The US needs wartime leaders. Will you kneel or stand up and fight? Sean Parnell a decorated combat veteran has an urgent message.
More on Parnell...
I've never had much faith in the military, largely because I've never had much faith in U.S. foreign policy. But here we find ourselves: looking to Republican military men like Parnell to stem the tide of authoritarianism on our soil.
These are indeed interesting times.
Parnell points out that "the Democratic party is no longer the party of the American middle class, or the American working class, no longer the party of unions... The Democratic party now, on every level, every candidate on stage embraces wholesale socialism. And Conor Lamb [Parnell's incumbent Democratic opponent in his upcoming race for Congress] is a part of that whether he likes it or not." Parnell also pointed out that although Lamb claims to be a moderate, he has always voted with Nancy Pelosi. That may be so (I'd need more information on that), however, according to Wikipedia, he voted against her as Speaker of the House.
Also from Wikipedia:
"In May 2020, President Trump endorsed Lamb's 2020 election opponent while falsely claiming that Lamb had voted for Pelosi as Speaker."
"On December 18, 2019, Lamb voted for both articles of impeachment against President Trump."

Lamb seems to be quite a rival given he's ex-military, and his record as a prosecutor is not without merit.

According to Wiki, in 2017, in Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District, Lamb unseated Republican State Representative, Rick Saccone, whom Trump vigorously supported. Rick Saccone, by the way, has an "interesting" background:
"He served as a United States Air Force officer, working in the Office of Special Investigation, counter intelligence. After resigning from the Air Force, Saccone was a civilian employee of the U.S. Army during the Iraq War, working in Iraq from 2004-05.
While in Iraq, Saccone worked as an interrogation consultant at Abu Ghraib prison."

So, as usual, politics is a messy business.
As to Lamb's claim to be a moderate (if that's even possible on the left now, as Parnell points out), while he supports the continuation of Obamacare (an increasingly expensive operation put in place for the sole benefit of insurance providers), he did oppose "the
Republican 2017 tax reform bill, which Lamb described as a 'giveaway' to large corporations and a 'betrayal' of middle-class Americans." [Wiki]
Actually, If you take a look at Trump's famous tax reduction bill [highlighted above], you'll see that the benefits that middle-to-lower income Americans initially see in the bill evaporate by 2027:
"The Tax Policy Center (TPC) estimated that the bottom 80% of taxpayers (income under $149,400) would receive 35% of the benefit in 2018, 34% in 2025 and none of the benefit in 2027, with some groups incurring costs. TPC also estimated 72% of taxpayers would be adversely impacted in 2019 and beyond, if the tax cuts are paid for by spending cuts separate from the legislation, as most spending cuts would impact lower- to middle-income taxpayers and outweigh the benefits from the tax cuts."
All of which is to point out that, as usual with politics, nothing is as it seems. And while, as Parnell points out, "the Democratic party is no longer the party of the American middle class, or the American working class, no longer the party of unions..." may be true, voting Republican doesn't square things on that count either. It's simply that the agenda of the radical left is so extremely, seditiously corrupt that voting Republican is looking like the only way to stem the tide of complete authoritarianism. However, as per above, there is a price tag for middle-to-lower income Americans in making that choice, even if Trump's base is loath to admit that. For their loyalty, he should be petitioned accordingly.
(Perhaps Tucker Carlson should be put on the case. He seems to have Trump's ear.)
