Walls

I will build a great, great wall on our southern border and I will make Mexico pay for that wall.

 

From the WSJ

The GOP president said Tuesday night that he was prepared to dig in over his request for $1.6 billion toward the border wall, one of his signature campaign promises.

“We’re going to get our wall,” Mr. Trump said at a rally in Phoenix. “If we have to close down our government, we’re building that wall.”

 

I guess Congress is Mexico?

Free Speech

I fully support free speech, however, recent demonstrations are among the lowest form of free speech.  Waving signs and screaming epithets at people you don’t agree with may make you feel better, but are unlikely to change any minds.  Running people down, throwing rocks, tossing urine filled bottles, breaking windows, overturning cars and setting fires are not examples of free speech.

I fully support free speech.  Open dialogue is far more productive.  It does require mature adults.  It doesn’t make good headlines either.  Oh well.
