Preaching republicanism to the world

Most Americans ignore the foreign press.  I love Aljazeera which is funded by a friendly government.  I love the Mint Press.  I love the scope of the BBC.  BBC covers the world.  In fact the Brits have been obsessed with American politics.  They love to discuss every aspect of the Trump phenomena.  I compulsively write comments to stories I read on foreign websites,
I try reassure foreigners that Hillary was the demagogue and she is gone from the American scene.  I hope you don't mind that this is a short entry.  Go to Aljazeera.com.   I shouldn't be the only spokesman for the United States.

Balancing the American budget

Funding is the weakest link in Trump's plan.  I loved that TV show with the rude foreign lady.  How will he fund tax cuts, infrastructure spending, and modernizing the military?  The fourth section in trump's plan is the least useful.  He wants NASA to go to Mars and the other planetary bodies.  I have no idea how he will pay for it.  The money Trump spends on NASA provides very few jobs.  I haven't heard of any valuable resources on Mars that can enrich our country.  Sending a rocket to the middle of Death Valley would be cheaper and just as useless.
I think President Trump should defer expanding NASA for now. Privatizing the space program would save loads of money.  Let Jeff Bezos compete with other billionaires for the bragging rights on who will set up a Mars colony first.   I want Trump to focus on rebuilding the rust belt states.

Cheering for our side

The number of Democratic House of Representatives members hasn't been this low since 1929.  Good job, Nancy Pelosi!  One third of Democrats in Congress come from just three states--California, New York, and Massachusetts.  Two thirds of the Democrats in Congress come from the east and west coasts.  I all ready told you that Congressman Ryan has been called a sexist because he is daring to challenge Ms. Pelosi's leadership.  And I have mentioned in the past that President Trump won five times as many counties as Mrs. Clinton.  The media loves to remind us that Mrs. Clinton won the majority in the country.  They usually fail to mention that Trump won a convincing majority in the swing states.  That is where the election was decided.  I hope the Green Party and the Democratic Party spend all of their surplus funds on recounts.  Well, enough gloating.  It is time to win hearts and minds for the next contest.  Here are your marching orders,  Tell someone you have never spoken to about how their lives will get better under Trump.  We need to continue to try and convince Trump that environmental tech can be a source for job growth.  After all, a Republican adminstration created the Environmental Protection Administration.  We need to hammer home the notion that Republicans are the party of Lincoln.  We freed the slaves.  Nixon actively desegregated the schools in the 1970's.  We need to tell workers that Republicans created OSHA.  Republicans care about jobs.  The next election starts now.

Civil rights for Republicans

Have you ever read the BlackLivesMatter twitter site?  I got banned when they found I was white.  I didn't get to finish reading about the three founders.  I wasn't trying to disrupt their dialogue.  I have an insatiable urge for knowledge.  I want to see the world from their point of view.  Okay.  They want to keep the dialogue private.  I will respect their privacy.  Other black organizations are much more willing to let white people in. Another good source of information in my area is the Radio One network.  I used to love to listen to Joe Madison and the founder Kathy.  I can't remember her last name.  She was fascinating and I rarely disagreed with her point of view.  I wish the media would do profiles on the people behind the protests.
If we want to increase the GOP we need to understand the people who oppose us.

A quote from my favorite blogger

We can complain that rose bushes have thorns or rejoice that thorn bushes have roses--Abraham Lincoln.  I love the thoughts for the day on @AllisonMack.

Native American Tragedy

An important part of being a political nerd is to guess what will be the next big issue.  I know that the Standing Rock Sioux tribe opposes the Dakota pipeline but construction is almost complete.  Right or wrong, the story is almost over.  So what will be the next big Native American issue?  I wish I could tell you that the Washington football team was changing their name.  We haven't sold Trump on the importance of getting rid of the racist name.  So what will the next headline be?  President Trump wants to bring back jobs to America.  Native Americans suffer horrendous poverty and super high unemployment.  Why not move some American factories from Mexico to Native American reservations.  Indian casinos and tobacco have been big successes.  Why not lend them money to set up factories?  Reservations will probably be more business-friendly than other parts of the US.  If the tribes become super rich they can buy the Washingon R____.

Not losing Focus on the World

I believe most nations in the world will be happy with Donald Trump's isolationism.  Americans still need to watch the world's hotspots.  Pick a continent and send me an email if you discover a major story that affects the US.  We don't want to interfere in other countries but we have to be ready.  That is why our isolationist president plans to modernize the armed forces.  Sooner or later some country will hijack a Navy ship or attack an embassy.
Trump may be isolationist but he will make an example of any nation that is foolish enough to attack the US.
