For the last month, I have “given Trump a chance.” I have waited for him and his administration to do anything encouraging. I am still waiting. And I have no more patience. He has proven his administration to be corrupt: White House Chief of Staff Priebus interfered with FBI action, the White House told the DHS to…

Trump’s Immigration Actions Are Only A Distraction
Could Trump — or anyone — explain to me how deporting every illegal alien in this country, or even 50% of those people, is going to improve any aspect of my life? I am honestly trying to see how or if all Trump’s immigration activity is anything but an enormous distraction from the real actions Trump and his Cabinet are…
