Democrats plotting the fall of the US
To the Editor:
As most have heard all great nations fall from within, and I believe the Democrats are playing the long game to do just that. In my opinion, they are raising an army of our youth to bring down our nation. Did you, as I, wonder how “dorm storming” looking for jews on campuses across the USA started or who started pro-HAMAS/Palestinian anti-jew demonstrations on campus or why high school children and others were allowed to leave the classroom on a school day to demonstrate against ICE, the Trump administration?
Fox News Feb. 10, 2026 – “A newly unearthed training guidebook from the far-left activist group Sunrise Movement calls for both college and K-12 students to engage in monthly disruptions and mass non-cooperation as a part of a coordinated effort to spark a “political revolution” across the United States.” Really!
This 25-page guidebook states “we’re not going to get there overnight … we’re here to win a political revolution … this is your guide to start winning at your school right now” as the students in Minnesota and across the country demonstrated as they attacked ICE. They call ICE an occupying army, Trump’s personal Gestapo, spreading the left’s hate. In addition, the teacher’s union president calls Trump a ‘dictator’ on a call with this Antifa-linked group.
The manual instructs students to do ‘dorm storming’, to leave the classroom to demonstrate against the establishment, and build bigger disruptions. It also instructs how to recruit from the classroom, sports teams, campus clubs, etc. and to use trigger moments to spark massive outrage.
Bottom line: their vision is a political party of workers and students, a federal job guarantee, and the implementation of the Green New Deal. The George Soros foundation donated $2M to this group, closely connected to the Antifa terrorist group. Supporting organizations include Higher Education Labor United, the American Association of University Professors, Jewish Voice for Peace and Socialist Alternative.
In my opinion, this is the Democrats warping the minds of and using our children. A youth group attacking businesses, corporations, the government, ICE, etc. A youth/worker political revolution, in my opinion, like USSR and Germany in the 1930s. What else?
I believe the midterms are critical.

Why I registered as an independent voter
To the Editor:
Here it is, May 19, and I can’t vote. It doesn’t matter that I’m a veteran, paid my taxes, state, local, and federal like clockwork, never late. I was a registered Republican for most of my life. But after Jan. 6, I was really too ashamed to say what party I belong to. And I didn’t want to register to be a Democrat either. So, I registered Independent. The reason why was that the elected officials (both parties) sat back and really did nothing. The people we elected to HONOR and LIVE by the Constitution are just turning a blind eye to this. All they want is to get reelected and waste more of our tax dollars. I wonder what it really means anymore to say you’re a proud American!
