US ENVOYS TO FAIL IN TALKS WITH PUTIN

 THERE IS NO TALKING WITH PUTIN

By: Derek Varsalona

US envoys Kushner and Whitkoff are supposed to meet with Dictator Vladimir Putin today.  That is a big mistake and probably one of the biggest mistakes that the Trump Administration has ever made.

You do not talk with a madman.  Those people need to be institutionalized.  Putin is a madman who is bent on power.  The only reason America wants to talk with Putin is to gain access to their oil reserves.  There is no chance of actually ending the war, just under one condition.  I hate to say it since I  respect all life from conception to natural death.  But if we do not take Putin out with a bullet to the head, then more lives will be destroyed by Putin.  There is no use in talking to a madman, which is what Putin is, whose only goal is to remake the USSR.  As always, comments accepted.

PRESIDENT TRUM P IS RIGHT TO RESTRICT MAIL IN VOTING

TRUMP WANTS MAIL-IN VOTING RESTRICTIONS

By: Derek Varsalona

President Trump has asked the Supreme Court to move in and restrict freedom of speech by moving in and restricting mail-in voting.  This is a move as an American that I support.  The way the restriction would work, from my understanding, is that if they are overdue, then they are not counted.  That is the way it should be.  Look, in college,e if you do not hand a paper in on time, you either get grades dropped or outright fail the class.  It is your responsibility to vote on time.

Voting restrictions are necessary to keep a stable Republic.  For that matter, let us have all voter ID laws to prevent cheating on the system.  As always, comments accepted.

PAMELA CISNEROS A WOMAN WITH MENTAL ILLNESS DIES UNJUSTLY

 POLICE WERE WRONG TO SHOOT PAMELA CISNERO

By: Derek Varsalona

As a person with a mental disability of short-term memory loss, I understand the stress that people face with mental challenges. This week on Labor Day, a woman named Pamela Cisneros was fatally shot by police after wielding a knife in a Times Square stabbing rampage.

I understand that the police have a very hard job and need to make a split-second decision to protect the public. I do not think this person should have been shot to death by the police, but I am not blaming them for making a split-second decision to save the lives of people in New York City. Yes, there needs to be a quick and speedy trial on the matter, and yes, this is a criminal offense by the police officer who shot Pamela.

The fact of the matter is that we do not do enough to help people with mental illnesses and/or mental challenges within the system. Yes, for justice, this police officer who perpetrated the crime needs to be brought up on charges, arrested for murder, and a public trial must be shown on TV and throughout the media. As always, comments accepted.

PRESIDENT TRUMP MUST HELP FLOOD VICTIMS IN CHINA AND NEPAL

MASSIVE FLOOD IN NEPAL AND CHINA

By:     Derek Varsalona

My heart breaks as I hear the news this morning of the massive flood in China and Nepal this morning.  I know that some people are going to say that this is what China obtains due to giving the world the Corona Virus.  I can understand that sentiment, but can people be that heartless?  My heart breaks for the people of China, even if they did create bioterrorism against the rest of the world.

Due to the flood disaster, there are at least 987 deaths thus far and 3, 916 people missing in total.  President Trump and the Americans should offer any assistance that they can in the meantime.  I would prefer that America goes second in this situation, as it is the United Nations as a world organization that should take the lead.  I honestly believe that the United Nations does not take the lead in many cases due to the fact that America, the world's richest country, takes the lead in most circumstances when it comes to giving foreign aid.  As always, comments accepted.

PRESIDENT TRUMP SEIZES VENEZUELA OIL

  PRESIDENT TRUMPS TAKES OVER VENEZUELA OIL

By: Derek Varsalona

During the Iraq War under President George W. Bush, the Democrats loved to say no blood for oil.   Okay, your terms are accepted.  Today, President Trump signed the biggest deal in history, signing a deal with Venezuela to take over their oil supplies at a tune of 65 billion barrels.  That is going to run figures much larger than 65 billion dollars in revenue.

I am proud of President Trump.  He was right to take over the oil supplies of Venezuela.  Now, we just need to take over the drug supply market and take control of the drugs and legalize all drugs.  I honestly believe that legalizing all drugs will help people get into recovery better since they are ot afraid  of eing turned over to the cops.

Look for the stock market to take a big uptick.  This is a great deal for America, and it proves that the country works better when you have a President in office that is a businessman and not a career politician.  As always, comments accepted.

OIL PRICES ARE FALLING DUE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP

OIL PRICES FALL 

By: Derek Varsalona

President Trump is the great negotiator in chief.  Today, oil prices fell to between $80.20 dollars a gallon and $86.38 dollars a gallon.  That is due to the fact that President Trump is a great commander in chief, and as a businessman,n he knows how to get things done.  But the Arabs of the world are not going to be happy that they're losing money in the long run.  So I predict there is going to be another terrorist attack on American interests, st possibly on September 11 or sooner.  

President Trump's talks with peace negotiators are credited with the effort.  It seems to me that a businessman is getting a lot more done in the world than a politician.  The fact of the matter is the mainstream politicians are afraid of President Trump since he is succeeding where politicians fail.  He is beating them at their own game.  If an outsider can be successful, it puts all the politicians in jeopardy.

In actuality, we have to give credit to the fact that Oman has been a major player in the negotiations.  Let us not forget that the biggest state sponsor of terror,ror Iran r, has also helped out in the effort.  Now, as far as the Middle East is concerned, ast wanting their oil prices down, the only reason I can think of is that a long, drawn-out war is bad for business and public relations.  As always, comments are accepted.

PRESIDENT TRUMP MUST WIN HIS TRADE WAR WITH CANADA

  TRUMP MUST WIN HIS TRADE WAR

By: Derek Varsalona

Not many people in America have the appetite for a trade war with their neighbor to the North in Canada.     That is why there is only one President, and President Trump is a great Commander in Chief.  The fact of the matter is America has been getting taken advantage of for too long.  The world and Canda has been acting like an abusive parent.  Now it is time for the United States to act like child protective services and clean house.

President Trump is going to destroy relations with Canada, and that is alright.  Maybe making Canada the 51st state does seem enticing.  Now, the only thing left is for Long Island to secede from New York and become its own state.  Like Canada, New York has been taking advantage of Long Islanders for years.  Long Island pays the most taxes and gets hardly anything but a hard time in return.

As for Canada, I say let the tariffs ring.  President Trump is right to start the trade war with Canada.  It is a war we can and must win.  Thank God for President Trump.  As always, comments accepted.
