This sounds like certain billionaire's TV show...

How can a president cut taxes and then demand $5.7 billion to build a wall that is not supported by the majority of American voters? This feels like an episode of a certain billionaire's TV show.

Lock up the "dirty trickster"!

Roger Stone has been a thorn in my side for years and years. He has done more damage to our democracy than anyone I know. It is time he is called to account for all his dirty tricks.

How our government works....

Our government was designed to have three separate but equal parts, the judicial arm, the legislative arm, and the executive arm. They are to keep each other in check so no one arm has total control, but all three have to work together. I hope we do not lose this balance of power.

Be wary....

This is not lightly given advice and it must be followed with a compassionate spirit. Otherwise, it will backfire, making the giver look the fool. Be wary.

Diversity is what will save us....

Diversity is what gives us all the ability to survive. If we were all genetically identical, we would have disappeared off the face of the earth millions of years ago. It is diversity that will save us.

A "dirty trickster" has damaged our democracy!

I must equate this concern with Roger Stone. He has used his money and his "dirty tricks" to compromise our elections and our government for 50 years. Donald Trump's connection to Roger Stone is scary.

Creating terrorists and criminals...

More children separated from their families. People, disenfranchised in their own countries, often because of interference from our very own government, are looking for a safe place for their children. And, we lock them up. This is how terrorists and criminals are created.

I cannot sit and do nothing.

I thought I would stop writing at two years. Then, I read the morning's paper and find I cannot bury my head in the sand. The steep slope our country is on with this administration cannot be ignored. We act or we pretend that there is no problem. Think of what Dr. Martin Luther King gave for our country. I cannot sit and do nothing.

There is no place in my brain that understands how people can feel justified judging and killing another person because of a personal bias. I don't care what anyone believes, bigotry is wrong.

Not sure I am going to keep writing...

Actually, I shouldn't complain. The letters were well written and supportive of: public lands, justice, equity, social security. But, there is always a tweek, something to give the powers behind the president just what they want. Not sure I am going to keep writing.

We all are immigrants...

I am disturbed that nothing is said about this defense of white nationalism. It is just another name for racism and bigotry, which has no place in this country which was founded and built by all of us whose ancestry includes immigrants.

The President should not receive a salary during the shut down.

During four weeks of government shut down, the president should not receive his $33,333 monthly salary. That is nearly 10 times $3,714 which is the median monthly salary in America.

Lies, lies, and more lies...

I believe we will return to a society where truth is valued, but I also believe this path will be arduous and possibly dangerous. Those who use misinformation for personal gain will not give up easily.

The sweet smell of freedom....

Giving up the TV sounds impossible, but it is easier than you think. Get a book, go for a walk, write a poem, draw a picture, write a letter to a friend, knit, volunteer in the schools, clean out a closet, plan a trip, go for a swim, write your memoir, or just sit and breathe in the sweet smell of freedom.

What are America's priorities?

I think we should have a vote and see how American citizens want to spend $5.7 billion. Seems like a great way to determine what America's priorities are.

None of this sounds like a good idea....

I heard interviews today with people who live along our southern border. One mayor was talking about having lost their nearest neighbors when the existing fencing separated them from their friends across the Rio Grande. Since both sides of the fence are U.S. territory, they have to negotiate the fence to reach their own property. None of this sounds like a good idea.

You sold your soul to the devil, Mr. Webster... oh I mean Mr. Trump. You sold your power and our presidency to the highest bidders. They want as much of that $5.7 billion to go into their pockets and Americans have no say in the matter.
