Editor, Gazette-Journal:

As I write this, our new president has been in office just over a month. During this period, he has issued many Executive Orders, including halting the Keystone pipeline, putting a hold on fracking on federal lands, stopping the construction of the border wall, canceling many of Trump’s immigration policies, and promoting “Green Energy” policies, to name a few of the big ones.

The results of these actions so far are the loss of thousands of American jobs on the pipeline, gasoline is up about $.50 a gallon (approximately 24 percent), there is now a wall around the Capitol in D.C. and thousands of illegal immigrants are trying to cross our border, including many minors who will be put in camps. In addition, the recent freeze in Texas showed us how unreliable “green energy” can be.

Where is the mainstream media reporting and condemning the negative results of these actions like they would be doing for the Trump administration? Biden promised no tax increase on the middle class. It may not be a tax, but $.50 a gallon increase on gas hits the poor and middle class pretty hard, just like a tax.

Even if the pipeline workers could transition to the solar industry, it would most likely mean they would have to uproot their families and move to other parts of the country. Finally, if a wall is needed around the Capitol to protect the select few, then a wall is certainly justified to keep illegals and criminals out of our country on our southern border.

While we have many problems in this country, the biggest problem may be the bias and loss of honesty by the mainstream media. It is truly a double standard being used by the mainstream media and it is destroying America. All we want is fair and balanced reporting.
