Trump Becoming one of The Best Presidents

Trump may have gotten off to a rocky start.  He was wrapped up in all kinds of allegations for the first 6 months of his Presidency.  From the Russian Collusion to the firing of the FBI Director it was obvious that the powers to be were out to sink this President in an unprecedented way.

However, the Russia Collusion stuff has died down and much of what was supposed evidence has either been proven false, turned up nothing or has been fake. 

Trump did what most incoming Presidents do, he went to work with his party to get big legislation done quickly.  The only problem was his party failed to get things done.  They lied to the American People and he called them out on it.

With his agenda at a stand still, President Trump has forged a path that very few Presidents ever do.  He has chosen to go the way of the great ones.  He has crossed the party line and sat down with Democrats to work out deals to get things moving.  He has put the American People above the party.  He has put his own party, the Republicans, on notice.  If you don't want to accomplish things for the American People, then he will go at it without them. 

He isn't using his pen to write up executive orders.  On the contrary, he is wiping out those and going the legal and proper route of pushing legislation to get things done.  If that means sitting down with the opposition and working out give and take to get the job done he is willing to do that.  Something that very few Presidents have done.

I think that people better start taking a long hard look at what is happening in Washington DC and take notice of how things are getting done.

Sanctuary Cities and States, What is the purpose?

First off lets just be very clear, I am not a lawyer, not a police office, not a politician, just an ordinary citizen.  Yes I am Republican but have also voted for Democrats.  I don't support Republicans just because they are Republican.  I actually despise quite a few of them.

I just don't understand this whole Sanctuary City and State thing.

America is a nation of laws.  Those laws are passed by the Government and we have to live by them.  We don't have to like them or agree with them.  We have the option of electing officials to change those laws if we want that.  We don't get to sit back and say and I don't like that law so we shouldn't enforce that one. 

When it comes to Immigration I completely agree that we have a major issue in this country.  There needs to be a major overhaul of it, however until that is done we can't just ignore the laws on the books. 

If you come into the country illegally then you have broken the law.  It needs to be addressed. 

What is even worse is when these Sanctuary cities allow people who have come into the Country illegally to commit a crime and still not face deportation.  Aren't we sending the wrong signal here?

I think that if these cities and states want to do this then they should also be held accountable to their actions.  They should not be allowed to ignore the Federal Laws and then still be entitled to Federal Support of any kind.  They also should be held liable for the actions of the people that they protect from the law.  If it can be shown that a person was protected by the city or state and then harms another person then the city and state should be held liable. 

Reform of the system needs to happen and you can blame both Democrats and Republicans.  Both sides are so hell bent on having it their way that they won't give and take to get things done.  We have to start electing people based on their personal feelings and beliefs and forget this whole Democrat and Republican thing.  The people we elect also need to remember that they work for us the people and not some stupid party.  Lastly we need to hold them accountable.

What the Hell is Hillary Clinton Really Thinking?

For the last several weeks I have heard over and over and over about her new book coming out about why she lost the election.  I have heard how she has blamed everyone and everything for it.

She blamed James Comey for the email scandal.  I might not be the sharpest tool in the drawer, but did James Comey, the FBI Director, create the email server for her?  Did he send classified emails to that server?  Did he order the destruction of phones used for emails on that server?  Did he have the server destroyed?

I also heard all about the Russians and their hacking of the emails of the DNC.  I suppose they are the ones who sent all those emails that were released.  They showed how her and her partners were tilting the primary in her favor.  The Russians manufactured that evidence.  Not that it was Clinton and her partners.  The Hackers only brought them to light.  Whether they were Russians or not. 

Then there was the Voter ID Laws.  Those dam laws that were put into place to make sure that only American Citizens Voted.  They kept people from voting more than once.  Those are to blame also.

I am not sure how you can say the email thing cost you and it was because of the Russians and their interest in helping Donald Trump win.  But, then forget about the tape that showed Donald Trump on the bus that was released by a major network that undoubtedly wanted Hillary Clinton to win. 

Hillary Clinton needs to take a long look at herself and the campaign she ran.  She and all the media had her winning the election big.  She didn't put on a full court press visiting every state that she needed.  Here in Wisconsin we never saw her.  Trump on the other hand was going non stop visiting every state and pushing and working for every vote.  She believed her and the media's own BS.  She took her eyes off the prize.  She quit playing in the 4th quarter. 

Hillary Clinton and the media cost her the Presidency.  I don't need to write a book to explain that.
