2nd amendment, Health Care, Convention of States
What do these three things have in common? Well to start with only two of them are constitutional. Can you guess with two? This is very important because this goes to the heart of the problem in America. Is our government following the constitution?
The 2nd amendment is a very import right we have and it is under assault by the anti-freedom crowd. The anti-freedom crowds doesn’t believe you should be able to defend yourself with deadly force, because if you kill your assailant you have taken away their right to a fair trial and due process.
The convention of states is very important, because it gives the states who created the federal government in the first place, the opportunity to correct deficiencies in the constitution that our founding fathers knew would arise. It’s called an Article V Convention of the States
Healthcare remains a huge issue at the federal level. And this is a shame, because if more folks knew the constitution and forced the federal government to live by it, we wouldn’t be having these discussions in the first place. You see the federal government wasn’t granted the enumerated power by to states to govern over any aspect of healthcare, period!!!

The only Pre-Existing condition in America: Anti-Freedom!!!
America is at a cross roads. The fight for freedom is as important today as it was when the founding generation of this country fought and won our independence from the British empire!!!
The Anti-Freedom folks and groups of America are suffering from pre-existing conclusions!!! They have made up their collective minds that certain conclusions are factual and can’t be refuted. The problem with their stance is facts and truth don’t support their pre-existing conclusions. They made up their minds that what they believe just has to be true and factual, and their conclusions are correct without really examining any facts or truth. Worse yet the Anti-Freedom crowds cherry pick the facts they use to support their conclusions.
True freedom demands true facts, and conclusions based on those facts. You cannot survive long without an examination of who you are and why you think the way you think. This is an ongoing process, this should be a daily process. True freedom fights for and defends truth and facts. If you are not defending the truth then you can’t have freedom!!!

Budgets, Banks, and Freedom
Although the budget bill that is working it’s way through congress isn’t perfect, it will keep the government open for a little while. Are you kidding me? Where are all the fiscal conservatives who ran on a platform of smaller government? This is why so many Americans have a distrust of government, they seem to be unable to keep their campaign promises!!!
There was a recent supreme court decision handed down, that says cities can sue banks for predatory lending practices. What about all the redline regulations the government passed that forced banks to make risky loans in the first place? And what about the responsibility of the borrower to not get a risky loan in the first place.
Venezuela is descending deeper into chaos and ruin, and president Maduro just stepped on the accelerator. He just raised the minimum wage for government employees.

Watermelons marching on America
Comrades to the left of me, fascist to the right of me, freedom stuck right in the middle!!! Every where you look now a days you see anti-freedom protesters marching for various causes. Often times without a clue as to the cause or even being able to answer simple questions as to why they are marching and protesting.
College students who think they know more than anyone else in the room, often are not even clued in on policy, positions, and simple facts. Video after video show how ill informed they are when it comes to anything political. They are told a narrative and without any questions they run with the narrative as fact, even when it is proven to be false.
The anti-freedom crowd in America is getting better organized and louder. The only problem is they know so much that really isn’t true. We can defeat this narrative the anti-freedom crowd is pushing with simple facts and analysis. But we also need to be active in countering the anti-freedom groups, and their narrative.

More Freedom or Less Freedom?
Everyday we have to get up in the morning and decide what we are going to do today. Some times we plan our day the night before, and some times we have a more free spirit about us and plan on the fly as we go. But WE are still in charge of what we are going to do each day. We have more freedom and liberty than any body else in the world!!!
There are groups in America that think we have too much freedom and they seek to curtail our freedoms in a fashion and manner that they dictate. They curtail our freedoms and liberty in different ways. Out right in your face confrontations like bullies on a school yard, or through more subtle ways like government regulations and policies.
We need to realize as Americans, that God has blessed us greatly with our country!!! As Americans we have a responsibility to the generations that come after us, to secure the freedoms and liberties we enjoy now, for them. We need to stand up to the bullies in the anti-freedom movements, and declare to them, “THIS LINE AND NO FURTHER”.

President Trump’s 1st 100 days, Facts and Fiction
President Trump’s 1st 100 days have been interesting to say the least. A lot of Trump supporters see nothing wrong and Trump is doing a fine job. Those who are apposed to Trump see everything that he has done is wrong. And then there are those like me who are outside observers that look at the 1st 100 days with mixed views.
There is nothing wrong with Trump supporters, supporting President Trump. They do have a bias but they never denied they didn’t have a bias toward president Trump.
Those in the less freedom camp of our country see nothing good or positive in the Trump administration. They made up their minds long before the November 8th 2016 presidential election that Donald Trump was evil and needed to be stopped. No amount of proof will sway these folks.
I would have to give president Trumps 1st 100 days a B- to a B. His stance on immigration, regulation, and the over reaching bureaucracy is spot on constitutional. His ideas on trade, the economy and foreign policy need a lot of constitutional work, but one thing is for certain with president Trump, if you make a persuasive argument for something he is most likely to change his position on it. President Trump is many thing but an ideologue he is not!!!

Where is the audio/video of AP’s interview with president Trump?
In today’s news environment, stories frequently run ahead of known facts. Stories are run and posted online with very little if any second source confirmation. And when someone tries to find a second source so they can report or comment on a story, they can’t find it.
AP’s Julie Pace interviewed president Donald Trump on April 23, 2017 and all that is online is a transcript of the interview, no audio or video as of this morning is available to compare the transcript to.
Huffington Post’s Alana Horowitz Satlin ran a story entitled 7 Baffling Moments From Donald Trump’s AP Interviewbased solely on the AP transcript of the interview. When I tweeted her if she has a copy of the audio/video of the interview, she tweeted that she trusted AP wouldn’t fabricate raw quotes.
Social media is being lit up by this interview and too many folks are running the story as is without checking the audio/video source to compare it to the transcript. This is shoddy journalism, and this is why we are so divided politically in America today!!!

Why don’t we learn the lessons of history?
We are going through history as we speak. Some folks go through life and have very little impact on history and that’s ok, not everyone needs to make history to be important. Some folks go through life hoping to make an impact on history. When you try to impact or write history, the story isn’t always going to be a good one. Sometimes folks or groups of folks in history make a pretty good mess in their time, and it is remembered by future generations.
To go back through history and try to erase your history because of political expedience is laughable at best. Someone some where is always going to remember or dig up the facts about your history and share it with other folks. But that is exactly what the Democrat party and those on the left are doing, trying to hide their sordid history from the public by tearing down monuments and memorials to the past. The leftist of the world have always been on the wrong side of history, and if we let folks forget this, they will repeat the errors of the past and cause untold sufferings, that could have been avoided if they weren’t aloud to erase and rewrite history!!!

The real war on science, and our boarders
Earth day 2017 has come and gone, and nothing has changed. The real science deniers were out in force trying to get folks to believe that humans are cussing climate change and trying to use the force of government to bolster their point of view. Even Bill Nye “not the science guy” dressed down CNN for having a climate denier on their broadcast. Bottom line, human caused climate change has never been proven, and I don’t think it ever will be.
When you politicize science, scientist are chasing after the grant money that politicians are taking from the tax payers to support a political position. When scientist chase the money, they themselves become corrupt and sometimes so do their findings!!!
The debate over a boarder wall is still ragging on in America. The progressives and libertarians in the country want open boarders for different reasons. Most folks who want open boarders, don’t see the actual cost savings of a boarder wall, mainly wages to maintain a larger than needed human presence on the boarder. With a wall, you would need less boarder enforcement by people and would be able to concentrate more on enforcing the law instead of chasing illegals crossing the boarder.
