Donald Trump, fight against ISIL: Second look

Keep America safe

Donald Trump is only calling for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration, which is needed until the U.S. government develops an effective process to accept those who want to come here.

That could be quickly or, knowing the efficiency issues our government faces, it could be awhile. How is that unreasonable?

Get off Trump’s back. Finally we have someone running for president who says what he believes — no matter his style of expressing his beliefs! We have tried “traditional lifetime” politicians for a long time. Time for another approach!

POLICING THE USA: A look at race, justice, media

Keep focus on ISIL

The Islamic State is winning. Donald Trump’s actions to alienate Muslims are creating a fight among ourselves about our values. We have taken our eyes off the target. This enemy is very clever, and to win, we must be smarter. At this moment, I don’t see us as smarter.

In fact, we are playing right into the hands of the enemy. The broader the coalition, the better chance for success. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true.
