– Declares Slotkin (D) and Rogers (R) “The Deep-State Identical Twins”; says both promise catastrophic spending, inflation, and endless wars that lead to enemies abroad, terrorism, and nonstop spying on Americans –
MARSHALL, MI – August 19, 2024 – Joseph Solis-Mullen, lifetime Michigan resident, announced his campaign for U.S. Senate as a Libertarian. When asked why he’s running, he said, “With Justin Amash out of the running, I’m the only alternative to the Republican and Democratic permanent-regime candidates. Their views are nearly identical and deliver the same results, year after year. They are so alike that only the term ‘Uniparty’ captures their tag-team betrayal of America. It explains why things never get better.” Mr. Solis-Mullen detailed the eerie similarities of Slotkin and Rogers:
- Foreign Policy. Every foreign threat we now face was caused by our government’s meddling overseas. It makes us less safe, less free, and much poorer. It also makes us the target of our own government, which concocts endless programs to “fix” the messes created by previous policies. We are lucky to be surrounded by two huge oceans with Canada and Mexico as neighbors. We would be just fine if we just stopped meddling abroad. Instead, our politicians engage in one war after another – often to enrich influential companies that donate to their campaigns or reward them with sinecures when they leave office. This has created dozens of enemies and led to blowback terrorism, endless spying by our own government, and financial bankruptcy.
- Manipulation, Spying & Secrecy. Censorship, travel delays, airport searches, and spying on mail, internet use, social media, and conversations are the natural result of the Uniparty’s foreign policy. “Would it be any worse,” asked Solis-Mullen, “if we were ruled by a foreign power? They treat citizens like the enemy. They demand to know every detail about our lives, but they hide their own actions behind the all-purpose excuse of ‘national-security.’ Secrecy and surveillance are the hallmarks of tyranny, and that’s what Slotkin and Rogers deliver.”
- Inflation, Spending & ‘Untouchable’ Entitlements. If you wonder why you’re short of cash, blame the Uniparty. Rising prices are the natural result of out-of-control spending – whether it’s on so-called “defense” spending, Medicare, or Social Security entitlements. Neither candidate will even consider any meaningful change in this unsustainable habit, and they’ve said so in public. To them, the job of the tax-cattle is to shut up and obey.
- Business & Government Monopolies. Whatever government touches becomes expensive. Each year, agencies churn out thousands of laws for businesses to obey, making products and services more costly. Most schools are government-run monopolies that yield dismal results. Even when governments claim to help, they raise costs, which student-loan guarantees do in higher education. The Uniparty candidates think this is normal.
Slotkin and Rogers are a tag-team of nonstop dysfunction. The only difference? Slotkin is the CIA version; Rogers is the FBI version. Both despise the Constitution and 4th Amendment protections against spying, searches, and seizure as they claim to “protect the homeland” from the enemies that their own policies created. Neither one understands the phenomenon of inflation, and both refuse to cut entitlements or any of the vast spending boondoggles that cause it.
