That would be the Donald Trump Administration, the issue of national Education, and the continuing conundrum of Immigration. These are certainly three of the hottest topics swirling about the nation these days and are no doubt areas that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. Let’s approach them one at a time.
Much as the issue of abortion was essentially returned to the individual states to regulate, so might the issue of education be similarly redirected. There needs to be a very honest and open debate about the necessity and possible extent of federal government involvement in education. It is an issue that very possibly should be/will be left to each state to regulate, manage, and finance. Rather than some elitists in WDC deciding that their one size should fit all, it might make more sense to allow individual communities, counties, and states to model an education system that reflects their priorities and concerns.
Perhaps there is a federal
role to provide a large and general template for fundamental educational goals
and targets; but under any circumstance, that role should be relatively minor
in the overall picture and provide little more than a forum for national
support. One thing is for certain: the education of our children and young adults
needs to return to its basic function and ditch the nanny-state, social, political,
and idealistic symptoms that appear to have contaminated it.

It
would appear that our southern border is now secure and a plan is
well-initiated to keep it that way. And
even though there is a good deal of debate about how to remove criminal illegal aliens from our country; there seems
to be a strong consensus that they do
need to be removed.
The much larger and more pertinent
question is how we deal with the millions of illegal aliens that will remain in
America, even if we manage to remove most of the criminal
elements of that category. National
immigration reform must flow from Congress; it must be bipartisan in nature; it
must address the current millions of peaceable illegal aliens currently here;
and it must provide a blueprint for the long-term management of a responsible,
practical, reasonable, thoughtful, and compassionate national immigration
program.

After eight years of an Obama presidential devolution, followed by a four-year period of bald-faced political sabotage during the first Trump term, and then leading to a debilitating and painfully-long single term by Joe Biden…our nation found itself in a very poor condition with very few good choices for improvement. There is pretty strong agreement on many things that need to be ended and disposed of…but those are the relatively simple parts of the equation. The bigger challenge lies in a line from a Matchbox Twenty song that goes “…and I don’t know how to get it back to good”.
Extraordinary messes require
extraordinary remedies. The
Donald Trump Administration has some common sense policy ideals, some very loud
and abrasive personalities, and several unconventional approaches to
governing. But the simple fact is this
might very well be the extraordinary approach it takes to fix the terrible mess
left by Joe Biden. Trump gets
four years; the clock is ticking; big plans are being laid and announced….results had best begin to show up real soon.

Here’s a piece I wrote a little past the halfway point of the first Trump presidency. I’m not sure a lot has changed since then: https://centerlineright.blogspot.com/search?q=the+chaos+theory

Just
when you think the mainstream media has sunk to its lowest unethical,
unprofessional, politically-biased, and progressively idealistic point…they somehow seem to sink even further. There is a very real question today as to
whether or not a respectable, informed, professional, bipartisan, and popular
mainstream media collective can once again coalesce around sound and ethical
journalistic standards and assume its role as the Fourth Estate of our culture
and society. That hope is fading away quickly.

And
here are three quick hits on the way out the door…
Beware the cherry-picking methods
of trumpeting bad/good economic news. It
is much like the scripture…context means everything.
Perhaps the greatest lasting
impacts of presidents are the federal judges they appoint and leave behind when
they depart from the White House. If you
doubt this, just consider the heartburn being thrust upon the Trump
Administration by the rogue progressive judges across the land.

I am 72 years old and smack dab in
the middle of the Boomer Class. I found
this article extremely interesting.
