Victor Davis Nabon

Just started a book by Victor Davis Hanson. He is not an easy read but is a very intelligent and thought-provoking author and commentator (often on Fox News). He writes “The Father Of Us All” as a study of the studies of War. On page 15 he cites; “Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, and Stalin killed far more people than did the First World War.” He then writes; “And more Americans-over 3.2 million-lost their lives driving cars over the past 90 years than died in combat in this nation’s 230 -plus-years of history.” I do not have an ability to challenge his statistic, However I admire his words and readily accept them. WOW!

How deep?

It is realized that the following will probably not be printed in any newspaper: What does the government provide? If we wish for the over-encompassing, birth to grave assistance we should inspect the record of their current roles. Back in 2003 the FTC, a Federal Commission, became the regulator of the Do Not Call List. Has anyone been prosecuted for violation? I never see reports of effective policing? We have the IRS. They can be used to control or police political activists. Remember how they went after the Tea Party. Now there are emails citing a plan to raid 401 K’s. There is Immigration and Naturalization a Federal organization to enforce immigration laws and regulations. We hear of people crossing our border then being flown to inland states. Has the Federal Government returned to the clandestine import of immigrated children? That was the practice during the Obama administration when they transported high numbers https://www.bizpacreview.com/2014/06/16/ice-shipping-planeloads-of-illegal-immigrants-to-massachusetts-125716/ “ICE officials confirmed to Fox 25 (Boston) on Friday that at least six commercial, agency-owned charter flights have transported detainees to the Boston area. The agency told the station that moving detainees from the southern borders to other areas of the country is routine.” The impact on school budgets was extreme. Our Federal Government is too political to care what will be the out- comes of their acts. The Liberal’s approach is to throw money at problems- real or perceived, other countries, and concern.
Dear Editor, We hear of un-accompanied minors and people begging for immigration by crossing our Sothern border. This curious situation requires Federal attention. Where are their parents of those unaccompanied or the sponsors of the adults? The situation was evident in past years. Obama’s administration erected cages for the multitudes. Fingers were pointed at Trump’s cages. The real questions are many. Who sends their children hundreds or thousands of miles to an unknown result? How do they travel through strange land? Who provides their food and personal effects, food, water, even toilets? At the border teens have arrived with slogan shirts claiming Biden favors them. My eyes might be deceived but their sneakers appear fairly new. Why would parents donate because someone said; “give me a thousand dollars and I will get your children to a better life in a nation that is reported to be hateful and xenophobic?” There could be your relatives who proceeded you or your children, but are they citizens of the storied nation? Are they employed? Do your predecessors have the where-with-all to facilitate a safe and healthy life, or are they not so well off? How will immigrant persons avoid the deadly COV-19? Will the person/s you pay for crossing assistance guarantee safety or freedom from the reported and even more heinous sexual slavery. The land they are leading you to, for the start of a new life, might be a drug life fantasy. Are your children and you accompanied by notorious gangsters? Citizens of the United States are being told our government has closed the border. Who will sponsor and assure care of them from birth, college, and happiness to old age? The best that the United States of America can do is pass and enforce laws that control the situation and prevents the fake trip to the land of enchantment. Return us to the 19th and 20th centuries’ that required sponsorships and employment availability. Gerald Keer
