If you Want it – Buy it Now!
Did you ever think you would see the day when 83 ships were waiting off the coast of California and it would be 17 days for them to unload?
The Biden administration is no stranger to a crisis, and now they have added another–the supply chain crisis.

As we enter into the holiday season, our shelves are bare, the prices are up, and there is no hope for change in the foreseeable future. As the hustle and bustle of the holiday season starts, many of us are surprised to see the shelves in our stores like we have never seen them before.

I grew up in Panama and I remember waiting for the ship to arrive with the Christmas trees. As a young child it was really a big deal. When the ship arrived in Coco Solo, we all headed down to purchase our Christmas trees. Not only the excitement of picking out your tree with your family, but also all your friends and their families were there. When my Mom and Dad moved to Panama they brought most of their ornaments and lights with them so it felt as American as it could living in Panama. These fond memories always come flooding back as the holidays begin. This year they feel a bit clouded with concern for our future.

But I wonder if I am the only one feeling a bit fearful about what is going on in the country. The border crisis, the supply-chain crisis, the debt crisis, the homeless crisis, the COVID crisis, the inflation crisis. Everything seems to have gone from a problem to a crisis and we have lost hope that our leadership can fix the crises. With 38% approval of Biden and 28% approval of Harris, I suspect that there are others who are fearful too. So, I have decided if I see something for my family for the holidays and I can afford it, I am going to buy it. This holiday season may not be the same as we are watching the incompetence of this administration losing control of our country.

Call me an optimist. The Christmas tree ship came into Coco Solo every year. I know that we will get our country back in line with the 2022 election of Republicans across the country. The red wave will bring in a Republican President in 2024, and we will stop worrying about crises and winning again. I am so happy to be a Republican. We win; and, we fight until we win. Join me.

P.S. Remind me to tell you about the Christmas tree burning after New Years!
