Wake-up!

Below are nearly thirty violations of executive privilege that Obama undertook. These were found a another blog and were posted by an obviously anti-Obama blogger. I haven't verified all of them. The list is extensive. And it is probably not complete.

The point is Trump has occupied the Oval Office for what, fourteen days? In that time all I have heard is his signing Executive Orders. I haven't heard of a single bill he has sent to Congress for committee review and approval. So far, he is conducting affairs of State in the same tyrannical manner as his predecessor, and his, and his.

Any guesses how long it will take the Trumpster to exceed Obama's overreach?

The example we are consistently seeing, i.e. corruption in government, and disregard for another's way of life, is the template for all the unrest in our country and around the world. If peace is to come, it must either start with our leaders, or it will end because of our leaders.

The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government.

The greatest mistake in American history was letting government educate our children.
