Based on President Donald Trump’s comments, I would appreciate his supporters explaining to me that if 80 percent of border crossings have been stopped, why do we need to spend U.S. money on a wall rather than helping disaster victims? I have been at border areas, and I can tell you first hand that people and drugs just don’t just come into this country illegally and walls no matter how high, won’t deter them. They come in by boat, plane, tunnels, trucks and even sewer systems. If drugs are still pouring in, as he says, why not take some of the forces deporting people and concentrate on drug cartel operations instead? Conflicting statements are just more rhetoric from him. I have not seen anything about big drug busts like we did before. Have you?

The liberal mainstream media was criticizing first lady Melania Trump for wearing heels on way to Texas. What if conservatives complained about former first lady Michelle Obama? You would never here the end of it.
The great thing about President Donald Trump’s victory is that you get a clear view of what is inside the heads of these so called celebrities. Surprisingly, there is very little of substance.

How many tickets does a police officer write in a month? People are driving like they’re in video games. Multiple crashes are an every day occurrence, and seeing foreheads through the windshields of oncoming cars is more common than eyeballs. Still, seeing anyone pulled over for these offenses is almost nonexistent. Bigger problems might be averted if so many seemingly minor things were tackled.
