    President Donald Trump wants to build up the U.S. Navy, a move that could help the United States counter China’s aggressive expansion into the Western Pacific.

    But the new, bigger fleet will come too late to save America from a rising China. That’s because Trump’s other initiatives—rejecting foreign alliances, throwing up barriers to global trade and withdrawing from efforts to combat climate change—are creating a power vacuum that China naturally fills.

    Beijing will step into leadership roles that Trump’s Washington has vacated quicker than Trump’s Navy stands any chance of blocking Chinese ascension.

    Nope, it is God that raises up and takes down powers, not Trump. You give Trump much too much credit.

    "You cannot be pro-life and anti-refugee!"

    Name one person, democrat or republican, or anyone on this board who is anti-refugee. The statement makes no sense....maybe you meant anti-terrorist...which would make no sense either...

    I am pro-life.

    I support the ban as it is.

    It is a message to the entire Muslim world - if you the peace loving muslims want to be welcomed here in America look to yourselves and help us root out the demon seed of Islamic terrorists - SHUT DOWN THE TRAINING CAMPS, SCHOOLS AND CENTERS OF RADICALISM YOU KNOW EXIST so that we don't have to take these drastic measures!

    Hank, as I have said before you are pro-birth, not pro-life.

    It's a simple policy that has worked for years. When the stakes are high few seriously entertain risking war.

    This as opposed to Obama actually giving money to Iran?

    Did you raise concerns over that?



    America needs to be saved from China?

    America needs to be saved from sin, and there is a much better chance of that with this administration than there has been in the last eight years, and certainly more than if we were looking at four years of Clinton.



    Gosh, offended Mexico's president, has he?

    Time they started being responsible for the criminal element in their country.

    And it's time to stop sending all of our money to Mexico. Carrier is not the only company that takes advantage of cheap labor and lower regulation, Trane has done the same thing (and to be fair to Trane it is Ingersoll-Rand that has done it). They build their components in Mexico now, ship them here to be assembled, and then stamp "Made in America" on it.

    It's not.



    You know, I think I can live without Dollar Stores, to be perfectly honest.



    Instead...combatting global Fraud which has bilked many out of their hard earned money.

    You understand that the Global Warming alarmists are directly responsible for mandated regulation which has made heating and air conditioning un-affordable for the poor, right?

    But the bottom line is this: do you believe man is going to end the world...or God? It's right there in Revelation, my friend.



    Right.


    You mean they are going to start buying all the junk Mexico produces?

    ;)


    God bless.

    Depends on your own particular understanding of what it means to be Pro-Life, and understanding that Pro-Life does not mean you cannot view the deaths of those who take life as something that should occur. And what I mean by that is that those who take the lives of others forfeit their own lives before God.

    I agree with Hank: I am pro-life and I have no problem with the temporary ban, which I think is simply a statement from the Trump Administration, "Hey, you terrorists...you no longer have the support of the White House."


    God bless.

    You guys are such fearful wimps. Feel you have to appease everyone, from terrorists to competitors. Thank God we elected a leader.

    Are you referring to my stance on capital punishment?
    If so - Crabtownboy, as I have said before I am against capital punishment but I tolerate it because a "life" sentence does not always mean an individual will never be released. Some have been released to kill again.
