Thank you Hollywood and Professional Athletes

I used to spend so much time watching TV and Sports.  I used to look forward to movie night.

Those were the good days of just vegging out on the couch and enjoying some mindless entertainment. 

Now my days and evenings are filled with getting out and spending time with friends, taking in the youth and HS sports around the area and I hardly ever turn on the TV for some cant miss sporting event unless its Hockey.  The one sport that really still gets it.

Listening to all of these Hollywood Movie Stars and Athletes talk to me like I am some kind of idiot because I believe differently than them.  To listen to them all get on their soap box and preach to me about how America should be.  All the while they are living in their million dollar homes, driving their fancy cars and eating at the best restaurants and hotels money can buy.

Yep when you have all that money and influence you can pretty much do what you want and America must be the way you think it should be.

But what you forget is that it is us, the ones who don't have all that stuff that you got.  By the way your welcome.  It is us the American People that you call stupid, that gave that to you.

So for me, thank you.  You saved me a lifetime of wasted time in front of the TV and watching you do that thing you do.  Youth Sports is so much more fun to watch.  No over priced whiners getting away with illegal plays because they are the Star.  Just people playing the game because they love it.  The way it should be.  No more watching a Star make a career off of movies killing people with guns and then complaining about the gun violence.  No more spending my money on a Star who thinks I am an idiot because I don't believe in the same things as they do. 

Thank you for helping me see clearer.

These are the same people that had no problem with sexually harassing people until they did.  The same people who allowed sexual predators to work along side them.

One last thing, you have the money and the means to live anywhere in the world, why if you are so unhappy here don't you exercise your right to move?

Tariffs on Allies?

Much has been made over President Trumps move to place tariffs on some of our allies.

Democrats and some Republicans like John McCain (I think he is a Democrat now) have come out strongly against the move by the President.

They all have one thing in common.  They say that you don't charge tariffs on your friends.

I guess in Washington we just love to waste money and bend over for our friends.  Maybe they really aren't our friends.  These allies that the Dems and John McCain love so much.  By their own rule of not charging tariffs on your friends.  Because every single one of them charges us tariffs!

Yes it sure looks like President Trump struck a cord with many of these so called friends by charging them a tariff.  However he also told them that he is only charging them what they charge us.  If they want to get rid of all tariffs he is 100% behind that.  But nope, they want to charge us the tariff they just are against being charged themselves.  Nice friends we got.

Listen, I agree that it is bad politics to upset your friends.  However Trump isn't a politician.  He knows a bad deal when he sees it and this is most definitely a bad deal for America.  He is only seeking to level the playing field and he also knows that in the end we are the ones that holds all the cards.  Will these tariffs hurt the economy?  To a small degree yes they will.  It will create some problems in the short term.  But in the long run, he will cripple the other Countries much much more and they will have to react.  This will benefit us tremendously for generations to come.  Trump knows that you have to call out even your friends when they are taking advantage of you. 

Democrats and John McCain just don't get it.  The American People understand people like Trump way more than they understand the Politicians.  They think more like Trump than they think like a Politician. 

Trump is getting a lot of things accomplished in Washington and the Politicians quite frankly are terrified.  Things they told the American People couldn't be done, Trump is doing.  Trump is using the American Dream playbook and getting it done.  Not the Politician playbook of promise promise promise and do nothing.
