More Random Things

So the fleet that Trump said was going to intimidate Korea went to the Indian Ocean, guess geography is more complicated than he thought too.

We have a Civilian Commander in Chief primarily because the normal first reaction of a military person would of course be the military option.  Using diplomacy saves lives, on both sides.

Trump thinks he is being criticized unfairly, he should read his own tweets for the last 8 years.

I keep reading how Trump is disappointing his supporters,  either by doing what he actually said or not doing what he actually said.  Of course he promised things he couldn't possibly do so if you believed him you got what you deserved.

They can add having polluted fishing streams and air to not having a job.

We live in a world where people think they can challenge science based on how they feel about things.  You can't.

If yo don't believe in evolution or climate change, you are exactly the same as people who believe the Earth is flat.

People who question the usefulness of vaccines aren't much better. While everything has potential side effects, the vaccines have reduced or eliminated deadly diseases.  It really is a public health matter.

People who protest common core were the same people who questioned the education the schools provide, so how do they get better without standards?

Education of our young people is essential to the future of this country.  Lets make sure it is effective.

Before we risk more young people in wars that aren't essential, remember everyone who died lost all future potential while we end up with a President who shirked his duty. 

Since we went all volunteer, the people who serve in the Military are much less likely to become members of Congress.  The trend is very clear. 

The most recent data from the 2010 Census shows that only seven percent of Americans have served in the military, while veterans make up 20 percent of the current Congress. In 1971, 73 percent of members of Congress were veterans, but veterans made up fewer than 15 percent of the American population.
