A Great Year for America

2017 Has Been a Great Year for America

          As 2017 comes to a close, let’s look back at what a truly remarkable year this has been for America.  The election of Donald Trump as President of the United States has brought many great things for our country.  Since his inauguration last January the economy has boomed and the Bush-Obama Depression is finally over.  By cutting regulations, decreasing corporate tax rates, and eviscerating Obama’s socialized medicine program, we have seen unprecedented improvements in the economy.  The unemployment rate is at record lows, the economy has grown, the stock market has gained 5,000 points in one year for the first time ever and this stronger economy has been able to withstand upward corrections in the prime interest rate.  Illegal immigration has decreased considerably.  Our military has gained strength.  Societal norms have been reestablished and the chilling effect of ‘political correctness’ on free speech has been stifled.  And ISIS, which flourished under Obama, has been wiped from the map.  Our allies respect us and the United Nations no longer holds sway over how we conduct foreign policy, as seen by President Trump’s bold and sensible decision to recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.  What an amazing year for America!

The Agenda for 2018

          There is much to be done in the next year in the quest to Make America Great Again.  First and foremost, Trump must correct the one misstep of his first year…the appointment of Jeff Sessions as Attorney General.  This poor choice ended up as a double whammy for our country…a do-nothing Attorney General plus the loss of the Alabama senate seat.  Sessions must be replaced with a dynamic legal expert like Congressman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina.  Next, the wall along our southern border must be built, chain migration must be ended and limits and strict controls must be placed on immigration in general.  It would be a perfect compromise to allow the ‘Dreamers’ to stay (DACA) in exchange for these immigration reforms, but don’t hold your breath hoping that the Democrats will agree to that.  Speaking of Democrats, we, as Americans, must recognize and come to terms with the fact that there is a large, pervasive and well-organized Socialist/Marxist/Communist movement afoot determined to bring our great country down.  We must deal with this swiftly and decisively, beginning with putting an end to the indoctrination of children in our public schools and institutions of higher learning.  Finally, by year’s end we must show a decrease in the national debt.  If we can do all these things, America truly will be great again and Donald Trump will go down in history as one of our greatest presidents.
