The Enemy at The Gate and Within
Did not the Democratic Party once produce presidents such as Harry
Truman and John F. Kennedy? Were not major Democrat party leaders fierce opponents of mass
immigration because they recognized the negative impact it had on American
workers wages? Did not America's center-left party present itself as a friend to
American workers, fighting for their interests against corporate chiefs? The answer to all three opening questions are yes.
Regretfully, the Democratic Party of the past is not the Democratic Party of today. Indeed, the current Democratic Party is more concerned with defending international socialism than American workers. Today's Democratic Party has completely abandoned the middle ground. It is now a full-on progressive party with an agenda and platform almost indistinguishable from that of the Communist Party, or Democratic Socialists of America.
There is little doubt the Democrats of today would be marching in the streets against traditional Democrats such as President Truman or JFK. The Democratic Party has not always been characterized by unquestioning support for open borders. Indeed, the American left's sudden backing of mass immigration is relatively recent. One can argue, today’s Democratic Party has abandoned even the pretense of trying to help American workers. Instead, they seek to gain power by essentially replacing the current American people with a new one. Prior to the tail end of the last millennial (1990’s) the Democrats were unfalteringly opposed to lax border security.
Why the change in ideology, knowing illegal immigration disproportionately harms both the black community and their white working-class base? The Democratic plan is simply to replace American citizens. The left wants to expand the Democratic Party voting base to create a socialist one-party state. The simplest way to do this is to flood America with immigrants from 3rd World nations, who have little interest in the Constitution and are reliable Democratic voters.
Is there hope for the future? Yes! America’s future lies in the hands of the 45th President of the United States. President Trump can counter the Democrats' identity politics driven strategy with policies that will help American workers of all ethnic backgrounds. He should be dramatically reducing all immigration via a Wall on the Southern border, immigration reform and promoting America First, low tax, high growth policies which will win over significant numbers of working class, black, Asian and Latino voters.

Why not Discriminatory Immigration
Unless one has been asleep at the wheel,
they are aware that the mainstream media has had many a field day reporting on
President Trump’s alleged use of socially offensive language as it pertains to
Immigrants (legal or otherwise). Has not the stir over rough linguistics
reinforced the point Trump was making? Why should we not be more discriminatory
about the émigrés and others we allow to enter America?
Whether or not Trump used disparaging
words to describe impoverished countries, which have been plagued by political
systems that do not reward hard work, Trump is right that most of the people
living there are not prepared to immigrate here without imposing a burden on Americans.
Most of the people in the rest of the world just don’t have the skills to
support themselves in our high-tech society. Too many Americans have been
misled by the sentimental myth that our immigration policy is based on "...give me your tired, your poor, the wretched refuse
of your teeming shore.”
Did not Donald Trump, on the day he
declared he was running for president, vow to change the way our immigrants are
selected and screened? His point, then and now, is that we’re not selecting the
best candidates for immigration from among the much larger number of people who
do not share our values. As I and anyone with a brain to think with knows that generally, immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Haiti,
most African nations and more than a few predominately Islamic nations have the
least education. Furthermore, most are functionally illiterate in our language
and live in households that depend on at least one or multiple welfare
program(s). Here's a unique idea: Why not raise American workers salaries, house and feed our own homeless, and improve our veterans care and compensation, instead of bringing more of someone else's tired, poor and wretched refuse?

The Politicization of Everything
There was a time when we used to
be an America that pushed freedom, responsibility, decency, patriotism and hard
work. Some of us still believe in those things, but because of liberalism, much
more destructive values have seeped into our culture like toxic waste. There
are many ways that liberals have degraded our culture, but these are the
superlative of the bad.
Want to watch a professional football game? There are players taking a knee to protest the flag. Turn on a celebrity self-gratification awards ceremony? There are actors/actresses causing consternation by making partisan political statements. Want to go to the bathroom in peace? Well, first, we need to know if you’re okay with sharing it with someone who feels like the opposite gender today. You’re just a regular person telling a suggestive joke you heard? Better be careful; that could turn into a front-page confected scandal if the wrong person/group gets offended. Want to buy a holiday costume for your child? Well, you better make sure it’s someone of the same race or people will be upset. Want to go on a date? If you date someone of the same race, you may be racist. Ready to marry your best friend and sweetheart? Then you had best support gay marriage or you’re a homophobe. Where have the days gone where one could just live their lives without paying heed to politics at all? That was a good thing. Remember that wise saying? Never discuss race, religion or politics in polite company? Well, in view of the fact there are liberals, we no longer have a choice. A shame, is it not?

Memorial Day 2018
As Americans, we have
no more important holiday than Memorial Day, the holiday where we come together
and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. It's the one
holiday that makes all other holidays possible. For too many of us, Memorial
Day has become just another day off work, or a day for grilling and beaches excursions,
but for some families, it is a day to reflect on loved ones lost.
Memorial Day is personal to me. Several of my family members, to include myself have served over the years. One of them, my father, Sam Alano was an inspiration to me. He was an infantryman and took part driving across North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France and Germany culminating in VE Day. He received Purple Hearts for wounds sustained during the Normandy Invasion and Battle of the Bulge.
The story of American sacrifice has continued. From Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and in Afghanistan and Iraq, Americans whose sacrifices allow us to enjoy such a privileged life in a country we all love.
Allow me to provide some historic background as to the meaning of Memorial Day. First and foremost, Memorial Day is the day set aside to remember those men and women who perished while serving in our armed forces. Memorial Day began at the national level, May 30, 1868, as a Decoration Day, with a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery to honor fallen Civil War soldiers. Following World War I, Decoration Day became a day of remembrance of all soldiers, sailors, and Marines who died in the service to their nation, not just the Civil War. Following WW II that holiday was re-designated Memorial Day. Since the United States of America’s founding, more then 1.3 million men and women have died in service to our nation.
As President Ronald Reagan so eloquently once said of Memorial Day: “As we honor their memory today, let us pledge that their lives, their sacrifices, their valor shall be justified and remembered for as long as God gives life to this nation.”
These core tenets still provide a call to order for every American on this solemn day of remembrance. This being the case; this Memorial Day, let us pause, in a symbolic act of unity to remember and honor the men and women of the United States of America who have died in the pursuit of freedom and peace.
