SCOTUS

All sides are in a tizzy about the new nomination to the Supreme Court. The Democrats are once again being hypocritical (typical). Back when a Republican was in office in an election year and this issue came up they were all about saying the nomination should wait until the new president took office. Now that the tables are turned and a "Democrat" is in office during an election year, they are all about nominating a new judge as soon as possible. The Republicans are rightly saying it should wait.
I got to thinking about the irony, and it dawned on me this may be a good sign. The fact they want a nomination now, tells me they aren't overly confident they will win in November. If they were so sure that the Democrat candidate was going to be elected, why would they be in such a hurry to get the Supreme Court vacancy filled now? They could just lay low and confident that their guy in November would take care of that after they win. They may be worried the American people will see through the smoke and mirrors....and lies and corruption and not vote for the democrat nominee for president. As for me, I sure hope that's the case..that we the true Americans rise up and take our country back. Anyway, something to ponder......

Immigration

We hear so much in the news about immigration. We must stop it, we must let them in, we must take care of those suffering, we must send away those here and on and on. I have definite opinions on this, but as I've been reading about boundaries lately, I have seen a correlation with personal and national. As an individual we all need healthy boundaries. We can't do it all, nor can we allow others to take advantage of us. In order to be useful and helpful members of society we need to take care of ourselves first. Even in the Bible Jesus took time away from others and took time to "feed" Himself. If we give everything away we will get to the point of not having anything to give and collapse. What's the correlation you ask? It is the same with America and immigration. If we let everyone in and try to take care of the whole world it will only lead to our collapse. It is healthy to have limits.  It is healthy for the United States to build walls of protection. We need to control who is able to come into the country and in this case not just the volume, but have the ability to keep out those who seek to harm us as well. The intent is not to harm people by keeping them out, but to maintain the ability to continue helping as we are able. If we drain our resources and are not able to even help those who are here, who are citizens that need help, it will most definitely lead to collapse.
There is no meaning to the laws and rules (boundaries) if we continue to allow, without consequence, people to break those laws. The word illegal means forbidden by law. This means criminal. Changing the name to undocumented or displaced does not change the truth of what is happening. Thousands of people have been waiting years going through the process to come to America legally, and allowing thousands more to just run across the border as criminals, disrespects and hurts those doing it the right way. Allowing them to break the law and drain the system hurts all Americans and those coming to America legally. We cannot keep showing favoritism and better treatment to criminals than we do our own citizens of America.
We in essence are not protecting ourselves and keeping our "boundaries" as a country. Just as an individual cannot fully function without healthy boundaries, neither can a nation. America has always been about helping others, about giving opportunities, about a better life, but we will loose that ability if we don't close ranks and fix the problems now.  You take care of your family and yourself first and this gives you the ability to help others more effectively. America needs to take care of America so we can effectively help others.

We Need American Patriots

This is by far the most controversial and important election in America's history, in my opinion. Even more so than the last two, we are at a turning point. America can go either way. Fight to keep our freedoms or let a minority take over and vanish our freedoms inch by inch. The divide may have never been greater. I don't think it's an overstatement to say the status of our liberty as a free country is on the line. The options for president are few. Most notably two socialists, one a life long criminal and one a bum, both who want to give America away. On the other side of the isle there are a few good options but I think one stands out far above the rest.
I'm going out on a limb and say that my "dream team" to run and Win the presidency and vice presidency is Cruz and Carson. Ted Cruz and Ben Carson are men of deep integrity. Having character is not something new for these men. They have a solid history of strong values and morals. Ted Cruz stands for his principles and does not back down from doing the right thing, even if he stands alone. He knows the Constitution and fully supports and defends it, something that has been lacking in the last 7 years. Ben Carson is a man of great intelligence as well as more wisdom in his pinkie that most now in leadership. Both worked extremely hard to get to where they are, and know the value of hard work and stamina. Not of the least importance, both of these men have a strong faith in God. Contrary to what the media the left and the radical want us all to believe, America was founded as, and still is a Christian nation. No amount of rewriting history (aka lying) or preventing the proper education of our children in American values, citizenship or how a republic nation works, can change what the truth actually is. We need to stop accommodating values and culture that go against the fabric of America, to the detriment of our own freedoms. Too many divisions in a country make a country no more.
I have to believe the majority core of Americans do still love America, and cherish the freedoms unique only to us. The problem lies with those minority beliefs that have taken over those who are in leadership. People need to help educate those who have no understanding of what we could loose. They look only at the free things promised without the consequences that will surly come with that.
Socialism leads to communism which leads to a destroyed and depraved nation.
Guaranteed.
Everytime.
As much of the world slowly escapes and distances from these lies and corruption, America appears to be running toward them. Punishing those who work hard and earn money, to give to those who don't, only destroys a country. America is a land of equal OPPORTUNITY not equal OUTCOME. Everyone has the opportunity to succeed at some level if they work hard and persevere. It's why so many risked their lives over the last two centuries to come to America. People also forget that those who succeed big, and run companies, provide opportunity for more people to work and achieve their dreams as well. Don't punish success and innovation, it IS what built America. We need to purge out the attitude of entitlement and bring back the attitude of good work ethics and morals.
Stand firm. Educate. Don't let the American Dream and American exceptionalism die with our generation.

Weary

Race, racism, racist. These words are used so much they no longer have meaning. If someone disagrees with you call them racist. If someone does better than you call them a racist. Racism is thrown around to cast blame and make victims. Racist is defined as someone who believes or a belief one race is superior to another. The fact that someone gets paid more, has a better job, house does not mean they are or think they are superior to anyone.
It appears the only ones calling out racism are actually the ones discriminating.
I've said before the world has turned upside down. We daily see evidence of this.
It matters not what color anyone is, it only matters what their character is.
America is better than what appears to be happening. We cannot let the small amount of agitators change who we are as a country.
