I heard Sen. Flake's speech this morning and I was astounded, he is an old fashioned Republican, he doesn't hide behind lies which are so prevalent now days , he tells it like it is. I would rate his speech along side of
FDR's Pearl Harbor address and Lincoln's Gettysburg address. I would vote any day of the week for Sen. Flake
- and I am a Democrat. When I vote , I vote as an American, the party doesn't tell me how to vote. I believe it is idiotic for a voter - Democrat or Republican - to say , "I have to vote for him/her because they are a member of my party". Neither party has all the answers. Too many voters do not study the candidates, rather they listen to what the candidates spew when running for office. Two parties need to discuss what is necessary for the benefit of our nation and not have the attitude of "It's our way , or no way". studecar

I can't wait for it to be completely exposed.

Let's see what's up in the air.

How disturbing and contemptible these activities are.

This means a lot for the people of a country who's leader vowed to work on making America First and great again.

He owned the moment. I was so touched and I am sure most Americans have felt the same.

The monumental success he has achieved for so short a time, he is one heck of a great president. In spite of the display of contempt from his pundits, he continues to lead this nation towards greatness as promised.

In my opinion, building the wall for 10 billion is a cheap change compared to the 110 billion of supporting illegal immigrants.

The most effective change he has initiated is that the WORKING citizens are finally bringing more money in their paychecks as a result of tax changes. While I am already receiving my SS as a result of working over 35 years, I am still working for a more financially secured future. This means a lot to me.

Thank you Mr. President for encouraging on bringing back some of the outsourced jobs to this country. Imagine Chrysler to be coming back here from Mexico, that is a very positive move for our economy.

His love and respect for our aging Veterans by hiring more people that provide care they deserve is another big highlight of the speech.

Having been involved in the humanitarian field, this is the closest one to my heart. His commitment to continue on donating to the poor countries of the world. More than any leaders of any nation has done in the history of man. This to me tops all of his success in building a great nation.

Last night, while everybody was celebrating Valentine’s Day, we received the biggest Valentine’s gift we could ask for. Under immense pressure Jacob Zuma resigned as president of South Africa.

At about 10 PM former president Jacob Zuma addressed the nation, at least the part who was near TV sets, to announce his resignation. In a national television address, Zuma said he had "come to the decision to resign as president of the Republic with immediate effect".

This is rich. He decided to abdicate! He had no choice. He was facing impeachment and a forceful eviction. At least he sort of admitted to that when he said "I have only asked my party to articulate my transgressions and the reason for its immediate instruction that I vacate office." I would have expected that he would know this; the press is full of it. Oh yes, I forgot He had no formal schooling, so reading may be a bit of an obstacle.

In an earlier TV interview on the same day, he said he had received "very unfair" treatment from the party he joined in 1959 and for which he had fought for decades against apartheid. Well, at least this part was more or less true although I don't know if it was unfair

He further expressed his anger over "the manner in which the decision is being implemented... I don't agree as there is no evidence of if I have done anything wrong." Now this is priceless; no evidence. He has a dossier that will put Encyclopaedia Britannica to shame.

There are no jubilations in the streets as was the case in Zimbabwe but we are holding our breaths in quiet optimism. We are not expecting miracles overnight but rather hope that our new president will improve our image and restore some credibility overseas.

And we are speculating about the future of Jacob Zuma. Just like Mugabe, he also tried to get his wife (one of the six) in power to protect him. Will he now, at last, be held accountable for his deeds in the past? We don’t know but if the new president and The ANC won’t interfere, he is going to have big problems. Cyril Ramaphosa has no love for Jacob Zuma but we don’t know what they may be up to in order to preserve unity within the ANC.

All in all, everybody appears to be fairly happy with getting Ramaphosa as our leader and we’re all hoping that he will live up to expectations.

Right off the beginning, I would clarify this statement to be not absolutely true. It depends upon so many things and many reasons, to some that this is absolutely a baloney statement.

First off you have to live in a country that is far better than America, ie SWITZERLAND, to laugh at this slogan. You can be very lucky and live in the other countries that can absolutely ridicule this statement or the goal of the President in making it great again.

I am referring to most of us, who once felt that this country was great and that it can get back its luster again.

Note: if 69 percent or so of the world are living in poverty and way below the standards of an ordinary American citizen, I am sure you say, America was great and that it can be great again.

Another note: Why would there be no other country that consistently for the past 50 years been sought by illegal immigrants?

Anyways good morning blog land and may you all have a good day.

"It’s no secret that President Donald Trump loves dictators. Over the course of his presidency, Trump has expressed admiration for a slew of authoritarians, from Russian President Vladimir Putin to President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The latest to receive such praise is Chinese President Xi Jinping.

In closed-door remarks to Republicans on Saturday, Trump celebrated Xi for his recent consolidation of power and for getting rid of presidential term limits, according to CNN, which obtained a recording of the meeting."

The actions of the U.S. Senate are disgusting - well - let's say the actions of the Speaker are, and have been ever since the hill billy from Kentuckey was voted in. He has refused to allow Senator Warren to reread a letter from the widow of Martin L.King which was introduced a number of years ago when Senator S. Thurmond was the Speaker. He , Thurmond, refused to enter the letter into the records of the Senate which was against the rules of the Senate. Why? Because he was a radical racist from the South. Now it is the second go-'round, with Mortimor Snerd holding the reins , and for the same reason, he is a radical racist. He stated the reason Warren
was removed was because rules of the Senate state that no member may make disparaging remarks against any member of the Senate which is the, Senator, President Grump ( sorry , my spelling) wants to be the AG, a man who has been a racist all his life. Senator Sessions was guilty of offences against black voters as well as allowing beatings of people wanting to vote. Hey - I am a white person, and there is a law allowing people to vote and right is right. Sessions has no qualifications to be the AG, but the Speaker is a Trump "brown noser" (GI term) so he skirts the rules. Back recently a Senator from Texas made degrading remarks about another Senator
but Speaker McDonald ignored the remarks because the perpetrator is a member of the political party as is the Speaker. The premise of the Republicans in the Senate is, "It's our way or no way". I don't believe that was the idea of the founding fathers of our constitution. studecar

Barack Obama Deported A Record Number Of Immigrants From The U.S. More Than Any Other President

During President Barack Obama’s terms, he had a record number of people deported from the United States which was more than any other president. As of 2015, more than 2.5 million undocumented people had been deported by immigration authorities since Obama took office in 2009. This total is record-setting. Take for example, during the two terms of his predecessor, President George W. Bush, removed just over 2 million people. This is interesting news considering controversy surrounding President Donald Trump's policies.

This is sent to me by my cousin who lives in London.

I'm only sharing this video for purposes of information. As it was published in 2011, in today's situation has England got any better?

The question is, will they succeed in letting them out? I doubt it. I am aware the mayor of London, is a Muslim himself.

What a world we've created. Amidst all these troubles does it look like there's an easy way out?

It's not isolated in one place, I feel it's definitely world wide and global.
