We’ve heard a lot about our president not heading the advice of the military in regard to the punishment of some members of the military.
Evidently some people think that the subordinates are in charge.
The president is the commander in chief.
Whether his decision was the right one or not he had the right to do what he did.
The next thing we know the privates will be telling the generals what to do.
We deserve better

Today is the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings (June 6, 1944).
I am thankful for what they accomplished.

Some even inquired as to what feral means.

Maybe some facts will help us to understand our current situation with the people wanting to enter the United States.
From the United States Customs and Immigration Services website:
Refugees are generally people outside of their country who are unable or unwilling to return home because they fear serious harm.
You may seek a referral for refugee status only from outside of the United States.
and then:
Under United States law, a refugee is someone who:
***********************************************************
Asylum status is a form of protection available to people who:
You may apply for asylum in the United States regardless of your country of origin or your current immigration status.
If you are eligible for asylum you may be permitted to remain in the United States
Let’s see, a refugee “Is located outside of the United States”.
Asylum status is available to those who “Meet the definition of refugee” but “Are already in the United States” or “Are seeking admission at a port of entry”.
We deserve better
