Yikes, a 180 degree flip with China from 50 years ago.

Laurence Vance on Trump’s cabinet.

“The federal government is an invasive, parasitical, inefficient, bungling, destructive monstrosity with no resemblance to the very limited government envisioned by the Founders.

The solution is not to get conservatives, ‘libertarian-leaning’ Republicans, businessmen, intelligent people (Trump has boasted that his cabinet has by far the highest IQ of any cabinet ever assembled), or the ‘right’ people to be in charge of the government’s departments, agencies, bureaus, corporations, commissions, administrations, authorities, boards, and programs. The solution is not to make government more efficient, streamline departments, slow the growth of government, reduce waste, reorganize bureaus, improve government effectiveness, enact a sequester, reform agencies, balance the budget, consolidate agencies, eliminate redundancies, or restructure programs.

The solution is to limit government to its legitimate and constitutional functions by eliminating, abolishing, shutting down, and canceling illegitimate and unconstitutional government agencies, programs, and regulations. Whoever heads government agencies, manages government programs, and issues government regulations is irrelevant if he is not charged with dismantling, ending, and rescinding them.”

I agree with Laurence Vance!

“But Four Paws had achieved the impossible and shone a beacon of humanity into the boiling darkness of Syria’s civil war.”

Awesome animal rescue from the abandoned Aleppo zoo.  I think we can all use a beacon of humanity.

AV àMy world-view must be in polar opposition to essentially to most Americans.  I hate Trump, and no, I realize that is not an isolated opinion.  Where I differ from most is here - I like him a bit more after the press conferences we have seen this past week, not less.  If you disagree, watch what he actually says and familiarize yourself with the racist, fascist despicable Antifa. They are every single bit as bad as the KKK.  Both groups are completely and utterly morally despicable.
