I watched a video today where college students were asked:
When was the Revolutionary War fought? And who did We fight?
When was the Civil War fought? And who fought it?
Who did We fight in the Vietnam War?
And at least 3 out of 4 students didn't know any of the answers!!!

In the last 20 years or so I've seen videos where High School Seniors think the Moon is larger than the Sun, that don't know how many Stars are on the USA Flag or even what the Stars represent, that think Africa is a country!!!

It's not Sad!!! It's Tragic!!!

But I don't think the students are to blame. It's the people who have run the Educational Systems who are to blame. The Administrators, the Local and State Teachers Unions who haven't used their influence to better Educate Our Children. They are to blame.

Until We vote for Local, State, and Federal Officials who will look to drastically improve what's being taught on every Level, Our Posterity will be Lost.

You seem to forget, the Obama Admin "had separating children from parents in ICE concentration camps" and there were pictures of children in cages from 2015, and the Trump Admin looked to keep the families together and were stopped by the Dem Fed Justices!!!
You are correct that the Trump Wall is beautiful - and effective - and it's true Mexico isn't paying for it, but they are assisting us in drastically reducing Illegal Entry from Mexico!!!
Trump's Tax Cuts helped everyone, so naturally the rich - having more monies to begin with - see a better savings, but the rest of us got monies saved as well!!!
And those "Pinocchios" are good for a chuckle!!!

You see, how you perceive and how I perceive Pres Trump differ greatly... But I guess that's to be expected...

Porker of the Month
Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) named Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) our June 2020 Porker of the Month for abusing her power during the coronavirus crisis.
Beginning on March 10, 2020, and continuing throughout the ensuing months, Gov. Whitmer issued an unsavory 118 executive orders for the state and local governments, individuals, and businesses in response to the pandemic. The orders were excessive, contradictory, and confusing. For example, Gov. Whitmer banned the sale of seeds and plants from nurseries and greenhouses to grow food at home but allowed grocery stores to continue selling fruits and vegetables. She initially allowed pet grooming services to reopen, but not hair salons. The governor is also pushing expensive new programs while leaving small businesses behind.
CAGW President Tom Schatz said, “Gov. Whitmer’s abuse of power during a worldwide pandemic is shameful and insulting to Michiganders. She is taking advantage of a crisis to promote an agenda that hurts taxpayers and local businesses. She is picking winners and losers by randomly deciding who can open and who must remain closed, as thousands of small businesses remain desperate for the chance to recover from unprecedented losses. Her messages have sometimes been demeaning, as she told everyone to ‘Google how to do a haircut.’ She is also asking for a federal bailout for the state’s $3.2 billion budget deficit but refuses to dip into the rainy day fund or propose a single budget cut. For all of these reasons, Gov. Whitmer is a worthy winner of this month’s Porker of the Month award.”
Citizens Against Government Waste is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in government. For more than two decades, Porker of the Month is a dubious honor given to lawmakers and government officials who have shown a blatant disregard for the interests of taxpayers.

Three Things Trump Has Done to Protect America From a Red Dawn Invasion

By Pastor Gary Boyd


As BLM tries to divide us by starting a civil war stateside, that I might say Trump is handling very well, there is a report from my intel community saying Trump has done a good job so far by protecting us from invasion from south of the border. There are three objectives that have come on my radar showing how Trump is holding back a Red Dawn attack.

Intel says the Chicomms are trying to get left leaning south American governments to join them in a Red Dawn. When Bolton was charming Trump he got him to put 5,000 marines on the Columian border to stymie Venezuela. Bolton thought it was because he believed the president was going to war with Maduro. Instead Trump put the 5,000 troops in the Darien Gap. The Darién Gap is a lawless wilderness on the border of Colombia and Panama, teeming with everything from deadly snakes to anti government guerrillas. The region also sees a flow of migrants from Cuba, Africa, and Asia, whose desperation sends them on perilous journeys to the U.S. South American troops loyal to the Chicomms would have to come through this dangerous gap. That has effectively been shut down.

Nayib Bukele

The second part of my intel says Nayib Bukele, president of El Salvador, who is in Trump’s pocket, has his military training with the US Navy for air support as well as his armies. There is an aircraft carrier stationed in the gulf of Mexico that is helping get the job done. We are in the process of training their military to be a major power in the region in order to help us stop any south American troops coming our way. They have to come through El Salvador to get to our southern border.

AMLO

Andrés Manuel López Obrador, AMLO, president of Mexico who was betrayed by the Chinese in the NAFTA deal, has come to the aid of Trump because of the new trade deal that offers Mexico a way out of poverty. He has maned up to help fight the Chinese drug cartels that are trying to dominate society south of the border. Just recently AMLO supporter and confidente the police chief in the region was attacked by Chicomm backed drug cartels with RPG’s while traveling. Fortunately he survived. The support for Trump has become even more intense now with even more Mexican National Guard troops being sent to protect our southern border. AMLO fears a civil war with the cartels so he is going with Trump as an ally.

Conclusion

China at home is being flooded out by heavy rains that may collapse a dam that could flood out 400 million chinese downstream. The Epoch Times reported torrential rains and massive hail storms have destroyed houses, cars, roads and crops all over China. In addition to the Yangtze River region, Yunnan Province in the south and Inner Mongolia in the north were both inundated in floodwater on July 2. On June 24, a person driving back to Beijing noticed that there were very few cars driving into Beijing, while on the opposite side of the road, long lines of cars were waiting to get out of Beijing. The traffic leaving was very slow, because everyone has to present their nucleic acid test results at the checkpoint. Beijing has COVID-19 spreading. COVID-19 has struck again in a heavy surge to isolate another 26-40 million chinese in western cities.

Epoch continues with this updated report: China, still grappling with the CCP virus pandemic, has been hit with wave after wave of natural disasters across the country.

Weeks of torrential rainfall caused some of the worst floods in decades, wreaking havoc in 26 provinces across central and southern China and disrupting the lives of more than 19 million, according to authorities.
In recent weeks, hailstorms and earthquakes also struck parts of the country. Swarming locusts and animal-borne diseases were but the latest of the country’s woes.

Close to 50 million Chinese have suffered from some form of natural catastrophe in the first half of 2020, according to China’s emergency management authorities. Official tallies stated that the disasters have left 271 missing or dead, and 914,000 people urgently evacuated, but the true numbers are likely far higher, given authorities’ tendency to cover up information.

The flood inundated the pavilion beside Yangtze River on July 6, 2020 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.

Almost daily rainfall across large swathes of China since June has caused around 300 rivers to exceed warning levels and prompted dozens of cities to send emergency alerts. Citizens have recounted houses and cars being washed away in the stormwater.

Hubei, a central Chinese province whose capital Wuhan was ground zero of the virus outbreak, was particularly hard-hit by the downpours. The unprecedented rainfall has paralyzed hundreds of roads, overwhelmed five major lakes in the region, and caused nearly 1,100 reservoirs to overflow, according to local authorities.
“Come see the ocean in Wuhan,” one local said in a video showing knee-high water on the road.

In Shanghai, a trio of rains, angry winds, and roaring thunder shook residents wide awake early on July 6. The accumulated rainwater on the rooftop of a shopping mall began to spill over, while gushing water burst out of a manhole cover, according to accounts from locals and videos shared online. In the megacity Chongqing in southwestern China, muddy water ran through the third-floor window of a residential building, forming an artificial waterfall.

If the trend continues, locals and experts worry that the Three Gorges Dam, one of the world’s largest, may burst under aggravating water pressure, putting hundreds of millions who live along the Yangtze River at risk.

Other Crises in China

Swarms of locusts have eliminated crops in multiple agricultural provinces since June—some of which were already battered by flooding.

In Quanzhou, a southern agricultural county in flood-hit city of Guilin, 10 days of locust invasions have emptied out corn and grain fields, orange trees, and willow trees planted along river banks to prevent flooding, according to villagers.
“Even the leaves were not spared,” Mr. Zhao, a local farmer, told The Epoch Times. In early June, a locust invasion in Hunan Province caused residents to hide at home and shut their windows tight, as the insects swarmed their courtyards.

While China’s top agricultural expert Yuan Longping has denied the possibility of a food crisis, critics and locals have raised such concerns due to the recent disasters. Officials from Chengdu city in Sichuan have issued a notice encouraging villagers to convert fruit orchards into rice paddies, suggesting a food shortage.
Meanwhile, the African swine fever, which first broke out among China’s hog population in August 2018, has again emerged in nine Chinese provinces, including Hubei, Yunnan, and Jiangsu. According to a June 29 study published in the U.S.-based “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” journal, Chinese researchers also identified a swine flu virus named G4, which can spread among humans. The virus evolved from the H1N1 strain, which caused a global flu pandemic in 2009, and has been detected in over 30,000 hogs in 10 provinces in recent years.

Now the Bubonic Plague

Authorities in Inner Mongolia have issued a warning after a person was hospitalized, and suspected of contracting the bubonic plague, the cause for the Black Death pandemic more than 670 years ago.
A city in southwestern Guizhou Province, which also recorded heavy rainfall, experienced two small-scale earthquakes on July 2, while northern cities including Beijing and Baoding in neighboring Hebei Province saw hailstones carpeting the ground on July 1 and 5. And in late June, a hailstorm in Beijing continued for seven hours, sending down hail the size of eggs that resembled the shape of a virus.

If that isn’t enough disaster Epoch reports: The World Health Organization (WHO) said it is monitoring a bubonic plague outbreak that was reported in China’s Inner Mongolia.

The U.N. organization said Tuesday it is monitoring the situation but doesn’t consider it to be high-risk.
Spokeswoman Margaret Harris told the BBC: “Bubonic plague has been with us and is always with us, for centuries. We are looking at the case numbers in China … At the moment, we are not considering it high risk but we’re watching it, monitoring it carefully.”

Harris said the WHO was informed by Chinese regime officials about the case in Bayannur, Inner Mongolia.
Local Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials issued a “level three early warning” for plague prevention after the plague case was reported, according to a statement on Sunday.
“At present, there is a risk of a human plague epidemic spreading in our city,” the city government wrote. “The general public is requested to strictly follow … requirements for plague prevention and control, and effectively do personal protection to improve self-protection awareness.”

Local people also cannot partake in the “unauthorized hunting” or “unauthorized carrying of epidemic animals” or “their products from the epidemic area.”

It is believed that a herdsman in the area contracted the plague from a marmot, a type of large rodent. Marmots are believed to have caused a plague epidemic in 1911 in mainland China.
“If you have a history of living in the plague epidemic source, you should go to a designated hospital in a timely manner if you experience fever and other uncomfortable symptoms,” the regime’s statement added.

This is the topper to all this madness: A massive tornado touched down in Xilinhot in northeastern China’s Inner Mongolia on June 24. Because tornadoes are extremely rare in this region, locals say they feel this is heaven expressing anger.

Do you think God might just be a little unhappy with China unleashing this worldwide pandemic that killed millions? What say you?

You'll never believe it, but nearly 30 Democrats in the Senate and House have signed a letter calling for the destruction of women's athletics in America.

They are demanding that schools allow any male to compete against female athletes -- just as long as that male says he "feels like a girl."

I don't think I have to tell you that the "transgender" issue is creating nightmares across the country.

Without rhyme or reason, without any conceivable method to keep track or hold people accountable...

...It's chaos.

I will never forget the anguished pleas of the young girl in my own county, who just last year begged our school board to keep boys out of her locker room.

More often than not, it's young girls who are paying the price for this gender insanity.

Over the last couple of years, male athletes who were unable to hack it against their biological peers have discovered a loophole that they are exploiting for all it's worth.

Competing against women.

You see, these pathetic "athletes" have realized it's a lot easier for them to defeat girls when it comes to feats of strength.

And with the "transgender" loophole, all they have to do to switch is say they "feel like a girl."

Sadly, it works.

Men and boys are shattering records in all areas of female athletics -- setting new records that real females will likely never be able to match.

How long until young girls give up completely on athletics because the game is rigged against them?

When it comes down to it, men have an indisputable physiological advantage that most women cannot compete against.

That's why even last place male athletes are dominating female competitions.

For one young lady from Connecticut, this came to a head when all the top spots in her regional track meet were taken by teenage boys masquerading as girls.

These victories meant that scholarships she and other girls were competing for, instead went to males.

This young lady had had enough, and turned to the pro-Family Movement to take her case to court.

Public Advocate threw our full weight behind her.

While the wheels of bureaucracy turn slowly, I'm proud to announce she has been vindicated!

First the Justice Department signed off on it.

And then, just weeks ago, the Department of Education (DOE) issued new guidelines that restrict female athletics in schools to real (biological) female athletes.

In fact, the DOE cited the Radical Left's own rulebook by pointing out that allowing biological men to play girls' sports was a violation of Title IX anti-discrimination protections.

But the Homosexual Lobby and their puppets in Congress don't care.

They insist that these young girls -- literally crying out for aid from these violations of their rights -- are just hateful bigots.

That's why nearly 30 Democrats have published a letter demanding that the Department of Education reverse this new policy and once again allow men and boys to dominate girls' sports.

Which is to say, bring about the destruction of women's athletics altogether.

Right now, the Trump Administration is facing challenges from the Homosexual Lobby over countless pro-Family policies.

The Homosexual Lobby does not like to lose victories it's already claimed.

But that's just what Trump keeps doing.

So they are planning to batter Trump into backing down.

That's why it's critical we show the White House and conservatives in Congress just how important this issue is to you and other mainstream Americans.

We need Congress and the White House to stand strong on this.

Click here to sign your petition opposing the Transgender Loophole right now!

If we don't fight for these young girls, I'm afraid no one will.


For the Family,
Eugene Delgaudio
HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.

P.S. The Homosexual Lobby and their cronies in Congress are demanding that the Trump Administration destroy girls' sports in schools across the country.

The Transgender Loophole means the complete destruction of female athletics by allowing boys and men to dominate them.

Trump and his Education Department have closed the Loophole for now -- but the Homosexual Lobby is determined to reopen it.
