A response to President Trump’s Oval Office Address



Last night, January 8, President Donald Trump delivered his first Oval Office Address to the American people. 

In his speech, Trump outlined the humanitarian and border security crisis on the U.S. Southern Border with Mexico. Not only did he explain the economic cost of not having a wall on our border, he explained the human cost as well for both American citizens and the people making the trek to enter the United States illegally.

Shortly after Trump’s address, Democrat leaders House Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer gave their rebuttal, claiming Trump was lying throughout his speech.

That is a lie.

Trump discussed the facts about the border security crisis facing the United States and the American people. Women and children are harmed traveling to the United States illegally. Illegal immigration drives down jobs and wages for American workers, especially among African Americans and Mexicans in the United States.

So what does it mean if Congress and the Senate approved the $5.7 billion Trump demands for border security and a wall?

At the start of “The Story with Martha MacCallum” that aired yesterday, January 8, a graph showed that the U.S. federal budget is at $4.4 trillion. That is a lot of money, and it is a shame it is even that high in the first place.

As the graph showed, while the $5.7 billion Trump demands for a border wall is a lot of many as well, it is less than one percent of the federal budget. 

Yet the Democrats were willing to pass a bill that gave over $12 billion in aid to foreign countries. 

Where does that money come from?

Clearly, the Democrats are more interested in helping foreigners than normal American citizens. 

Again, where is that money coming from?

It comes from American taxpayers. Elitist politicians like Democrats and establishment Republicans like taxing us for programs doomed to fail. ObamaCare failed, and we suffered for it.

Do Democrats honestly believe their so-called “Green New Deal” would be any better? It would rises taxes for rich and poor alike and raise the federal debt into hundreds of trillions of dollars by forcing every American to stop using electricity and fossil fuels.

It wouldn’t surprise me if millions of Americans refuse to comply with the “Green new Deal” i

The $5.7 billion for border security isn’t just going towards a wall. It is for hiring more Border Patrol agents so that every mile of the Southern Border is manned. It also goes toward new technology for surveillance and to detect drugs crossing the border.

President Trump is determined to combat illegal immigration and the drugs pouring into the United States like heroin and cocaine. He is working to build a wall, a promise he ran on as a candidate back in 2016. He is doing the right thing by not giving in to the Democrats’ demands to stop pushing for a border wall.

This partial government shutdown is Trump’s only chance to secure border wall funding

He needs us, the American people, to support him and take action to stop the crisis at our border, which has affected every part of our country.

Movie Review: The 5th Wave as Anti-Military propaganda

This article was originally published on June 9, 2017. Normally a story that involves humans fighting seemingly invincible aliens warrants a good story. You'd also think the military would be there to protect Americans. But before long, it becomes clear to the protagonists in “The 5th Wave (2016)” that Americans should resist the military, that the soldiers are the real enemy to humanity. "The 5th Wave," based on the Rick Yancey novel of the same name, follows a long line of Hollywood's assaults on the honor and integers of the brave men and women who fight for their country. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood hasn't limited their attacks to five. The film centers around a young girl who sets out to find her brother after their father is killed in a massacre carried out by military forces. Right after the parents do the natural thing and resist being separated from their children forever. This is the director's way of telli...

Life and Persecution: Some so-called Catholics that should be excommunicated

(This article was originally published on January 20, 2018) The Roman Catholic Church has seen its share of good and bad times. Yet the Catholic Church has survived for over 2,000 years, from the persecution by the Roman Empire to the rise and fall of Communism.  Yesterday, January 19, young Catholic men and women across the United States joined tens of thousands of other young adults in the 45th March for Life. Even those who were unable to march continue to support the pro-life cause and live their Catholic faith everyday of their lives. All of these men and women—Catholics, Christians, and non-Christians alike—showed our country that there are plenty of Millennials stand up for the unborn and want to end legalized abortion in the United States. Catholics should be proud of their heritage as Catholics and to call themselves Catholic. They are part of the majority of lay people who really do their best to live and practice their Catholic faith. But ...
