers, especially with intrusive effect.” This is undeniable. The U.S. admits, legally, between 1-2 million immigrants per year. Conservatively, estimates place about 11 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S. We see tens and hundreds of thousands of illegals form caravans and cross the border all the time. Quite literally an invasion.

Continuing on, many things are still on lockdown, especially in Europe, Canada and Australia. Many people across the world are being fired for not getting the vaccine (and may God be with those brave souls standing up). Corona often isn’t worse than the flu, and it’s important to note how many diseases (flu, colds, heart attacks, etc.) have suddenly disappeared and decreased. As for those getting handouts, I personally say, “Who cares? It is time for us to screw and abuse the system which abuses us.” But I know some Republicans will disagree.

As for political persecution, this, too, is undeniable. The President of the United States was banned from Twitter and other social media. The FBI infiltrates right wing groups seeking to “catch them” with something, as shown with the fake Michigan governor kidnapping plot during 2020.

Look at people like Nicholas Fuentes: suddenly put on the no fly list, banned from every social media platform, had $500,000 seized by the FBI, and so on.

There is a great cancellation of conservatives, true conservatives, from the conversation. We are in a great crisis on multiple levels.

As for our country being an embarrassment, this is true. But I take a different take than most “conservatives” today. Anything that shows the weakness of the “American regime” is a good thing for us on the right. It shows the weakness of our current state and gives way for us to step in and fix it.

I also want to point out the line, “Agree or you are the enemy.” Well, yes. This is the very essence of politics. A famous quote: “The specific political distinction to which political actions and motives can be reduced is that between friend and enemy.” The left plays this game, this war, very well. Unfortunately, us conservatives need to start playing it too.

Mr. Becht shows his joy for the unvaccinated dying, but never will he mention rising death rates across the world since vaccinations were rolled out. Never will he mention teenagers and 20-30 year olds getting myocarditis, seizures, strokes, heart attacks, etc. Check the VAERS data, and there are countless suppressed studies if you dig deep enough.

Let us beware of the left, who are trying to control you and indoctrinate you. One can go on and on, but what is clear is Mr. Becht’s letter simply just lists things which are reality. Most people should’ve read that and said, “Check. Check. Check.”

So, I actually thank Mr. Becht for listing all the problems of our country for all of our community to see.
