Commentary: Will America Stay Awake With Trump, or Go Back to Sleep With Biden?

Georgia Star News Staff

Is it possible that Americans have become so servile, so convinced of our worthlessness, that we would hand over our country again to a ruling class that has neither the desire nor the ability to preserve it?

This is the critical question that hangs in the balance today. Either America will sleepwalk into an oblivion of decline with Joe Biden, an empty suit beholden to America’s enemies both at home and abroad, or we will reject his soothing platitudes, recognize his campaign for the swindle that it is, and stay alert and alive with Donald Trump.

Commentary: The Secret Ballot Is Trump’s Secret Weapon

Georgia Star News Staff

Americans take for granted that, when we step into the voting booth and cast our ballots, the choices we make will remain secret unless we voluntarily reveal them. Moreover, regardless of ideological bent, very few voters would approve of any attempt to lift that veil of privacy from the process. Yet the secret ballot was essentially unheard of in the United States until the mid-19th century, and it wasn’t adopted throughout the country until the 1890s. Before then, elections were conducted by voice or by color-coded tickets. The “shy Trump voter” could never survive in such an electoral environment. Thus, it’s unlikely that Trump could have been elected in 2016.

Commentary: Want to Keep our Sweet Land of Liberty? Reject the Marxists

Georgia Star News Staff

Today is the day we will find out whether or not our country will remain the exceptional country it is.  This is the land of liberty and opportunity, where the precious words written in our Declaration of Independence, as safeguarded under our Constitution, protect people of all faiths, skin colors and ethnicities. We must not abandon our identity and succumb to Marxism, which devours and destroys every single country it invades. 

Make no mistake about it, tomorrow’s election is between preserving our liberties and our freedoms or bowing to Marxists, that is to the Democrat Party.  It is that simple.

Analysis: Social Ills That Plague African Americans Coincide with Leftism, Not Racism

Georgia Star News Staff

Many people blame racism for the grave problems that afflict a greater portion of black people than whites, including substandard educational outcomes, poverty, violence, incarceration, and poor health. However, comprehensive facts reveal no association between racism and these afflictions—much less evidence of causation. In fact, many of these problems grew worse with declining racism and rising levels of political and social power held by minorities.

In contrast, there are very strong associations between these scourges and leftist public policies and mindsets. Because association does not prove causation, these connections cannot prove that leftism caused these outcomes, but they open the door to this possibility. Other facts reinforce this prospect because minorities who are distanced from leftist environments and ideals don’t suffer like those who are surrounded by them.
