Why Conservatives are settling on Trump

Everyone has their thoughts on why a reality TV personality is being favored by the voting block of Republican voters.  Many say that it is America’s weariness of Washington Insiders and if they want to shake things up they have to go with an outsider.  I don’t think so.

Simply put, conservatives are looking for another Reagan and since he was more of an outsider when he ran, they are looking in that general direction and so many are attempting to claim that title.  It is believed that someone not of Washington will grab the spirit of Reagan and lead their party back to prominence and glory.  They believe in Reagan and all others are attempting to model themselves after him.  The only problem is, this is but one Reagan and none of those running are even close to him.

Reagan had his faults but he was no without humility and compromise.  He knew that in order to get all he wanted, he needed to take a little at a time from several different areas to finally form what he sought.  Today’s Republican candidates are trying to take the whole cake and are finding out that no one gets the whole cake at least not all at once.  Out of the field of candidates, Donald Trump appears to be the most like Reagan this group see.  They say it is that he speaks frankly and sometimes says some thig that they may not but that’s alright.  This would be fine if the United States was isolated from the entire world and had not any reason to join the rest of the universe in order to make life better and more peaceful than it has been in the past.

Consider this, you are a foreign leader with an Army of your own and Donald Trump walks into your house, tells you what you will do to clean it up, gives you ultimatum after ultimatum and threatens to bomb you if you don’t.  How long would you, as a person seen by your millions and billions of people as their leader will subject that country to a bully with a badge?  Now we have more wars and more conflicts because of his inability to even think compromise and our children are drafted right out of high school to defend and make better the damage a careless and thoughtless president has made.


We’ve seen this movie before and the ending is deadly.  We are still dealing with an administration remains that have caused unnecessary and undue damages to our young men and women of our Armed Forces.  Even Reagan negotiated with the Russians and gave up things to get other things, so it appears evident that this is the type of person one needs to be in order to occupy the highest office in the land.  Reagan filled it twice and honestly did some good things as well as some bad but this crop of nominees are definitely no Reagan and Donald Trump less so than any but it is your call and your vote so do as you will, just be as responsible as you demand others to be when you finally realize your search for Reagan garnered you Reagan less not Reaganness.

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

Something to Think About Regarding These State’s Abortion Bans

  According to an article titled “The Conversation- A concise history of the US abortion debate, by Treva B. Lindsey, Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University, Published: June 10, 2019, https://theconversation.com/a-concise-history-of-the-us-abortion-debate-118157 . History has again been totally ignored and the lesson lost.   This being the case, it bears out the great need for educated people to finally diagnose history as it happens and make the necessary changes to ensure that this particular piece of history is not constantly repeated. Consider this, “While many may think that the political arguments over abortion now are fresh and new, scholars of women’s, medical and legal history note that this debate has a long history in the U.S.   It began more than a century before Roe v. Wade. As of 2019 “around 1962 the Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercially produced birth control pill, Enovid-10. Although various forms of b
