America’s status as an innovator fading away

As this administration strips science, education, space and medical funding, we are giving the rest of the world free range of innovation, discovery and leadership in 21st century thinking. We issued H1-B visas because we cut education funding and no longer educate scientists and engineers.

Our current posture and disdain toward Arabs due to some radical Muslims beliefs, behaviors and radical customs are in actuality being mimicked. The degradation of our women and stripping of their rights invokes visions of Saudi women’s plight.

As we deny climate change, we hand the torch to China who gets it and wants to switch from coal to solar to rid air pollution. President Trump, China loves you.
