The President Seems Confused

Maybe we should give President Trump some slack. Sometimes it takes a while for a new president to understand all the players when they first come into office.

Illegal Immigration Not Bad As Made Out To Be


Should we allow everyone flood across our border... absolutely not!
But what if a person worked hard, paid taxes, raised a family and kept their nose clean for decades?

There's a price to pay not only for them but it becomes very expensive for taxpayers to simply round them and send them back. In doing so we might be shooting ourselves in the foot. In a number of cases it leaves their families financially devastated with many ending up on taxpayer supported government programs they otherwise would not. Farmers who can't find labor. Less revenue coming into our economy, taxes and a few other considerations as the following videos points out.

One of the legacy's Ronald Reagan left behind was his 1986 amnesty program for illegal immigrants. At the time it was thought by a number people on both sides of the aisle to be a common sense solution all things considered-- could it be one now as well?

Should Non Profits Be Allowed To Politicize?

Trump Vows to ‘Destroy’ Law Banning Political Endorsements by Churches
By Mark Landler and Laurie Goosstein | New York Times
"President Trump vowed on Thursday to overturn a law restricting political speech by tax-exempt churches... Mr. Trump said his administration would “totally destroy” the Johnson Amendment, a 1954 law that prohibits churches from endorsing or opposing political candidates at the risk of losing their tax-exempt status"

My View
We should simplify our tax codes by making everyone pay.. PERIOD. Face it with these and other non profits it's become nearly impossible to separate where one ends and the other begins for the IRS.

Many churches have become wealthy with their schools and daycare programs going far beyond a religious mission. Some of them offering discount financing for their members. Life's a two way street. If government is to leave it's hands off of churches so should they when it comes to government unless they contribute to help fund it. Same applies to universities who also have political aims. Much the same goes with so-called nonprofit hospitals who seem to have almost unlimited money available for expansions as well as these so-called foundations.

If we truly want to simplify the tax code this would be the fairest and shortest route to take. As a individual we are required to pay taxes on every dollar we take in. Why it should it not be so for any organization whatsoever either?

Some may argue the services they provide would come at a cost. On the other hand one may argue how many have taken advantage and benefited from such?

This wouldn't affect organizations that rely solely on leadership and volunteers who donate their time. Something entirely different from those who make a career living off of many of these organizations and religious organizations we're seeing today.

Plenty of of buck$ to be made..

More Fake News From The White House

"Spicer says nationwide protests of Trump are not like Tea Party was... You know the Tea Party was a very organic movement."

My Comments
When the Tea Party Express bus first rolled into Allentown at Cedar Beach I questioned who the hell is paying for that thing? It doesn't come cheap.

I'll list several links why this Spicer guy is so full of baloney even Oscar Meyer doesn't have this much stored in all it's warehouses.

There's no way Spicer can be this ignorant. There comes a point where political spin stops and becomes a outright lie.

Academia Lost One Of It's Most Brilliant Minds

It saddens me to report the world's foremost authority Professor Irwin Corey passed away in New York on Monday February 6, 2017 at the age of 102.

Researchers at several universities are at a loss for words. Who knows how many of today's young minds were infected affected by Irwin's life work. Many of his offspring students went on to become bleeders leaders in today's government. Other's have gone on into the swamp field of education at various universities leeching teaching others. Yes it's a sad day indeed.
