Thank you caww.

FYI, this is an earlier post about how I feel about this thing...

We should all be using common sense and Trump has made some bold, necessary, and effective measures to stop the influx into America.

But I don’t get where the federal government thinks they can tell schools not to require standardized testing. Constitutionally schools are run by the state NOT the feds.

Anyone with half a brain should be very concerned about how the feds so easily exercise what are basically unconstitutional totalitarian powers. Yes, I know we are in a “National Emergency” but remember, although Trump is on the side of America, we are one election away from Mr. Wrong Guy using “national emergencies” and everything else to basally consolidate federal totalitarian powers and America as we know it disappears.

Again, yes, we have this virus thing, but people should notice the ease in which this federal government exercises sweeping powers.

Before firing off flaming replies, consider that the feds may not exercise such powers but we’ve reached the point where the feds have no problem exercising unconstitutional powers if the one(s) in charge see fit to do so.

What I’m talking about is making common sense moves here, but no need to panic, and the ease of implementing some of these measures should give the average American pause.

The Bad Guys are watching all of this and fully intend to use the same effective approached s to do what the left can’t wait to do - take America down.

As I’ve said, we should all be using common sense and Trump has made some bold and necessary measures to stop the influx into America. But we also need to remember, “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.” Essentially, the feds are NOT your friend. They are the wolf guarding the hen-house but if the wolf has broken its chain, then the hens he’s supposed to be guarding are at risk.

Yes, I’ve read Others who have spoken as you have and understand the concerns. Trump has given many Gov.s and stte officials broad abilitiy and freedom or states to determine the course they will take regarding schools. I recall a few weeks ago our school officials were meeting and determining the course and actions they would take...if and when.

I also recall many times this president sees first and foremost his responsibility to keep Americans safe as President from any threat we face. That has been consistent from day one. further his trac record tells us that he’s not interested, under normal conditions, to remove the freedoms we have and in fact has shown he desires more freedoms for the people. So I consider what has been done which I might be uncomfortablle with as temporary.

However there has been a paridium shift that is great...there will be changes as a result and things will prove to be handled differently in the future. This is going to show where the dead wood is as well and what, who is not effective.
