America Is this Who We Are? Trump’s Family Separation Policy

For the past few weeks, if you’ve been following the news we learned about another Trump policy of separating children from their families who have crossed the border seeking asylum. Trump's explanation that it’s the Democrat’s fault is a big fat whopping LIE! Trump created this policy and can change it with a stroke of his pen.
Journalists have only been allowed in a few camps that house the boys separated from their families. The boys are locked in large cages like animals sleeping on mats with Mylar blankets. The question that was asked by reporters several days ago how are the children ultimately reunited with their parents? And tonight we learned from MSNBC news that there is no organized way to reunite the kids with their parents. Once the parents are sent away to jail the kids are turned over to HHS which has no mechanism to reunite the children with their respective families. The parent may also be deported without their children. This is outrageous and it’s happening in America.
If this isn’t inhumane enough we now learned that babies are being housed separately in infant shelters somewhere in south Texas. Reporters are not being told the exact location of these baby shelters and no pictures are being allowed inside of the girl's shelters.
In Trump's speech today to the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) he used more inflammatory and racist language to defend his border separation policy saying that “immigrants would pour into and infest the US”.  Let those words sync in…infest the US.
So this is America now under this fake president, our racist underbelly has been exposed for the entire world to see.

Charlottesville White Nationalist Rally

The following was an anonymous post forwarded by my Facebook friend who succinctly touches on the real issue of the Charlottesville White Nationalist rally.
"You know what worries me? It's not that a group of racist idiots lit some tiki torches and decided to have a rally. I worry that on Monday they'll go back to their job in human resources and decide who gets hired and who gets fired. They'll put their uniform back on and "serve and protect. They'll sit on a jury and decide the fate of a young person of color.
They'll teach in a kindergarten class. They'll sit across from a couple, who came to this country, worked hard and saved, and have the power to approve or deny them a loan to purchase their first home.
“They'll decide an insurance claim. They'll give an estimate to repair the brakes on a mother's only mode of transportation to get to work each day.”
I don't stay up lamenting the fact that racists feel emboldened to parade in the street.
I stay up because racists have, do, and will apply their racist beliefs in their daily lives and, by extension mine and they don't do it carrying a banner to distinguish themselves.
It isn't the theatrical that worries me. It's the practical."
Now is the time to get off the couch America and let your voices be heard.
We cannot depend on the cowards in Congress to protect our institutions or our rights. Speak out, get involved and Take a Stand!

Trump Bans Muslim Immigrants – Time For Resistance

I woke up this morning to more disturbing news from the Trump administration.
Donald Trump’s executive order barred all immigration from seven majority-Muslim nations for 120 days, which the president signed Friday evening. The banned countries are Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen and Libya. Note that Saudi Arabia is not this list. The majority of the 911 hijackers were Saudi’s none were from the countries that are currently banned.
Donald Trump also temporarily canceled admissions from the entire U.S. refugee program.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed today that legal permanent residents of the US with green cards are included in the ban, and will not be allowed to reenter the country. Later, the agency said they would decide on a “case-by-case” basis. As officials raced to understand the new executive order, U.S. green card holders from Iran and the six other countries were reportedly kicked off flights, sent back to their country of origin or detained at airports.
This is not the America that I know. What has happened to our country with this madman in the white house? We cannot normalize or justify his actions or just as my neighbor asked me to give Trump a chance. WTF, give him a chance to do more harm to our country. Trump has been in office one week and has done more damage to our image than any other President during their first week in office.
The Muslim ban has sparked outrage and protests in NYC airport and other airports in the US, legal challenges, condemnations from politicians and denunciations from advocacy groups. Of course, Trump says that his executive order is not a Muslim ban and “that it’s working very nicely”. He’s living in an alternate universe.

“Targeting people based on their religion is wrong and unconstitutional. Shutting the doors on some of the most vulnerable people in the world—refugees seeking safety—shows a moral bankruptcy that is shocking even for Donald Trump” - Moveon.org.
Finally, it’s up to us and the media to hold Trump accountable for his actions and to call him out on his lies. We need to take to the streets and to social media to have our voices heard. It’s time for resistance!

Will The United States Government Pay Its Bills Or Go Into Default?

It's a shame that the United States government is fighting like a bunch of  little whining brats. The GOP is trying to hold America hostage because they don't agree with Obama care and raising the debt limit. The Democrats are standing their ground and not are not yielding to the Republicans. So basically no one wins. Not the United States Government or the American people. The United States Treasury Department says the United States Government won't be able to pay their bills past October 17th, if Congress does not raise the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling by then. Government does not come to an agreement to raise the debt ceiling and they go into default it is going to send the world a message. That the United States is not the world power any more. Just like China's Xinhua stated, that it is about time for a “DE-Americanized world.” I am not surprised by that statement because China's is the biggest holder of America's debt. What really gets me is that the United States Government may or may not pay its bills. Sending America into a collapse that we will never recovery from. How dare they!
