Even Liberals Should Agree With Trump On This

Daily Mail
Army of more than 1,000 Central Americans fleeing violence and unrest march unchallenged through Mexico towards the US border

"1,200 migrants from Central America headed on foot to the US on Sunday. 80 per cent of the migrants hail from Honduras, where there has been political unrest and gang activity"

Mexico needs to stop these refuges from entering their southern border in the first place. Failing to do so and by allowing them safe passage to challenge our borders should bear repercussions. This is not acceptable. While I favor DACA this is not OK. I've often said allowing too many on a boat will sink it. They must be stopped even if it requires troops to do so.

There are already a bunch of unsavory traffickers we know who profit by bringing pregnant women from Russia and elsewhere to give birth here. Thus allowing their children to become U.S. citizens. We don't need this BS. I'm all for compassion but this is far from acceptable. Compassion is not to be made a fool of by those who wish to exploit our good intentions. By no means should we mete out our compassion based upon threats when we choose not to do so in certain instances.

Their intention is to use social media to gain three or four thousand more as they continue to march towards us. Even if there were five thousand I'm confident we don't need a wall. I bet between rubber bullets, sonic repellers, tear gas, smoke bombs, water cannons flash bangs and batons our law enforcement would be able to handle them.

Sad thing is this will reinforce Trump's ill will towards those wishing to come here and those already here who will suffer because of it. However be that as it may we simply can't allow those unwilling to fight for themselves in their own country to come here and force their way into ours. Americans have fought hard and long for what we have. This they must do the same for theirs. There's only so much empathy I have for their suffering. I don't want the United States to become the military policemen of the world. Neither should these people. Nor do I want to become the world's dumping ground for everyone in the world who has a problem with their government.

I like to think of myself as open minded. But liberalism is not a fool to be taken advantage of. These people marching towards our border seem to believe everyone who is progressive is not in support of a strong military to sustain our way of life. In that they are very much mistaken. Trump needs to stop this invasion at our border by whatever means it takes.

Facebook Not The Only Boogieman

It's getting tougher and tougher for U.S. citizens to discern factual information from that of propagandists.

Deadspin: The Concourse
How America's Largest Local TV Owner Turned Its News Anchors Into Soldiers In Trump's War On The Media"CNN’s Brian Stelter broke the news that Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner or operator of nearly 200 television stations in the U.S., would be forcing its news anchors to record a promo about “the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country.” The script, which parrots Donald Trump’s oft-declarations of developments negative to his presidency as “fake news,” brought upheaval to newsrooms already dismayed with Sinclair’s consistent interference to bring right-wing propaganda to local television broadcasts."

Murdoch's Fox looking to buy 10 Sinclair TV stations: sources"Sinclair is selling the channels to win regulatory approval for its deal to buy Tribune Media Co..."

Bigger Isn't Better
This is what happens when super sized corporations are allowed to own almost all the information we receive. Family owned newspapers, radio and TV stations have all but disappeared because of government deregulation. So have many of the retailers and farms. Can anyone honestly say this is a good thing?

April Fools Day (A Look Back)

Ray O'Connell Is Allentown's New Mayor

I'm sure just about everyone has heard by now Ray O'Connell was selected by council as Allentown's new mayor. I've put off posting about this till I had the opportunity to skim through as many sites as possible to see the various reactions. They were exactly like I expected.

Trolls and naysayers always do what I expect them to. Rip apart the guy and council members before they left Friday's meeting. 99.9% of these people are low information people who spouted more inaccuracies then I could ever hope to catalog here. So too offering no good ideas of their own. Many of the comments were bashing liberals in the city about their intolerance and hatred of all things conservative while doing just exactly that after Ray's appointment. Hypocritical much?

Only about 10% came out to vote in Lehigh County in the 2017 local elections. Look if you guys don't want to show up and want somebody else to run the show shut up when they do. You had your chance.

I truly believe it wouldn't have mattered if Jesus Christ himself came back and was appointed to run the city. People would still be spoiling for a fight. After all look how that turned out for him the first time.

The good news is Ray will be lucky to see more then 5 people show up at regular council meetings to complain. The vast majority will continue to remain in their cocoons on social media howling at the moon. So too conservatives whining offering no one to run against Democrats like they've done for years. They instead blaming everyone but themselves for their failure. Maybe they should push for a special council to look into this, eh?

Now if we were truly reasonable people we should want to move on from all this bickering and turmoil Allentown has undergone. Let Ray push on till the next election. It isn't as if he was appointed mayor for life. Chill.

Stormy Daniels, Who Gives A...

TPM
Stormy Daniels’ Lawyer Says He Would Consider A Settlement In Trump Case"Michael Avenatti, the lawyer representing Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against President Donald Trump, said on Wednesday morning that he would consider settling the case."

COMMENTARYGee who would have seen this coming. I am certainly no fan of Donald Trump but no one gives one iota who he did or did not have sex with. The lawyer, Donald and the porn star are all the same class of money grabbers. They all deserve each other and whatever wrought they bring upon one another. Same goes with all the cable news channels who are in the same bed with them looking to cash in. Each are looking for a payout who could care less about what best serves the average person living in this country.

I truly wish everyone would focus on what affects us more importantly. Who gives a crap about them. Let's talk about Social Security, Medicare, our debt crises nationally, statewide and locally. The overburden of taxes. The federal government is about to impose tariffs we all will have to pay for while our national debt is ignored. Cops who are going Rambo in far too many cases. Our food and waters being poisoned by chemical overuse. Farm land being swallowed up. Unparalleled divisiveness between conservatives and liberals. You name it-- we have a problem with it that needs solving

Will there ever come a point the American people wake up and realize they are being played against one another by distraction from what really matters? The common bond we each share with one another in our daily lives. It ain't about guns, whether one is a Republican or Democrat. What it really boils down to is are we going to let these divisive clowns fool us into believing we all don't want the same things for ourselves while they accumulate both power and money while driving us apart?

Are You, You?

Watch this video and I shall explain why I asked that question.



So okay, suppose teleportation was possible and we are nothing more then a teleported image of our original selves. Does that mean we are who we think we are or just some sort of image of our true self whom we think we to be?

Would one necessarily have to exclude (eliminate) the other?
In other words could our original self coexist at the same time in a separate place?
If so could the two (original and replicate) ever meet?

Religion tells us we were formed in the image of the creator. Could we be nothing more then a product of some superior being's replicator machine fashioned after one of the many facets of itself?

Who knows maybe I AM THE CREATOR and all the rest of you are nothing more then a product of my dreams. Engaging in mental masturbation while asleep, if you will :-)

Reminder To SelfMy pharmacy called.

It's time to refill my meds.

NRA Received Foreign Donations

Mediaite
NRA Admits to Receiving Foreign Donations..."the organization has acknowledged that they accept money from foreign political entities for their advocacy work. They insist, however, that these donations had nothing to do with the 2016 election.

The FEC has been looking into the NRA’s financial affairs after learning that they have taken contributions from Russian nationals with ties to Vladimir Putin. "

Not so Red, White And Blue after all are they!
Nice to know Putin is so concerned about our constitutional rights.

How American of Russia to want us to be well armed.
