We the people .....

I've been blogging for a very long time

I don't think I have ever put up a political post

but I just feel I want to document my thoughts on this day

January 20, 2017 when our 45th president will be sworn in

Isn't it amazing to think that this awesome day, this event in our

great country has only been done 45 times!

I will start this with something interesting.......I told Johnny

about 20 years ago that either Warren Buffet or Donald Trump

needs to be president of our country.

at the time, they both were democrats

I just believed politicians were no longer working for the people 

of the country and that we needed a businessman to run it.

And if he picked the right people for his cabinet, we would be

ok with foreign affairs. 

So now look at us, Donald J. Trump will be sworn in today

as the 45th president of the United States.

I have supported him from the beginning.

and not only because he is a smart businessman but because I

felt like he was doing this for his children and grandchildren.

I truly believe that he would not put his family through this

campaigning disaster if he didn't feel like he could make our

country better for the future. 

Is he the best choice, probably not, is he crass at times, oh yes

I can't even tell you how many times I cringed when he tweeted, debated,

interviewed......but it still did not sway me. I still do believe that he is there

to work for the American people. That is our problem, we have had

politicians and they do not work for us. They don't.....the do in the beginning

but then politics come in to play and things change.

I will say, I have voted Republican and Democrat in the past

I have tried to vote for the person and what their goals were

for the country. And really, none of them have lived up to my expectations

I do believe that Bill Clinton did pretty good his first 4 years

after that, no. And I believe Ronald Reagan did a good job.

There was no way I could have voted for Hillary. In my heart, I just

don't believe most of what she says. And I think the icing on the cake

turning me against her was Benghazi. I just don't know how as 

a woman, as a mother she could care less about our service men that

were killed. And the fact that she lied about it to the mothers

of those 4 men, that takes a cold heart. 

I thought about maybe I could vote for Rubio but then again, that would

have been 4 years of politicians kissing each others ass and getting

nothing done. So I decided that I needed to support a non-politician

People keep saying he needs to be more "presidential" and he needs 

to stop tweeting. I don't believe that, I think he is an American

who truly loves this country and wants to make it better and

safer for our future. I have grown children and 6 grandchildren so

that matters to me. He doesn't trust the media, he has 1,000

reasons not to trust them. I no longer trust them as they showed 

how they tried to control our thinking.

so President Trump, tweet away!!

I will be honest, I did not support Obama and I never really 

cared for him. I could say a lot of things but I'll only mention the one

thing that really bothered me about him. He promised to get our troops

out of Iraq. That was one of his big platforms

and his supporters were focused on that and preached it

to everyone who would listen. And even though it was Bush

who had signed the agreement to have the troops out by 2011 (?)

he failed to negotitate to keep enough troops in place. I felt like all

he wanted was to be able to say "I fulfilled my promise to get the troops out"

but at what cost......it enabled ISIS to then go in

(who was just forming)

and I'm sure everyone knows had we kept a strong presence over

there, ISIS would not have grown as they have

So I blame Bush and Obama for not protecting our country.

because truth be told, it is not safe

and we need someone to make it safe

Is it Donald Trump....I don't know but at least give someone

else a shot at it. Because as we know, Hillary would not have 

done it.... she would not have grown our military and she would not have protected our military. And if you do not have a strong military force, you don't have a lot of power to protect your country.

When Obama was elected both times I said I would support him

and I would respect him. And I did......maybe between Johnny and I or very

close friends we made jokes but in public, I did not say ugly things and did not make fun of him. I don't think that is the proper thing to do.

 I would not do that to any president and oh my, there have been

plenty that you could! So the things that go around about Trump from

adults that I know has been horrible. Like I can't believe that mature 

adults would say some of the things they say. But that's not my job to judge.

I think the worst thing I have seen through this entire election was

last night on the news, they were live interviewing protesters

there was a child, maybe 11 or 12 years old, it was 9:30 last night

so first thing I thought was why isn't this child at home in bed, it's a school night! Then the reporter asked him why did you set that fire in the street

the child replied "because I can"

and then the reporter asked something about why he was out there

and he replied "because Trump sucks"

you know what, no matter who you support that is sad....and yes

that is the worst thing ever. That child is our future and look what we

have done. So if you choose to go out and protest, which is all of our right to do that, please keep in mind, act as an adult, don't do and say foolish things.
let us keep things civil and respectful. If I went out and acted like a fool
at a protest, I would be terrified of my own children seeing me
act like that......haha!!

All I can say now is I hope as Americans we will support our new president

because hoping he fails as president is hoping our country fails

our people fail and our children fail

Let's try to support Donald Trump and give him a chance

let's act like adults and true Americans because the one ugly

thing that I will say is......if you don't love this country, then leave.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

later.....
