Free speech and free press...

Freedom of speech is a hallmark of our country and freedom of the press is a standard that gives us faith in the news we hear. That faith has been compromised by by the likes of FOX News and the "fake news" that abounds on the internet. Mistrust of what we read is creating a deep divide between our citizens. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press must be defended to bring healing to our country.

The taming of Trump...

I wish John Kelly well on his task of taming the Trump administration. From the top down, our government needs to exercise respect and restraint. Good luck Mr. Kelly.

Thanks to those who serve...

I agree. Get educated and do what is right. People who enlist, are trained, and do their jobs should not be discriminated against. We need to thank them, not throw them out.

It seems so easy...

It seems so easy. If we all make a few simple choices, we can change the world in spite of those who just want to make money for themselves.

Where is our leadership?

Cheers to these progressive countries that have their sights on doing what is best for our planet. America, that has been so proud of being a leader of the world, will lag behind in protecting our planet. I cannot believe this will be our future.

With liberty and justice for all... or not?

We need to ask ourselves what "...with liberty and justice for all" really means. Does it mean that we follow the laws of the United States of American and the Geneva Convention? Or, does it mean that we can pretend to follow those standards while we ignore them in places like Guantanamo Bay? How can I trust that liberty and justice applies to me if it does not apply to everyone?

Discretion....

Discretion, being the better part of valor, should always be used before one opens one's mouth. That is especially true if one is the President or someone on the President's communication staff. It is excruciating to have to watch this low drama playing out in our government. I used to tell my children, "Don't do it if you don't want "it" to show up on the front page of the newspaper." Not a bad rule to follow.
