Do You Identify As An American? Then Give America the Christmas Gift of Supporting Her President !

For Those Who Don’t Support President Trump ... For Those Who Support President Trump ... For Those Who Stay Out of Politics ... A citizenry knowledgeable about her government officials and policies is a very good thing. It ensures honesty and holds servant officials to their obligation to serve their constituents. It reduces the amount of deception, political scandal and manipulation perpetrated on the country because so many eyes are trained on the comings and goings of their political leaders. An engaged audience sees more and expects more. That can only be good for everyone … that is, everyone except the grinches of the world who live to take, hurt, manipulate, destroy, and deny all successes. Whether or not you agree with all the policies of the Trump Administration, you can still respect and support the office of the United States President ...

House Intelligence Report is 300 Pages of What? – Foolish Waste of Time & Money

The U.S. House Intelligence Committee is showing anything but Intelligence in its ludicrous assertions ... Evidently, the Committee was unable to simply state their baseless case against the President, because it’s bloated report spanned 300 pages. Yes, 300 pages! What an unnecessarily long-winded, superfluous, megalomaniacal diatribe. An investigation doesn’t claim guilt; it merely looks into the possibility of wrongdoing. Isn’t the Biden’s dealings at least worth looking into - if not only to clear up any suspicion? ...

You Tried It, House … Now Get To Doing Your Actual Job!

The man is the President of the United States of America. He has power to do things, appoint people, hire and fire people, and initiate actions. And by the way, you don’t have to agree with those things he does or the people he chooses. He answers to the American people, who by the way, elected him based on his brash, in-your-face, call it like I see it, UNpolitically correct promises to Make America Great Again.  He didn’t change. He campaigned as the same person he is now that he’s president. No bait and switch. No tell the voters one thing and then get into office and not do any of it. This man is actually doing what he said he would do if we elected him President. ... Congress, how ‘bout you start doing your jobs. And, no your job is NOT to conduct neverending investigations into all these lame and sketchy charges Trump’s opponents keep conjuring up. Grow up and put your petty personal differences aside for the good of the country. ...

Helping People is Good; Socialism, Not So Much

The socialist philosophy that all should have their basic needs met resonates with our own humanity. No one really wants people to suffer. ... There is a symbiotic relationship between doing and having. With few exceptions, those that do, have; and those that do not, do not have. ... If you want more than you currently have, then learn from others, work harder or smarter, sacrifice to put your goals first, find or create opportunities, and utilize support systems to help you succeed. No one said it would be easy, but if you really want something, be willing to work for it. ... not your parents, not the government, not social programs, not welfare. ... Socialism would aim to “help” those able-bodied by throwing money and services at their poor choices instead of letting them flounder through and learn from them. ... So, how about we help those who are truly unable.

Conclusion of The Socialism Fairy Tale: Once Upon A Time Socialism Worked …

Socialism promises you everything for free, leading you to foolishly believe there is no price to pay for such things. But alas, EVERYTHING has a price. ... Inefficient, bloated, power-hungry, greedy, deceitful, and wasteful are all words used to describe the villain Socialism. ... Of course in the end the heroes win; and Socialism is exposed for the lying, cheating, scoundrel that he is. He is forced to leave the land. And the people lived happily ever after.

The Socialism Fairy Tale: Once Upon A Time Socialism Worked …

In this story, Socialism is the villain. Fortunately for the good guys, Socialism is somehow - despite his evil powers - unable to carry out his devious plan without minions, henchmen, and stooges. Of course, they can’t be smarter or more reasonable than their leader; and God forbid they have a conscience. These traits only serve to challenge Socialism and that simply will not do. In order to be unfairly ruled over, controlled and oppressed, the subjects must first believe the villain has their best interest at heart. Then they must blindly follow - sycophants welcome - abandoning all manner of common sense, and accept illogical, unproven, and yes, even disproven information as their new truth. ... And there you have it, Socialism defrauds his way into power, leaving his subjects to take what he gives and like it. Good workers become disenfranchised, private enterprise is steamrolled, freedom of choice is whitewashed, and poverty begins to spread.

Does iGeneration Reverence 9/11?

When I hear middle and high schoolers speaking nonchalantly about the horrific events of 9/11, I feel something twist in my abdomen and push against my chest. ... How does one joke about such a dreadful event? Believe me, immature teens and preteens can find a way. And it infuriates me! ... Their lack of compassion for the loss, and their lack of understanding of the extent of that loss is difficult to watch ... It’s been 18 years since it happened … meaning they weren’t there. They didn’t experience it. The only way they will adopt the perspective needed and the solemn approach desired is if we pass it on to them. Not just once or twice, but often...

Death By Vaping: Still Too Many Unknowns

How does vaping - the thing that was supposed to help smokers kick the habit - turn out to be a killer itself? ... it should be fairly obvious that if we choose to regularly inhale something other than oxygen into our respiratory systems, it probably won’t go well. At the very least, we should know exactly what it is and what it does to our bodies in both the short and long term... It begs the question: why are our young people so desperate to get high? Are they so bored, unhappy, devalued, indifferent, pressured, thrill-seeking or addicted that they feel compelled to find an outlet? Why didn’t preteens, teens and young adults fall prey to these types of addictions fifty years ago? What is so different now?

Are we Co-Signing on the Mass Institutionalization of Our Children?

You can’t be on both sides of the fence: what is in our bodies is our choice, our responsibility, and ours alone. Yet, many of those same babies are given over for up to 10 hours a day to be someone else’s responsibility instead of the mother’s. Is that reasonable? ... If mothers knew they would have to be the one to care for their own children for the first year or two or three, would that change the number of births or pregnancy terminations? If mass daycare and mass abortion were not booming, money-making industries, do you think people would give more thought to whether or not to get pregnant and have a child?
