ISIS, US Border, Americans

Let’s go back in time shall we?  Build a wall on the southern border of the United States.  People were up in arms.  Most of the people against the building the wall were not and are not now, living in a border state let alone right on the US – Mexico border.

Yet with their infinite wisdom, ill informed “facts”, and mightier than thou attitudes, these people and all their stopped closing down the border.  No one ever intended for the border to be complete closed, incurring self isolation.  Closing the border was to help eliminate, curtail the entrance of unauthorized crossings not at stationed border crossings. 

My opinion then and is the same today, we have Air Force, Army, Marines, Navy and National Guard to protect us; put them on the border.  Protect us.

With all the side stepping, false information, twisted facts and partial truths, there has not been a push or urgency to provide adequate  protection or enforcement stopping people from crossing the border illegally.  Now time is of the urgency.  ISIS has communicate via social networks, it is a good time to use the southwest border of the US to enter the country unnoticed.

It’s not to late to push a plan and execute the plan to protect our country!

Rape Is No Joke, Yet Some Laugh

Yet again another person in the public eye minimizes rape by referring to rape in a joking manner.

LeAnn Rimes in a recent interview with Joan Rivers state she (LeAnn) had sex for the first time when she was 15? Or 16.  LeAnn goes on to joke that she “raped” her boyfriend.

Okay, we know what she means, she wanted it so bad, she came on to her boyfriend in a rather strong and/or aggressive “got to have it” manner.  But to joke and say it was “rape” is just not right.  Rape is a serious topic.  It is not something to joke about, demean or blow off.

And dear Miss LeAnn, you did exactly that, you joked, demeaned and made light of a very serious subject.  I for one, suggest you think before you speak.  Choose your words carefully.

To use words such as LeAnn did maybe okay within your tight knit group of friends while you are sitting around chatting.  But to make a statement like LeAnn did in public and for the world to see is WRONG!

Unfortunately, you can’t take it back.  You could apologize, but what good would that do?  Your apology will not be covered by the media as highly as your indiscretion was, no, it would be on the “back page”, “in small print”, “in the lower corner” where no one reads or notices.

Chalk one up for inexperience, immaturity and not thinking above herself.
