    Here is what I have to say to all of the protesting.
    Dear Protesters...I am confused, I agree with your right to protest. What is your end goal? I never seem to be able to figure out what solution to the problems you are trying to accomplish by protesting. I guess I would like to see all protesters educate me as to what is wrong, what you propose to fix it, and how you are going to fund the repair. Maybe then you will convince me to join your cause.

    Protesting is fine, its healthy for democracy. We need to let our elected leaders know what we need from them. If some choose to raise visibility for their issues through public group displays that's good. if others choose to write letters to their representatives that's good too. or however they choose to let their government know what the want. Government needs the input of the populace. At least these people are engaged and involved in helping to plot the course of our society, as opposed to those who just complain about it in a bar, or facebook, or an online forum.

    GREETINGS;

    AS we have all seen, protestors do more than protest. They take away the rights of others as when they block roads and airports. Most don't protest - they do not like Trump. The far left can not get over Trump beating Hillary.

    Look at the African-American lady in Seattle the other night. (REALLY DON'T KNOW IF SHE WAS A CITIZEN). Every other word was the F word. F whites give us your F house, F car, F property etc. Kill the F White House and the F people in it.

    Look at Berkeley this evening. Protestors took away the right of some one speaking and lit fires and broke windows and destroyed property.

    Another lady protesting the other night was a Muslim and she wanted Sharia Law and couldn't give a damn about the Constitution and wanted gays and others to be terminated by Sharia Law.

    A lady speaking to Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco how her son was tortured and burned by an illegal that has protection in a sanctuary city.

    I really get irritated when some of these illegal protestors burn our flag and wave one from their country of origin and tell us how to run our country.

    And, take a good look at Washington and how the Democrats are trying to destroy President Trumps picks. Please don't infer that it is their job to question them the way they do.

    Ron,

    For the sake of arguement, let's day those incidents you cited are true. That still leaves 99.999% of the protesters as peaceful and lawful. It's facetious to pick three or four miscreants and condemn the entire group.

    In December a group of extremist Trump supporters, the National Policy Institute (REALLY DON'T KNOW IF THEY WERE CITIZENS) were videoed raising their right arms in the Nazi salute and cheering, "Heil Trump!" That doesn't mean all Trump supporters advocate genocide of the Jews, does it?

    The only good thing I see about the protesting is due to the way it is being done, everyday Americans are just turning against them more. The press is right there to cover them yet never question them. As far as Trumps picks, the most ignorant things I have heard yet have been the Pelosi's of the world claiming the Supreme Court Justice pick will all but be satan. She spews stupidity but the press never asks her to back up her claims. The press being promoters for the anti-Trump crowd proves they don't get it either. Both the left and the press have doubled down on what cost them the election in the first place. Guess they think more of the same but more extreme and louder will change things! I also find it funny that liberals will be screaming about conservatives changing rules on approving Trumps picks. Harry Reid played that game along with Pelosi for years. Funny how terrible it is when it comes back to bight you. I also love how all the picks are so evil because they are so rich! Last I knew, that means you are probably pretty competent and successful. Killing kids, polluting the air and water, throwing grandma off the cliff, racism etc claims have maybe finally worn out. Maybe we can get past this ugly period and learn that reasonable debate is a better approach. If I hear Schumer refer to the main stream one more time, I think I may puke! Who made that screaming partisan the judge of what is mainstream? Certainly isn't him! By the way, I have never been a huge Trump fan or supporter but he won, lets get on with business!

    I'm going out to protest the Bowling Green massacre right now. Even Breitbart covered that one up.

    Guys, these Bowling Green Massacre jokes are a little too soon. Out of respect, we should wait until it takes place.

    I am trying to give the new administration the benefit of the doubt. But, it is getting difficult with the blunders that keep happening. Fake News, alternative facts, Atlanta and Bowling Green, the POTUS tweeting about Nordstroms. Are there not real things to discuss?
