The travel ban on Muslims

Why say the travel ban is not a ban on Muslims? That's like leaving a Porterhouse steak on a table in front of me and leaving the room expecting it to be there when you get back.  I will have "scarfed" it down and will admit to doing so. President Trump needs to claim and own his actions for what they are. That will garner more respect than his current actions.

Contrary to some "crap" I read on the Internet, America does not need a stern parent. We need a leader who has sound judgment and represents all Americans equally.

The current whirlpool of dismal actions is the first thing that I was taught not to do in leadership class. Creating a disaster and charging  in like a Knight to save the day is grade school. This action just shows that you are over your head. All other adults recognize it for what it is. Grow up and act like an adult.  People know what to do.  Let them do so.

I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.

Trumps travel ban lacks humanity

History that is not learned will be repeated. Hitler slowly isolated the Jews and people who didn't agree with him. The holocaust was the final result. Read the second link about the almost zero refugees who have committed terror crimes. Please read all the links paying attention to his words about how he is not targeting Muslims.  Not true is the phrase that comes to mind.

America will shoot itself in the foot in the fight over Isis because of this. Iran is one of the countries that has its people on the travel ban. There are plans in Iraq to ban Americans from entering its country. How can soldiers enter the country to fight Isis? The travel ban helps Isis.

There are so many ways that this hurts America.  Don't know who gave Trump directions on this. Where I grew up there is a saying about people who say or do things that is just plain wrong. "What ever they took, I want to try some." But, I don't want some of what they took. I do not want to lose my humanity.

Please read the information in the links below. They are eye opening.
