Unfortunately, political advertisements take on a level of hatred that is totally uncalled for, absolutely ridiculous. One yard sign suggested Trump is a parasite. Let’s compare presidential candidates and we as voters can determine who might best deserve your endorsement. First ask yourself, why did Harris select Walz as her running mate?

We live in a time where our society is doing away with God. Ironically, we are not simply trying to push God aside, instead, we are attempting to “play God” by selling the idea of transgenderism, as though you can change your identity and it’s perfectly normal. After all, it’s your choice they say…it’s only affirming your desired gender.

Further proof of our governing society “playing God” is on full display when they now think taking the life of a child at any time, even up to the time of birth, is ok. There is nothing wrong with this thinking, they echo, it’s just a “health care” choice. Any amount of common sense at all and we know this thinking is absurd…in both cases, transgenderism and abortion.

Here is an example of what will happen if Harris/Walz are voted into the most powerful position in the world. The Democratic ticket is 100% on-board with the following scenario: A young girl, maybe with acne, maybe a little heavy-set, probably upset because her parents are getting divorced, maybe not fitting in with seemingly anybody, is going to be influenced by spending hours on some internet site where she will “learn” she is actually a boy. She hears you can solve the problem by having gender affirming procedures.

The young girl will go to her parents and say, “I want to be a boy. I need puberty blockers and sex-changing hormones.” She is too young and doesn’t yet understand this will sterilize her for the rest of her life. The parents will say no! She’ll counter with, “I also want top-surgery.” This is code for a double mastectomy. The parents will again say no!

The teenage girl learns she can go to a judge in the State of Minnesota and tell the judge what she wants. The judge will order the State to take custody of the girl and provide her with everything she asks for, with taxpayer money. The parents are not consulted at all and find out there is nothing they can do about it, as The State, signed into Law by Governor Tim Walz, can actually take custody of their under-age child. The girl will have her breasts removed, given the puberty blockers and sex-change hormones and parents are helpless to do anything.

This is an objective truth that is being played out in the State of Minnesota right now, today. What will happen if this mind set gets elected in November. Whether you call yourself a Democrat or Republican, can anyone, honestly, justify voting for a ticket that knowingly endorses such disastrous thinking? Forcefully taking custody of children sounds like the definition of a parasite, no?
