Trump or MoCo?
By Dennis Brent Melby
The political partisans have it down pat. Always run against the top person. They make millions in the US and other democracies selling programs on how to run for office and win. Being elected brings power, control and notoriety – and folks all over the world want that.
You’ll see here in MoCo that all the incumbent Democrats are running against President Trump. From Governor to Congress to County Exec and
Council as well as State government, they use Trump as the bad guy, and promise to oppose him at every opportunity. (Did it work in Virginia? You be the judge.) Yep, although Trump’s not on the ballot, Trump is on the ballot, put there by the Democrats.
But of course he's not really on the ballot. What we need is leadership in MoCo. Don’t be distracted. Tax and spend, choose far left over normal, make sure one-party rule with no divergence is almost mandatory – this is what the Socialist Democrats are promising you - more of the same. We have a better way.
How about some TRUE diversity? I’m proud to say we’ve got a great team running for MoCo leadership. The County Executive and County Council contests are chock-a-block full of super qualified leaders. We have fighters for prosperity, freedom and true democracy. Many are legal immigrants who became great American citizens, built lives and businesses and families and are ready to give back to this great county with public service. …and they’re NOT CAREER POLITICIANS! Others are business leaders, hard workers, some former government workers as many in MoCo are, ready to use their experience in this great spot next to DC. And some, like Reagan and Trump, are former Democrats. We welcome them all.

I'm Surrounded by Immigrants
Legal immigrants just make sure they do it according to Hoyle and don't raise tempers to a boil. In the end, after all is said and done, we're done for, anyway.

The Melby Minute - No Kings Hatred
HATRED, VIOLENCE, NO-KINGS
There are groups constantly trying to gin-up political violence in America. Yet again the Left is planning another anti-Trump, anti-Republican protest March 28, using the No Kings moniker.

There are allegations that the George Soros organization, funding from Communist China and other far left anti-American sources are major beneficiaries, which should give everyone pause.
Correct me if I’m wrong but Republicans, moderates and folks on the right didn’t hate President Biden…they were disappointed he was elected, they could not understand why the media and the Democratic Party didn’t see or acknowledge his disabilities until after an extraordinary public TV debate, but the didn’t want him harmed – they wanted him replaced by his cabinet or voted out the next election (which indeed happened overwhelmingly). To put it bluntly, we didn’t want him killed.
