For Shame, Evan Knappenberger
This letter is in response to Evan Knappenberger's "GOD won't miss" July 16, 2024. I have read hateful words you have spewed on this forum in the past and no doubt will spew in the future. I am so grateful that President Trumps life was spared and thank GOD for that. GOD is the reason he was not killed, the reason we will have another chance to put him back in the White House, the reason, against all powers, he is still with us.

A severe lack of morality and integrity, a lack of equality of justice for everyone, a lack accepting responsibility for one’s own pronouncements and/or actions, blaming others for the problem of the times, AND failing to give proper time and effort to correct discrepancies.” and on and on: “shameful disrespect for those who have made sacrifices for our freedom!!!” and still more.
