In My Humble Opinion

Further division needs to stop
Oops! They did it AGAIN! Last week I talked about the Biden administration not recognizing or understanding Memorial Day. They were called out for that and ended up making some type of late acknowledgment.
But they must not have much of a memory because this past Sunday, June 6 – better known as D-Day from World War II – they totally ignored the meaning and history of the day again! This was a day to remember and recognize the thousands of our brave troops (and those of our allies) who went ashore to push the Nazis back from the English Channel in an effort that eventually ended the war. And, this time, they didn’t even acknowledge the day after being called out on it.
Again, to those of you who are veterans, I have to ask doesn’t this bother you? I’m not a veteran, but I am the daughter, granddaughter and niece of World War II veterans. I have an uncle who flew on D-Day. In my opinion, every person living in the United States during WWII was a veteran of sorts because of the sacrifices they made for the war effort. They were truly our Greatest Generation. I would venture a guess that most of you have an ancestor who served during World War II, also.
I heard a commentator on the radio talking about this, and he compared the patriotism of prior administrations to the Biden administration. At least through the last Bush administration, there was a mutual dedication to honoring our military and their sacrifices on our behalf. This all started to change under the Obama administration, but at least he did acknowledge the historical days of our past. No wonder we can’t find common ground with each other when one side wants to highlight our strengths and success while the other wants to show our weaknesses and call our past a failure.
Then, to just keep the hits coming, even Democrats and liberal media are starting to call out President Biden and his Immigration Czar VP Kamala Harris for their total disaster of a border policy. VP Harris has made a trip now to Guatemala and Mexico, but (as of this writing) has NOT been to the United States border to see what is really happening.
In an interview with Lester Holt on NBC, she avoided his repeated questions about why she had not been to the border in person yet. She LAUGHED and said she “hadn’t been to Europe either.” She kept saying “we” have been or “we” will go, but nothing about when or why the delay.
VP Harris says she wants to correct the “source” of the immigration invasion – the conditions in the countries where the illegal immigrants are coming from. We can’t even fix our own American problems, so why would anyone think we could fix problems in other countries – except by promising them massive amounts of American taxpayer dollars that would end up going to the corrupt leaders in those countries? The border situation had been brought under some degree of control by cutting off funding to the countries that were not controlling their own borders to stop the people coming to America. The vice president, while telling people in Guatemala not to come to our border, said she “believed” they would be turned back if they did so. If she doesn’t KNOW that our borders are wide open, she shouldn’t be allowed to leave her own home.
Meanwhile, even with a majority in both houses in Washington, the current administration cannot seem to get any of their legislative agenda approved. Many members of the Democratic Party are even voting against some of the bills – like the federal takeover of elections and the massive spending bills. This is NOT the Democratic Party of the past – this is the socialist wolf in ass’s (donkey) clothing.
There is also a huge push back over the Critical Race Theory being forced into our school systems. Why must one race be characterized as victims who cannot succeed because of the past? Thank goodness many of the Black leaders are speaking out on this issue so maybe something can be done to stop the further indoctrination of our children so they can believe they CAN overcome whatever situation they might currently be in. The further division in our country has got to stop!
And here in Alabama, the 2022 election cycle is starting to have candidates announcing their intentions. Those include current Governor and Lt Governor, Kay Ivey and Will Ainsworth; Attorney General Steve Marshall; and several judicial candidates. We should see some new faces coming out, but many will be overpowered by name recognition and funding. So, get ready to start watching these folks and try to remember what they have or have not done in the past – the media will try their best to hide the skeletons and/or throw the mud!
I’ll close by hoping and praying that our next big holiday and celebration will be recognized – Independence Day! God, please bless America.
