Trump’s high court pick will slow U.S.’s downward slide
President Donald Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for the U.S. Supreme Court has protesters all over the news, making it appear their precious 1973 Roe vs. Wade ruling is in jeopardy – not to mention our entire Republic. Adding Judge Kavanaugh to the court would destroy our country – how? By perhaps slowing the country’s leftward slide from its founding principles and constitutional underpinnings to the socialist pipe dreams of free unicorn rides for everyone? How terrible that would be! This Supreme Court nomination was determined at the ballot box in November 2016. President Trump won — and gets to make the nomination. Don’t kid yourself. If Hillary had won, there now would be a far-left Supreme Court nominee – what the left would call a “moderate” or a “bipartisan” choice. And the Republic truly would be at risk.

Tariff tussle won’t be good for U.S. or world
The tariff war initiated with many countries by President Donald Trump is neither good for the U.S., nor for the world. It might cause more financial trouble and instability at a time when cooperative action and genuine negotiations are required. President Trump has accused countries like China of indulging in unfair trade practices because of our trade imbalance. In my opinion, U.S. companies are primarily responsible for this imbalance. They loudly declare their devotion to the U.S.A., but have not hesitated to move factories overseas if it enhances profit. Patriotism is subservient to profit; many towns in the U.S. have been devastated when manufacturing was moved to China. Imports of these goods automatically create trade imbalance. The Trump administration is helping the same companies without regard to their actions. It is time to realize shouting patriotic slogans alone is not enough; we must act in the best interests of the country.
