Give credit where it's due

Where have you gone America? And, more importantly, is it too late to bring you back?

Shortly after Donald Trump was elected, he took decisive action against Syrian President Assad, for using chemical weapons against his own people. After years of flaccid, empty threats never backed up, by former President Obama, the majority of the people (and even the world) took notice, and hailed "America is back!"

Since then, the Trump administration has made steps (or at least attempted to) to strengthen our military, economy, borders and trade agreements. If anyone out there bothered to actually take an honest look at what the man has accomplished, and what he's trying to get done, there would be no doubt that we're on our way back.

Unfortunately, and for reasons that defy all sanity and logic, he's meeting with resistance from all sides every step of the way, and having to drag us back into greatness, kicking and screaming.

It boggles the mind, the lengths so many will go through, simply to deny him even the slightest win. Congressmen and Senators from both sides of the aisle, repeatedly prove that they would rather watch the country burn, than side with the President on even the most basic issues.

There should be no honest reason for debate or dissent on most of these matters facing our government today. Everyone should know that our borders need to be secured, and that insurance companies are killing the people with unfair premiums. We all know that breaking a law makes you a criminal, therefore anyone violating immigration laws is illegal. And, harboring a fugitive is a direct violation of the law, making so-called "sanctuary cities" illegal as well.

"Actions speak louder than words", as the old saying goes. Donald Trump ran on the slogan, "Make America Great Again", and when you cut through all the spin, lies and outright BS, you can easily see clear attempts to keep his promises. Just about every Republican in Congress ran on promises of repealing and replacing Obamacare, and aside from a few weak and half-hearted attempts every now and then, it's also clear they never really intended to. Obama and the Democrats have always ran on identity politics and "fundamentally changing" (read as: "destroying") America. They gave us the epicly failing Obamacare, a divided society of victims and entitlements, and college kids who want "safe spaces" while they decide which bathroom they should be using.

The failure to repeal Obamacare isn't the President's fault. It's the Republican party's, and the Democrats that gave us this steaming pile in the first place. But, we all know that Trump will get the blame.

This has gone past the point of disagreeing with the man, beyond ridiculousness,  and sailed way over the head of sheer stupidity. It's past time to stop throwing your little tantrums, and start doing your part to help our nation.

For the mainstream news, and a lot of Regressives out there... your part means shut up, and let the man do the job he was elected for.
