I'll admit I have been a little skeptical about Trump's campaign "promise" to not only build the Wall between the U.S., and Mexico, but to "make Mexico pay for it!". I could see another war with Mexico developing from that kind of rhetoric, but I couldn't see Trump actually pursuing that kind of an international policy between nations, successfully, yet he seems determined to do just that. I'll admit I am a bit intrigued to see just exactly how he plans to pull this off, and whether he actually can do it, or not. Actually, the Mexican government is responsible for the immigration problem in the southwestern states; they could have tried a whole lot harder to effectively close the borders, but they chose to open their "doors" to our borders. This kind of, "let the other guy deal with the problem" attitude may have been easier and cheaper for them in the short run, but they should pay for it now. But getting them to agree is not likely, as far as I can see. I guess Trump figures he knows something I don't, and I can't guess what that might be. But if he pulls it off, it will be fascinating to watch! Nothing is more gratifying than watching irresponsible people forced to own up to their responsibilities. Kudos to Trump, if he pulls this off!
In other news, Former South Carolina Governor, Nicky Haley has been confirmed by the Senate as the new U.N. Ambassador. As a devout Christian, she will be taking a lot of "flack" in that mostly evil organisation, but she was a pretty tough character as Governor, so, "more power to her"!
The biggest issue for the Trump Administration seems to be naming a Supreme Court Justice to replace the late Antonin Scalia. Plus there are rumors that Clarence Thomas may be thinking about retiring: something rarely done by Supreme Court Justices, who are appointed to their roles for life. President Trump has a list of about twenty high quality candidates to choose from, and this is probably the reason Clarence Thomas is thinking about retiring now, to assure that his replacement is chosen by a conservative president. I remember that Dwight Eisenhower nominated two candidates that he was assured were very conservative judges, but in fact turned out to be some of the most liberal members of the Supreme Court, once they were safely confirmed. He went on record as saying that this was one of the biggest regrets of his presidency. But, once confirmed by the Senate, you're stuck with them till they die! May God spare us from sending any more liberal idiots to high power positions in Washington! We have had enough of that for our own lifetimes!
