The United States has to change its priorities

A lot of people don’t like President Trump and what he is doing. A lot of people being out of work and having to depend on government for their subsistence is the way to live. Read up on the Cloward and Piven strategy. It is perfectly fine for what businesses we have left to be moving out of the country leaving thousands of people out of work. We absolutely should not disturb any endangered species of some bug or something, to extract any of our vast stores of fossil fuels to use to help keep us warm in winter. Better that we depend on foreign energy and pay an outrageous amount for it instead of tapping into our own sources. Instead, we’ll all scream “climate change” and try to come up with an alternative source of “clean energy.” It all looks good on paper and in theory however, in reality if one lives in a part of the world where the sun doesn’t shine very much for long periods of time (if we use solar energy) or the wind doesn’t always blow (if we use wind energy) what do we do in the meantime for electricity? How exactly will that work?

As for the moratorium on immigration, why not let everyone in and give them everything this country has to offer, until we run out of any resources? It is also perfectly fine to invite terrorists, drug lords, rapists, murderers, etc. into our country. Not to say that we don’t have our own people who do those heinous crimes, but let’s increase it. Let’s give them all our social security which American people have worked for and hoped to have upon retirement. We have to take care of all the “undocumented immi- grants” first -- never mind the American people, the handicapped and the veterans who helped to keep this country free.
