This is very sad. They have been after Sheriff Joe for 20 years probably. These people, entities, who are intent on destroying this country, don't give up - they have been doing it for a very long time and it has become their religion - practiced faithfully, daily, and without honor.

It's really time we admit to ourselves if anything gets changed we are going to have to do it. We are going to have to practice our beliefs - with honor, of course.

We can get involved or get educated about our local, state and federal politicians. A lot of dirty things are being done on a local level, even in small towns.

We can also take definite actions with our monies. If we take time to become aware of the practices of the companies and people we do business with and use our monies with those who are not doing things detrimental to our country, we can make a difference.

It would take some effort, yes, but over time, it would become a habit. I'm sure a lot of us already make such a decision about some companies, but we need to include more of them.

Also, we could inform each other. A company might not employ illegals in one part of the country, but do any other parts of the country.

It amazed me when corporate spokesmen came out in favor of one politician or another - well, let's face it against Pres. Trump. Those people, in essence, were thumbing their noses at those who were not on the same political page. It was saying those who don't agree, don't matter. They were taking for granted we would simply continue purchasing their products while they insult us.

Why in the world would a company do that?

We must make us and our beliefs relevant to them, as well as curing some of the ills of this country.

If we withhold our monies from people we feel are detrimental to the country, we will make a difference - and probably save some money.

I was a big Starbuck's fan - haven't missed it.

I have been hearing about a bill to make it illegal to boycott Israeli companies. That is frightening on it's own, but imagine how it could be applied to stop any kind of action against companies. We do know our government(s) are very creative in applying laws. They can stretch them farther than red rubber on a bean flip.
