Deportations and Tariffs - odds and ends

1.  Deportations  A common refrain from the ACLU*, and their Democrat and media allies is to say the illegal alien "has no criminal record" when objecting the Trump Administration's efforts to deport that person.  The statement may be true, but the statement was also true about the following individuals: Jose Ibarra had no criminal record prior to being arrested for the murder of Laken Riley. Victor Martinez-Hernandez had no criminal record prior to being arrested for the murder of Rachel Morin Jing Ming-Long had no criminal record until he was arrested for sex trafficking Mark Anthony Scaffe had no criminal record until he was arrested for rape and indecent assault and battery all involving a child under 14 years of age. Why isn't the fact that these individuals aren't supposed to be in the United States enough of a reason to deport them?  Why do the ACLU, Democrats, and the Media want to wait until an illegal alien has a criminal record before that person can be...

Thoughts about Tariffs

President Trump has begun using tariffs as a tool to bring other countries to the negotiating table to remove barriers to trade erected by other countries and to encourage them to purchase more American products.  Trump did this in his typical dramatic fashion, giving rise to dramatic reactions.  Wall Street reacted with significant losses for a few days and remains unsettled, financial experts have questioned the approach, and Democrats have seized on this to criticize Trump for his actions.

As for the whiners and complainers, if I could play the violin, I'd pull one out and play a sad song and then you I have no sympathy.  You've profited while America has suffere...

What do Democrats stand for?

President Trump gave his State of the Union speech recently to massive approval ratings from the American people.  Meanwhile, the actions, reactions and response by the Democrats were widely criticized.  Democrat approval ratings in the polls are incredibly low and members of the party were calling for Senator Chuck Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. When we examine what the Democrats stand for or seem to stand for it becomes apparent why Americans prefer Trump.  Democrats support: -- Biological men competing in women's sports.  They disregard the impact to women who have lost scholarships, awards and trophies, or who have been physically injured.  They further disregard the feelings of women who are offended by seeing biological men in their locker rooms. -- Biological men being incarcerated in women's prisons, ignoring the fact that women in those prisons complain of being raped and impregnated by those "female" prisoners with male appendages. -- Ignorin...
