LEFTISTS’ HEADS EXPLODE IN RESPONSE TO KEEPING AMERICA SAFE

LEFTISTS’ HEADS EXPLODE IN RESPONSE TO KEEPING AMERICA SAFE

By Susan Stamper Brown

Given the daily liberal head explosions occurring because of President Trump’s immigration policies, one might think Trump demolished the Statue of Liberty, or worse, reintroduced school prayer, when all he did is take executive action on January 27 to protect Americans.
The White House owes no apology for wanting to keep America safe. At most, the administration could consider special circumstances where the threat to the country is negligible, a step they have already committed to doing. The executive order temporarily bans immigration for those coming from jihadi-infested countries like Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Iran and Iraq until better security screening is in place.
The order also puts an indefinite ban on those coming from Syria because ISIS is extremely active there. We didn’t hear a peep from leftists when former president Obama did something similar regarding immigration from Iraq in 2011. No one should be surprised, though, given Democrats’ standards have nothing to do with safety and security and everything to do with politics and appeasement.
Leftists might be thanking Trump for his actions if they weren’t so drunk with hatred for anyone or anything that even hints of American values. If they lock their doors at night to keep bad people out, they are hypocrites to suggest it is not okay for Trump to protect Americans.
Fact is, the same ISIS who vowed to import terrorists disguised as refugees doesn’t care about which side of the political aisle a person sits. America experienced an unprecedented number of domestic terrorist attacks committed by Muslim immigrants or children of immigrants during Obama’s tenure.
We are a nation governed by the rule of law, but you’d never know it from leaders standing in defiance over Trump’s stance on immigration and sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities are illegal and in a civil society, those who break the law are punished. Leaders who break federal immigration laws already on the books should be removed from office, fined, and criminally charged. They should be held personally liable for lives lost and havoc wreaked by illegals living within their jurisdictions.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott leads the way, promising to pursue legislation to remove sheriffs and mayors breaking immigration laws.Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez also denounced Miami-Dade’s previous stance as a sanctuary county on January 27.
In my home, my father’s word was law. When Dad said “no” he meant no. Throwing temper tantrums didn’t help. In fact, it made things worse. It’s obvious to me that America has suffered from a significant shortage of alpha male leadership in families, based on the number of people losing their minds over a true leader occupying the White House.
Leftists can chuck bricks, throw rocks, and start fires all they want, but Trump will still be president when they wake the next morning.
Their actions hurt their cause, because it helps normal people see Democrats don’t really care about anyone but themselves. They claim they are pro-immigrant, but on Inauguration Day in D.C., anti-Trump anarchists set fire to a limousine owned by a Muslim immigrant. The rocks they pelt sent his employee to the hospital. That makes them about as pro-immigrant as they are pro-Christian.
As you might expect, a couple of Hillary’s “Deplorables” came to the poor guy’s rescue, raising more than $20,000 to assist him after leftists destroyed his livelihood.
But, be of good cheer, there’s a new sheriff in town who likes law and order. Sorry, snowflakes, all those “free spaces” to destroy other people’s stuff are no longer available. That’s why 230 Inauguration Day anarchists were charged with felony rioting and face fines of up to $25,000 and 10 years in prison, which should be time enough to keep them off the streets while Trump cleans up America.
All the fit-throwing reminds me this is going to be a long 8 years, but then I smile because I know liberals are thinking the same thing.

Friday, February 3

9 a.m.
Fairlawn Elementary School, 2021 S. Alvord Blvd.
When Fairlawn Media Aide Laura Sandefur sent a letter to Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke asking for books, little did she know that the mayor himself would not only insist on bringing the books, but also want to read a book to students. Tomorrow morning, Mayor Winnecke will read a book by a local Evansville author to a group of Fairlawn students and bring more books to donate to the school library.

Roberts Repeats, Broughton Gets First GLVC Scholar Athlete Award

0

University of Southern Indiana junior All-American Emily Roberts (Fredericktown, Ohio) and senior All-American Chase Broughton (Marengo, Indiana) have been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Scholar Athletes of the Year form men’s and women’s cross country, respectively, in a vote by the league’s faculty athletic representatives.

Roberts continued to impress in 2016 after a breakout sophomore year in 2015. The junior earned GLVC Runner of the Year honors after defeating the field at the GLVC Championships. Robert was the first USI runner to accomplish the feat since Jackie Henderson in 2011, while also leading the Eagles to their sixth-straight conference championship.

An exercise science major with a 3.75 GPA, Roberts earned her fourth-career All-America honor in addition to All-Midwest Region accolades after finishing fifth at the NCAA Division II National Championships and second at the NCAA II Midwest Region Championships. Roberts finished fifth at the National Championships for the second-consecutive year, which matches the best finish in program history accomplished by Mary Ballinger in 2009.

Roberts earned the award for the second consecutive year. In 2015, she became the fifth USI women’s cross country runner in program history to garner GLVC Scholar Athlete of the Year honors and the first since Jackie Henderson in 2010.

Broughton earns the award for the first time in his career after scoring All-American honors for the second time in his career, as well as All-Region honors with finishes of sixth and 27th.

The top USI finisher at the NCAA II National Championships and NCAA II Midwest Regional, Broughton helped propel USI to their 12th-consecutive GLVC Championship with a fourth-place finish. In the process, Broughton earned his third cross country All-GLVC nod.

Currently a graduate student pursuing a master’s in Sport Management, Broughton has a 4.00 GPA in the program. Broughton is the fourth student athlete in program history to earn GLVC Scholar Athlete of the Year honors. USI Men’s Cross Country has earned the award three-straight years with former All-American Johnnie Guy repeating in 2014 and 2015.

0

Karen House, cafeteria manager at North High School, is the recipient of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation’s February Cause for Applause award. The award seeks to recognize individuals who go above and beyond their normal job responsibilities.

Andrea Gordon, teacher at North High School, says that Karen and the entire cafeteria staff consistently go above and beyond, providing the best lunches around, but doing so with the best attitude. “They always go out of their way to talk to my class and truly care about them,” Gordon said. Gordon sited other special things the cafeteria staff does for her class, including purchasing Christmas gifts and adding small, personal touches to their lunches.

“These ladies provide so much more than just lunch for my students,” Gordon said. “They provide love, friendship, encouragement and support. We are so lucky to have such wonderful ladies working at NHS.”

Anyone can nominate an employee of the EVSC for the award. Deadline for nominations is the third Friday of each month. To nominate an EVSC employee, go to www.evscschools.com and click on About Us and see Cause for Applause under Community.
