Trump has ‘the guts’
Trump has ‘the guts’
It makes me sad to hear a judge from Hawaii blocked President Donald Trump’s travel ban, calling it discrimination against Muslims.
It is not a Muslim ban. It’s a ban on refugees from countries infested with terrorists who would love nothing more than to come into our country and create death and destruction.
I don’t know about you, but I want to live in a safe country and not have to worry about a terrorist coming to my airport, shopping mall or workplace and threatening me or my family.
Judge Derrick Watson has put us all in danger. Wake up, people! This is the world we live in now. That is why a man like Donald Trump was elected. He has the guts and determination to make America safe.
We must make our country safe for us and our children and their children. Praying for the USA!

Win without war
Sadly, our said “Presidunt” (not a spelling error) Donald Trump released his budget plan, and it is as bad as we feared: $54 billion more for war, while slashing lifesaving programs here and around the world.
Under the Trump administration, we are seeing a rise in fear and anger because of the terrifying push to undermine women’s rights, human rights and now humanitarian aid globally. His budget proposal leaves millions of people vulnerable to famine and without basic health care, food and shelter, all under the guise of increasing America’s security. It’s dangerous, counterproductive and downright wrong.
This is not what I or most all of us want to see our taxes spent on. My feeling is that keeping people healthy, educated and respected — no matter if you are male or female, and regardless of your skin or religion — is taxes well spent and the best answer to life without war.
What I see now is a deeper and needlessly angrier division of “we the people” of the United States of America. This also separates us more from other nations and makes the saying, “the Ugly American,” coined in the ’50s, true again.
Please, we all have to stop these anal-retentive plans of spending “our” taxes on a budget plan to increase military funds and obstruct a better way of living for all.
