LET'S SHUT DOWN THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT

LET'S SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN

By: Derek Varsalona

Personally as a disabled American, I am on Medicare.  There is a government shutdown that is supposed to affect all of my programs that help support me.  While this is going on, I do not live in fear but support the government shutdown.   People ask me how I can be so cruel not only to others but also to myself.  If we shut down the government, I will still get my SSDI and SSI checks.  But I do support stopping the programs for illegal immigrants in this country that have the right to nothing since they are criminals and came in illegally.  

Let me ask you this:  If someone breaks into your house, do you feed them?  Then, if not, why does someone break into the country, and we give them all the benefits that are only meant for legal residents?

President Trump met with Congressional leaders to try to avoid a government shutdown.  I understand that no one wants to be blamed.  But the government needs to shut down so it can realign itself.  President Trump is right to try to shut down the government.  The necessary programs will continue to be operational.  I will still get my Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security checks for SSD and SSI.  What might not be open is the unnecessary government offices.  I think that border security will still be active, the military will still work, and the post office will still deliver the mail.  Remember, the government wants you to pay your taxes, so taxes are still due on April 15.  

There is a bitterness in Congress over the shutdown.  The Democrats want the Obamacare subsidies extended.  Republicans want to cut spending on social programs.  Let us work out a deal.  President Trump should give the Democrats a deal.  We will kill ObamaCare since that does not work but replace it with Medicare for All.  That will cut the spending but make Medicare solvent.  Those are my terms for keeping the government open.  As always, comments are accepted.

CHURCH HIT IN ARSON ATTACK

MULTIPLE PEOPLE SHOT IN MICHIGAN CHURCH

By: Derek Varsalona

In a sad and scary situation, multiple people were shot at a Latter-day Saints Church.  I believe this shooting occurred because the shooter thought of this group as an evil cult, which it is not.  But they do have some cultish tendencies, especially with profetisiving and trying to acquire new members to their church.

Multiple people were shot at a Latter-day Saints church in Michigan.  Also, after the shooting, a fire was started at the same church.  This was definitely planned, not a coincidence.  

I feel ashamed that President Trump did not speak out about the church shooting after it occurred.  I am not sure if he was ever briefed, which is appalling. AS the leader of the free world and the leader of the country, he needs to say something about the shooting.  However, do not expect him to discuss gun control.  

The fact that these shootings occur is due to gun control laws.  The fact is the law takes guns away from law-abiding citizens and leaves them in the hands of the criminals.  More Gun Control is not going to solve the church shooting or other shootings.  But more gun control just might increase more shootings and school shootings, since we all should know that criminals do not follow gun control laws.  As always, comments are accepted.

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS RIGHT TO SEND NATIONAL GUARD TO PORTLAND

TRUMP TAKES OVER PORTLAND

By: Derek Varsalona

One of the cornerstones of the Libertarian philosophy is not using force to achieve political ends.  No one ever considered President Trump to be a Libertarian.  President Trump is using the National Guard to quash the revolts that the citizens are having in Portland, Oregon.  But what is a man to do, let the city run rampant and filled with chaos?

Fine, let us have it the Libertarian way and pull the National Guard. I agree with that.  WE should not use force when necessary.  But when the shit hits the fan, there is going to be bloodshed in the streets. 

The reason President Trump is sending in the National Guard is that these mayors can't control their own cities.  The rioters are outnumbering law enforcement.  

Replacing police officers with social workers is not going to help either.  These agitators are not looking to speak to a social worker.  They are looking to cause havoc.  As for Trump, he should listen to the citizens.  Pull the National Guard, and have the Mayors play.  When things get out of control, the people of Portland and the Mayor of Portland, Keith Wilson, are going to wish the National Guard were in Portland.  Well played, President Trump. Well played.

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SMART TO INVEST IN TIKTOK

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SMART TO INVEST IN TIKTOK

By: Derek Varsalona

The Liberal media claimed that President Trump's deal to secure TikTok is a shakedown deal to secure investors.  But it turns out that President Trump is the smartest man in the room.  President Trump is a businessman, and I am glad a businessman is running the country.  This is not a shake-down deal, as the liberal media expects people to believe.  This is a solid investment in the United States.

President Trump is lining up investors to take over TikTok.  This is not a shakedown as the Liberal media wants people to believe.  It is a smart business deal conducted by President Trump.  President Trump is looking for partners to buy TikTok in the billions.  

This is smart since now President Trump can spy on China as China has been spying with TikTok on America.  But who cares? People love TikTok.  What concerns me is that some TikTok users testified that they would be in the hospital if Congress banned TikTok.  That seems extreme and shows that people need to get fresh air outside more and breathe fresh air instead of being locked at home in front of their computers.  I applaud President Trump for making this smart move. AS always, comments are accepted.

TRUMP TO BLOCK FOREGIN WORKERS FROM WORKING

TRUMP TO BLOCK FOREIGN WORKERS

By: Derek Varsalona

I applaud President Trump for wanting to keep foreign skilled and unskilled labor from entering America.  This is about national security.  Besides, many disabled people who are American-born need those jobs and will gladly take them instead of surviving on government handouts.

President Trump is right to restrict foreign workers from entering America.  If a foreign worker can come into this nation then so can a terrorist.  Some might question who will do the menial jobs, such as cleaning bathrooms and laundry.  Those jobs can be done by people with special needs who are Americans.  Those people require their first job to work on their resume, and it is a great opportunity.  Restricting foreign workers reduces Americans' problems at home.  It takes money and burden off of social services and other services that immigrants ask for help.

Listen I have no problem with legal foreign workers.  I have a problem with illegal foreign workers.  If an Illegal can come into this nation, then so can a terrorist.  That is where I draw the line.

Many of the jobs that are given to foreign workers can be done by students with disabilities who are American workers.  Being that these disabled workers are paid less because of the influx is running rampant in this country is discrimination against these disabled workers.  As always, comments are accepted.

TYPHOON HITS CHINA. THIS IS PAYBACK FOR CORONA VIRUS

TYPHOON HITS CHINA

By: Derek Varsalona

A Typhoon hit China early Wednesday morning.  Ask me if I care?  I do not care one bit.  I am happy that this is the punishment that they get for giving the world the coronavirus.  Maybe some people will be crying the blues, but I am shouting for joy. They may learn not to send a virus into the world as an act of bioterrorism.

The Typhoon hit at 9:00am local Time in China.  People ran for cover.  Although I am glad they received the Typhoon as punishment for the coronavirus, I will still pray for their safety.  As always, comments accepted.

DOES TYLENOL CAUSE AUTISM, TRUMPS THINKS SO

HAS PRESIDENT TRUMP FOUND THE LINK TO AUTISM?

By: Derek Varsalona

Well, I am going to throw this under the crazy category in my filing cabinet.  President Trump has claimed that he has found the link to autism.  Wait for it... he claims the link is pregnant women taking Tylenol.

President Trump linked Tylenol to causing autism with no further explanation on the matter.  I think this is crazy.  If you are going to make a rash statement that is going to ruin the lives of so many people, not only the mother, father, and the child with autism, but also the workers who manufacture Tylenol, you'd better give me some facts as to why you think this is the case.

Until I have more evidence and scientific proof that Tyneol is the cause of Autism, you'd better represent some facts to support your thesis.  Until then, I am placing this under the 'crazy but possibly true' conspiracy file.  AS always, comments accepted.

TRUMP GOES AFTER OPPONETS ILLEGALLY

TRUMP GOES AFTER OPPONENTS ILLEGALLY

By: Derek Varsalona

I do not have a problem with going after opponents of your political beliefs.  That is politics in a nutshell.  But there is a wrong way and a right way to do that.  The right way to do that is to have a fierce and vigorous debate on the issues.  The wrong way to do that is to lock up people you disagree with for their political ideology.

President Trump is going about this the wrong way. President Trump has ordered his Justice Department and AG Pam Bondi to go after political opponents and Attorney General Letitia James of New York state.  President Trump fumed when he learned there was little to no evidence that AG James had done anything wrong.  The prosecutor for President Trump was later fired.

The fact is that in a Republic or Democracy, we love fierce debate.  But that fierce debate needs to happen without fear of being taken in by authorities for your viewpoints that go against the ruling class.  With the arrest of political opponents, President Trump is doing nothing different than what they do in dictatorships of third-world countries.  As always, comments are accepted.
