Monday Encouragement

Taking a break from posting political thoughts to share some encouragement with you folks:

Don’t worry about what other people think. Believe big, dream big, pray big, think big. God is longing to be good to you.

Everybody says they want to be successful, but when it comes time to do what it takes, they give up. Keep going and the world is yours.

True freedom is not caring what others think about you, especially if they have no stake in your life.

Today's Public Service Announcement

Shots Fired: Christians protesting in support of abortion, illegal immigration, same-sex marriage and other issues that God frowns upon are NOT my brothers and sisters in Christ. PERIOD. Take it how you want, I don't care who's slighted.

What's On My Mind? Episode 3

One person protests against Donald Trump, another one does the same, and another & another. Monkey See, Monkey Do.

I can't be upset when some people say Trump isn't their president because I would say the same thing about Hillary Clinton if she won.

What's On My Mind?

These are a few random tweets I felt like posting, so here goes:

If it's lukewarm in Florida, why do I see folks with light jackets on? SMH.😒

Some sports fans are full of 💩for the simple fact that they'll criticize a player for chasing a ring.

One time for God for allowing me to wake up with a sound mind, for giving me the hustler mentality to better myself by any means necessary.

When it comes to the Super Bowl, teams will be remembered for winning the big game, not making it through the playoffs only to lose.

Donald Trump wasn't lying when he said he would hit the ground running. Not a couple weeks into his term and he's shaking things up.

Illegal Immigration

I can't believe (well, sad to say I can) that some citizens are in their feelings about the US/Mexico wall. Donald Trump's intent is to keep America safe because everyone who crosses into the US does NOT have good intentions. With illegal immigration, the risk is higher that criminals will come into this nation to do harm, and Trump isn't having that. Now, the Mexican president is talking about canceling a US visit. Well, go ahead and cancel. America must be kept safe by any means necessary, and if it means building a wall, so be it. I question those who are against Trump building the wall as to how much they really love this country.

What folks don't realize about illegal immigration is that when illegal immigrants come over here, WE have to take care of them. The money we spend taking care of illegal immigrants is money that could be spent taking care of our own. Some illegal immigrants come over here and don't want to learn our language, and they get services regular citizens have to jump through hoops for. I fault Obama for relaxing the borders to let these illegal immigrants come in. I'm certain not all the illegal immigrants have done crime, but I'm sure they've gotten services much faster than regular citizens. Tell me how much sense it makes where a citizen has to fill out heavy paperwork for public assistance where as an illegal immigrant can come over here and get the same assistance in a week, if not a few days.

I don't mind immigrants coming over to this country for a better way, but do it correctly. Learn the American way of life, the language, all that. If I wanted to move to another country, I would have to learn that country's language and their customs.

The End Times: Monique Conley

One time for my FB friend Monique for this nugget. She wasn't lying when she said this.
