Does someone need a chill pill?

For the last several days, New York Senator Charles (Chuck) Schumer (D) has been freaking out over President Trump’s most recent executive order. Said temporary order bans incoming immigrants from seven primarily Muslim hot-spot nations for a mere 90 days. The decisive action was undertaken out of concern for the safety of the American people and amounts to but a minor inconvenience, a slowdown of those non-citizens desiring to enter the USA. Implemented out of necessity, the ban is purposed to now allow the U.S. adequate opportunity to employ extreme vetting, again, for security’s sake, as the last administration’s process proved lacking.

Schumer’s meltdown had him describing tears flowing down the cheeks from a very renowned inanimate object, the Statue of Liberty on New York’s Liberty Island. To date, however, it remains unsure whether paranormal authorities have verified the veracity of his sighting. And now, in concert with the lady’s, he’s weeping his own way into your heart. Serving as minority party leader of the U.S. Senate, Schumer’s bizarre comprehension of facts with exaggerated animation has ignited liberal media and select other democrat politicos, while of necessity provoking conveniently available leftist malcontents together with those of simply good will.

Among those angrily bewailing Trump’s orders are the same old sad sack “rent a demonstrators.” Such are those reportedly employed by one Mr. Soros, the same source said to be responsible for myriad uncivil destructive and physically assaulting acts occurring all too often since the election of America’s 45th president. Likely under orders to stand down, law enforcement appears to have grown slack in cracking down on acts of purposed uncivil behavior. Thus, to clip the wings of the hired faithful, it’s time the IRS steps in to investigate the matter of unreported payroll deductions. You can bet the farm no federal taxes, no state taxes and no Social Security funds are being paid either by employer or employees. And while everyone else pays their legal fair share of taxes, like it or no, what permits a purposed scofflaw the right to retain all of their wages with no such earnings to be reported on their end of year filing documents. In days past, the IRS took down a much smarter, highly influential and larger-than-life Al Capone for income tax evasion. Regardless of one’s stature, tax law demands equal application today.

Hyper leftists, Hollywood elitists and liberal media should know their common closing of ranks with repeated taunts of racism here, there and now inherent via this executive order is just not valid nor shared by the majority of this nation. The same piercing eyes of the Statue of Liberty is envisioned by innumerable others as exclaiming a simple yet effective warning — “Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” The minor inconvenience of this president’s executive order in no way diminishes the great lady’s historical stance as she still requests to receive the down and outers of the world. Thankfully, however, she now further serves to warn a once God-fearing, Christ honoring, Constitution abiding nation to think. In so doing, via extreme vetting, Homeland Security, and others, can better eliminate those attempting entrance here whose hearts are dark with malevolence and hate towards Americans. By God’s grace, hopefully, destruction, mayhem and startling untimely death to innocents can be averted. President Trump is to be commended for his efforts by all concerned citizens. Meanwhile, senator, buck-up, dole out taxpayer funded chill pills to the frenzied and quit the tears. Chester M. Seaborn Jr., Mechanicsville
