Donald Trump and Mike Pence Interview on 60 Minutes

As I watched the childish interview Leslie Stahl conducted with Donald Trump and Mike Pence on 60 Minutes, July 17, 2016, it revealed to me, again, the pettiness of the mainstream media.

Our country and the world is in crisis and this woman was asking questions about personal compatibility and trying to see where they differ on inconsequential issues. 

Here are 5 questions she should have asked them: 

1. The U.S. is fast approaching $20 trillion in debt. What specific legislation would you propose to both stop it from increasing and to balance the budget? 

2. The U.S. has experienced a pathetic growth rate of 2% or lower during the eight years that Obama has been in office. What specific legislation which you would propose that would start our economy growing again at a rate of at least 4% or higher?

3. Obamacare and other businesses stifling legislation have put a damper on quality full time jobs in nearly all sectors of the economy, except the federal government. What legislation would you propose to stimulate the creation of quality full time jobs in the private sector?

4. And, with the Feds holding interest rate artificially low in order to stimulate the economy, it has profoundly affected those retirees whose return on their savings are important. What legislation would you propose to change the situation?

5. Now let’s consider some international issues, for the world to have order, questions such as choosing whether to use water boarding is just childish as well would you put “boots on the ground.” The question should have been, what legislation would you propose and what executive authority would you use to make sure that this nation remains the strongest military power on earth and stop using the military for social experimentation?

People like Leslie Stahl are paid a handsome six-figure or maybe even a seven-figure salary to conduct interviews like this and to report or comment honestly on the news. She is typically one of those who are paid well, but who are biased and dishonest, and not worthy of the public’s attention.

Could the Nice Murders Happen in Texas?

The country of France has very strict gun-control laws, but we should have discovered is that the Islamic terrorists have no problems acquiring sidearms, rifles or any other weapons. Obviously they don’t acquire them legally 

They have their own underground network for acquiring weapons. Or if they don’t have specific weapons, they are willing to use any other unorthodox means for committing their atrocities. The law abiding citizens are just sitting ducks – – unable to defend themselves.

Such an incident could never occur in Texas or any other state in which citizens have concealed carry or open carry. Perhaps a few people could have been run over but never the 84+ that occurred in France. Once it was determined that this truck driver was intent on killing people, the citizens  would’ve opened fire on this killer shooting through his windshield, shooting through his side windows, and shooting out his tires to stop him.

In no way would he have been allowed to travel the distance he did and kill the 84+ people that he was able to do. Citizens are the first line of defense, not the police. The Second Amendment was written into our Constitution for us to protect ourselves and against the intrusion of the government against our rights.
