I DO NOT SEE a Problem With Illegal Aliens Invading the USA. In ACTUAL REALITY I Have NOT Noticed any Increase of People from South of the Border. I Believe it's all Just HATESPEECH ON TV in order to Re-Elect tRUMP. It's All a Made Up "Crisis."

What I DO SEE as a Real Problem is the Stock Market Crashing. The DJIA has been Swinging Wildly these last few weeks... One Day it's Up, the Next Day It's Down... but the General Effect is that American Businesses are Worth Less and Less. While "The Invasion" from Central America is Truly Fake News... Me losing my Life Savings due to tRUMP's Bonehead Trade War CONCERNS ME.

Another thing that is of Interest is the Republicrime Plan for Cutting Social Security and Medicare. They keep on giving MASSIVE Tax Cuts to the Rich and Want to Pay for it by Cutting Money from Millions of Americans. It's a "Reverse Robin Hood" Plan. Take from the Poor and Give to the Rich. tRUMP's Tax Cut Allowed Amazon to Pay ZERO TAXES. WTF?

Wildfires in California are Important. I Look outside and See that the Trees in My Backyard are Dry and Thirsty. Ready to Burn. All it takes is a Spark and My Whole Neighborhood Will Be UP in Flame... Lightning or Arson or PG&E Failure to keep Trees away from Power Lines... We Have Not Learned the Lesson from the Fires in Paradise, Santa Rosa and Redding... What We Need To Do is Bring Home all the People, Airplanes and Helicopters Currently Stationed in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq. Use them to Drop Water on Wildfires. I Bet all those Soldiers would be Happier Protecting America. As they Say: "Support the Troops, Bring 'em Home"

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.

History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School Now... "Too Controversial" -

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.
