That scary 3 a.m. phone call

July 08, 2024 6:02 am • Last Updated: July 07, 2024 7:53 pm

During the 2016 election campaign for President of the United States, the unsuccessful Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, attempted to convince the American public that she was the stronger choice and able to respond to the defense of America, even if that threat came in a surprise 3 a.m. phone call. God help us if that call comes 3 a.m. today! Even 3 p.m. will be a major problem.

This country needs a 24/7 leader, not one who is only partially engaged between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make the right choice in November; it isn’t rocket science!
