…”one had to concern oneself with the rational, not the insane-that one had to seek that which was right, because the right answer always won-that the senseless, the wrong, the monstrously unjust could not work, could not succeed, could do nothing but defeat itself.” Ayn Rand

Opposition Research

So, the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary campaign hired and paid millions to a former British spy to dig for dirt on the Trump campaign from the Russians and God knows who else, and that is OK with all the liberals. President Trump merely answers a question about the possibility that he MIGHT accept opposition research on a political opponent and that he MIGHT notify the FBI after seeing the information and the left is trying to crucify him. Such bullshit.

Mexico Agrees to Monitor Southern Border

Another unspoken victory for President Trump…the Mexican government has agreed to send troops to the southern border of Mexico, among other things, to stem the flow of illegals into the USA. Naturally, the swamp creatures are saying these things had been agreed to in the past, the White House denies that, even so, if these agreements had been made previously, no one did anything about it…until our President Trump.

I will track these campaign promises and will check them off as each is accomplished adding those I have missed as they become apparent. This is quite an agenda and will be difficult to achieve all in one term, but I believe the American people are behind him and know these things need to be done. Now, if he can get our legislators to support him instead of fighting him….

TEDDY ROOSEVELT ON IMMIGRANTS IN AMERICA…1907

In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag…We have room for but one language here and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”</blockquote
