This morning, our new sheriff (no, not President Trump) Attorney General Jeff Sessions made a special trip this morning to Nogales, Arizona, to deliver a message to any want-a-be illegal crosiers of our southern border.  His presentation was seemingly to give his appreciation for the men and women of our border security agents, but it is in my opinion that Attorney General Jeff Sessions, purposely went out of his way, specifically to a border town to deliver his very stern message.  Attorney General Jeff Sessions could have easily and conveniently delivered this message from the comforts of his office in Washington D.C., simply by calling a press conference.  However, by showing up in person to this little border town has the metaphoric impact of the cruise missiles that sent a very clear message to Syria and their allies that we are not going to take it anymore.

Even before the do-nothing “Obama Administration”, we have become a doormat for every foreigner, who felt that the benefits of crossing illegally outweighed the risks.  In reality, it was President Reagan who more or less opened the door for illegal crossings, when he gave amnesty to 2.6 million illegal immigrants, who did cross our southern border up to that date in 1986.  It was the Obama Administration with its “Liberal Agenda”, who purposely invited illegal immigration, by sending information to Central American countries, on how to obtain government assistance once they crossed our border.  Who could not accept such a gracious invitation?

Ever since the inauguration of President Trump, illegal border crossings have seen their lowest levels in at least the past 6 years.  There is no longer a “catch and release” policy and many criminal illegal immigrants are being rounded up and immediately deported.  Once the criminal element is removed, the many other illegal immigrants will find themselves in jeopardy, which will create a vacuum of employment opportunities for more deserving American citizens to go back to work. 

We have already witnessed recently how the employment figures nearly doubled of anytime since 2010.  Granted, some of those employment figures are the results of the increased confidence of our current Trump Administration.  There has never been a time in all our history that any administration has invited so many representatives of a vast cross section of employers, for meetings with the President of the United States.  There is absolutely no doubt that those who fervently supported Donald Trump, during the election campaign are elated that this time we finally elected a true representative of the common people. 

I stated in a prior blog that President Trump has the soul of Andrew Jackson and by the way, Andrew Jackson’s portrait is prominently displayed on the wall to the President’s left, when sitting in the Oval Office.  If one cares to examine the presidency of Andrew Jackson, the same will discover a man of his word and had endured a number of bullets from several duels, all in the name of honor.  Soon after Andrew Jackson’s inauguration, he invited the public to the White House, for which a wild party ensued and some of “Old Hawk Face’s” friends from Tennessee had the guts to ride their horses into the White House.  That party was so boisterous that President Andrew Jackson had to get a hotel room to have some quiet sleep.  The term “Old Hawk Face” was an endearing term of the days when Andrew Jackson was a colonel in the United States Army, which is likened to “Mad Dog” General Mattis.  

President Trump is now faced with the possibility of having several war fronts looming.  Sure, as a matter of a “show of force” and resolve, there is going to be saber rattling on both sides and just like in the game of “chicken”, who is going to flinch first.  We have already proven our resolve with Syria and have deployed what one former United States ambassador termed as “100,000 tons of diplomacy” in close proximally to North Korea.  In our early 20^th century, this term was coined as “Gunboat Diplomacy”, which has proven in times past to be very effective and the very reason for all those truly interested in peace, must be prepared for war, as stated by Winston Churchill.

As one can clearly see, there is much to be learned from our true history and not the watered down, politically correct, Common Core education of today.  This last sentence brought me to yesterday’s blog and was rather disappointed as to the audience it drew, as compared to the blog before that one, for which I nearly wet my pants when I saw the more than double of readers!  Thank you and I suppose I might refrain from anymore “off the wall” commentary, but I did see a necessity to highlight a very select group of people, who find pop music is perhaps an escape from the woes of the world in general.  I still encourage my readers to provide comment to these blogs and yes, I am very disappointed at the lack of “other’s thoughts”, not to mention cheers or jeers.
