Me, the President, the Media, the Wall and Happy New Year.

Me. I do a lot of writing. I post on Facebook almost everyday on politics, sports, my life, etc. You can friend me to read my posts. It's kind of my daily blog. This year I had some business success, was a guest on two national talk shows and played a lot of tennis as I usually do. On one show I discussed my book Patrick Gilligan Says Be Your Own Boss! and gave advice on how veterans could start their own business. I also called into some shows to discuss politics and sports. I'm a frequent caller to a show on WJR. I called in the Friday before Christmas, the last show the host was doing this year. With a minute left on the show the host says " folks we're out of time but I have to take this caller. Patrick, Merry Christmas and have a great New Year." I said "Merry Christmas Frank." He said " Patrick, I'm out of time, but I wanted to make sure I wished you a Merry Christmas." Then he signed off.

The President

I know he's rude, crude and obnoxious at times but the economy has been strong, plenty of jobs, low gas prices, low unemployment, no new wars, a real effort to control our borders all while being under attack everyday by the mainstream media, the opposing party and many in his own party. Some have said he's the worst president while others have said he's the best because of all he's accomplished while being under daily scrutiny. Apparently it's a crime to be associated with the president. Look at all the people  that have been investigated and been ruined. Many of those being investigated have said that when the interrogators could find nothing wrong, they were pressured to lie about the president. This should bother all Americans because it isn't right and could happen to people on the left.

The Media

The media is suppose to report both sides fairly. Many seem to report on only stories that support their political agenda. Non partisan organizations have shown that the media has unfairly reported negatively on Trump. As I mentioned before, the media went crazy when Trump won, in part because they helped make him and in part because many of them have a left wing agenda. The media shouldn't have a political agenda. The truth should be their watchword.

The Wall

Recently I heard a guy being interviewed from a spot on the border where there is a wall now.  He mentioned that decades ago he was there with the guy that ran border security for the Reagan Administration. He said that in the few minutes they were there with no wall, dozens of people whizzed by them. How many millions have just walked or ran over?

Happy New Year

Be happy, healthy, kind, prosperous and let's do what is good for America and each other.
