 Greetings and salutations, dear Reader, and welcome to my obscure American blog. Don't worry, it's still "free" in every sense of the word as of the time of this writing, at least.
I've been up for hours which is par for the course for me as I often/ usually go to bed before the Sun does.

from last night's sunset, with colors enhanced

Without any further ado, here is today's Proverb:
First, in text format: Proverbs 31 ESV
And, audio format as well (because "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the Word of God"):

Well, folks, even though I did vote for Donald Trump this last time, that doesn't mean that I can blanket-approve of all things just because it's his decision. The biggest, most glaring (and, only if I'm being honest with myself) fail of this administration so far is the fact that he plans to allow 600K Chinese nationals (spies!) to come and fill positions in our colleges and Universities. I think that this can only be a huge mistake since the CCP has NO love for us AND the fact that all Chinese people who are allowed to come here are required by their government to spy and report all intelligence to them.

So, no, that was a very, very bad mistake on our President's part and I pray that he will repent and wholesale change his mind about that. Nobody's perfect, but WHOA what a F*** up that is going to be if it materializes! I wonder what on earth motivated him to make such a dead-wrong decision like that?! 
Sorry, man, but national security is priority numero uno! If we don't keep this nation together, then no one will have somewhere to emigrate to for a better life, and that would really suck for the entire planet, not just us who are already here.
Anyway.

I don't pretend that our immigration system is perfect. In fact, I feel like, in this day and age, major reform is due. The process needs to be shortened because, as it is, our beloved legal immigrants currently have to wait in line for years, and that's just too damned long. With things like the internet now, it should be a much faster process to vet these people and get them in here. We have the technology, so let's use it to improve the currently-failing immigration system and, by that, I mean the actual process itself. It needs to NOT take them years to get in, because that only encourages them to do it illegally which ends up not really helping them in the end. It's not fair to our precious legal immigrants who want to do the right thing the right way only for the current process to stymie and frustrate them. It's not right. Anyway, that's about all I have for now, dear reader. 
Thanks for stopping by and spending a few moments reading my drivel, be blessed and have a wonderful day today. 💜
