It's not Putin's Fault

Average unleaded gas prices in the US since 2017:

January 2017 - $2.28

January 2021 - $2.45

May 2022 - $5.00+

Trump managed to keep the increase under a quarter during his 4 years. Biden has doubled it in less than 2.

Even if it's "Putin's Fault", it's really Biden's fault for being such a weak leader that other countries will exploit our failures. Every other country is going to try to take advance of the US until we get strong leadership back in the white house.

It's the president's fault

A white supremacist group held a permitted protest against the removal of a historical statue in Charlottesville. Counter protestors showed up, armed with sticks, rocks balloons filled with urine. The mayor told the police to stand down so the leftists started attacking. Then the mayor called off the permitted protest, which had been peaceful, and demanded the people leave.

All hell broke loose and some idiot decides to drive his car through the crowds, killing 1 and injuring more.

The left blames Trump and is slamming him for saying the bigotry & hatred must stop from "many sides". Apparently, his failure to specifically call out the perpetrators is a reason for impeachment but they had no such concerns when Obama failed to condemn the actions of the black lives matter movement.

If you look at the facts, from eye witnesses at the scene, it's obvious that both sides were involved but the reports indicate the violence was started by the left. That's what the media failed to tell us. What they refuse to acknowledge. Because that doesn't fit their narrative that Trump supporters are the violent ones.

If Trump is responsible for the actions of this one lunatic that drove through the crowd, then Obama is equally responsible for the violence instigated by BLM, the violence against Trump supporters, the attacks on police, etc.

People are responsible for their own actions. Stop blaming the president for the stupidity of others.

Does Change.Org really have a purpose?

So, the newest Change.Org campaign is to get people to protest in an effort to get Trump to release his tax returns.

1. His tax returns before he was president are really none of our damn business.

2. If there was any proof he was doing anything illegal, the IRS would be all over him

3. Will seeing his returns actually "change" anything? What difference does it make?

If you really want to make change in our country you might start by helping out the homeless, veterans, children...in your own cities. Walking around with some poorly worded signs will do nothing but show the world, once again, how truly clueless you people are.

Give the guy a chance

I am so sick of the "tolerant" liberals that cannot get it through their heads that Trump is going to be president. Anyone that dares to even speak with him, in an effort to improve relations in the country, is deemed a traitor. The problem with our country now is these anti-Trump folks that just can't move on.

Plenty of us were not happy when Obama was elected, twice. We lived through it. You'll survive Trump. Let's all grow up and stop acting like we're under communist law. All of the "facts" that are being passed around as gospel are no such thing but the libs have grabbed hold of them and won't let go.

His planned trip to the african american history museum is deemed a publicity stunt and his meeting with Steve Harvey was a photo op. Ok, let's just ignore all the black folks he dealt with way before he ever had any plans to run for president. Let's ignore the fact that he bought a white's only country club in Florida and changed the rules to allow all races.

Let's forget all that and focus on his criticism of Obama and the way he ran his presidency. I believe Hillary did the same damn thing when she ran against him. But, it's ok for her to do it because she's part of the same party, right?

Liberals will be the death of this country and all it stands for. They will kill us with political correctness. They will destroy morality, common sense and common decency. They continue to divide us by throwing around the race card at every turn. It has to stop.

I'd love to move all the conservatives to another country and leave the liberals here to kill each other off. It would be an amazing reality show to watch from afar.

 

Trump didn't mention blacks...find a safe space and cry.

It's no surprise that Trump's speech at the RNC has caused a stir among Democrats but now we are hearing that he didn't say enough about how he plans to help black people. This author is upset that he would dare speak about the innocent cops that were gunned down and not support the blacks that were killed by police.

First, those cops were not in any way responsible for the deaths of any civilians. They were gunned down simply for their profession and the, presumed, sins of others.

Second, why would anyone in their right mind stand up and cry about racial injustice when the cases in question haven't even been tried in a court of law? We all know that some of the deceased had long arrest records and we're not cooperating with police. Stop making these thugs out to be martyrs. They are not.

Third, instead of expecting a president nominee to save your asses and make life better, how about you work on that yourself? Teach your children to be kind and not kill each other. Let them know that cooperating with police is not bad, it's common sense and decency that should be shown to people that out their lives on the line every day to keep you safe. Start making changes at your very core and stop expecting other people to do it for you.

I'm so sick of hearing all these people whining about being offended and claiming the cops that were murdered got what they deserved. The entire world has turned into a bunch of pansy ass babies that can't take responsibility for themselves and do what is right.

Grow up, America. You're running our country into the ground.

If you get easily offended... You are part of the problem.

If you believe it's ok to murder innocent cops for the actions of a few... You are part of the problem.

If you expect politicians to make your life better and end crime in your neighborhood but refuse to acknowledge that your neighborhood is destroying itself... You are part of the problem.

If you immediately believe the claims of a person simply based on their race... You are part of the problem.

If you claim black lives matter but refuse to acknowledge those killed by people of their own race... You are part of the problem.

If you cannot accept the fact that blacks are not killed by police more than any other race... You are part of the problem.

It's all on you

Democrats are blaming Donald Trump for the violence that protesters have displayed in an effort to stop his rallys. What they refuse to acknowledge is that the protesters are Anti-Trump folks, which means there's a good chance they are Democrats. How about you school your own party on what a peaceful protest includes?

And why do I never see stories about violent protests at Democratic rallys? Is it because Republicans aren't the vile, hateful people Democrats would have you believe? Or maybe Republicans just don't feel the need to show their beliefs with violence.

Someone actually told me it was because none of the Democratic candidates needed to be stopped at all costs. Are you freaking kidding me? I'm seriously thinking about unfriending anyone in my life that would choose Bernie or Hillary.

Regardless of your political affiliation, your actions are your responsibility. Your choice. Nobody is forcing you to do something you don't want. Stop blaming others for your bad choices & actions. If you choose to protest violently and get dealt with violently...that's all on you!

Get your shit together, America!

While I do think Donald Trump goes overboard & is far more outspoken than the rest, I have to agree with a lot of what he says. Luckily, there are other options that have similar feelings but the question I have is...do they have the guts to follow through if elected.

Yes, there are Trump supporters that I wouldn't trust to take care of a turtle for an hour but I think a lot of folks feel like he's the only hope to beat the Dems and make sure this world doesn't turn into a circus run by folks that just want to give out participation trophies.

The anti-bullying campaigns have not only focused on stopping bullying but they've turned our kids into weak minded simpletons that feel they are bullied any time someone disagrees with them. We need strong leadership that won't backpedal once in office and turn this country around so we aren't the laughing stock of the world.

Other countries used to look at us like we had our shit together. People wanted to come here for a better life. Now, people want to come here because they know we are pansies that won't stand up for our own laws and stop all the horrendous acts being perpetrated by foreigners and even our own citizens.

We spend so much time fighting amongst ourselves we will never be able to join together and save our country when the shit hits the fan...and it will happen. We're under the highest security threat alert since 9/11. Make no mistake, they are coming. Hell, most of them are already here and we have to stand up, stop being babies and defend ourselves.

Stop teaching your children that mediocrity is ok. Stop accepting differing opinions as racism or discrimination. Stop blaming the past of others on your own failures today.

Get your shit together, America.

Is a muslim registry the answer?

I can certainly understand the resistance to a muslim registry; however, with the world in its current state we have to take precautions to ensure the safety of the folks living in the US.

Is a registry the answer? I really don't know. Are there other options? I hope so. Do we need to do more to ensure terrorists aren't coming here?  YES!

What the answer is may be a combination of things but at least Trump is offering options and not pretending the threat is "contained" like our illustrious POTUS does.

In regard to this veteran bashing Trump because he didn't serve in the military...that's ridiculous. Nit every one can, or should, serve. That's the way life is and we have to change to adapt to the times.
