Debate fueled by agendas, not facts

I have read all these opinion pieces (some of them are supposed to be news stories) lately and all the stones being thrown from glass houses. With this latest tragedy, the volume has been raised to 11 with agendas being driven instead of focusing on facts and solutions. In regards to press coverage and the CNN staged event the other night to President Donald Trump's so-called lack of empathy, here is my opinion.

I could care less if the president shed a tear while conducting his duties. I want a strong, no-nonsense type of person who will carry out the constitutional duties for the best of the country, not someone who will defer to outside international interests, allow fringe special interests to hijack elected officials or allow foreign nationals to come into the U.S. and dictate terms to us.

From what we saw from Clinton to Obama has been the decline of America, the standard of living dropping, the national debt was $4 trillion and now $20 trillion, huge increases in entitlement spending but yet education has fallen behind the developed world. We lost world standing and the overall morality of the country has gone from PG to just this side of X-rated.

It is time to hire public servants who serve you and not some agenda that violates the Constitution and the American people.
