Letter to the Editor: The facts prove Biden has been disastrous for our country

Reader Inez Petersen responds to two other letters concerning Christians and the president.

If your precinct begins with ENM, you could be among the 884 persons who voted for Biden in the Presidential Primary. You could also be among those being misled by the likes of NPR, CNN, and MSNBC.

For example, Stanley McKie (“Evangelicals are poisoning the Word and democracy,” published April 4) stated, “I am not generalizing” that evangelicals have no interest in decency, deny religious liberties to others, and are racist. No facts and data for him.

Likewise, John Locatelli (“Conservative Christians are “in name only,’” published April 4) believes conservative Christians are false, ignorant prophets and that Biden has given America a strong economic recovery. No facts and data for him either.

Among these ridiculous opinions, I am left to question whether Biden’s economy is really “strong.” The government’s own statistics are self condemning.

Mainstream media viewers, however, would never know this because mainstream media don’t issue corrections to their anti-Trump erroneous original reports.

For example, BLS publishes a jobs report every month. Facts and data for 2023-24 are here: https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesnaicsrev.htm

The government’s June 2023’s initial jobs report was off by 35%, and the January 2024 report was off by 50%.

With numbers significantly overstated every month, one would think news media would make corrections, especially before a presidential election. But phony job numbers continue to mislead voters like the 884 Enumclaw Biden supporters.

ABC News interviewed Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas on March 21, 2021. He reported: “The border is closed; the border is secure.” I suspect that 884 Enumclaw Biden supporters sighed in relief.

Snopes confirms that in January 2024, more than 7.2 million migrants illegally crossed into the United States over the Southwest border during Biden’s administration. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/million-migrants-border-biden/

The hordes of illegal immigrants, including single males of military age, marching across our border don’t give the 1,063 Trump supporters in ENM precincts peace of mind.

In Washington a person doesn’t have to prove citizenship to register to vote. The person merely signs a statement that reads: “I declare that … I am a citizen of the United States … “ https://www.sos.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2023-07/VRF_English.pdf

If every state were this lax, how many of the estimated 7.2 million illegal immigrants will vote in the next presidential election? This is critical when local election officials do nothing to ensure only legal citizens vote. See election security measures on https://kingcounty.gov/

I could provide more facts about the state of our economy, none of which indicates it’s strong. I refer to soaring gas, food, and housing prices; increasing evictions, foreclosures, and bankruptcies; retail store and restaurant closures; threat of a third world war; and $34.6 trillion national debt.

Due to a 500-word limit, I will have to stand on the facts and data I provided and plead with the 884 Enumclaw Biden supporters, including Locatelli and McKie, to join the 1,063 Enumclaw Trump supporters to help save our country and our Constitution from the disaster of another Biden win.
