Jollibee Opening Up Soon In San Antonio by Danielle Victoria
Independence Day is October First int the Country of Nigeria. Nigeria is in battle for its peace. Since its independence less than one hundred years ago it has struggled to gain its footing. One hundred years isn't very long.
The country has ample access to the "Freedoms" being fought for around the world, and they know what they want. They want peace and freedom.
It is likely Nigerians will win this fight. They are the rulers of their democratic country, and it's unlikely their leaders will be able to disguise their intentions into the coming decades. Elected officials will be forced to stand for the people.
When Hillary ran against trump I voted for her. I regret I didn't vote when I was 19, for Obama. I don't remember giving her a second thought in 2008.
America is a white country, it's more than that, but at its heart that's what is. African culture and Native American culture have deeply intwined with the European blood of the country.
The country is tied to the legacy of England where decades of womanly reign have even extended to the executive offices of the nation. With this heritage, how could America miss the chance at Clinton?
We have to take a moment to remember the great contribution of Hillary Clinton to the history of civilization. Time rushes and we rush with it.. from one year to the next, and current events find themselves inextricably intertwined with currency itself.
Hillary Clinton was the perfect intersection of heritage, business, temperament, modernity, seriousness, patience, forgiveness, and countable more attributes that define the very best of America's institutional past. At the same time she was an embodiment of a promise to acknowledge all of the faults in that same legacy.
2020 frames Bush Jr as reasonably corrupt but calm, Obama as the most presidential since Washington, and Hilary as the best almost president. It reminds me, take nothing for granted, and let nothing slide.
"Each week brings fresh news of land expropriations, of great national industries and service companies sold off to foreign investors, of Iraqi children dying and Palestinian homes demolished, fresh news of gun battled in Upper Egypt, of the names of more urban intellectuals added to the Jama’at’s hit lists, of defiant young men in cages holding open Qur’ans in the hands, of raids and torture and executions."
“As a Doctor, an Air Force Veteran, and Congressman, who serves on the Foreign Affairs Committee and has always fought for the best interest of our troops, I was deeply concerned to learn that our military retirees are now facing benefit cuts under your proposed $1.5 trillion dollar tax hike.
“Our military men and women have fought bravely. In exchange, our country made a promise to them, and we must honor it.
“There are trillions of dollars in unwise and unconstitutional spending we must cut. There are few other leaders in Washington willing to cut spending as deeply as I am and truly balance our budget. But, we must make sure we take care of our Veterans who fought to take care of us.
“We have put our troops in harm’s way, and we must honor our promises. And, our troops have paid a heavy price these past ten years. Over 5,000 have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan, 40,000 have seen crushing injuries, and hundreds of thousands more suffer from brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder.
“Failing to meet the promises we have made to our troops would be unjust and immoral. The cuts you announced yesterday, combined with the rumored cuts in benefits reported in publications like Army Times, have our soldiers and Veterans deeply concerned.
“Mr. President, instead of cutting our Veterans benefits, I call on you to support our troops. Support them by bringing them home to our shores, to protect our borders and defend our country. Ensure that they are rested and equipped to repel any real credible attack. Re-unite them with their families. And, make sure they no longer play policeman in dangerous foreign civil wars.
“Cutting the benefits of our Veterans benefits while we subsidize the security of other wealthy nations like Germany and Japan and play World Policeman makes no sense. The money we would save extracting our fighting men and women and our equipment from overseas conflicts and regions will more than offset the savings you seek by upending the manner in which veterans receive care.
“Bringing our troops home would ensure that we keep the promise to our Veterans, strengthen our national defense and secure our borders.
“Do not mistake me for a pacifist or a person solely focused on the economics of the unsustainable global security and state-building that has helped our country arrive at the shores of financial ruin. On the contrary, I consider my military service as an Air Force flight surgeon during the Cold War to be among my highest personal and professional achievements.
“Authentic, Constitutionally-sound national security – a strong national defense – begins with guarding ourborders and not the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
“Mr. President, I call upon you to support our troops, honor our Veterans, and ensure our wounded get the care they deserve. To do so, we must end these protracted, trillion-dollar wars and bring them home.”
In Liberty,
Ron Paul
