very good commentary, with valid reasoning and thoughtful remarks.
And bravo for you for doing your research and being truly interested in what's going on.
I am so frustrated with the news, like you, I sometimes turn it off because I get so upset. The lies and deliberate misquotes have put many new gray hairs on my head.
I am truly afraid for this country, the way it's headed.
Anyway, I enjoyed reading your submission and congratulations on winning first place.

Thank you so much, Katharine. I really appreciate your comments and that extra bling.
I can no longer watch the news, it interferes with my sleep. At my age, there isn't much I can do about any of it but sit back and watch our country crumble. The lawlessness is more than disturbing, it's downright treasonous to allow it. You really don't want to get me started. LOL

I'm with you 100%!!! I've written some things I plan to put on FS, hoping to wake some people up before it's too late. Probably will only get me blasted. There are some dyed in the wool big time liberals on this site.
Comment from Sally Law
Congratulations on your well deserved win, Jean. I feel very much like you do. I'm a Republican and a pro-life conservative. I also believe in a strong border and that we should be taking care of our citizens first before the rest of the world. We do that with our families. What would we think of a parent that would spend their money on someone else's children and not care for their own? Not feed and protect them. It's ludicrous at best. I'm not voting for Trump and I'm sure not voting for Biden. Nikki Haley will be getting my vote. I think she'll make a fine president.
Sending you my best today as always.

Thank you for your heartfelt review of Are We Just Wired Differently. I really appreciate how you feel. If Nikki turns out to be the candidate, I will vote for her but I think it's going to be Trump so he will get my vote. Biden has been a disaster from day one when he overturned everything good that Trump did. What a mess we're in.
Comment from Caroline M England
This is excellently expressed and I wish more people would take heed of what you say both in the US and UK. My daughter is very interested in politics (age 19) and is horrified by the lack of knowledge of many in her generation who vote like their parents do. When someone takes time to inform themself and then votes unlike oneself, it is hard to discount them - and it makes us all much more rational beings. In this case you and I are wired differently, but I respect your view, the way you have expressed it , your right to that view and the way you reached your conclusion. Bravo!
With very best wishes

Thank you for your very "thoughtful" review. I feel voting is a very personal thing, and I respect everyone's right to vote. I just wish people would learn to open their minds to all sides of an issue, they might learn something. Just to vote blindly is not good. As they say, "voting has consequences."

Ciao mystery poet you now have 7 votes.
I like your thought process .
Finally someone that makes sense .. you are leading with another entry which I read and which left me wondering if the author lived the last three years on another planet.
Your second last paragraph speaks of the bleak reality America and us here in Europe are living.
Biden's administration was been a string of failures , Afghanistan's retreat, the provoked war in Ukraine and now this second war which is going to be the death of the western world if Netanyahu is not stopped.
Anyone can see Biden 's mental health has declined and he is not fit to run America.
Jew Zionists have the US senate on a leach
and George Soros' open society creed has opened your borders,it has financed illegals to get them to and across your border.
Most have been sent to California, Arizona , and New York .. the Mayor of NY has said he will not be running for a second term cause he has no idea how to deal with the insane illegal influx.
I was reading last week the governor in Massachusetts had been using school gyms to house temporarily the illegals , he now has asked parents to keep their kids home to study via internet so the state can use the classrooms as lodgings for the migrants.
And don't get me talking about all this transgender madness that is destroying an entire generation and which your leaders are supporting, they are out to destroy the foundation of our society : the family
Sorry for the rant.

So, you agree, one must be wired differently not to see what?s happening. Makes you wonder if they are not paying attention or just don?t care.

As far as I?m concerned we are using our brains ..
the war in Ukraine was lost already in September last year when both the Spring-and summer counterattacks failed.
Yet Biden more than once has tried to send billion still to Zelensky.. thank god the senate at the end of September finally said NO and continues to say NO.
The fighting will continue until Zelensky stops lying and finds the balls to admit the defeat and sits down to hear Russia?s demands.
Soldiers are still dying because Zelensky doesn?t want to face Putin.
EU leaders here instead are still sending money and arms to Ukraine and next month NATO has planned a huge drill of 90.000 troops .
This is madness.

I love your no-nonsense, cogent way of expressing "just the facts" here but also offering up your preferences. You're very specific in why you think the way you do.
This is such a tinderbox prompt, isn't it? OY!! But you stated your case well, I thought. Good luck at the polls. (The FS ones first, then the Big Ones!) zo

Thank you for reading and your kind words. Yes, it was scary.
Comment from lyenochka
I'm glad that you grew up with parents who were vocal about their opinions and could share it. It's great that it didn't turn you off from studying politics to make the best decisions. I'm an Independent, too, and would really like another party as it seems the R & D seem only bent on opposing the other and not on getting anything done!
Hope you will promote your works so that more people will review.

Thank you for your nice review. I think I had to delve in to understand why my parents were always arguing over it.
Comment from Navada
I wish more Americans voted as thoughtfully as you. It concerns me that the level of debate in your country at the moment seems to be so polarised and focused on identities rather than problem solving and issues. Thanks for sharing this.

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
If you're concerned about wars how about bloodshed in schools because the GOP owes the NRA. I am so worried about our country right now and our freedoms. The GOP has had the House for two years and they just fight each other and dangle our finances on a thread nnot balancing our budget. Whoever we are we are in big trouble and your post at least invites us all to discuss things. That's huge. I will vote Democrat down the line btw and thank God we all still have our freedom to vote. Best wishes!
