Good post! I feel like I would love to have a long conversation(s) with you.
The "children", I like that part, is through love. I know it sounds whimpy to come from a guy. I believe everything we do is because of love. If we didn't love it, then we wouldn't put the effort into it. You are a good writer.
I don't expect a response, I'll make a comment, I just saw a video on you-tube a woman coming across as such, what I use to say, a single-digit mental-midget talking to this hispanic man that the President says all of "them" are rapist and thieves. I just laughed after watching this that it must be pre-planned and those two in the video are actors. I'm sure I'm wrong, there are people that bigoted. I know for sure since the time I was condemned to a wheelchair myself and how someone like me fits into a society that has 2 working legs.
You have a good mind and can do well, hope you do.

I once had a Law Professor (yes, only a few subjects night school) who told me if anyone believes the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) is not political then they must be stupid. He gave an example (relevant to today) President F.D. Roosevelt inherited a SCOTUS from a conservative Pres. Hoover who made rulings he disagreed with. Pres. Roosevelt asked for a change to our Constitution (Amendment) dealing with the Supreme Court. The SCOTUS started issuing rulings favorable to (he would agree with) Pres. F.D. Roosevelt. You don’t have to elect a judge for that judge to be political. Remember when civil rights for a black population was bad politics? George Wallace ran for President as a Republican? Really? You forgot this!?
You forgot? Please try to remember a few names Mao Tse-tung, Ho Chi Minh, Le Duan, Ton Duc Tha-ng. Remember any of these? How about Joseph Stalin? Legendary Dictators who declare something classified, otherwise national security, so they can keep all the information to themselves. Fascism, Communists, Nazi’s names through history.

The huge Catholic Migration from North Vietnam to South Vietnam, some million people. You forgot this? All the lies I can only tell you what I saw with my own eyes. South Vietnam a few families traveling south to find a city, not the slightest coin between them, hardly clothes. The North VC came to them, literally stole the men, young men (like 13 year olds) including young women, maybe killed a couple people, certainly raped a few women, usually in-front of those who didn’t want to see but it helped with the fear. Think about it! They didn’t have a portable TV, radio among them and nobody wanted them around for several reasons. So these people slept along-side of the road. I watched them while most the time I was in the bush. How did these people stay informed of anything? Guess you didn’t think of that.

I don’t blame all the liars people elect, I blame the people. There are so many liars, including the media, because YOU voted for them, encouraged them. YOU did whatever you could to encourage them, so they lie to you on a common basis. Lying has become “acceptable conduct” to U.S. society. There aren’t enough hours in the day to track-down all the lies, but I do take a few to research.

There is a difference between me and other people (I don’t have pleasant names for) once someone has lied to me, I catch them usually research, I don’t believe them again and certainly do nothing to encourage them. I blame myself too. I voted for this Trump guy and caught him lying many times. Media I call “Entertainment”. Think about it, the attractiveness of the hosts. These so-called TV hosts are not reading news, they are reading a script! One reading told me on this site there are only two political parties money and those without money (close enough). Most people have no idea what this country is about, is easier to blame someone who wrote the Constitution they did something wrong than to take blame or even think. In fact, we have a society of people who put no effort into anything, including easier to blame someone else than to look in the mirror. There is that stupid blame issue, laziness, self-centered, couldn't be me (they say) I'm blameless, it's always someone else, sounds like a kid blaming the purple people eater for knocking the lamp on the floor.

Dear PJT, Did you know when our country (in the past as now) enters into an agreement to a Treaty, it must be approved by our Senate, then becomes law. It was the U.S. who negotiated the Human Rights Treaty of 1948, approved by our Senate. If a person comes to a border due to violence they are not illegal, never have been illegal. It was us, the U.S. society, who did not believe what that person said hence the need for judges. Are you entitled to due process? I certainly do agree people doing what you explain is illegal. The percentages are much lower than relayed. I live most my life in southern Arizona, saw it with my own eyes. We expect 10% of bad people in our own society but those immigrants it's more like 0.1% but people believe what they want to believe. Truth means little any more. We spend a huge amount of money throwing repeated illegal criminals in our own prisons, huge amount.

I've asked this one person, neighbor, who complains about this called me a "Bleeding Heart" and I ask why doesn't yours? I do take some blame as a long time Republican, voted for Trump, then researched and caught him in so many lies, I'm so surprised when I see what our society has turned into. National Security has been used too often, stretched so far that now it's used for everything, even it's national security because the public may become upset and riot if they knew the truth.

Do you remember the Catholic migration from North Vietnam to South Vietnam? All the murders, rapes, kidnapping. I saw it myself in Vietnam but hate to say our society has forgot.

Enough is enough for me. People who believe whatever they are told. I dislike I've turned into a researcher but at least ethics still means something to me.

Quite correct Floyd. I call it that old Jarhead side of me that gets a kick out of sarcasm, like asking someone if they could tell me where they get the razors they use to shave their head, probably missed something while cutting holes in their bed-sheets to see through, even that the square mustache on their upper lip never did come across as attractive.
I really should pay more attention to what you wrote.
(Did I give you a smile?)

Thank you Linda. Your help well no price-tag could be applied, you're a very good person! I will concentrate on which is illegal. Reading so much my eyes are about to fall out, lol. You're doing quite well.

So That Is Who You Are! Is there something to gain to "troll" people? Sure would like to know.

Same with me Archie.

So That Is Who You Are! Is there something to gain to "troll" people? Sure would like to know.

WOW! That is deep, and very accurate. Thanks. I read some posts/replies and wonder how these people have enough brain matter to respond. Can never think that of you. Thanks again.

Strange Linda, I only checked-in on this hoping it would be you, and it was. Guess I'm lucky.

“My Dog Is A Democrat”, a funny & cute song. I just heard it this morning (OK, OK I guess I don’t get out much). I have 4 dogs in this house and now I’m convinced they all are Democrats. lol

There are parts of this Immigration stuff that doesn’t make sense. Those of us who were in the military can all agree on this; the government uses way too much paperwork. We think it is a safe assumption that someone in the government would keep track of every name of every person and family in-which action was taken (i.e. arrested, detained, transported, etc.) You get on an airplane to take a trip within this country you have a ticket with your name, you have to show I.D., you even have to account for luggage and assigned seat, that is a private company airline. We all feel it is a safe assumption the government has even more documentation for every sneeze. (OK, the sneeze part may be going too far)

North Korea, China, Russia, places of severe dictatorship where Human-Rights are severely restricted, if a person of the press wanted into a facility that restrictive government would easily deny them. If you want to see pictures (at least something new) the press could go into the facility but in this case pictures are “provided” so the government gives you what they want you to see. WHAT?! Officials, elected in this case, try to tour some government facility and are denied! WHAT?! This is Communism and certainly "not" a Democracy, or this representative government. Is that what you are part of? Not me!

I remember telling people who asked I would respond with I’m a Republican because I believe in Freedom, I believe in small government (really who would not agree with small government), etc. I’m an Independent now but Republicans nowadays can’t say the Freedom part because Dept. of Human Whoever, etc. are NOT dealing with National Security in these immigration issues. Children are involved in a NOC list, troop movements in a war zone, what is this? Answer: Dictatorship, Communism, Tyranny. So this is you? To be an “ethical” person you stand-up for what is right, you speak-up when you see something that is wrong. Keeping quiet is not ethical conduct.

Please don’t be naïve! I’m not involved working in the current White House, but some years ago (you better not say decades) such an Immigration plan was discussed for months, maybe a year or more. This Immigration plan did not happen as a knee-jerk command to the Border Patrol. This issue, and the Executive Order, was all planned in detail prior to being enacted, and the press just helps the government along simply because they are not that smart but also they are governed by money and how much they can talk. If I was a betting man, I would put money on what I said above.

Linda, I'm still reading the IG report, fell asleep reading it last night. 568 pages takes awhile especially with me hi-lighting & leaving comments.

Thank you, us old Jarheads gotta stick together!

I am so sick of the liars! I’ve already ran into what I call the “Photo Shop” of pictures to change what I see, so can’t trust pictures. I ran into what I call “Photo Shop” video now, so I can’t trust video. Lies everywhere! So “This Is Who You Are?” It took me some years to put this all together, big thumbs-up to those people who figured this out earlier in their lives.

I certainly violated “This Is Who You Are” many times in the military claiming “I was just following orders” to put the responsibility onto the shoulders of someone else. I continue to ask the same question to all those “brutes” who just claim they were following orders, such “brutality” is the action of a Tyrant. What national security is involved inside some camp where attempted immigration children are housed? Point to me the national security secret you are protecting! No, now I, we, are stuck looking at pictures “provided” to us rather than allowing the “entertainment” news to take our own pictures, China & Russia would do this. Someone show such to me so I can claim national security secrets are involved!

Our own country (U.S.) is a revolutionary country where we rebelled against tyranny. Now I see us doing the same and rationalize the conduct upon someone else. I see things different now in my life, the twilight years it’s called, where some people call it strong to beat-up others while I call it strong to stand-up against those doing the beating-up of others. Flipping through the TV channels from my crippled condition, I see lies from what was called trusted news when we really don’t have trusted news, we have “Entertainment”. Way too much “suck-ups” in D.C. who really feel comfortable lying to U.S. society. I blame the same society for their tolerance of the liars. Please stand-up like I saw Arizona Senator McCain did this morning pulling himself out of the political party he belonged to, we belonged to, for so many years. I’m a proud Independent now and people should do the same in BOTH political parties with the explanation of “I’m sick of the lies”. Your VOTE will be courted more with you registered as an Independent rather than registered to a certain political party. Makes me feel I have more of an impact than I actually do.

I will continue to take children away from their parents, act so cruel, until you agree to fully fund something I want. To me, that sounds like someone will continue to flay the skin off your body until you sign-over the deed to your ranch. Like old movies Jones, remember “along came Jones…..”

No, whatever YOU do in your cruelty (children, flay the skin from your body, Jewish ghetto in Poland, concentration camps, work camps, on and on) you are doing yourself and your rationalizing I’m making you do it is a real stupid argument. Vietnam, it was common a captured person of our military was tortured and carry those marks today, if they survived. I, myself, carry such a marks. Some hero’s did not survive after their genitals were cut off, carvings into their skin (like me & that was lucky), those dismembered soldiers. You really forgot that?! Vietnam wasn’t even a war, it was a Police Action (Congressional game-playing with words) that once a war is declared, those soldiers involved are entitled to certain things that they will never get under “Police Action” (the same with Korea some years earlier). Some strange angle of thinking that since we (the U.S.) sent soldiers to Vietnam, we forced the VC to carve/torture including torture us to death. Last I checked, it was some VC hand on that knife not mine or anyone of YOU.

The perjurer AG, Jeff Sessions, (I’m not a Sessions fan) announces a new interpretation to the immigration law. The COS (Chief Of Staff) announces he is considering taking children away from parents to force something. Pay attention to that because it proves not only Trump lying but someone buying-into such a lie. The U.S. starts taking children away from their parents. We disapprove on a real big personal issue; “SO THIS WHO YOU ARE?”

I’m a huge opponent of lies. I’m convinced that those to blame for the problems with our government is a result of YOU, the U.S. society, those who vote, or fail to vote, and put the idiots into political office. If someone says “all politicians lie” or “you know when a politician is lying when their lips are moving”, how about “all Presidents lie”, and that person either voted for a liar or failed to vote you have found yourself an unethical person. If any of those quotes are even partially true, who allowed such? Lying has become “acceptable conduct” so if YOU support the lies YOU are just as guilty.

People refuse to take any blame for what they do, the same as the VC carving and flaying U.S. soldiers. The same refusal to take any blame is the same as lying to us (not even close to a “white lie”) is “acceptable conduct”. Certainly, they (U.S. voters) have a hand on that knife carving-up U.S. people but there is that refusal to take any blame. Encourage the lying idiots to continue and you continue to vote for them. I’m to blame as well, not as much as you since I can do something you can’t called self-reflection, honesty. Oh, there’s that childish refusal to take any blame again. Sounds like Cersie in the fiction “Game of Thrones”.

IS THAT WHO YOU ARE? (a good ideal for every part of your life be it relationships, work, religion every part of your life, that’s what your parents should have taught you) So I wrote too much, so people will not read. Besides, they are sick of hearing what I write and won’t read. Have you asked why you are sick of hearing what I wrote? No, there is that responsibility issue regarding blame.

Still reading the IG report, so don't give me too much to do with responses.

Thanks, and I'm writing on this private response. Please have patience with me. I have the strange condition the Dr.s say imposed via my spinal problems broke in 3 places that condemned me to this damn wheelchair. I have dementia I'm told caused via my neck injury. I honestly wake and mentally totally convinced of something that clearly isn't me. There is more that goes with it, but I probably said too much already.
Thanks in advance for your patience.

Thanks, going there in minutes.
