I hope everyone enjoys a happy and safe Independence Day. Remember that the use of illegal fireworks comes with an $1,100 fine. Keep it safe and sane.

So many things are going so badly for our country at this time that a reasonable man can conclude that the causes must be intentional. We are dealing with a perfect storm of crises, most caused by our commander in chief. That Obama doesn't know what he is doing is dangerous enough, but the incompetence of those he has appointed to advise him invites catastrophe. And, catastrophe is upon us.

The huddled masses bursting through our southern border excite chaos, disease, crime, and threats to national defense. The sovereignty and safety of our nation trumps sentimental assistance. This torrent of illegal immigration is an attack every bit as dangerous to America's health and safety as a violent jihadist attack, just quieter. And government agencies seek to keep the seriousness of this attack as quiet as possible. "A Health and Human Services official refused to allow a member of Congress to enter a facility in his district where some of the unaccompanied immigrant children are being housed.... ““What are they trying to hide?” [Congressman] Bridenstine said after the incident. ”Do they not want the children to speak with Members of Congress? As a Navy pilot, I have been involved in operations countering illicit human trafficking. I would like to know to whom these children are being released.”

The Department of Homeland Security, and its underling departments, are out of control - just like our royal president. Let's bring order to the border with military presence.
