Trump mocks our allies in Belgium, will disgrace himself and our country in England, but will kiss Putins ring in Helsinki. However we are making America great again. Just ask any misinformed Trump supporter.

HHS Secretary Alex Azar said separating immigrant families is “one of the great acts of American generosity and charity, what we are doing for these unaccompanied kids.” I don’t think that in all of my long life that I have ever seen such blatant cruelty so blatantly exposed.

Papa John’s Chairman John Schnatter, who criticized NFL players for protesting racism, has resigned. During a call for media training to prevent further public media relations fumbles, he continued to use racial slurs. Why is this so difficult for people to understand?

In my opinion, Trump is neither reckless, naive or grossly ignorant. Trump is a willing and active ally of Putin and the Russian Mafia. He has had a relationship with them that dates back to the 80s. Some people will do anything for money, anything.

Once you accept that he isn’t on our side, everything that he does makes perfect sense.

Trump will not admit he is working for Putin or that Putin helped him get voted into office. But Putin and the Russians do. They brag about that on their state TV all the time.

The Trump administration has reunited 57 children under age 5 with their parents after a judge’s order. It has deemed another 46 children under age 5 “ineligible“ for unification. What the heck is that supposed to mean? You can’t find the children or you can’t find the parents? Heads should roll for this, like serious jail time.

Rep. Jim Jordan loves to play the dirty weasel, acting like he gets all kinds of inside information that have no basis of truth. Now when a story of his past is exposed, he is screaming like a little girl about how unfair the investigation is going. One thing about them tables, they will always turn.

I would love to see the city of Gary and the region rebound economically with jobs and I hope the best for the citizens and leadership. I hope and pray for any citizens/persons suffering anywhere in the world including illegal aliens and I hope we are all able to find solutions and better ourselves some how. Modern life is a struggle for the poor, working and middle class and it is loaded with challenges, obstacles and setbacks. Let us all pray for solutions.

Chief of Staff John Kelly was having an incredibly hard time listening to the president make a speech at the NATO breakfast. It obviously was an unplanned talk. When reporters later asked Sarah Sanders about it she said “Kelly was displeased because he was expecting a full breakfast and there were only pastries and cheese.” Kelly served his country as a Marine for 40 years and Sanders thinks nothing of demeaning and infantilizing him.

The Gary Public Schools had its first open forum. One person wanted to know where the schools were in the obligation to the community, to the real estate, to building new schools. Don’t these people understand that the state of Indiana had to pull the Gary schools out of millions of dollars of debt?

A Valparaiso Mom has been arrested after her 3 year old child was found in a pond. She didn’t call police for an hour because “she is going through a lot of stuff right now ‘ and the situation was chaotic and didn’t have time to call for police. Yes, she is really going to be going through some real stuff now.
