As I stated yesterday I do get a lot of comments to my post. Most of them are on Facebook.  I am going to continue with the reply I got from Rhonda of Indiana. All these criticize what Biden has done in the short time he has been in office.

She next stated “Stopped the travel ban from countries that supported terrorism”.  Of the seven counties that Trump banded not a single one had a citizen that participated in the 9/11 attacks. Of the 19 men that participated 15 were from Saudi Arabia, 2 from the United Arab Emirates, 1 from Lebanon, and 1 from Egypt. I will ask, has his list really made us safer or, is it a list that’s only meaning was to appease all the Islamic Phobia that was running around at the time? I want real security and the only way to get that is to let the C. I. A, the F. B. I., and all those other agencies whose job it is to keep us safe do their job and believe them over the likes of Putin.

Next she said “Hide illegal alien crimes from public scrutiny”. Now I googled that statement and I do not see a real news site say that though there are some off the wall sites that do. Now, Biden has halted a lot of the deportation that was occurring under the past administration but that is not hiding crimes from public scrutiny. I am sure if an illegal alien robs a bank in Indiana Biden’s team does not come in and scoop them away. Yes we need immigration reform. Bush failed, Obama failed and Trump failed. We need reform to come from Congress that is fair and not bigoted.

Next she said “Gave Bureaucrats in the Executive Branch the right to install or reinstall regulations without scrutiny or regards how it affect business”. Well, Trump kind of did the same thing but most of his was he didn’t care what is done to the environment. If you were not upset with Trump’s use of the pen you should not be upset with Biden’s. As they say, “what is good for the goose is good for the gander”. I would prefer that Congress take a more active role in protecting our environment and as I have stated there is money to be made in Green Technology and our future jobs  are in Green Technology.

Next is “included Illegal aliens in the census”. Now I will admit I don’t know about that one and I would not be surprised if a lot of illegal aliens want to advertise that they are here. Now of course I googled it and saw that there were a lot of good points on both sides of the issue. One point I agree with is when it comes to representation in our Government they should not count. I do think this one is best left up to the courts.

The next one was “Halted drilling in Anwar”. Yes he put a moratorium on the future drilling because it bypassed the environmental review. Now I do tend to believe that we need to protect our environment so there is a fine line between jobs and the environment. More study and negotiation has to happen on this one. If you have ever been to Montana look at the mess Anaconda Copper left behind you would be appalled.

Next she states “support trans rights over rights of girls to compete with biological girls, or share showers with only girls”. Here again I don’t know much about the issue so I googled it and came up with an interesting article form Newsweek.Here again this one will be solved by the courts.

The next one was” reversed rules to bring down the cost of epipens and insulin”. Now I had not heard this so what do I do? I Google is of course.  The jury is still out on this one. We will see what Biden does with drug prices as he get farther along but it looks like nothing that Biden has done has affected prices. It also looks like nothing that Trump did affected the prices either.

Lastly was” Funds global abortions”. I googled this one also. This is an interesting read about what happens when the other party takes power. I would encourage all pro life and pro choice to read to get a better handle on the issue. Now it is funny that she ended her list with abortion. Now I will say that I am pro choice. Not that I believe that abortion is a good thing. In fact I have never heard a single person say alright let’s go abort them babies today. I do not feel that I do not have the right to take that freedom away from someone else. Now you will say what about the baby and quote some religious argument. Well first of all our freedom of religion also guarantees our freedom from religion and like those illegal aliens that you do not want in the census well that fetus is not in the census. Now I am a believer in Jesus. Abortion has been happening for as long as women have been getting pregnant. The first record of abortion I could find was in 1500 BCE. Jesus never said a word about abortion even though it was going on at the time. If he did he probably would have asked you, What did you do for that woman so she didn’t feel she needed to have an abortion?  We are way too busy trying to control people than trying to really help them.

I hope the comments both good and challenging keep coming but please keep the insults to yourself.

    Regarding “illegal aliens in census” - that’s a constitutional issue as it says that the census shall consist of everyone in the states and doesn’t differentiate “illegal” from legal residents.

    Regarding Jesus and abortion - I think the Jewish faith requires an abortion if the pregnancy puts life of mother at risk (which a lot of the anti abortion hardliners ignore).

    You’re a better person than i as I can’t stand interacting with trump fans - I’m still waiting for the day that there will be a sane alternative to the Democratic Party because right now the republicans have gone off the deep end.

  There’s a simple way to judge a country: look at whose lives it protects, and whose lives it’s willing to forget. For years now, we’ve heard the phrase “All Lives Matter.” It sounds fair. It sounds equal. It sounds like common sense. But a country doesn’t reveal its values through slogans. It reveals them through actions, through the lives it defends, the lives it ignores, and the lives it quietly pushes out of sight. And lately, America has been doing a whole lot of looking away. When Black Americans said they were being killed during traffic stops and routine encounters, the response from many leaders wasn’t concern; it was irritation. Instead of saying, “Let’s fix the problem so fewer people die,” we heard “Blue Lives Matter,” “Stop resisting,” and “BLM is a terrorist group.” A man died in a chokehold on camera. We all saw, from the beginning to the end. It was like a modern-day lynching. Millions marched peacefully. The answer from those in power was “law and order,” and “...

  On Saturday, I was looking at Facebook and a person I was friends with, in fact, someone I went to High School with, posted something I knew was wrong. The post claimed that four lawmakers in Colorado decided jail time shouldn’t be mandatory for people who committed sexual assault of children. She claimed they were pedophile protectors. I opened up Perplexity and asked about the situation, and this is the reply I got back: You’re referring to a recent controversy in Colorado over a proposed bill that would change sentencing rules for certain sex crimes. Here are the verified facts to clarify what’s actually happening: • In early 2026, the Colorado House Judiciary Committee held a vote on a sentencing reform bill that aimed to give judges more discretion in certain felony cases. • Some lawmakers voted against an amendment that would have made mandatory prison sentences apply to all sex crimes, including child sexual assault, preferring instead to let judges determine sentences...

  Dove or hawk? Donald Trump ran for President promising to end “endless wars”, avoid new ones, and put American families first. He cast himself as an outsider who would bring peace – the only candidate who wouldn’t drag America into another conflict. The message worked because let's face it, after so many years in Iraq and Afghanistan, America was tired of war. As a country, we were all tired of War. The country wanted stability, not another generation of men and women sent into danger. But once in office, he governed very differently. He governed like a Hawk, quick to threaten, quick to escalate, and willing to use both bombs and tariffs as weapons. What was missing wasn’t just consistency. It was an honor: the sense of responsibility and restraint that should come with the power to risk other people's sons and daughters. This isn’t about ideology. It's about whether someone who promised peace, but repeatedly chooses confrontation, can still claim to be a “dove”. A core...
