The Daily Enigma Report

Tell me something..... would you not defend your home; your family, your children?  Who in their right mind would leave their front door open when they know their family is under a heightened threat? Not me.  So, why would we not vet who is coming into our country, our neighborhoods, our schools, and work places?  When will we have had enough and set aside political correctness in favor of common sense?  Vetting visitors isn’t racist - it’s reasonable. Common sense doesn’t care who an immigrant is or where that immigrant is from - if we can confirm that immigrants history.  And, if we can’t - common sense demands that immigrant be barred until we can.  Some will say we’re not at war, but those that seek to murders our sons and daughters don’t recognize such politically correctness  Common Sense demands enough already - vet immigrants to our shores or bar them from entry.  

Given the choice of all the countries of the world - I’ll stay put, right here in our Union of States  No matter what our differences ....  We some how come back together when we need to ... when it matters.  Is it by God’s design? I believe so, yes. Our country, our lives are a gift to us, something to behold, to embrace and hold dear. That’s how we keep it so ...  I often here the question, ‘isn't anything sacred anymore’? Fear and Anxiety drive such decent .... understandable, I know.  But, my answer is still unequivocally- yes. Know this - that’s not how I see our culture - it’s way more personal than that. I cherish so much in life, indeed - I cherish life itself.  Thank God we have the freedoms of differing opinions and the grace to be as one when fate calls upon us. 

The Enigma of Multiculturalism That there is no distinction between foreign persons illegally entering the United States and lawful immigration is an Enigma to me. In my very early twenties one of my job duties was going door-to-door collecting weekly insurance premiums from first generation Polish immigrants in Hamtramck, Michigan. That was my first experience with large numbers of immigrants. They were wonderful people. Their yards were well maintained and US Flags flew on nearly every porch. Their dreams had come true. They had arrived in America and worked hard to assimilate; they wanted to be American. They ensured that their children learned English. They took part in civic events, civic duty and volunteerism. And, they did these things without sacrificing their heritage. By the way, I love perogies. I contrast that experience along with several immigrants I've met over the years with the current political debate raging in the State of California specifically, but a...

What if I told you that punishing a successful company with Taxation was a fool‘s errand ... because ... we need the jobs and it’s us that pay those burdensome taxes? Yup, consider the logic - classism seeks to heap the misery on businesses - that’ll fix their wagons! Ummm ... except for that little problem we often refer to as MATH.  It’s just math ... if a company is, at the very least, breaking even .... guess who pays the burdensome and punishing tax? You guessed it, wh oever purchases that company’s services or products. That’d be You and me. Nice job!  Let’s Take it from the top ... punish the company, make them uncompetitive in the global market .... while we pay the burdensome tax.  That’s as absent of common sense as the multiple layers of tax we’re already unwittingly paying as citizens - not to mention - the death tax.  Stop the press! .... what would our founders say!?

Most people feel genuinely good for a job well done - even when or maybe because that job required such hard work, determination and sticktoitiveness. Given that undeniable fact, we’ve gotta wonder - how’d the politics of entitlement and victimhood, of receiving more for doing less ... become popular with so many?  Are you a hard worker - working smarter while understanding the path forward is sometimes trial and error? Seriously, do you have a plan for building your future?  Are you ready and able to stick to your vision with rugged fortitude and unyielding perseverance?  Do you see obstacles in your path as pebbles instead of boulders knowing they're barely a challenge for your wit and work ethic? If so, this common sense moment is for you!  It’s your spirit that built America and blazes the path forward. Thank you!
