I have said this before… why does the US have to take on any more people! Read the other blogs I have written on this subject. I have stated facts that shows we can’t afford it, economicallynor monetarily!

It is we, the shrinking (working poor) middle class, that has to foot this bill. But if we say no to immigrants from wherever, we are labeled bigots and racists.

But I ask you…if you were to lose your job tomorrow and eventually lose your home… who or what agency is going to offer you a home, feed and cloth you and your family? No one, they will push forms in your face make you stand in line and hope you are eligible for programs that they give away to illegal aliens. Yes I said it “illegal”! And then you end up with the thousands of homeless UNITED STATES CITZENS!

The United Nations and countries who can afford to, should be assisting all people who are oppressed and seeking a better life by  making “THEIR” countries THEIR neighborhoods better places to work and live!

Bottom line is: we just can’t take on any more people.

America pay attention to what is happening. Lawyer client privilege is dying right before our eyes! You may be next because once this  situation is allowed to continue a legal precedent will be created. That means a conversation or services between you and your lawyer , you and your accountant even you and your doctor may no longer be private!

With all the important things going on in the world why is the media and our so-called justice system listening to the stories of a known porn star. A grown woman who claims to have had a consensual one night stand with a married man! And I say man because he was ( and still is) just that  a man without a title nor thinking of obtaining on at the time this supposedly occurred! This classifies her as what? I will let you decide! But to add insult to injury a judge signs a warrant to raid a lawyers office to grab boxes of documents! For what end? Why? The only person who should be concerned is the man’s wife!

Oh and one more tidbit… the judge presiding over this mess with Cohen is Kimba Wood who just happened to had been on Bill Clinton’s list to be Attorney General! The SWAMP is wider, deeper and smelling more foul by the day. And they are going to take down everyone in their path to discredit and defame them to the American people. Case in point Sean Hannity from Fox News who has been instrumental in getting the facts out that the fake media won’t!!!!

I Had been watching the Senate hearings. Mr  Zuckerberg is a very articulate young man. His speech was straight to the point. I felt bad for him. Whether he knew or actively participated in the situation is not for us to decide however:

This world of technology has grown by leaps and bounds. From a Motorola StarTac flip phone to todays’s iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. Add that with social media and search engines, how could one even for a moment think they have any kind of privacy???? Have we learned nothing from the massive security breaches that as fast as these platforms have grown for our entertainment, productivity and in general the greater good, so have those that want to attack, abuse, enfluence and steal.

I do not see FaceBook as the enemy. They like so many other banks, department stores and restaurants did not keep up with the changes and threats to protect themselves and we the end users.

So I hope the outcome is not to crucify Mark or FaceBook but to find solutions to a never ending problem for all platforms.

On the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s great speech and ultimate demise, Black Americans need to wake up to what is taking place. You have been forgotten and cast aside by the Left for the newer and bigger voting pool…. Illegal Immigrants!  The caring and concern for the Black Race that has been in the struggle for humanitarian and economic equality since the dawn of America no longer matters. The areas like Newark  & Camden, NJ or Detroit, Mi, Baltimore Md or Washington DC  and other communities are still in need of saving but and are being ignored. Educational programs and a PATH  to good jobs whether it be in manufacturing, agricultural or corporate and anything in between, is the only salvation for these and so many more cities and towns. Don’t let the fake media lull you into a fight that isn’t yours!

The question has to asked – is the US saturated? It shouldn’t be about immigration or DACA or what country we like or talents a potential immigrant should possess. It should be…..are we taking care of who we already have????

The population in the US has steadily increased.  As of July 2010 the population was counted at 309.34 million, July 2017 325.72 and as of January 2018 326.97.  Now look at our most congested states:

Ca  39,536,653 – NJ 9,005,644 – NY 19,849,399 – Pa 12,805,537  Tx 28,304,596 with Ca and NY constantly in the news concerning their already out of control and growing homeless problem and budget issues. NJ in the news as the most taxed state and almost impossible cost of living.

We the middle class, thru ever increasing taxation and high cost of living,  have been and continue to subsidize American citizens. Why is it necessary to subsidize illegal YES illegal immigrants.

But the real issue is when do we say STOP! The President and Congress may have to create a formula to fairly determine when we can take on more immigration based on percentages of homelessness, poverty, unemployment of  the total population and adding in potential citizen birth rate.

Our children born of legal American citizens have to have the opportunity for a home, food and medicine a good education. At 15 or 16 years old to work thru high school or college, the ability to take a entry level minimum wage job. And any adult be able to choose a job or a career or a second job to supplement their income. There are Americans that want to work, who do take jobs such as dishwashers, painters, maids or whatever if they are given the opportunity. These jobs are not offered to American citizens when it is cheaper to hire “undocumented” people who will not question a wage (under the table in most cases) and neither the employer nor the undocumented employee are paying their fair share of taxes. But the undocumented employees and their families enjoy the benefits of programs created for the assistance of American citizens.

Daily we read about resources such as oil and natural gas in some places in limited supply. Open space dwindling to accommodate housing for the ever increasing need.

It is not racism- it isn’t a particular country or countries. We need to stop and fix America for Americans.  Pick a percentage – let’s say when 95% of the population’s needs are met then we can allow others to come in. Whatever the immigration number  chosen, it can and should be a mix of immigrants with skills or talent recruited by employers or schools and those seeking asylum. This is fair and equitable.

Oh and build the damn WALL.  A Nation with out defined borders will cease to be a defined Nation!

I forgot to program my DVR to record the Grammies, so I rushed home to just be disappointed. I was looking forward to an evening of fashion and music. Instead what I got was grandstanding and more political rhetoric! Is there some place in the sports and entertainment world where one can escape the daily barrage of nonsense!!! Please I am weary of the words “Dreamers”, ” Immigrant”, social injustice and Trump bashing on all levels.

Can we please go back to being able to enjoy a game or an awards show for the sheer  entertainment value and not a public announcement? Get on your soapboxes on your own time!

The rule of law is under attack! Not DACA not immigration!  Everyone PLEASE know the facts! This isn’t about the US Military either. It is about Congress being unified and do their duty to the American People.

The Bill approved by the House had what Dems and Reps wanted! CHIP and an important increased Military budget!

The Senate under the new mandate of filibuster needs 60 votes which means 10 Dems need to vote yes. Well they didn’t!

Schumer was invited to the WH to try and resolve the shutdown. He did not go in with good intentions but rather to invoke more non essential items to the bill!

DACA does not run out until March. Congress has more than enough time to hash that out. DACA was illegally done by the Obama administration. Trump is merely stating rule of law needs to be maintained and that is done thru Congress not the Executive Branch of the law!

This whole nightmare can be easily remedied if the Senate Dems would aide in passing the bill to get the Gov’t running . To get our Military up to the level to meet and or defeat if necessary the increasing strength of China, Russia and any other threat that presents itself.

Call your Senators, flood their phones to get the bill, a bill passes to reopen the government and stop this nonsense!

Scumer

The rise in political correctness when it comes to immigration is boarding on ridiculous!

To Save America and make America Great Again we need to close our doors and borders and take a breath and regroup. Why you ask?

let’s look at the numbers: Homelessness just in NY – Nov 2017 – total 62,963 of which 15,600 are families and 23,700 children, As per the Coalition for the Homeless.

Unemployment based on BLS Nov 2017 national average 4.1

California – 4.6 ranked 35th tied with Pennsylvania – NY 4.7 ranked 39th –

NJ 5.1 ranked 47th – DC 6.4 ranked 50th

Until we can get these numbers down and more Americans housed, clothed, fed and working, we can not and should not allow more people in! While it is sad that conditions may be bad where ever they may be, it is immoral to immediately give them homes, clothing and assistance ahead of our own citizens. Ask a homeless child if anyone gave their parents an apartment? I read in NJ How a middle eastern refugee family was given an apartment, clothing and food allowance and their children enrolled in school while neither adult could even speak English! And the father could not get a job because he could not speak English!

I believe most people would rather stay in their own country and get aide to rebuild their own communities! That is what the UN Council should be striving for! That is how the world can help their cause!

As far as jobs, we have enough untapped talent right here, if we would just place our priorities on education then we would not have to look for talent from Asia and other areas. Our young and middle age adults and even senior workers no matter race or ethnicity whether urban, suburban or rural, are intelligent and talented and can take on the challenges of the new technology with training. Our youth  just need someone to lead and inspire and open the doors of opportunity for them!

Until we can solve our own issues the answer must be ‘sorry not now’!

it is almost a year of Pres Trump’s administration and we still see the anti-Trump rhetoric by the media, Democrats and the Left. But I have a question for people of color …. What has past administrations done for you including the Obama administration? Did you get a tax break, more jobs in the most needed areas. Take Detroit the so called bailout did not address the need for alternative job creation as the Big Three moved plants to other areas.

We as Americans watched this demise along with the farming industry fade. Two areas the helped people of color succeed. Once industry and a true ability to earn a decent wage left a void was created. And what filled the void was gangs and violence.

Trump promised to bring back jobs and tax breaks  he has made good on these promises. This is not a perfect world and you can’t please ALL of the people All of the Time!  Tax breaks for industry is a must to get companies to come back to the US and those companies in the US to grow and create more jobs! Those incentives go a long way for the betterment of the working class. And yes the tax breaks for citizens may not be massive but something is better than nothing! One anti-Trump comment was some people would only see $38 dollars a week or $152 a month and trust me that is significant for someone who needs to eat!

This Country was built on industry thru blue collar workers, that needs to return! Most people want to work and feel successful not sit home and wait on subsidies or work multiple part time jobs to try to make one full time salary. Oh and the answer to that is not by  raising the minimum wage. Those jobs were for students, Seniors and those wanting part time jobs to Supplement their full time incomes.  Part time jobs were Never meant to raise a family , but the Left not having an answer to true job creation dangled that carrot and the poorer communities took the bait.

In closing we all need to work with the President. Whether you voted for him or not HE IS THE PRESIDENT and deserves the respect others before him have received. Work with him, hold him to his word and agenda and maybe just maybe we can all Win!

America just hit an all time low. When the NFL backs disrespect then what is next! Young Black youth aspire to be what these players are. To show them disrespect and lack of pride in THEIR Country is a sin! Play the game keep politics off the field. Make your voice heard in the communities that need it!

Black Americans remember history but within that history EEO was created along with many programs created just for the betterment of the Black Community. Created by a mostly White Government!

But look at the root cause  of the issues today, manufacturing and agricultural jobs disappeared, in the void came gangs, drug trafficking, single parent homes (predominantly women)! Single parents having to work long hours or multiple jobs to keep afloat and thru no fault of their own, the time or energy to parent effectively.

The police shootings are an issue but not a national epidemic! Out of millions of police citizen interactions focusing on just the questionable or bad can’t be good for us as a Nation to heal. This is NOT the Fault of All Americans! So don’t punish all of us. Respect us the fans, respect the flag that represents the Country that gives you the opportunity to Play a Sport and become in a lot of cases millionaires that does not reflect the multitudes you claim to be protesting for! Put your money where your mouth/knee is!
