Can President Trump Find Solitude Enough to Contemplate Nation's Problems?
Donald Trump has an
overly-active social history. For most of his life he has been egregiously
social. In the White House, with a world of media plinkers attacking, something
he has the rare capacity to thrive on, can he find enough solitude to
contemplate solutions to national infrastructure rebuild ideas and issues.
Plainly the nation has embarrassed itself by neglecting to return
to the nearest extra-terrestrial body; the moon of the Earth circling around it
every month a lifetime after first exploring it. Like a gaggle of dummies on
dope the Congress has failed to construct an initial lunar research infrastructure
to let humanity have a work yard from which to innovate launch and living
systems. President Trump should think not only about how to get a moon research
colony started before the end of his first term, he should consider how to transform
the 3 million miles of asphalt toads in the U.S.A. to low light absorption,
power generating surfaces.
The President should find a way to employ those out of work the
longest through tax incentives for employers to hire them. The President really
ought to get solar panels on the Mexican security wall and discover some way
halt growth of public debt while keeping the social safety net intact.
President Trump has a full work term ahead while Democrats are
waging intifada and foreign influences and billionaires seek to reduce
Americans to modern peonage. If he can find some way to isolate himself from
the constant turmoil of DC, maybe he can get even more done.
Do Americans Care if Godless, Spoilt, Disloyal NFL Players Protest National Anthem?
A few richly-paid and
gifted natural athletes in the NFL sit during the NFL to protest anyone besides
Beyoncé singing it (joking). Actually the players have never served in the U.S.
military and have no deep sense of loyalty to the nation instead of themselves
and their race.
NFL players are radically over-paid entertainers that contribute
no useful work to society. With head injuries from concussive impacts over
their career they tend to drive up medical costs with frequent visits. While
globalism has saturated the national communication infrastructure and the
nation has 20 trillion dollars of debt the players of course want to act out
their personal displeasure with the state of national politics while on camera.
Presumably they would hate the national anthem wherever they were at in the
world and consider standing if an ISIS anthem or just the old standby standard
Internationale were sung.
Actually I thought NFL players were overpaid and under-taxed
before the fame of the dissidents to loyalty were featured in the entertainment
sections. It is true that the nation should reform its employment system from
the bottom up such that those out of work the longest would if hired bring the
greatest tax breaks to employers. Far too many chronically unemployed or under-employed
Americans have no chance to get a job, including black Americans.
The nation is in a time where loyalty rather than disloyalty is
valuable. NFL players should be role models of a good and constructive rather
than destructive nature. NFL players ought not sponge off the national savings
of loyalty and trust from prior generations and sacrifice and take for granted
that enough Americans are loyalty and so they won’t actually cause harm to
national interests. If they would not have been founders of the nation
themselves, if they would have had no loyalty to building a perfect union until
it was already perfect, they could have sat down through that too.
The Congress should pass a law that restores
voting rights for anyone that has lost them for being convicted of a felony,
seven years after the last felony, and if the individual is not in prison.
Disenfranchisement for blacks such as in Alabama creates distrust of the national
political system, yet pouting is not the way to make things better. I hate to
think of those that sit down for the national anthem in a movie about Iwo Jima.
