Myrtle Beach Correspondent-Even though Trump has pulled out it seems as though many US based businesses have not. I’m not convinced on Global Warming one way or another.

How can the US (or any other country for that matter) stop North Korea from inciting a nuclear war?
Cartwright-I really think we only have two options. We either launch pre-emptive strikes to take out their nuclear facilities, their political leadership, their military, and their infrastructure or we completely disengage from North Korea, ignore them, allow the regime to obtain nuclear weapons, and live with the consequences.

I once ran a landscaping business in Beaumont, Texas. We had to bid for jobs, and labor cost was an important part … Continue reading Has increased immigration (illegal and legal) contributed to depressed wages and the increase of the working poor in America?
Are there benefits to a border solar wall between the American southern border and Mexico? If so, what are they?
Gastonia, NC Correspondent- It’s a bit hilarious to me that we’re still talking about the border wall. After all the campaign statements Trump made that have not come to fruition, we still believe he’s going to have Mexico pay for a gigantic physical wall that will be nothing more than a symbolic gesture?

Do terrorist attacks in Europe prove that a travel ban is necessary?
Prescott Valley, AZ Correspondent-Attacks in Europe do prove that a travel ban is necessary.

Why do we worry so much about North Korea?
Owatonna, MN Correspondent-Like clockwork, the rogue nation of North Korea is rattling its broken-down saber in the direction of the United States.
