Well, 15 Billion is a bit more that I have in my savings account, but in the grand scheme of things as far as government spending goes, it's not a terribly large sum especially considering the benefit. First we can reduce our contribution to the U.N. to the required minimum. Pull the plug on any funds to the so-called 'Palestinians' and reduce funds to other nations who generally don't cooperate with us. How about a 10% troop withdrawal from Europe? Bring them home to work on the wall. Pull troops stationed in California & other Blue states to work on the wall as well. A side effect of these troops being stretched along the border would be a drastic drop in illegal traffic. Ask for 'volunteers' among current able bodied welfare recipients, after all they're receiving tax payer cash, they should pay back. Plus, if they refuse a job their benefit could be cut. What about homeless individuals working for food, shelter and a stipend? I'm certain there are government program funds that could be temporarily diverted in full or partially like grants to these rioting colleges. Where there's a will there's a way. What ever happened to American Ingenuity?

I would like to see Trump announce a 'Compromise' on Muslim refugee's. The 'compromise' would be that those who support and defend allowing these refugee's to remain in the country submit their names and a refugee or refugee family would be assigned to them depending on their income level. They would be responsible for the welfare of the individual or family and their integration into American society. A special invite would be extended to former president Obama, Hillary and members of congress as well as the Hollywood elite. My guess it that the excuses would flow like water over the falls, thereby exposing the phony's for who they are.

I agree with most of what you say except cutting the SS benefits. Those folks earned that benefit and are entitled to it. Not so with welfare, they did nothing to earn that and I've no problem eliminating it. As for the military they could be based along the southern border which could help local economies and reduce the cost of a wall.

Pennylynn, Excellent post

plainlogic, based on the security section of the code it would seem pretty plain that practitioners of ISLAM could be barred based on their adherence to the Koran which is clearly in conflict with our Constitution.

I've seen girls with two phones and each going at the same time. Or six people sitting at a table to dine and each is talking on a phone to someone not at the table, so why be there?

I believe we may be able to get the libs on our side by invoking Global Warming. You see few people equals less strain on the environment and all the things that humans require, not to mention the fighting. So if we were to eliminate all of the worlds Muslims think of the environmental benefit we could achieve. Just a thought.

Peru, where they make the best fake U.S. currency money can buy as shown on a recent undercover documentary. $20 U.S. buys you a fake $100 bill. Then there's a bookbinder that sews your fake currency into a book cover. Really neat.

Did it say whether that drop was from the record high? Was the authors name Chicken Little?

Hi Carol, First of all space at Gitmo is limited. But a much better alternative has just be handed to us. Canada's Trudeau has announced that Canada would accept refugee's unwanted by the U.S. So I say, "Fine, they're all yours" and detour them to Canada. We should also strike while the iron's hot and ship them all of Obama's 'guests' also.

As a man and a non-practicing Catholic (three times removed) I'll never have to decide whether or not to have an abortion. That said, I've not noticed any women posting on the subject today. In my mind I believe that until the 'Right to Life' crowd comes up with a viable alternative abortion has to remain an option. Prisons are filled with someone's neglected child. Think of the people who were harmed or killed by these 'saved' babies. I also see a bit of irony here on the part of 'concerned Christians'. In the 70's I woke up one Saturday to protesters outside of an abortion clinic that had opened across the street. My ex, a real Liberal, decided to counter picket the following Saturday. So out she went all alone with her little sign as I watched from the window. A mischief maker at heart I soon went out armed with a notebook and pen. Without acknowledging my wife I stood on the side and eventually stopped the most vocal protester and asked why he was there. After the usual 'murder of the unborn' spiel I said "If you tell me how many fetus's you're willing to save I'll go inside and ask the women to come out to meet with you". It was then that the excuses began. So at the risk of being callus, I say 'Put up or shut up'. If this is soooo important, the churches & memberships will find the funds to care for the babies they wish to save.

I don't know squat about Prophecy other than what I just read but I've always figured King Abdullah of Jordan to be one of the more reasonable Arab leaders and possibly the least likely to start a war with Israel. That said, I understand he's just one person and under a lot of internal pressures. I'd always liked to think that he may just be the guy to help keep a lid on things. At any rate I'm old and there's a good chance I won't be around when the shit hits the fan.

thebigp, Excellent post. Too bad they won't shut up long enough to listen to us.

bahmer, on a plane with a quarter tank of gas on autopilot.

wuzblind, If he was queer he'd be the darling of the Left. So obviously he's not. Perhaps you're just infatuated, but alas, it's not to be. Obama is a much better bet for you, unless you're a closet bigot.
