Despite many red flags, 'unhinged' Trump sails on

Yes, it’s all there. Drug trafficking, human trafficking and the immigration fiasco. 

Blaming and denouncing Democrats, Obama, the media, turning on our long-time allies, embracing murderous tyrants like Putin and currently Kim Jong-Un, and anyone else for his horrific policies and shortcomings.

The Hitler-like similarities are undeniable and are cause for serious concern.

What bothers me the most is where is his family? 

Why don’t they speak out as some members of his own political party have at last?  

How many red flags will it take to remove this unhinged individual (aka Dictator) named President Donald J. Trump from office?

National Republican Party of today? Social Darwinists

As the 2018 national election season is now upon us, I want to try to inform as many of my fellow Americans as possible about how the 2018 national Republican Party is different from the one that I grew up knowing in the 1950s and 1960s.

The major difference is that back then “conservative” Republicans wanted the federal government to spend less than it was on social programs intended to help people, including Social Security.

    Today, however, there are a large number of “conservative Republicans” (especially in the U.S. Congress, in the conservative-media and in “conservative think-tanks”) who go far beyond this and who are, in effect, modern cold-hearted “survival-of-the-fittest” Social Darwinists whose goal and plan is to eliminate and abolish all federal government social programs, including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps and College Student Loans. 

However, they do not want to admit this to the public. Eventually, they will set their sights on Unemployment Insurance Benefits as well.

July 4 should spur U.S. to return to loving God, man

America has come a long way from July 4, 1776, when it declared its independence from Great Britain, and said in its declaration, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Many paid a great price to obtain independence from the then powerful Empire of Great Britain. Nine of the 56 signers of the Declaration “died from wounds, or hardships of The Revolutionary War of Independence.”  

Since that war, hundreds of thousands more have died to preserve this great country and its principles.

Unfortunately, too many have forgotten what those principles were. 

To many, “these truths” are not so “self-evident” any more. Instead of, “that all men are created equal” they divide us into different races and groups.  But there is only one Human Race, and it started with Adam and Eve.  When they divide, they are actually saying we are not equal to them.  THOSE ARE THE REAL RACISTS.                                             

America must return to God, the Creator.  He did in fact create everything on Earth and the Heavens. Those fellows’ souls who said otherwise, are in the Hell God created.  Theirs was nothing but nonsense!

The Creator did give us “certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” 

Defend those rights properly and appreciate them, and the sacrifice Americans have made to protect them.

Love God and your Neighbor/Fellowman, as He directed us to do.          

 In Jesus’ name, stop the baby killing!
