Lake Anna Mums and Pokemon

While Ashley, her brothers, her mom and her dad were here in OH about a month ago for their fall break at school, we tried to find activities. Many that we would have liked were closed for the year. But it hadn't been long since the Barberton Mum Festival had taken place. It isn't far from here, very close in fact. It was at Lake Anna, which is also a good Pokemon stop, so off we went. It only took about 15 minutes to get there. The mums were still there, so we snapped a few pictures for my book. 

Finally . . . a statement that is clear and reasonable.

I heard a young Lady at a game in a Trump shirt, get asked how she could vote for Trump, a “misogynist, a racist and a bigot”.

Here was her answer: (as she posted on social media and shared here with permission)

Because I use my head to research and find out what candidates really are, not what the media WANTS me to think.

Because Donald Trump has more women in executive and managerial positions than any comparable company, which tells me he is NOT a misogynist.

Because he pays these women the SAME or more than their male counterparts, which tells me he looks for capacity and skills in people, NOT color, gender or race.

Because he fought the West Palm Beach City Council to be able to open his newly purchased club, so he could INCLUDE blacks and Jews as members, who had been banned until then. This tells me he is NOT a racist.

Because he has raised wonderful children who have turned out to be outstanding, hard-working and compassionate adults. He must be doing something right.

Because his economic plans makes sense, are conservative in nature, and I vote based on what is best for my family, my friends and my country.

Because everybody, the left AND the right are afraid of him, the media is trying to destroy his image, and even foreign governments are voicing their opinions, so he must be doing something right. Cleaning house maybe?

Because I want a Supreme Court that will uphold the Constitution, not behave as minions of the administration. I have had enough with judges who are more like political activists than law enforcers.

Because I fear for my family’s safety if the current trend of NOT confronting blatant terrorism continues – which IS a threat to our way of life.

Because I am fed up with the rampant corruption of THIS administration. Accountability in government is paramount, and as this administration has demonstrated, it is a foreign concept to them.

Because I am fed up with the #PoliticalCorrectnessGoneW ild, and because Trump is not afraid to say what everybody thinks but does not dare to say. A thug is a thug, regardless of color, and that's it.

Because it is about time someone puts America's interests AHEAD of other countries.

Because I know he recognizes and embraces America's exceptionalism, and will not tour the World apologizing for who we are. That tells me he IS a patriot.

Because, unlike HRC, he has actually HELD a job, worked hard and achieved success.

And last, but not least, because I am WAY more offended by what Hillary DOES than by what Trump SAYS.
