President Obama’s last days of chaos
President Obama and his administration have made it painfully clear that his last days in office will be consumed by attacking President-Elect Donald Trump, and doing as much more damage to America as he can – along with hateful liberal Democrats in Congress -- leaving a legacy of social, political, economic, anger, division and chaos with our domestic and national security.
Indeed, Mr. Obama’s legacy will be replete with an explosion of serious crimes committed by blacks and Hispanics, enormous increases of blacks in movies, television series, commercials and the overall entertainment industry with an emphasis on black lives and open borders as the only things that matter – regardless of the deaths and damages inflicted on society.
Worse, the outgoing president will be responsible for the proliferation of ISIS and terrorism in America and throughout the world – the Florida airport ISIS assassinations, Orlando police officer assassination, the Chicago murder rate, and the vicious racial hate crimes against a mentally disabled white male by four black males and females being the latest cases of hate and violence.
And he says he will remain in Washington to keep up what has become his reckless and ruinous work against America -- with his former attorney general, Eric Holder taking up the defense of California’s un-American activities – as the painful beat goes on and on – liberal press included…. Thankfully, our new president, Twitter Trump will be in office soon – hopefully, backed by a Republican Congress with guts!

John Kerry: Un-American
Secretary of State John Kerry proved that he is un-American by his stance against Israel in the United Nations move to condemn Israel’s settlements wherein President Obama’s administration abstained from the vote. Of course, this is nothing new for Kerry or Obama since they are both anti-American.
Indeed, John Kerry demonstrated being anti-American when, as a member of the U.S. military, he came out against the Viet Nam war testifying against America before Congress. Since then, he became a U.S. Senator, married a wealthy business woman and continued undermining America.
Worse, Kerry stands with President Obama’s insidious legacy – with a Democrat Congress -- of war against America’s military, economy, healthcare, police, domestic security -- and national security -- by proliferating the rise of radical Islamic terrorism against America and the world.
Fortunately, the American people fought back and elected Donald Trump as the next president. Alas, with President Trump and a Republican Congress, we will survive, recover, be strong and prosper again with true freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Obama and Brown’s spite
President Obama has commuted 178 felony prisoners’ sentences, and California Gov. Jerry Brown has commuted one felon’s sentence and pardoned a total of 1,258 felony prisoners in spiteful acts against the public’s interests and safety – striking dangerous blows against our domestic security.
Coupled with AB 109 and Proposition 47, Brown has released thousands of felons to prey upon the people of California.
Even worse, President Obama failed to veto a bad U.N. resolution to spite Israel, while Governor Brown continues to bolster sanctuary cities throughout the state, further endangering our national security against terrorism.
Indeed, the only thing Mr. Obama has left to do against America is to empty Guantanamo and pardon Bergdahl, Manning, and Snowden to secure his destructive legacy against America and the world – not mention doubling the national debt -- while none dare call it treason.

President Obama’s damage
President Obama is bent on doing as much damage to America as he can before leaving office. Indeed, his latest edicts, commutations and pardons are designed to inflict as much damage as possible to the oil industry and America’s domestic security.
Coupled with eight years of relentless attacks against America’s coal, oil and gas energy resources, releasing criminal predators upon the public, and his war against America’s police, he has recklessly inflicted untold damage against our society, our economy and our safety.
Worse, Mr. Obama has intentionally allowed open borders and sanctuary cities and marijuana to flourish, subjecting our people to increased gangs, crime, drugs, murder and the infection of our children without remorse.
Even worse, President Obama has inflicted deadly damage on our national security by blatantly allowing the proliferation of ISIS against the Middle East, America and the world by unleashing relentless attacks against Christians and humanity.
Alas, Obama’s last act of defiance will likely be to empty Guantanamo and to pardon blatant traitors Bergdahl, Manning and Snowden.

President Obama’s press conference
President Obama’s last press conference was obviously rigged with predetermined questions from the White House (Pravda) Press Corps. All Mr. Obama wanted to talk about was his feigned accomplishments, which were done despite his abuse of power and deceit.
And his press complied with questions about Russia hacking the election, helping Syrian refugees and criticizing President-elect Trump in disguise. Too much for one reporter who fainted.
Indeed, there were no questions or answers about national and domestic security to wit: the deadly world plague of ISIS terrorism, or the American plague of crime and drugs, all created and highly intensified by President Obama’s gross failures.
America’s worst president, indeed.

California vs. America
State’s rights is one thing, however California leaving the union is not idle talk. Indeed, the once golden state has been turned into a dictatorial state with a socialist Democrat governor and supermajority legislature rejecting the U.S. Constitution and federal law – which for all intents and purposes means that it has been a separate nation for a long time – increasingly abusing most of our citizens with punishing taxes and regulations, and a relentless invasion of illegal immigrants, exposing us to an increasing epidemic of crime.
As for the remainder of America, Socialist Democrat President/King Barrack Obama has done nearly the same thing as California has done in just under 8 years to the other 49 states. Indeed, the first black president has gone to the extremes of making African-Americans superior to all other races, dominating everything with about 14 percent of the population – believing all others are inferior racists.
Indeed, our nation has yet to suffer the full consequences of Mr. Obama’s insidious superiority complex reign, which would have been even worse with the insidious superiority complex of the first woman president, Hillary Clinton. Thank God, hopefully, President-elect Donald Trump’s “Make America great again’ complex and a Republican Congress will save us, our national/domestic security and the country.

Trump should put loyal backers in top spots
Donald Trump’s top priorities should be to dump hypocritical Romney from Secretary of State consideration, nominate Gen. David H. Petraeus to the position as a national security warrior secretary of state against ISIS, Syria, Russia and Iran, and pick former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani as the leader of Homeland Security for our domestic security.
And pick Newt Gingrich as his top White House advisor.

Stein/Clinton insult voters
It is bad enough that Hillary Clinton sent her supporters on a devious mission to intimidate Donald Trump electors into changing their votes to Clinton.
Now Clinton’s failed Green Party candidate, Jill Stein has launched a recount campaign to topple Donald Trump’s election in the key states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, which is undoubtedly at Hillary Clinton’s direction and will be joined by Clinton’s supporters.
Surely, bitter Hillary Clinton refuses to accept the decision of Trumps electors and voters, even though she said that the only reason she relented and conceded the election was at the urging of President Obama.
All the more reasons that Donald Trump is saving America from Obama’s ruinous record and an ultra-dangerous election of Clinton. Indeed, January 20th, 2017 can’t come soon enough for America to reform, recover and prosper.

From Obama to Trump
During the Clinton-caused economic meltdown and presidential election of 2008, the Democrat Party, and the insidious media, Hollywood and Academia cartel seized on the politically correct opportunity to elect Senator Barrack Obama as the first black president of the United States.
Of course, the cartel knew that President Obama would lead into the two-term tyrannies of overwhelming government together with the first term Democrat Congress establishing forced national health care, the wars on coal energy and finance industry, and unconstitutional wars against small business and hardworking Americans.
Worse, the second term was replete with a war against the police, surrendering the war against terrorism in the Middle East causing the rise of ISIS, terrorist attacks here and around the world, and his deadly deal with nuclear Iran.
Fortunately, the arrogant and un-American cartel failed to elect evil Hillary Clinton as the first woman president.
Indeed, real American states and voters rejected the cartel and the deeply corrupted Clintons, elected the Donald Trump, Mike Pence team, and retained the Republican Congress to bring back America from the edge of social, political and economic ruin. Clearly, there is hope to rebuild and to restore our national and domestic security.
And, to increase our efforts to make America great again – the way we once were, before the Democrats turned to the ruinous socialist devil….

Hispanic, radical left anarchy
The core of anarchy, demonstrations, riots and violence against president elect, Donald Trump rests with Hispanics, mostly students and illegals.
Obviously, the anarchy has expanded throughout the country. Most disturbing is the organized Hispanic anarchy in Los Angeles, led by Union Del Barrio furthering the aggression of La Raza, which is intent on taking back California, New Mexico, Texas and the West, taken from Mexico by the Mexican American War.
Indeed, other groups carrying large Mexican flags, they express hatred for the (imperialism) of the U.S. government, including the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton, and of course Donald Trump. Del Barrio organized the current demonstrations in Los Angeles, including the violence.
Considering the vast numbers of Hispanic illegals in America, liberal sanctuary cities, and the fragmented enforcement of the border and ICE, this post presidential election has become a real and present danger to America and our people. Decisive action to preserve national and domestic security is vital.
Worse, anti-American George Soros and his wild Democrat billionaire donor bunch are financing the radical left’s anarchy, dangerously exacerbated by the liberal media.
Coupled with California’s liberal Democrat government turning a blind eye to the release of criminal illegals from prison, refusing to cooperate with U.S. immigration laws, the legalization of marijuana, punishing taxation against tobacco smokers, the enormous cost if miseducation, and war of treacherous teacher unions’ war against non-union charter schools, California taxpayers and the people lose.

Surely, both of those high school and college students should be expelled. Free speech simply doesn’t apply.

Execution of Sgt. Owen
As a retired law enforcement officer, I am outraged by the execution of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Sgt. Owen by a career criminal who should not have been out of prison. Indeed, it is obvious and frightening that President Obama and California Governor Brown are responsible for the executioner’s heinous act because of Obama’s war against the police and Brown turning violent criminals loose to prey upon Californians and the American people.
Clearly, Sgt. Owen’s blood is on their reckless hands, and those are crimes against society and the people.
Worse, the assassination of many police officers throughout the country has been brought on by President Obama’s aggressive Black Lives Matter movement and the Attorney General. It doesn’t matter to Mr. Obama or Mr. Brown that the police are the first line of defense against terrorists, invaders and criminals in America.
Of course, the reasons for increased crime is because of President Obama’s edicts to release violent federal prisoners. Likewise, Governor Brown’s AB 109 – and related legislation -- Proposition 47 and the current ballot initiative, Proposition 57, have and will release thousands of felony state prisoners. Indeed, the public and police are being placed at ever increasing risk.
Surely, both President Obama and Governor Brown must be replaced by responsible people of real character and integrity – federal and state guardians and patriots.

The war on police is anarchy
The insidious war on police fomented by President Obama is anarchy. Recklessly attacking our first line of defense is un-American and places America in danger in these perilous times of terrorism. Indeed, the latest attack, a deputy sheriff’s sergeant was shot in Lancaster.
As a retired 41-year veteran in law enforcement and the criminal justice system, I am deeply troubled and offended by what has been going on throughout President Obama’s two terms in office, which has put my family and fellow Americans in extreme peril.
Clearly, Mr. Obama is not only responsible for increasing violent crimes and murders, he is responsible for Russian aggression, a nuclear Iran and the proliferation of ISIS and terrorism in the world.

Wrecking crew against America
President Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton, and Governor Brown are the primary wrecking crew against America, as follows:
President Obama has damaged the freedoms of Americans with the reckless, unconstitutional actions against our economy, our energy resources, our national security and our domestic security with executive orders and edicts, wars against coal and oil, finance, healthcare, the police – diminishing our border security, military defenses, allowing the proliferation of ISIS terrorism – releasing criminals to prey on the people, and imposing punishing regulations and taxes.
As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton participated in the proliferation of ISIS terrorism, and used and abused her office for the Clinton Foundation and personal gain. As a candidate for president, she intends to assign the economy to her former president husband, Bill Clinton, who is directly responsible for the 2008 economic collapse, by forcing banks and mortgage lenders to give unaffordable home loans to unqualified buyers in mass.
California Governor Jerry Brown is a major player in the wrecking crew against California and America with economy-busting, punishing taxation, regulations, bullet train and water tunnel bond scams, $billions in the miseducation of students, high energy costs, releasing criminals to prey on Californians, lack of border security, support of sanctuary cities, and threats to our national and domestic security.
Indeed, the unconscionable Democrat Party and the liberal press covers for the un-American trio and all who support continued attacks against the people. Attention voters: wise up and don’t commit voter-assisted suicide by electing or re-electing more of the same poison to our freedom and liberty.

President Obama’s carefully articulated sermon at the memorial for the five assassinated Dallas police officers was nothing more than a veiled attempt to justify his underlying contempt for law enforcement – the rule of law’s first line of defense.
Considering President Obama’s divisive history with race relations, and his hateful war against the police, at this point, it’s gone too far. Indeed, he must pull back the militant Black Lives Matter movement for the good of the nation before it’s too late.

Culture warriors can save U.S.
As President Obama’s corrosive legacy continues to bulldoze the best interests of the American people, we are painfully reminded of just how insidious overwhelming government can be. It is not so different from the tyrannical government that inspired the American Revolution.
Indeed, Mr. Obama’s arrogant monarchial reign and reckless, narcissistic pursuit of a legacy has been bent on increasing government attacks on our social, political and economic freedoms with unconstitutional executive orders, taxes and regulations. Worse, Mr. Obama has been undermining our economic security with his “climate change” hoax and its wars on oil, coal and natural gas in favor of costly and unreliable solar and wind. This constitutes an overall attack on our economy and cost of living.
Even worse, President Obama has divided our nation, conducted a wars on the police and our domestic security, and critically compromised our national defense, military strength and readiness. His expanding romance with Communist nations – Russia, China, Cuba and Viet Nam -- is surpassed only by his record of allowing the unbridled growth of the Taliban, al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Our only hope after President Obama’s 8-year war on America, is to reject the continued socialism of Clinton/Sanders and elect conservatives to government. Otherwise we will be committing voter-assisted social, political and economic suicide.
Unfortunately, most of my state of California has long been in the forefront of socialism, with overbearing government attacking the people and business with punishing taxes and regulations, and allowing crime to flourish. Fortunately, there is an island of hope in most of San Bernardino and our Victor Valley high desert community. Here have solid conservatives both in office and running for office, which is comforting in a world fraught with fear and evil.
Hopefully, there are enough culture warriors remaining our country to overcome our enemies. This November, vote Trump and vote Republican.

Propaganda vs. reality
Wow! It was a wingnut love fest today, March 24, for the Cranky Old White Men of Apple Valley. All three spewing their vitriol, intolerance, and ignorance on the same editorial page. I really did not read their letters all the way through, since their diatribes are as predictable and trite as all the others they have written. They are a template of the Repugnican (as in Repugnant) propaganda spewed daily by Fox News: President Obama is the worst person in the world who is destroying the USA single-handedly; ObamaCare is the worst government program in the world; all the world’s ills can be blamed on the liberals; Repugnicans good, Democrats evil.
The Crankies, you see, are members of the GOP — God’s Only People. Only they have the God-given right to rule America. Only their candidates should win. Only their opinions matter, since they possess superior knowledge over all of us who don’t agree with them. In other words, they possess no democratic instincts whatsoever. They are inerrant. It’s all about them. We who think differently than they do don’t matter.
I am guessing, though, that these three have it made. They never had is so good, but that doesn’t stop the gritching and groaning. They love their socialist programs, Social Security and Medicare, even though they paid in a lot less than they will receive. They live in the Fox News twilight zone of balanced government budgets, the end of welfare and food stamps, big concealed weapons and big, high walls on the border.
Boys, why don’t you go to the library and educate yourselves. The world doesn’t revolve around you. All the modern, progressive things we take for granted — Social Security, 40-hour work week, Medicare, family leave, ban on child labor, unemployment insurance, auto safety, etc. — sprang from liberal, progressive thinking. Your side of the political equation comes up with nothing except tax cuts for the rich, which have just worked wonders, haven’t they? Please take off your Fox News-colored glasses and experience reality.

Condescending diatribe
Hesitant to lower myself to a writer’s level, I seldom, if ever, engage in personal debates with the left. However his personal attacks are beyond the pale.
His spiteful condescending diatribe against conservative letter-writers is painful evidence of his indoctrination as one of useful idiots of the far left, which is a clear and present danger to our society and America.
Surely, his scurrilous comments about “cranky old white men of Apple Valley” and the “GOP God’s Only People” are blatantly racist and bigoted -- unfortunately, expected from the hateful Left.
It’s a shame that he doesn’t appreciate being published in a conservative, libertarian newspaper.
Indeed, his hypocrisy is the result of a vast infection spread by the un-American discrimination of the intolerant left, which is carried by government, the news media, the education establishment and the entertainment industry.

Kasich our last chance
Who will be elected president in 2016? Considering the probable nominees, it doesn’t look good for America. Clinton or Trump? No!
Unfortunately, too may clueless and indoctrinated voters influenced by biased media will go along with lemming voter-assisted suicide. Why? It already happened with two-term President Obama: Social, political, economic, domestic and national security disasters.
Worse, the state of the Republican Party, Democrat Party and outsiders in the presidential election have created a Trump-driven, ringmaster-cheapened political circus with ugly side-shows, making it painfully clear that America is steeped in election trouble.
The news media, of course, are exacerbating the dilemma. It’s time for voters to get our act together and promote real democracy wherein we decide -- not the personal power-hungry narcissistic fools running our country into the ground….
Sen. Rubio or Sen. Cruz are OK alternatives, particularly against Corrupt Hillary Clinton or socialist Bernie Sanders.
However, Ohio Gov. John Kasich is the only grounded, qualified candidate with the character, integrity and deeply proven federal and state government experience to pull our country together against government self-destruction, economic ruin and terrorism.

Apple vs. America
Apple’s refusal to co-operate with the FBI regarding the encrypted phone records of the San Bernardino, CA terrorists is simply un-patriotic and un-American.
Particularly, in the insidious climate of national security failures created by President Obama’s dereliction of duty over the past seven years of fundamentally and dangerously transforming America.
Surely, Apple and all American tech companies should be working hard with our domestic and national security officials to prevent terrorist attacks, and to attack terrorists working to hack and attack us, our government, businesses, power grids and our freedom.
Indeed, President Obama is directly responsible for the rise and proliferation of al-Qaeda, ISIS and terrorism in the Middle-East, America and throughout the world – and the criminal invasion across our borders -- which are tantamount to treason.
Clearly, if it were not for this climate of treason, there would have been no post-2008 traitors such as the terrorist attacks in America at Fort Hood, Texas, San Bernardino – and no traitors such as Manning and Snowden – or the aggression of Russia, North Korea and China – or peace with Communist Cuba.
Alas, the liberal media should be ashamed for supporting the treasonous, as should Hollywood for supporting the government-caused fall of the economy, and Oliver Stone for his un-American activities and for glorifying Traitor Edward Snowden.
Enough! Voters must wise-up and elect a patriotic Republican president and Congress in the 2016 elections. For our survival….

Obama’s Gitmo legacy
Re: “Obama’s Guantanamo plan hits wall of opposition” [Front page, Feb. 24]:
President Obama doesn’t miss a beat in orchestrating his insidious legacy of fundamentally transforming America.
Indeed, he is determined to release more terrorists from Guantanamo back into rejoining the terrorist jihad against America and the West, and transferring the remaining terrorists to federal prisons – increasing the danger to our people.
Of course, if the Congress does not approve Mr. Obama’s proposed actions to close Guantanamo, he will surely circumvent the Congress and the Constitution again with his all-too-frequent monarchial executive actions.
Edited out: [Surely, President Obama intends to give Guantanamo back to Communist Cuba to complete reconciliation with the insidious Castro regime.]

Revolting development scenarios
By Daniel B. Jeffs
The rise of uncivilized Islamic assaults on civilization in the world, have been exacerbated by the rise of uncivilized technology resulting in superficial societies of selfish interests, social aggression, political tyranny, economic stress and extremes – particularly in America.
Indeed, America -- the model and historical leader of peace and freedom in the world -- has been severely undermined by the post-WWII cultural revolution resulting in tearing down our established institutions, corrupting our society and diminishing our freedoms.
Clearly, the revolting developments have been caused by social, political and economic extremists from the 1960’s and 70’s, who spawned countercultural hate and decay in society and government, leaving America vulnerable to attack by enemies from within and the outside.
Which leads us the revolting political developments of now and how we got here. Alas, most Democrats have made a costly mess of things, and most Republicans have been less than efficient in cleaning it up. The best of both have been Kennedy and Reagan. The worst: Carter, Clinton and Obama.
Surely, the best outcome for the 2016 presidential election would be either Rubio, Kasich, Christie or Fiorina. The worst would be Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, with Barack Obama on the Supreme Court. The elephant in the room isn’t really an elephant. He’s certainly not a Trump card. He’s a dangerous anomaly.
Presidential race to oblivion?
It’s still the economy, stupid is not Hillary Clinton’s truth any more than it was in 1992, when Bill Clinton schemed his way into the presidency, then undermined the economy by causing the unaffordable housing and financial collapse of 2008.
Indeed, the counter cultural revolution and decades of extremist and socialist indoctrination by the miseducation and media cartel came to fruition with the 2008 election of Barack Obama, humiliating John McCain and the bumbling Republican Party, and assigning Hillary Clinton to dismantle foreign policy and escalate terrorism.
Now, the 2016 presidential race to America’s oblivion is on again, with corruption-in-her-heart and fire-in-her-eyes Hillary Clinton leading, challenged by the cranky old socialist Bernie Sanders and his wild-young indoctrinated crowd of supporters.
Of course, they’re being chased by a narrowing herd of patriotic Republicans, stampeded by wheeler-dealer Donald Trump, and struggling to gain traction with Cruz, Rubio, Carson, Christie and Kasich – with a Bush in the background.
Alas, the liberal media curse is the venomous snake in the grass that will frighten the voter multitude all the way through to the poisoned finish line. Hopefully, the American voters will be concerned enough to find the antidote and a way back to the strong tradition of who we are: Home of the brave and land of the free.
Question is, who will it be? First woman,? first Hispanic? or who? -- I vote for Kasich/Fiorina, for political sanity.

Clinton election would be suicide
We are the American people!
President Obama is a rogue, lawless president, blatantly abusing his executive power, circumventing the Constitution, and contaminating most, if not all, departments of our government -- primarily the DOD, DOJ, EPA, FCC, Homeland Security and the Bureau of Prisons -- which have severely weakened our domestic and national security.
And that, for lack of a better term -- exacerbating the terrorist threat in an era of escalating terrorism -- is recklessly un-American, tantamount to treason.
Indeed, replacing President Obama with Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election would be voter-assisted suicide for our nation.
Therefore, our duty as voters is to elect a highly qualified Republican patriotic dynamic duo from the field of candidates: Sen. Rubio, Gov. Christie, Gov. Kasich and Carly Fiorina as president and vice president to save and recover the United States of America, as intended by our Founders….
Regardless, we will have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year of determination, simply because we are the American people….

Close the borders
With the madness of terrorism out of control in the world, it has now become a foregone conclusion that President Obama is resigned to leaving America vulnerable to inevitable ISIS attacks on our homeland.
Therefore, Congress must take action to slam the doors on our borders with Canada and Mexico, and to stop all refugees and immigration from other countries to protect our nation from the evil of ISIS.
Of course that means no refugees from Syria or anywhere until ISIS and all of our enemies are defeated. When it’s a matter of them or us, we must prevail with whatever it takes, as we have always done.

Obama’s legacy
President Obama is simply a phony president, deceiving the American people during his entire time in office, from Obamacare to global warming, from social engineering to the economy, from his limp responses to Russia’s aggression to being aloof to fighting terrorism.
Indeed, Mr. Obama’s meeting with the families of the San Bernardino terror victims is a matter indifference and convenience, little more than a pit stop on his way to a family vacation in Hawaii, all the while being obsessed by finishing his legacy.
Worse, our nation will be in unnecessary peril until he leaves office. Coupled with the 90’s corrosive counterculture Clinton administration, President Obama’s cultural abscess has been exacerbated by social divisions, abdicating his duty to domestic and national security.

Proud of police response to SB attack
As a San Bernardino County resident and retired law enforcement officer with 41 years of service with the Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Departments and the criminal justice system, I am proud of the immediate and courageous response of San Bernardino Police Department to the terrorist attack killing 14 people, injuring 21. And for the rapid follow-up investigation resulting in the deaths of the two terrorists.
I am also grateful for the other law enforcement agencies who assisted in the response, and for the intense, ongoing FBI investigation. However, I am deeply concerned for my family and fellow citizens.
Indeed, the San Bernardino terrorist attack highlights President Obama’s feckless lack of an aggressive plan against terrorism. In the aftermath of the San Bernardino massacre, President Obama’s speech to the country was little more than meaningless babble masking the fact that he wants to disarm Americans more than prevailing against terrorism.
The Obama administration has grossly failed America’s national and domestic security by reducing our military strength, allowing the proliferation of ISIS, not enforcing border security and conducting an unjust war against our police, diminishing our domestic security.

Surely, what needs to end is the era of President Obama’s damage to our security, society, our economy and our future.
And that ideology and philosophy of promoting the climate change hustle and disarming Americans must end with the end of Mr. Obama’s second term in office….

Tax and regulation nation
California Governor Brown and President Obama are the amoral poster governor and president for putting our already over-taxed and over-regulated state and nation into overdrive during their corrosive terms in office. Indeed, coupled with an un-American Socialist-Democrat-controlled Legislature and Congress, they have caused overwhelming damage to businesses, the economy and the American people.
Worse, Brown and Obama have recklessly diminished our domestic and national security, with open borders, sanctuary cities, reduced military, and wars against the police. And both continue promoting the climate change hustle, by taxing the economy and our lives. Even worse, while President is responsible for the proliferation of ISIS and terrorism, he blames it on climate change and travels the world criticizing America for everything.
Clearly, our only solution rests with voters, who until now have been dominated by indoctrinated liberals -- who carelessly rubberstamp the personal power of the enemy within -- blindly committing social, political, moral and economic suicide, taking the rest of us with them. Hopefully, enough damage will wake them up to defending themselves, surviving, recovering and prospering by changing and reducing government to no more than we need.

County’s refugee awareness
Slam the door to terrorists and criminals in California
President Obama urging America to open its arms to Syrian refugees and “….lift them up” is a profound hypocrisy after letting Syrians down in the Syrian civil war creating ISIS and the devastation that followed including the terrorist attacks in Paris. Indeed, California leads the states in Backing the president’s efforts.
Therefore, Governor Brown welcoming the most Syrian refugees of any state since the civil war broke out in 2011 comes as no surprise. Furthermore, California has the open door policy to refugees and illegal immigrants, inviting whatever evils that come along with them, from criminals to gangs, to drug smuggling, to human trafficking, and terrorists.
Worse, regardless of the Syrian refugee connection to the Paris terrorist attacks -- and most state governors refusing to accept Syrian refugees -- Governor Brown vowed to work with President Obama in accepting them, leaving our San Bernardino County unaware of most refugees who enter the County.
Even worse, like the illegal alien criminal who murdered a Californian U.S. citizen in San Francisco, with little or no protest from Californians, one wonders how far the controlling Democrat liberal infection here will affect the prevention of ISIS attacks in California, including San Bernardino County and our high desert communities….
It’s past time to slam the door to terrorists and criminals in California and America….

Terrorist treachery in Paris. Ten thousand Syrian refugees here?
The tragedy of ISIS terrorist attacks in Paris highlights the alarming advances of fanatical Islamic treachery in the West, furthering their march toward an unencumbered virtual reality of convert or die world domination against infidels.
Worse, the infectious spread of ISIS Sunni’s in the Middle East, coupled with competing terrorism from Iranian and Syrian Shiites, backed by Russia, foments historical tribal struggles which can easily metastasize into a coordinated effort against the great Satan – America!
Exacerbated by President Obama’s incompetent foreign policy, America’s historic role of power in keeping world peace has been compromised by weakness in the Obama administration’s, preoccupation with personal power and the blind pursuit of a legacy….
All of which, coupled with Mr. Obama’s abdication of responsibility, undermining our energy resources, lack of cyber security, Edward Snowden’s treason -- reduced military defense, national security, domestic security – and 7 years of open borders, leaves our country openly vulnerable to terrorism.
Indeed, the inescapable conclusion: Exacerbated by President Obama recklessly accepting 10,000 refugees here -- terrorist included -- adds to ISIS already being here, everywhere and ready to roll….

America in peril
President Obama made it painfully clear when he helped remove the dictators of Egypt and Libya and encouraged the Arab Spring to spread throughout the Middle East, that he would do nothing about the proliferation of terrorism when he neglected to stop the spread of ISIS from Syria into Iraq.
Furthermore, Mr. Obama endorsed Morsi as president of Egypt, and with it, the Muslim Brotherhood, which resulted in the expansion of al-Qaeda and the entry of ISIS into Egypt -- and most probably, resulted in the bombing of the Russian airliner.
Surely, President Obama is simply not dealing with the aggression and threats from ISIS, Iran or Russia, which creates more and more danger for the world. Most certainly, his unabated incompetence has failed our national and domestic security, which places America in grave, ever-increasing peril.
Alas, the president’s feckless administration is in the last round of a legacy that has done serious damage by reducing America to a quasi-socialist state pushing a superficial society of selfish interests, social aggression, political chaos, and economic instability – a perfect handover to a Saul Alinsky-loving first woman president by the name of Hillary Clinton.

Border control needed
The debate between GOP presidential contenders Donald Trump and Jeb Bush over deporting 12 million illegal immigrants is a moot point, particularly when the fundamental problem has been the lack of border security since President Reagan granted amnesty to 3 million illegal immigrants with the understanding that there would be border security.
Of course, it has become painfully clear that the border was not secured -- coupled with years of feckless attempts at immigration reform -- resulting in the 12 million or more illegal immigrants in America.
And illegal immigration is growing at an alarming rate. Currently, this is because of President Obama’s continued record of little or no border enforcement, unsuccessful deportations, and his attempt to grant amnesty to 5 million illegals.
Ironically, Mr. Trump’s suggestion to build a border wall would go a long way to solving the problem, particularly because of the increasing threats to our domestic and national security in this age of crime and terrorism.
After all, it is a significant responsibility of the president to resolve problems – and President Obama creates problems, yet resolves none, which is also Hillary Clinton’s main problem….

Monumental abuse of power
Senator Dianne Feinstein and President Obama have abused their power under the Antiquities Act to create massive national monuments to themselves throughout the United States and California restricting recreation and mining on federal lands. Indeed, the Antiquities Act was passed in 1906 to protect “historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures and other objects of historic or scientific interest,” including sensitive Native American artifacts.
The need for protecting the Grand Canyon with Arizona’s proposed Greater Grand Canyon National Heritage Act under the Antiquities Act notwithstanding, there is a need to pass HR 3668, the California Minerals, Off-Road Recreation and Conservation Act, introduced by our California Representative Paul Cook to preserve our majestic landscape, while addressing the needs off-road vehicle users and the protection of economically vital mineral sites.
President Obama’s monumental agenda is rooted in his war against coal energy and oil exploration -- with deceptive distractions such as the San Gabriel National Monument, and the recently established 704,000 acre monument in Nevada – while Senator Feinstein focuses on our Mojave Desert lands as her personal monument. Though I’m not a fan of off-road racing and dangerous thrill-seeking, I support people’s use of off-road vehicles to safely explore our deserts and mountains – and I certainly support our economic interests in vital minerals and mining.

Hillary Clintons deceptions covering her failings in the Benghazi terrorist attack will not affect her being anointed by the liberal media as the first woman president, just as they did with Barack Obama as the first black president.
The only thing that could derail her candidacy would be an indictment as a result of the FBI/DOJ investigation into her national security email violations, which is unlikely. President Obama won’t allow that to taint his manufactured legacy.
Unfortunately for Mr. Obama, true history will not smile kindly upon an unworthy president with a feckless foreign and domestic policy who put America in great peril.

Failed Afghanistan policy
Against the advice of his generals, President Obama is cutting U.S. forces in Afghanistan by half, but changed his plans to evacuate, leaving 5,000 troops until 2017. That meager force will do nothing to change the plans of the Taliban and ISIS to take-over the country.
And, of course, it will leave the carnage for the next president to deal with.

President Obama’s perfect record
In President Obama’s press conference October 2, 2015, he made it abundantly clear that he will not oppose Putin’s military support of Syria’s dictator, which is consistent with Obama’s perfect record of standing back from the fight against all Islamic terrorist organizations in the Middle East.
Indeed, President Obama’s lack of action and weak foreign policy is responsible for the birth of the so-called “Arab Spring” bringing down the dictators of Egypt, Libya and other nations resulting in the proliferation of the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda, other terrorist groups and the seed and proliferation of ISIS. All of which results in the sad conclusion that, although dictators are mostly bad, in the Islamic Middle East they have historically prevented the terror that reigns there today.
Alas, it is painfully clear that if the Shah of Iran had not been removed by the Ayatollah Khomeini who established a radical Islamic state -- which is now the chief sponsor of terrorism in the world – sworn to destroy Israel and America, our 9/11 efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq would not be so much in vain, and the Middle East would not have exploded into Islamic terrorism against the World.

Prosecute Clinton gang
Former president Bill Clinton, AG Janet Reno, HUD director and Andrew Cuomo Intimidated banks and mortgage lenders into giving home loans to unqualified buyers to promote Clinton's unaffordable housing scheme, which was carried out by co-conspirator Fannie Mae chairman and CEO, Franklin Raines, and perpetuated by congressional finance chairmen, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, until the housing and finance crash of 2008. Indeed, Raines consulted with Senator Obama during his campaign for president, and the collapse was wrongly blamed on President Bush and Wall Street – thus Obama won the election.
President Bush attempted to stop the runaway housing problem, but was stopped by Frank and Dodd, who ended up authoring the Dodd/Frank finance act so President Obama could control the banks. The Entire insidious, deceitful plan was perpetuated throughout the Obama administration, which fueled the Occupy Wall Street movement and the call for the prosecution of Wall Street executives. Now late in Obama’s distraction legacy game, his Justice Department is targeting executives for prosecution, when they should be targeting the Clinton gang, and probably Obama before the bigger crash comes.

The war on law enforcement’s latest casualty
The ugly ambush and assassination of Deputy Darren Goforth continues the war against police by murderous gangsters throughout the nation.
It is a result of the counter culture revolution of the 1960’s, intensified by riots, perpetuated by gangster rappers led by those like Tupac Shakur inciting the assassination of cops, exacerbated by people like former Attorney General Eric Holder and Al Sharpton.
I know this from 41-years of service in law enforcement and the criminal justice system. I am deeply concerned for my friends, family, community, state and country.
Indeed, since President Obama’s election, promising to fundamentally transform America, he has pushed our already damaged nation further down a social, political and economic road to legacy-seeking ruin at hyper-speed.
Sadly, America has been deeply infected by the socialist cancer carried by the far-Left’s extremists’ tyranny of the minority, and the miseducation of our students by indoctrination.
Together with severely weakening our national security in the face of a growing world of terrorism, and the police -- our first line of defense -- our future looks desperately grim.
Hopefully, the people will wake up, and the silent majority will speak up and work to turn it all around – for our survival – and return to what America really means. God bless Deputy Goforth’s family and his memory. We must not let his tragic death and all the others be forgotten.

The unconscionable ambush assassination of Houston Deputy Darren Goforth this week continues the war against police by murderous gangsters throughout the nation. This war is a result of the counter culture revolution of the 1960’s, intensified by riots, and perpetuated by gangster rappers such as Tupac Shakur that incited the execution of cops. It has been exacerbated by President Obama’s former Attorney Gen Eric H. Holder Jr. and the Rev. Al Sharpton whose actions against local and state law enforcement failed to condemn the escalating the black-against-black gang murders.
I know this from 41-years of service in law enforcement and the criminal justice system, beginning in 1960. I am deeply concerned for the safety of my friends, family, community, state and country.

Indeed, as a former law enforcement officer since 1960, and since my retirement in 2006, I have witnessed the rise and decline of our country -- including the Clinton “horror story” and President Obama’s abysmal terms in office – causing me to be deeply concerned for my family, my country and the American people.
Clearly, It was bad enough that Bill Clinton’s silver tongue conned his way passed a long history of sexually abusing women, to accomplish his goals for fame and power, backed by his greedy, ruthless wife and first lady, Hillary -- at any cost.
Alas, that cost included fraudulent land and stock deals, the lives of Arkansas state troopers, White House troubled ally, Vince Foster, surviving impeachment and removal from office, Pardoning America’s foremost tax cheat and traitor, Marc Rich, stealing White House property, being the root cause of the 2008 housing and financial collapse, and working the system for personal gain and absolute power.
Coupled with her profitable illegal deals with foreign powers, incompetent service as secretary of state – costing the lives of four Americans including our ambassador at Benghazi, Libya – and receiving classified emails on her private server (tantamount to treason), Hillary Clinton is not qualified to hold public office, particularly the presidency. Clearly, there will be ample evidence to prosecute her.

Time to turn our government around
Re: “Can California cut gasoline usage in half in 15 years? Probably not” (Aug. 12)
California government punishing the populace
Look what’s happening to Californians: The California political elite in Sacramento and elsewhere are leading activists, and indoctrinated voters to punishing businesses and the populace with insane laws, which will surely result in a self-imposed collapse of our economy, our security and our society.
Highlighted by the costly miseducation of our students, strangling our energy resources, electricity, transportation, personal and business income with onerous regulations -- deceitful voter-approved Propositions, including a stupid bullet train – Californians are literally under siege by a destructive ideology.
Alas, taken together, Assembly Bill 32 cap and trade, Proposition 30, extreme taxation and now Senate Bill 350 cutting gas use by 50 percent, coupled with AB 109 and Prop. 47 criminal releases and sanctuary cities, and opening prison and jail gates, releasing criminals to prey on the people in the middle of an unjust war against the police, our first line of defense, is bad government that needs to be replaced by limited government and real democracy….
Indeed, at a time when California’s authoritarian government is trying to eliminate voters’ constitutional rights to initiative, referendum and recall, it’s time to turn government around.

By killing coal, Obama puts final nails in U.S. coffin
As promised in his 2008 presidential campaign, President Obama is marching non-stop down the road to eliminate coal-power and prop up renewable energy, waving the flag of global warming hoax as he goes. This necessarily causes people’s electricity rates to skyrocket. But hey, Mr. Obama is fulfilling his legacy.
Together with nationalizing health care, over-regulating Wall Street and the finance industry, establishing national education and circumventing the Constitution and Congress with continuous executive orders and imperial edicts, Mr. Obama’s abuse of power seems limitless.
Worse, the president’s feckless foreign policy has allowed Russia’s aggression to escalate, the al-Qaeda- Islamic-State- terror machines to spread throughout the Middle East and elsewhere the world, and Iran’s state-sponsored terrorism to move more feasibly toward nuclear weapons, the destruction of Israel and attacks against America and the West.
Alas, along with the lack of border security, the infiltration of criminal illegal aliens, socialist chaos, and his war against the police, Mr. Obama Is in the process of pounding the final nails of his legacy into America’s social, political, economic, domestic and national security coffin.

Obama’s abuse of power
Re: “ A fact-challenged clean energy plan” [Editorial, Aug. 8]: As promised by President Obama in his 2008 presidential campaign -- stating that he would eliminate coal-power and establish renewable energy, which would necessarily cause people’s electricity rates to skyrocket -- Mr. Obama is marching non-stop down the road to fulfilling his legacy at any cost, waving the flag of the global-warming hoax, while he continues fundamentally transforming America, as promised.

Sadly, along with the lack of border security, the infiltration of criminal illegal aliens, socialist chaos, damaging race relations and his war against the police, President Obama Is in the process of pounding the final nails of his legacy into America’s social, political, economic, domestic and national security coffin.

Terror in Tennessee
The terrorist attack in Tennessee is making it painfully clear that President Obama’s ambivalence to the deadly reality of the immediate and growing danger to America from Islamic terrorists -- including the threat from within -- is putting our nation in peril and endangering our people. Indeed, treating terrorist attacks such as Fort Hood, the Boston Marathon, Texas and others as work place violence and crimes rather than blatant terrorism is a serious dereliction of duty.
Coupled the Obama administration’s direct complicity in the lack of border security, the fall of the Middle East to terrorists, capitulating to Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons -- our failing national defense and security -- and pursuing his ideological “Internet Neutrality” to limit conservative speech instead of having his FCC, FBI, CIA and Homeland Security vigorously defend against terrorism, Russia and China’s cyber-attacks against us -- is indefensible and un-American.
Alas, Hillary Clinton would do no better – probably worse, considering her complicity in failed foreign policy.

City kills innocent woman
As a retired law enforcement officer, I am outraged by San Francisco’s insidious sanctuary policy that caused the murder of an innocent young woman at the hands of a habitual criminal alien with 7 felony convictions and 5 deportations, who was released by San Francisco authorities after felony drug charges were dropped, refusing to honor an ICE hold placed on him.
It’s bad enough that California’s open door to illegal aliens is costing taxpaying citizens $billions to provide education, healthcare, housing and welfare – much more in terms of crime and drugs – exacerbated by President Obama’s open border failure to protect our citizens from the predators. Legal pursuit of citizenship notwithstanding, it’s time to slam the door on the invasion.
Indeed, San Francisco is as guilty as the heinous shooter, and should be held responsible. The murderer should be convicted and sentenced to death. Even though he won’t be executed, at least he will serve life without parole, which is redundant as is San Francisco and the feckless State of California, in dire need of a complete social, political and economic overhaul….
Alas, the loss of this precious life is sad and unforgiveable.

Obama’s monarchial legacy
President Obama is making it painfully clear that he will leave a monarchial legacy of social, political and economic pain, severely diminished national and domestic security -- and racial divisions. Indeed, of elected, Hillary Clinton would leave a similar legacy including gender divisions.
A Republican president and Congress would reverse Mr. Obama’s executive abuse of power, recover the economy, national and domestic security, simplify the tax code, reduce spending and the national debt, limit government, rescue education and ameliorate racial discontent.
The dangerous alternative is for the electorate to commit voter-assisted social, political and economic suicide.

Obama’s policy conflicts
President Obama has made it abundantly clear that his foreign policy is no policy -- but taking a dangerous path to eliminating American power and influence in a world of aggressive nations and Jihadist terrorism – diminishing our military defenses and sacrificing our national security.
In stark contrast, President Obama has made it painfully clear that his domestic policy is replete with the abuse of executive authority, orders and edicts, regardless of constitutional limitations, the law and the consequences.
Indeed, his latest EPA edict is to seize control of millions of acres of private land water rights. Coupled with his costly war against global warming and the police, our domestic security in serious peril.

Protect data instead of policing the Internet
When President Obama’s FCC chairman says there will now be a “Net Neutrality” referee to keep the Internet fast, fair and open, what he really means is that it will be highly regulated as a telecommunications utility that will soon be taxed like telephone service.
Worse, the referee will in fact become a socialist government bully with a biased agenda to control Internet content and inhibit free speech -- particularly conservative speech, while allowing ISIS recruiting to run wild.
What government should be doing, is concentrating on protecting secrets, records and the people against criminal hackers and terrorists with the very best step-ahead security, and punishing violators, instead of business-as-usual government incompetence.
Losing all government personnel and selective defense records to Chinese and Russian espionage is unconscionable. Indeed, Hillary-style hiding won’t cut it.

Foreign policy is no policy
To say that ISIS running wild in the Middle East with impunity, and that Russia, China and Iran’s aggression have dramatically increased is the unintended consequences of President Obama’s lack of leadership in the world is a generous conclusion.
President Obama’s ideological agenda to eliminate American leadership, power and influence in the world is intended, regardless of the consequences, including the threats to our national security.
In Addition, the clear and present consequences for President Obama’s over-reaching regulations and executive actions regarding health care, illegal immigration, climate change, limiting free enterprise and the war against police are seriously damaging our freedoms, our economy and our domestic security.
Indeed, President Obama’s foreign policy is no policy. And his domestic policy is tantamount to tyranny. God bless and save America. President Obama can’t. Alas, he won’t.

State awash in taxes and overregulation
Our country is wrought with over-reaching taxes and regulations. As usual, California is first in the nation in leading the assault against once-free enterprise and the middle class by government and environmental extremists
It wasn’t enough for Governor Brown to destroy Gov. Ronald Reagan’s pro-business and middle class economy, and the best public education in the nation.
In his first term. Brown permanently set back public education by authorizing teachers to unionize.
Proposition 98 sealed funding obligations, and the insidious conflict of interest political contributions to Brown and other Democrats followed, resulting in the worst and most costly public education system in the country.
Adding costly insult to injury, Proposition 30’s taxation and Assembly Bill 32’s carbon tax, cap and trade extortion -- using the global warming hoax -- are aimed at filling big government coffers with the tax and spending fraud, exacerbating energy costs, the drought, the cost to small business, and the cost of living.
Certainly, the failures and government aggression of Gov. Brown, the Democrat Legislature -- President Obama’s health-care-less act, the onerous Dodd-Frank finance act, reckless foreign policy and national defense failures -- and overall assaults against our economy are overwhelming evidence of the clear and present danger to our domestic and national security.
Alas, naïve and indoctrinated voters must wake up, wise up and make changes happen or we all suffer the consequences.

Bravo for stance
USA TODAY's May 6th editorial concluding that, "At a moment in history when terrorism is close to inevitable, the lesson from Texas is that only fools invite it while wiser men prepare," is a vital lesson that should be heeded by the ideological fools who provoked the terrorist attack in Garland, Texas, and everywhere.
Indeed, rather than being prepared, President Obama's foolish foreign policy and intentional national security and defense weakness has invited and provoked the rapid growth and spread of terrorism throughout the world. And surely, his lack of support of our police is deeply troubling.
Thankfully, the editorial went on to commend the alert Texas police officer who killed the two terrorists before they reached their target and saved countless lives. Fortunately, suggesting that he should be cloned isn't really necessary because the police are prepared to protect and serve as our first line of defense.
I know this as a retired sheriff's sergeant, detective personnel officer and academy instructor with 41 years of service.

Rioters respond to mayor (unedited)
As a retired law enforcement officer with 41 years of experience in the criminal justice system, including the Watts Riot, I am appalled by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake giving “space” -- license to those demonstrating about the tragic death of Freddie Gray -- “to destroy.”
Indeed, Mayor Rawlings-Blake’s unconscionable behavior spurred cause to inciting riots, looting businesses, burning 15 buildings and 144 vehicles – including police cars – and seriously injuring 15 police officers with rocks the size of tennis balls. Five officers are still hospitalized.
Further, it was tantamount to the reckless behavior of President Obama’s counselor on race-relations, Al Sharpton inciting riots in Ferguson, Missouri, New York Mayor de Blasio doing the same, resulting in the assassinations of two New York police officers, and President Obama himself causing division against the police and being late in condemning the violence of rioters.
Clearly, the rioters in Baltimore throwing rocks were assaults with deadly weapons, which could have lawfully resulted in police firing upon the rock-throwers in self-defense. Alas, my heart goes out to the brave police, our first line of defense, and to the brave, responsible mother who physically disciplined her son for throwing rocks.

Limit government (unedited)
Preceded by government growth under Presidents Teddy Roosevelt, the 16th income tax Amendment, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson, six years of the Obama administration’s government growth, debt, abuse of power, abject domestic and foreign policy failure -- backed by the liberal media and blind allegiance of a Democrat Congress -- have metastasized the tumors of liberal government growth into a terminal case of social, political, economic and national security cancer.
Even though there was a revival under President Reagan, the Newt Gingrich congressional Contract with America, and the American people have since elected another Republican Congress to fight the liberal disease, President Obama has made it painfully clear that he will not be deterred from finishing his legacy terms in office, regardless of the consequences, which are forthcoming social, political, economic and national security disasters.
There is but one cure for these cancers, and that is to significantly reduce and limit the size, scope and power of government over our lives, by electing a president and vice-president, and tougher Republican Congress to take on the extremely difficult jobs of real leadership, undeterred – which will take a full two terms -- with a follow-up presidency and Congress.
Indeed, “It’s time for a change” is no longer a hackneyed phrase in these critical times of social, political, economic and moral decay brought on by the counter cultural revolution of the 1960’s. We must recover our social compatibility, political integrity, economic growth, military and foreign policy strength with true leadership and simply getting it done.
At this point, in the 2016 presidential elections, those leaders appear to be Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina. So, my fellow Americans, let’s wake up and get it done for our survival and the survival of our nation – and recover the land of the free and home of the brave.

After decades of progress, race relations are obviously worse since President Obama was elected and became an imperial president (“Success wins over black victimhood,” December 2014).
Race relations will certainly deteriorate even further as the protests continue and grow throughout the country, invading streets, highways and freeways, blocking traffic and endangering the public. President Obama should step-up to improve race relations as a major part of his legacy. If not, the insanity goes on, unabated.

Race relations in America
After decades of progress, race relations are obviously worse since President Obama was elected and became an imperial president, to the extent of giving African-Americans an arrogant superiority complex and/or being treated as sacred cows in the Obama era. Indeed, Hollywood and advertisers have responded by over-representing blacks in films, television and commercials.
Worse, racial protests, demonstrations, rioting, arson and looting have been exacerbated by President Obama, his aggressively radical race counselor, Al Sharpton, indoctrinated college students and the complicit news media -- touched off by the Travon Martin case -- then magnified by the Michael Brown and Eric Garner death cases at the hands of police -- who were not indicted by local grand juries.
Race relations will certainly deteriorate even further as the protests continue and grow throughout the country, invading streets, highways and freeways, blocking traffic and endangering the public – even blocking Christmas shoppers in stores and malls. President Obama should step-up to improve race relations as a major part of his legacy. If not, the insanity goes on, unabated……
Lest we forget, the police are our first line of defense in neighborhoods, communities and cities against criminals and terrorists.
