Editors Point of View

Welcome to another excellent issue of Blue Magazine. As you can see on our cover, we fully endorse President Donald J. Trump for re-election, and have awarded him our most prestigious Man of the Year Award. Congratulations, Mr. President!

If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s who is worthy of our votes. Politicians live and die for votes. Ever consider why they typically reach out during election cycles and then disappear? Power. Full stop. It’s all about obtaining and retaining power. Sadly, for many politicians, power is like an addictive drug that causes them to do whatever it takes, including being silent while cities burn and violence surges if it will bring them to or keep them in power. They will perpetuate false narratives against law enforcement, scapegoating the men and women who serve and protect our communities to gain an unfair advantage at the ballot box. They tacitly approve of the cop-hating mobs, the supposed peaceful protesters who are torching everything in sight and bludgeoning anyone brave enough to speak out against them. We at Blue Magazine are amazed at the great lengths of appeasement politicians will go to. We deserve better from our elected leaders.

The choice is clear. The political parties are diametrically opposed when it comes to their stances on law enforcement. We have had enough of the violence — the slaughtering of cops, the broken bones and assaults simply because they wear a uniform. We are tired of seeing the endless stream of images of officers with blood spilling from their faces, from being struck with bricks, frozen water bottles and anything else these lunatics can get their hands on.

So remember, as a profession, law enforcement votes are very precious, and we should not cheapen our voting power to assuage any unworthy politician or political party. We must stand with those who stand with us. President Trump had our backs long before he was president and has proven irrespective of the tremendous pressure by the cop-hating opposition, including their co-conspirators in the corporate media, that he unwaveringly stands with the men and women on the frontlines. It’s refreshing nearly every time Trump is in front of a microphone; he messages the American people to stand with law enforcement. Trump is worthy of our support.

At Blue Magazine, we implore officers and their families in our great nation to cast their votes to re-elect our great law and order President Donald Trump. Again, we congratulate Pres. Trump — Blue Magazine’s 2020 Man of the Year!
