"Abortion, Is it Essential or Nonessential" That Is THE Question

Students for Life a key organization supporting the Life issue across this country working primarily with schools and universitis.  In light of the COVID-19 virus crisis they posted on Facebook the following:

Students for Life of America

· Yesterday ·

During the coronavirus pandemic, some states are referring to abortion services as "essential." How is your state handling this situation?

Learn more about this map and our findings at https://studentsforlife.org/2020/03/26/does-your-state-consider-abortion-essential/

Contact your governor now to tell them that abortion is not an essential service: https://studentsforlife.quorum.us/campaign/25304/

Along with their post they also provide a map identifying how states are treating abortion providers as  essential or as non essential or neither. 

Ordering Ohio's abortion providers to shut down in determining that elective abortions are nonessential and then enforcing that order are two very different things.

One reason behind the order in the first place was to preserve the masks, gloves and other personal protective equipment (PPE's) used by those facilities such as hospitals that provide elective surgeries. Another reason may be that the authorities wanted to prevent the unnecessary spread of the coronavirus.

In the above map Ohio should be red. Why? Because, as I understand it, Planned Parenthood in Columbus (on East Main) and Preterm in Cleveland and Women Med Center in Dayton all are defiantly open and still murdering babies per usual. Apparently they have special privileges or a special status in Ohio? These providers seem to be dictating to the authorities, not obeying them.

Ohio's Governor, Mike DeWine (D?-OH) and Ohio Health Department Director pro-abortion Dr. Amy Acton, an appointee of DeWine, and Attorney General Dave Yost (R-OH)  either didn't mean to include abortion businesses as nonessential, or are afraid of Big Abortion, or are totally apathetic, or are intentionally ignoring their orders or are concurring with the violators.

See the Students for Life post above for actions that can be taken to urge Ohio's Governor to do his job and shut down these lawless abusers of life and limb.

CONCLUSION

Abortion is NOT essential. Abortion is not healthcare, Abortion, we are told is a choice. Choice implies an election.

All Human Life is essential, and nearly every abortion is beyond nonessential it is the termination, the murder, of innocent Human Life!

Help to #StopTheSpread of the COVID-19 virus enforce the closing down ALL nonessential surgeries. How about some #EqualJusticeForAll? What a CONcept!

Stop Child Abusing Gender Trafficking

We are somewhat familiar with the widespread scourge of sex-trafficking in Ohio, America, and throughout the world. Well there is an equally insidious, cruel, inhumane, harmful and dangerous trafficking of a different sort. It is making great headway in America and even has the support of many in the medical system, education and legal professions. That great injustice is so-called gender change.

Linda Harvey on her excellent Columbus, Ohio based Mission America Radio Show reported on Thursday, 2.20.2020, that a new bill has been introduced in the Ohio House of Representatives. The “Vulnerable Child Protection Act,” BANS so-called gender change treatments on minor children. The purpose of the bill is to stop the practice of prescribing drugs to PREVENT puberty, opposite sex-hormones and harmful surgeries performed on healthy bodies. These treatments are routinely recommended for CONFUSED children.

Some of the hospitals complicit with these horrific and life-altering child-abusive therapies and procedures are Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, hospitals and clinics in Cleveland, Akron, Toledo and Dayton.

Harvey says, “These procedures are being done to do the impossible – to changes a person’s gender from female to male and from male to female. This can NEVER be accomplished. A person’s gender is STAMPED into one’s DNA throughout the body…

“This bill … prohibits on any person under the age of 18 surgeries like mastectomies, castration, and hysterectomies in an IMPOSSIBLE attempt to change the person’s sex. It prohibits the use of medications to block the NATURAL function of puberty so critical to normal, healthy human development.”

“It is time to blow the whistle on the MEDICAL SCANDAL and to give parents and families the commonsense answers they need.”

Harvey quoted one parent, who spoke at a recent Citizens for Community Values (CCV) press conference, and who talked about the difficulties parents face as a result of irresponsible medical advice provided to their children sometimes even WITHOUT parental consent.

‘Our children are being told that their bodies are WRONG. These parents here today are suffering… and are heartbroken by the results of an AFFIRMATION-ONLY policy imposed by our medical system. This approach has hijacked FACTS and SCIENCE resulting in a deep broken trust.

“We are here to tell the CULT leaders in Ohio – the GENDER-TRAFFICKERS, such as the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), ACLU, PFLAG, Pure Romance, Planned Parenthood, Equality Ohio, and every trans lobby in Ohio that their statement are LIES to perpetuate medical fraud.”

CALL TO ACTION - If you support this no-nonsense, commonsense bill, then please contact your Ohio State Representatives and tell them do all they can to insure passage of the “Vulnerable Child Protection Act.”

Blind Eyes Opened (2020), Pornography, Sex-Trafficking and Abortion

“To open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.” (Isaiah 42:7)

The eyes of much of the general public and most church people are blind to the existence of slavery in the world today. We are blinded to the extent sex-trafficking is occurring right under our noses today in the good ole U.S.A. The fact is that there are 27 million slaves worldwide today, with some being shackled, abused and used right here in America.

Blind Eyes Opened is a 90-minute movie documentary 5 years in the making about sex-trafficking in the U.S.A. It was shown in 800 theaters on Thursday, January 23, 2020 only.

I was disappointed in seeing only a smattering of people attending the Mansfield area theater last night. Sadly, the theater was at most 1/3 full. I guess many were unaware of the movie showing, were apathetic, or had more important things to do such as watching the sham impeachment proceedings on TV. The church was mostly invisible as usual when it comes to the critical social issues of the day. I guess most of us don’t want to think about the unpleasant aspects of reality.

SIX EX-TRAFFICKED WOMEN

This movie revolves around the testimonies of six women who, themselves, were trafficked when they were just girls. Some were sold for sex by their parents, some by relatives, some by boys or men who befriended them and later prostituted them.

Sex-trafficking is, indeed, an ugly reality.

The following are just some of the highlights gleaned from the movie.

·         The fatherless home is a serious problem in America. Children seek out the love denied by absent fathers and look to whoever may provide any affection or concern.

·         Middle School aged children as young as 9, 10, 11- are victims of sex traffickers.

·         11 to 14-year-old girls and boys are both sought by sex-traffickers. The ratio is 15% to 85% boys to girls trafficked.

RECRUITING

The movie identifies three types of traffickers: Romeos, guerillas, and professionals. Most people think it is the guerillas who grab or kidnap victims. But what is more prevalent is the young man or adult who befriends the child and grooms her or him over a period of time, then enslaves them using drugs, physical violence and/or threats to family members. The professional lurks in shopping malls or areas where vulnerable, lone girls may be befriended and/or grabbed.

Social media is increasingly being used to search and stalk vulnerable kids as well. Traffickers may study the friends of a targeted child and try to get to know as much as possible about the victim, then make contact with them, entice them with gifts, befriending them.

RUNAWAYS

Children living in real or perceived abusive homes or in foster home situations who may feel homeless seek escape. Sex-traffickers target these young girls traveling alone on bus, train or plane.

STOCKHOLM SYNDROME

Pitifully, some captives of sex traffickers are so beaten up and beaten down they still look at their pimp in a favorable light. No one else cares.

"Stockholm syndrome is a condition in which hostages develop a psychological alliance with their captors during captivity. Emotional bonds may be formed, between captor and captives, during intimate time together, but these are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims." Source: Wikipedia

Stockholm syndrome is one reason that the victims of traffickers do not run from their masters or even try to protect them when the girl is arrested.

SUICIDE

The life of the captive is often short-lived. Suicide is a way out for many as the only escape form the horrors and the guilt.

CAUSES AND PREVENTION

Pornography

One solution is to clamp down on the widespread availability and use of pornography by men, women, and even younger and younger children. Shockingly, the movie noted that young people are exposed to porn on the average at 11 years of age. Parents should closely monitor social media and use online devices. The Internet, smartphones, tablets and computers can lead be cesspools of material feeding man’s lower nature leading people astray.

Porn is a gateway taking a person from a fantasy world of self-gratification to the real world of exploiting children to fulfill one’s lustful desires.

Fatherless Homes

As stated earlier, fatherless home and lack of a positive role model often causes children to seek that attention, affection, and “love” from other scrupulous sources.

Eliminating no-fault divorce laws would make it harder for families to be torn asunder.

Crime and Punishment

Something that was not discussed in the movie is making males accountable by increasing penalties fathering children and trying to walk away unscathed. Perhaps making the father financially responsible for the child. Giving the father a choice of either providing financially for his child for eighteen years or being incarcerated for that same length of time.

Decreasing the demand for young children for sex is a high priority. Instead of treating the prostituted girl or woman as the criminal. The real punishment should be focused on the pimps, the johns the person who buy and sell their “products.” Can you believe that besides 17 counties in Nevada, where prostitution is legalized, seven states in the Northeast want to legalize prostitution. This would make catching sex-traffickers even more difficult. It would make identifying and freeing the sex slaves even more difficult.  

Interfacing with the Health Care System

88% of all sex-trafficked victims at some point interface with medical system. Either their pimps or the john (customers) hurt them. Therefore, the medical system needs increased training on how to identify, to report, or just what to do when faced with an apparent victim of abuse. A dislocated jaw, a black eye, a broken bone in a young person or a young woman must be better scrutinized.

Education

Schools must include some discussion or track of instruction in the dangers of sex traffickers to make students aware that sex traffickers are after them exists. How to identify, how to report, and what to do when faced with a potential trafficking situation should be included in Middle and High School curriculum. Being fully aware of sex-trafficking is the really bullying that should be emphasized in our public schools.

ABORTION

There is a tie, an unwritten alliance between the sex-traffickers, part of the billion-dollar sex industry and the equally sizable abortion industry.

Some trafficked girls/women have multiple abortions because they are “useless” to the pimp when they are pregnant and having a child would put a crimp on the business, a barrier to overcome. So, the pimp takes, forcefully or otherwise his sex-slave to the abortion mill. In other words, murder the human life growing in the mother, to get rid of the “problem.”

Live Action and other anti-abortion groups have pointed out this grotesque alliance and practice, but it is virtually ignored by the #FakeNews media, dismissed by the politicians and ignored by the clergy, lied about and denied by Planned Parenthood. In other words, it hidden from the general public for the most part.

Part of the abortion industries profits come from illegal sources such as revenues from pimps’ prostitutes. Statutory rapes of under-aged girls are more prevalent than admitted.

CONCLUSION

Most of the six women shown in the movie are now serving in various ministries or organizations helping girls and women who have come out of the same underworld to which they were once condemned.

Churches can address this hugely ignored injustice. How? By getting a copy of the movie’s DVD, which will be available shortly. A 7-week study guide to the movie will also become available for small group study in churches and elsewhere.

Making everyone aware of the problem and providing ways to identify signs of sex trafficking and having the courage to report any suspected abuse would go a long way in stopping this atrocity.

My eyes have been opened to the seriousness and the pervasiveness of this issue. Shared Hope International and other likeminded ministries and groups are worthy of support. I will engage my state and federal congressional representative to sponsor and support laws that will bring about an end to sex trafficking in the U.S.A. and elsewhere.

Pro-Life, Abolition or Something More

I have not been involved the anti-baby-murder movement very long. Like too many others, I was pretty much a bystander until David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt with the Center for Medical Progress exposed Planned Parenthood's aborted baby body parts wholesale operation in 2015 through a series of explosive videos. I have been standing outside the local abortion referral facility and participating in several anti-abortion events and protests since then.

I have observed a difference between the pro-life advocates and abolitionists approachesto ending baby-murder. I have wanted to put my thoughts down in writing for some time. Here is how I see the movements attempting to put an end to the atrocity, the holocaust called abortion.

The video below of an upcoming movie documentary has caused me to reflect seriously on this critical issue of baby killing in our present culture.

THE GOAL

Does everyone agree that the goal is to end all abortion in America?

THE STRATEGY

If so, do we settle for continuing to incrementally regulate the killing of babies saving some (Pro-Life)? Or do we insist that America completely #AbolishAbortion saving none until we see an end to all abortion (Abolition)?

WHO'S RIGHT?

Is it either Pro-Life or Abolition, or can it be both, all the above?

How do completely abolish abortion in our present environment with little or no strong, active, aggressive legislative, judicial or even church leadership or support?

UNITY

Is unity a possible solution or a major component or step toward achieving an end to abortion?

Can someone unify both the genuine pro-life warriors and the adamant abolitionist for the good of all the pre-born human beings? Who can unify or jump start a true a save-the-human-baby movement?

PRAYER

Prayer is part  the solution. Are we praying? What is our prayer? How are we praying? When are we praying, only during spring and fall 40 Days for Life campaigns or during the annual March for Life event? 

Are we praying effectively and earnestly enough (James 5:16)? Are we praying persistently enough (Luke 18:3)? Are we paying unceasingly (1 Thessalonians 5:17)?

Obviously not, abortion is still widespread and there is disunity in the ranks of the movements!

PROTEST

How do we protest? Mercifully or lovingly with not wanting to offend or hurt the feelings or damage the psyche of the woman seeking abortion information, pills or procedure? Hoping that love will penetrate her cold, dead heart?

Or do we protest truthfully with signs and words that show and tell the gruesome fact that abortion decapitates, dismembers, causes pain and eventually murders an actual living human being made in the image of God? Hoping passers-by will get the message and convert to a abolitionist viewpoint?  As well as hoping that truth will penetrate the cold dead heart of the abortion-minded woman who is either being coerced or who chooses to kill her baby.

The mercy-oriented protestor sees the truth-oriented protestors as cold, cruel, heartless, harmful, hateful, unkind, unloving and merciless and therefore wrong and ineffective.

On the other hand, the truth-oriented protestor sees the mercy-oriented protestor as weak, compromising, cowardly, deceived, fearful, inactive, misguided and therefore wrong and ineffective.

Who’s right?

PUBLIC

Meanwhile much of the public, if not ignoring the issue, it sits back and does not know what to make of the absent church which is itself apathetic at best and apostate at worst when it come to the issue of murder of the pre-born human beings.

The public education is skewed toward a pro-abortion, sex without consequences, women’s “reproductive rights” position. So, we wonder why abortion is so popular?

The mainstream media refuses to honestly report both sides of the abortion issue, underreporting any positive save-the-human-baby stories or developments such as the annual March for Life, but glorifying the sketching feminists attending the Women’s March for "Reproductive Rights."

Hollywood glamorizes abortion, and sex without consequences. It mocks fatherhood, motherhood and family.

POLITICS OVER PRINCIPLE

Why do we keep electing politicians who say they are pro-life, but once elected do next to nothing until they declare their pro-life support again the next election cycle. That cycle has been repeating for 46 years.

CONCLUSION

Here is what we can do, do all we can and let God use our humble but wholehearted good works.

 

·         effective, fervent, persistent unceasing and targeted prayer especially for strong leadership to immerge that will unify a save-the-human-baby movement; 

·         educate oneself and one’s community in getting a save-the-human-baby message out by raising awareness by regular presence outside abortion facilities and even churches and government offices; 

·         sacrificial support of worthy organizations and leaders in the save-the-human-baby movement whatever and whoever that may be as a result of your in-depth personal research;

·         identifying proven leaders and political candidates who will truly support the save-the-human-baby movement beyond lip service, then voting for, working to get them re-elected/elected and holding them to the fire, and supporting them financially and prayerfully.

Signs of Concern, Storm Clouds Approaching Planned Parenthood?

I was late arriving Saturday morning for my weekly stint praying and protesting at the local Planned Parenthood abortion referral facility in Mansfield, Ohio.  My wristwatch had stopped working. Leaving, I was struck by the three new yard signs I notice posted along the entrance side of the Planned Parenthood building.

The way the local facility was constructed a decade or so ago, its main entrance is located at the very rear of the building far away from the main road. It has a driveway entering the building and separate drive exiting the building and a public alley in the rear. All parking and its entrance doors are located in the back of Planned Parenthood.  Any protestors stand on the street-side of the facility distant from the entrance.

For the first time three yard signs appeared along the building for clients driving into the rear parking lot to see.  The signs all read: 

Has anyone seen these signs at Planned Parenthood facilities anywhere else in Ohio or anywhere? Why the signs? 

Is Planned Parenthood fearful that the general public and even their clients or potential clients are catching on as to how really corrupt this organization really is and it's in danger of closing?

Is Planned Parenthood wanting to reassure its naïve and unsuspecting customers that it conducting business as usual despite what they may be hearing from various sources?

Is Planned Parenthood worried about being defunded, since more are more states are moving in that direction including Ohio?

Is Planned Parenthood concerned about a growing respect for life sweeping across much of the nation in response to the evil “birth” of an “legal” infanticide movement in New York, Virginia, East Coast and West Coasts?

For whatever reason these sign were posted, those of us who respect life from womb to tomb, and who hold to an exclusive and traditional view of marriage between real men and real women, we must continue and even ratchet up the pressure on this thoroughly disgusting, dishonest, death and depravity-driven organization. The goal is its demise!

Unplanned (2019), Coming Face-to-Face with the Abortion Reality

The Unplanned (2019) movie continues in theaters around the country. In the Mansfield, Ohio area, for example, Unplanned is playing in its fourth week. If you haven’t seen Unplanned or if you are hesitant about seeing it, don’t be! There is much to learn about the abortion issue in this film, no matter what side of the abortion debate you are currently on, pro- or anti-abortion.

Click on this first link or the link below following the article, to listen to an extended and insightful audio podcast from American Policy Roundtable’s weekly radio show, The Public Square, which airs this weekend. The panel discussed the movie Unplanned, abortion, the highly criticized Planned Parenthood and Kermit Gosnell, the convicted and incarcerated abortionist and criminal.

Besides an intense and thorough discussion on Unplanned, there were comments on the podcast about two additional movies, one another feature film, Gosnell, The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer, and the other a related documentary, 3801 Lancaster, An American Tragedy, which explored more of the insidious Gosnell story.

When all is said and done the movie opens the door wide for a behind the scenes look into the local abortion provider operation and exposes the depth of deceit, destruction and depravity that occurs there on a day-by-day basis. And this is all done in the name of “Choice,” and “Women’s Reproductive Rights” and “Equality."

The movie is primary about a 10-year period in the life of Abby Johnson. She grew from a naïve college student to a pro-life activist by means of a stint as an executive director of one of Planned Parenthood's abortion facilities. It is a true and remarkable story.

Although I do not agree with neither the movie's nor the radio's panel's inaccurate portrayal of all abolitionists, those who show photos of aborted babies, overall the movie was great in that it provided a behind-the-curtain look at the stark reality of the horrific, inhumane and bloodthirsty industry.

Instead of the R-rating that was given to this movie, I would rate it "must-see" for every adult and teenager.

TPS60: Unplanned — The Movie

Ending Abortion is a Cause Worth Fighting For!

A group of defenders of the sanctify of human life in Mansfield, Ohio and surrounding areas last Thursday, April 11, 2019, just completed a 6-day campaign in front of a PlannedParenthood affiliate near downtown Mansfield.

We followed the 40 Days for Life model somewhat. The national 40 Days for Life campaigns are held twice a year in the spring and the fall. While the actual 40 Days for Life Campaign is conducted for 40 consecutive days, we only covered the hours that the local facility is opened (8:00am – 6:00pm) on six consecutive Thursdays. We managed to have someone present each hour for six Thursdays.

The highlight of our mini-campaign for me was when, ironically, a pregnant couple stopped to talk to us. It is not that unusual to have people walk by and either greet, ignore or condemn us. However, this couple was extremely happy. They stopped by Denny, who had a “Dads for Life” sign, and talked to us. The father couldn’t stop smiling in reaction to that particular sign, after all he was a new dad! 

The couple apparently had just been to the doctor’s office, because the mother proudly displayed her ultrasound pictures.

Happy Couple Outside of Planned Parenthood Celebrating New Life

What a beautiful and refreshing contrast to the mostly malicious and devious misinformation, counsel and services provided inside of the typical Planned Parenthood facility.

The biggest or the “Mother of all Lies,” told by Planned Parenthood staff as confirmed and shown in the insightful and dramatic Unplanned (2019) movie (see also the movie's Facebook page), which is currently in theaters, is that the baby that mothers carry are “Not a Baby.” They deny scientific reality to make a sale.

Additionally, although Planned Parenthood employs ultrasound machines, most of the time they do not show those pictures to the mother. They typically use ultrasounds to determine how far along the pregnancy is and for use in the actual abortion procedure, which was also depicted in the Unplanned movie.

Other highlights were the young man who stopped and heard the gospel from Pastor Kerby and prayed to receive Jesus as his savior. Two homeschool families joined us over a lunch hour and the 4-year old boy counted 90+ honks from vehicles passing by during the hour he was present. Several people stopped to join us when they saw what we were doing and took signs and stood with us.

Life is the Only Real Choice

A local crisis pregnancy center held its annual fundraising banquet last night. The featured speaker was Kirk Walden. He said that abortion centers like Planned Parenthood offer girls and women only one basic choice. That choice is abortion. Abortion is their main product. Planned Parenthood deals death.

Crisis pregnancy centers, on the other hand, offer girls, women and men 5 choices:

1. Single parenting
2. Co-parenting
3. Marriage
4. Adoption
5. The truth about abortion & post-abortion recovery and healing.

Trumps First 100 Day Do List, A Progressive and a Conservative Viewpoint

Here is my response to the AlterNet article, "16 Worst Things We Can Expect From Trump's First 100 Days Real damage awaits as Trump and the GOP take power," referred to below.  

"Except for Number 9, which I would substitute with the following, "Protect the freedom to express one's religious beliefs by abolishing the hateful vile Obama Administration's transvestite and homosexual condoning mandates in our schools and in the military," I would concur with the most of list that the author outlines. This is an excellent list for President-elect to follow and to implement in his first 100 day. There is much that needs to be reversed from the previous 8 years...

"Refusing to participate in or in committing an abortion by a physician or nurse, to pray anywhere, to celebrate Christmas in public, to have the freedom NOT to participate in a same-sex "marriage" without penalty of the law are a clear expression of a true Christ-follower's right and freedom of conscience. Sexual perversion should never trump freedom of religious expression/belief."

I added some comments to the list outlined by the article's author following the quote:

America’s system of political checks and balances may vanish in the first 100 days of a Donald Trump presidency and Republican-run Congress. Facing no restraints other than protests they can ignore, Republicans driven by far right-wing ideologies, partisan score-settling and fealty to corporate America may seek to erase all traces of the Obama years and reset the political and judicial stage for years to come.

It’s not just Trump’s draconian campaign pledges that stand to be initiated or imposed. House tea partiers who have been obstructing and investigating the Obama administration for years and Senate Republican leaders who put their party’s interests before the nation by blocking jobs bills, infrastructure bills and Supreme Court nominees, now feel vindicated.

Let’s go through 16 worst-case scenarios that could mark Trump’s first 100 days.        

1. Special prosecutor targets Hillary Clinton. This goes beyond the chants of “lock her up” at Trump rallies. During the debates, Trump said that Hillary Clinton deserved to be in jail, and many House Republicans were fuming that the FBI announced her use of a private email server didn’t warrant a Justice Department prosecution. The House, and the U.S. attorney general, both have the power to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate any government officials for misconduct in office. Will they?  read more.

A BRAND NEW AGENDA, GOOD OR BAD?

"1. Special prosecutor targets Hillary Clinton..." Do a comprehensive investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton if Obama has not "pardoned" her before he leaves office, or if she has not fled the country. 

"2. Scalia clone to Supreme Court..." Or, appoint a true conservative justice who will interpret and not make laws, which is a function reserved for Congress.

"3. Scuttle international treaties..." Or, revisit all treaties to see which need to be renegotiated to be fair to America. 

"4. Climate change denial actions..." Or, employ true science and reason in the debate that alleges man-causes massive climate change. Expose the hoax.

"5. Roll the clock back on abortion..." Better yet, how about ending abortion? End the savage child abuse and genocide once and for all? Oh, and completely defund Planned Parenthood. Stop subsidizing this abortion giant. Abortions are 1/3 of what they do.

"6. Sign a law repealing Obamacare..." Or, repeal and replace this onerous law enacted by deceit.

"7. Repeal Obama’s immigration orders..." Return to the notice of enforcing existing immigration laws, not turning a blind eye to the massive entry of illegals over our border and those who overstay their visas.

"8. Start building a Mexico border wall..." In other words, begin to do whatever is necessary to secure our borders. Let Border Agents do their jobs.

"9. Normalize bullying and hate crimes..." Since when is expressing ones sincere religious beliefs "bullying" and "hate"? Truth is indeed hate to those who hate the truth!

"10. Repeal other Obama executive orders..." Restore separation of powers, which Obama grossly overreached.

"11. Pre-empt the pot laws passed by states..." Again, how about following the laws on the books. There are provisions to change the law, federal or state. Let's not take short-cuts to implement more perversity.

"12. Loosen gun controls nationwide..." How about protecting gun rights instead of implementing gun-control and gun-free zones? How about going after the real culprits, the drug cartels and gangs who own illegal guns?

"13. Roll back consumer protections..." How about loosening regulations and letting the market work? 

"14. Start the privatization bandwagon..." How about having the government concentrate on its enumerated powers and responsibilities - like national securtiy - and back off of everything else? Let the states and individuals and the market work.

"15. Cut taxes, increase military spending..." What a novel idea! Cut taxes to boost the economy. Increase military readiness in anticipation of what our enemies may try to do.

"16. Bomb ISIS and increase foreign wars..."  How about playing to win? Untie the hands of our military to prosecute any conflict in which we are involved.

CONCLUSION

The AlterNet author unknowingly outlines a good initial list of what the President Trump Administration should do to correct the vast mistakes of the past 8 years... He has a real challenge. He needs our support and prayers to accomplish this list and more!
