Watching the Trump rally in Tampa was pretty disgusting. So many uneducated and uninformed Americans dwelling in the sewer for a man that wouldn’t even look their way if he didn’t need their vote. He probably laughs hysterically at all of them.
Gov. Holcomb has recommended that Indiana enact a hate crimes law after some Nazi vandalism at an Indianapolis synagogue. The question should be why is Indiana one of just five states nationwide without a law on the books? The Republican controlled legislature has repeatedly considered and scuttled proposals for hate crimes. Why?
When will anger issues officially be considered a mental health problem? Why are we having such a huge upswing with people not being able to control their anger? Has the put-on reality-TV craze normalized this insanity?
The people criticizing Trump for bailing out farmers from the effects of tariffs are wrong. Other nations use subsidies in their production. So why criticize Trump? He is doing what the others do.
Jeff Sessions is not very smart. His new task force is a cynical and cruel attempt to enable discrimination against LGBTQ people. He wants to control the bedrooms and bodies of other people and it’s quite the opposite of freedom and faith.
ESPN broadcaster Alex Rodriguez suggested that having Cubs pitcher Yu Darvish rehabbing in the clubhouse was causing a negative influence for his teammates. That’s pretty rich coming from a player that was suspended for the entire 2014 season for using performance-enhancing drugs. I bet that caused quite a stir in that clubhouse.
I am all for all political sides being represented in a fair, intelligent manner. I am against this idea of pushing lies, unproven narratives, and conspiracy theories to win an argument. If you need to resort to those tactics, you have no valid agenda.
I often wonder if President Trump had beaten somebody besides Hillary Clinton, would we still have all of these witch hunts? Just think of all of the creativity and accomplishments this nation has lost seen in this past year and a half if we were not dragged down by all of the obstructionist movements. We just lost out on another Reagan era.
First —- No collusion. Second — Collusion is not a crime. Third — We had to collude to keep Hillary from becoming president. Mark my words, this is where their argument is going. It’s OK to break the law as long as the end result delivers your candidate a win.
The gist of the new Religious Liberty Task plan is simple. If I discriminate against or criticize you, it’s called “Religious Freedom.” If you return the favor, it’s called “persecution.”
I would like to take this opportunity to thank every member of the news media for the incredible job that they do, every single day. Keeping citizens informed through critical reporting is essential to a healthy democracy. And in these difficult times, when so many try to demean you in order to cover up their corruption, you just keep going. Thank you!
