Kudos to Trump for defunding Intenational Planned Parenthood. I as a taxpayer should not be compelled to subsidize crony organizations.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 24, 2017
Trump's executive order withdrawing from TPP is economically illiterate, anti-consumer: a form of self-imposed economic isolationism.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 24, 2017
Trump's executive order freezing non-defense hiring is a good thing, long overdue. But Meat Loaf is wrong: two out of 3 ain't good.it's a D.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 24, 2017
Trump has to let his popular vote loss in last November's contest go. Belief that illegal voters made the difference is a conspiracy theory.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 24, 2017

(Pro-Life Libertarians). Taxation is theft, even when a Republican does it.
I, too. am mystified by this bizarre libertarian infatuation with an economic illiterate authoritarian like Trump. Gary North recently called Trump's inauguration speech as one of the best ever, comparing it to Lincoln, FDR, and JFK's. Lew Rockwell seems to totally buy into Trump's transparent pseudo-populist "anti-Establishment" hype, even as Trump staffs his administration with veteran politicians, political operatives, and generals.
But even worse, Trump's protectionism is anti-consumer and anti-business; it will worsen the standard of living for all except his favored few.

Musical Interlude: My Favorite Vocalists
Pat Benatar, "Suffer the Little Children/Hell Is For Children". We're leading off with my favorite Benatar song--and my favorite performance of it with the "Suffer the Little Children" intro. I first heard the latter on a CD or phonograph given to me by my first sister's husband years back (probably in some storage box now). I was searching on Youtube several weeks back and couldn't find it; finally, someone posted it. My RN sister was distraught at having to deal with the results of child abuse on the job. I'm crazy about little kids and babies, although never blessed with my own. I even cringe at the sight of the occasional embarrassed mom slapping a crying or misbehaving child at Walmart.
