JUST COMMON SENSE. DR.Ben Carson

unfair to our heroes sad but that is the culture

With Bryce Harper and Manny Machado both hitting the market at once, it seemed like it was just a matter of who would sign a record-setting contract first. On Tuesday, after a long winter of waiting, the baseball world got its answer: Machado, who has agreed to a 10-year, $300 million deal with the Padres, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.

That would be the largest free-agent deal in Major League history, surpassing Alex Rodriguez's 10-year, $275 million contract with the Yankees that he signed in December of 2007. Harper has yet to sign, and could top Machado's deal, but for now Machado looks set to become MLB's first and only $300 million free agent.

Afghanistan and continuing.This Generation's perseverance through difficult times is a testament to their extraordinary character. Their remarkable actions, during times of war and peace.

On June 20, 2008, in Afghanistan’s Helmand Province, Anthony Villarreal’s life changed in an instant when a roadside bomb blew up the truck he was driving, setting off a secondary explosion from his vehicle’s ammunition.

“More than 30 percent of my body surface was burned. My right hand had to be amputated and my left fingers as well. I had third-degree burns everywhere. I was in a coma for three months, and it was like I was having an out-of-body experience – like watching yourself sleep. I didn’t think I had lived through it. In a way, I didn’t.”

After reading these few accounts and the pictures of what these heroic Americans, some just 18yrs old went through and continue to go through brings tears to my eyes. Look around you and see what an 18 year old looks like. The heroic Americans who have fought in ALL the conflicts that the US has been involved in became OLD almost over night

ALL CONFLICTS SEEM THE SAME GUADALCANAL

FIRST MARINE RAIDERS   GUADELCANAL

As a young, brash Marine heading to the PacificTheater in the summer of 1942, William S. Parks "didn’t think much about surviving--that was a given." Taking part in the Guadalcanal campaign quickly proved him wrong. He lost his best friend, a member of his machine gun squad, in August 1942, and found that life on the island posed threats beyond enemy bullets. He spent the six-month campaign subsisting on minimal provisions--including food he could forage, such as taro roots, and captured Japanese rations--and weathered two bouts of malaria. He was one of the lucky ones: of the 44 men in his platoon, roughly a dozen survived. When he finally made it to New Zealand for rest and relaxation, he and his comrades spent several weeks gorging themselves on the fresh milk and produce at "milk bars," as the local soda fountains were called. He would go on to see combat on Tarawa, a battle he describes as a "barroom brawl.

"All of us had malaria. And there was jungle rot and coral poisoning and just about every kind of disease and vermin. If you could find it in the jungle, Guadalcanal had it."

USA UNITED SOCIALIST AMERICA

There is only 2 genders as was created.It is scary where we are headed , total decadence

According to CBS, Gillibrand “emphatically said ‘yes’” when asked by a transgender person during an LGBTQ event Friday whether she supports the federal government adding a third category for “non-binary” residents, which would allow them to register as “X” instead of male or female on legal documents like drivers licenses and birth certificates.

Some states, including Oregon, Washington State, Maine and California, along with cities like Washington, D.C. and New York City, already provide their own form of a third gender option for “non-binary” persons, a confusing system critics say could create major problems for law enforcement officers, medical personnel and the justice system.

An American woman who went to Syria to join the ISIS terrorist group in Syria in 2014 now says she made a mistake and wants to return to the United States.

Hoda Muthana, then 19, left Alabama to join the ISIS. She later called for Muslims who live in the United States to “spill all of the blood” by launching terror attacks during events on Memorial Day.

In one missive posted on Twitter in 2015, she wrote: “Go on drive-bys and spill all of their blood, or rent a big truck and drive all over them. Veterans, Patriot, Memorial etc Day parades..go on drive by’s + spill all of their blood or rent a big truck n drive all over them. Kill them.”

Muthana married an Australian jihadist, Suhan Rahman, the first of her three husbands. He died in battle. She later married a Tunisian ISIS fighter, who was killed in Mosul. She married her third husband, a Syrian ISIS fighter, last year. It’s not clear if he’s still alive.

FOR ALL OF THE HYPOCRITES OF TODAY:

All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens.
In the budget I will present to you we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan.
We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it

Politically correct, NONSENSE

Not only speech but actions are characterized as politically correct. National Football League players kneel when the Flag is unfurled and  the National Anthem is played, as a protest against the United States, this is characterized as politically correct. To criticize them is considered not politically correct. In a game the National Football League played in England, the football players knelt for our flag and anthem but stood erect for the anthem and flag of the United Kingdom. This is a total disrespect for our country and for the men and women who gave of themselves and their families, defending our way of life. This action of theirs is what they and the agitators say is politically correct, and it is not politically correct to call them out on it.

Why is this not taken seriously?????

It is truly amazing that there are those in the African American community, and whiteys/honkeys who are protesting racial injustice.

Those on college campuses taking a knee when the flag and national anthem are displayed and played. These nabobs do not and would not live in the minority neighborhoods. True hypocrisy, and I ain't got no time for these fools.

In Chicago:

I also think there is racial injustice. The difference of mine is, reality. African Americans being murdered not by whitey, but by another African American. Car jackings, rapes, shootings, robbery, battery, all kinds of violence, by African Americans against other African Americans

And the irony of it is these loud mouths do not even live in the minority areas, they are profiling their own people.

When will the decent people of all races and religions to say enough!
