Quit whining! Vice President Kamala Harris lost and former President Donald Trump won. We have a new president, leader of the free world and commander in chief of our armed forces. You may not like it, but those are the facts, and the people have spoken.

Learn to accept it, stop complaining, and try to see what you can do to help. One might start by supporting our new elected leader. Now that’s the patriotic and American way, and it’s worked for almost 250 years.
