Arresting a judge

So, you think arresting someone, who happens to be a Judge, for assisting with a wanted person evading arrest is fascism? But the Judge deciding that the wanted person is more important than following the law isn’t?

Child sex abuse

The article written by Tom Davis, Jr. and Jack Watts regarding child sex abuse leaves one with the impression that all a parent needs to do is report the abuse or feel shamed for not speaking up. As someone who spent years working with children, I know that merely reporting it is not nearly enough.

Trump rating

With the media’s constant spewing of anti-Trump propaganda, it’s hard to see how he has any approval rating.

Due process

Apparently many in the Republican Party no longer believe in due diligence, due process, or the Constitution. There’s certainly no problem with deporting those here illegally. However, whether you like it or not, it’s the law that all receive due process. Maybe you’d think differently remembering all our families, except Native Americans, were immigrants, and it’s likely many came here illegally.

Lenin quote

Vladimir Lenin’s quote is coming through before our very eyes. “Give me four years to teach the children, and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” Isn’t it curious that the largest universities currently experiencing civil protests and unrest also are the largest recipients of foreign donations?

Bored

Is anyone else as bored as I am with the daily attacks on President Trump in the Sound Off? Yawn.

Not like Hitler

You know, I’m really getting tired of people saying President Trump is like Adolf Hitler. Actually, Vladimir Putin is like Hitler. Trump is like Benito Mussolini. Take from that what you will.
