Disgusting

Every member of Congress that went to El Salvador along with Congressional members who are providing narratives that state how this “Maryland man” must be returned so he can receive the “due process” he’s entitled to is absolutely wrong and they should all be censored for their actions.

Define ‘great’

In 1960, protesters were attacked for integrating the beach on U.S. 90. Is this what “Make America Great Again” means? Today, Black spring breakers are still being discouraged from enjoying our beach.

Milquetoast diplomacy

President Trump appealed to Vladimir Putin to stop bombing Ukraine via social media.

Should I leave?

If birthright citizenship goes away, will I still be a U.S. citizen? I was born here as well as both my parents, but all four of my grandparents were born in the old country, and none of them made the effort to learn to speak any English. So how do I know if they made the effort to become naturalized citizens? If not, then I won’t be a U.S. citizen either. How about you?

They’re illegal

Personally, I find it fascinatingly funny that liberal judges and the media believe it illegal to deport illegals.

Regulations

President Trump’s answer to our heavily regulated society is to break everything he doesn’t like. Regulations have generally been created to remedy a problem. Research food safety in the early 1900s if you don’t believe that. Sometimes these regulations outlive their usefulness or become outdated by new ideas. Clinton and Gore had a process called “Reinventing Government” back in the 90s. This process was collaborative and involved Congress and federal employees as assistants, not the enemy. Google it and check out the right way to modernize our Government.

Disaster relief

According to CNN, the Trump administration has denied Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ request to declare a major disaster for recent March tornadoes in Arkansas. This denial follows executive orders signed by Trump seeking to shift the financial burden to the states. So far, it is unclear whether Mississippi and Missouri face similar denials. Gov Sanders has appealed the denial. Take note, Mississippi hurricane watchers, a change is coming.

Art of the Deal

So now we’re going to back off the tariffs on China? Looks like another L for Mr. Art of the Deal.

Repercussions

Do you know what will happen to our country, or better still civilization, if we stop scientific research? It looks like we are about to see.

OS ‘deal’

An investigative reporter uncovers a “secret plan” to develop Front Beach condos. Mayor Holloway to voters: Oh, we’re just thinking about it. Voters to Holloway: We’re kicking you and your minions out of office. The developers then have the pure audacity to approach the incoming council with the same plan. After watching the voters kick Holloway and company out of office, they’re not about to touch the plan. So much for that deal.

Maybe try ‘pretty please’

Donald Trump is making himself look foolish by shouting out to Vladimir Putin on social media, “Vladimir, STOP!”, as though that will have the least influence on Putin’s ambitions in Ukraine and eastern Europe.

Thanks a lot

Taking my life in my hands, I crossed Lorraine Road to hit the McDonald’s before I starved to death. As if that’s not hard enough, some clown in a dark blue crossover had to blow his horn at me. Such compassion. Such understanding.
