Dear Editor:
2024 appears to have all the earmarks of a unique and historical year. In fact, 2024 may well prove to be the “make or break” year for America as we’ve known her.
On one hand, 2024 holds tremendous potential. It could be the year America bottoms out, sees it cannot remain on its present course, and drastically reconstitutes itself. For that to happen, America must see that the Marxist left has overplayed its hand and revealed itself on everything from the open border, to the transgender attack on children, to the weaponization of our justice system – and then cast it off.
On the other hand, 2024 may prove us too far gone to save. Perhaps we’ll find that too many have already surrendered their own potential for individual achievement and their devotion to anything Higher than themselves.
Perhaps we’ll confirm too many are irreversibly tethered to a benevolent government; one faithfully promising to provide a “livable” quality of life by sharing what scraps it sees fit.
Maybe we’ll find we are just too soft and too filled with the self-hatred we’ve been fed by our corrupt education system.
Or perhaps we’ll find it’s even simpler than that: enough of us have been conditioned to hate the “orange man” so badly, we burn it all down – just to burn him with it.
Either way, we hold our fate in our own hands. Decide what you want in 2024 because you may not get another chance.

You hit the nail on the head, Michael Pflum. Oh, the Orange Man is Silver man now.
