MY PARENTS


Alaska Frontier Nurse
1930'S Autobiography of Lois Kroll, Henry's mother
While working for the Frontier Nursing Service in Kentucky and as Public Health Nurse in Alaska, Lois delivered more than 200 babies.
Lois first came to Alaska in 1937 after answering a small newspaper ad requesting a Public Health Nurse in Seldovia, Alaska. She applied for the position and to her surprise was accepted. When the Alaska Steamship Company ship, Aleutian arrived in Seldovia she remarked in her diary, "I met the outgoing nurse and inherited her cat and the boyfriend."
Upon arriving in Seldovia, Lois discovered that the landscape was dotted with outhouses. The people had no running water and were drinking polluted well water. Influenza, colds, and dysentery ran rapidly through the population. She immediately petitioned the Town Council to raise money for a pipeline and organized a group of men to install the water line from a makeshift dam at Fish Creek. Her job consisted of inoculating the population against typhoid, diphtheria, and smallpox and generally improve the living conditions and health of the people. Her territory was Seldovia, Homer, Kenai, Anchor Point, Port Graham and English Bay. The city of Soldotna didn't exist yet.
Having babies is a life and death matter. The stress of this occupation can wear heavy on a person after a few years. Here in her own words is her story titled, Frontier Living written for the Seattle, Ballard Senior Center 1990.

About Donald Trump...

> Things you may not know about Donald Trump
> :
>
> If you are really interested in who Mr. Trump is -- this is something
> that you
> should read!
>
>
> This is a bit of a read, but if you’re following the rash of
> “politicians” running for president and you’re worried about how and
> where this country is going, then this is worth a few minutes of your time!
>
> What can he do? Love him or Hate him… It is worth a read!
>
> Trump, hopefully at least, is waking some of the RINOs up. The criticisms of
> Trump are amazingly​ missing something. They are​ lacking in ​negative
> stories from those who work for him or have had business dealings with him.
> After all the employees he’s had and all the business deals he’s made
> there is a void of criticism. In fact, long term employees call him a strong
> and merciful leader and say he is far more righteous and of high integrity​
> than people may think​ and while it may surprise many, he’s actually
> humble when it comes to his generosity and kindness. A good example is a
> story that tells of his limo breaking down on a deserted highway outside of
> New York City. A middle-aged couple stopped to help him and as a thank
> you he
> paid off their mortgage, but he didn’t brag about that. Generous and good
> people rarely talk of charity they bestow on others.​ But as much as all
> this is interesting, the real thing that people want to know is what Donald
> Trump’s plan is for America. It’s funny how so many people say they
> don’t know what it is, or they act like Trump is hiding it. The information
> is readily available if people would just do a little homework. But, since
> most Americans won't do their own research, here in no particular
> order, is an
> overview of many of Trumps positions and plans:
>
> 1. Trump believes that America should not intervene militarily in other
> country’s problems without being compensated for doing so. If America is
> going to risk the lives of our soldiers and incur the expense of going
> to war,
> then the nations we help must be willing to pay for our help. Using the Iraq
> War as an example, he cites the huge monetary expense to American taxpayers
> (over $1.5 trillion, and possibly much more depending on what sources
> are used
> to determine the cost) in addition to the cost in human life. He suggests
> that Iraq should have been required to give us enough of their oil to pay for
> the expenses we incurred. He includes in those expenses the medical
> costs for
> our military and $5 million for each family that lost a loved one in the war
> and $2 million for each family of soldiers who received severe injuries.
>
> 2. Speaking of the military, Trump wants America to have a strong military
> again. He believes the single most important function of the federal
> government is national defense. He has said he wants to find the General
> Patton or General MacArthur that could lead our military buildup back to the
> strength it needs to be. While he hasn’t said it directly that I know of,
> Trump’s attitude about America and about winning tells me he’d most likely
> be quick to eliminate rules of engagement that handicap our military in
> battle. Clearly Trump is a “win at all costs” kind of guy, and I’m sure
> that would apply to our national defense and security, too.
>
> 3. Trump wants a strong foreign policy and believes that it must include 7
> core principles (which seem to support my comment in the last point):
> · American interests come first. Always. No apologies. Maximum firepower
> and military preparedness.
> · Only go to war to win.
> · Stay loyal to your friends and suspicious of your enemies.
> · Keep the technological sword razor sharp.
> · See the unseen. Prepare for threats before they materialize.
> · Respect and support our present and past warriors.
> 4. Trump believes that terrorists who are captured should be treated as
> military combatants, not as criminals like the Obama administration treats
> them.
>
> 5. Trump makes the point that China’s manipulation of their currency has
> given them unfair advantage in our trade dealings with them. He says we must
> tax their imports to offset their currency manipulation, which will cause
> American companies to be competitive again and drive manufacturing back to
> America and create jobs here. Although he sees China as the biggest
> offender, he believes that America should protect itself from all foreign
> efforts to take our jobs and manufacturing. For example, Ford is building a
> plant in Mexico and Trump suggests that every part or vehicle Ford makes in
> Mexico be taxed 35% if they want to bring it into the U. S., which
> would cause
> companies like Ford to no longer be competitive using their Mexican
> operations
> and move manufacturing back to the U. S., once again creating jobs here.
>
> 6. Trump wants passage of NOPEC legislation (No Oil Producing and Exporting
> Cartels Act – NOPEC – S.394), which would allow the government to sue OPEC
> for violating antitrust laws. According to Trump, that would break up the
> cartel. He also wants to unleash our energy companies to drill domestically
> (sound like Sarah Palin’s ‘drill baby, drill’?) thereby increasing
> domestic production creating jobs and driving domestic costs of oil and gas
> down while reducing dependence on foreign oil.
>
> 7. Trump believes a secure border is critical for both security and
> prosperity in America. He wants to build a wall to stop illegals from
> entering
> and put controls on immigration. (And he says he’ll get Mexico to pay for
> the wall, which many have scoffed at, but given his business successes I
> wouldn’t put it past him.) He also wants to enforce our immigration laws and
> provide no path to citizenship for illegals.
>
> 8. Trump wants a radical change to the tax system to not only make it
> better for average Americans, but also to encourage businesses to stay here
> and foreign businesses to move here. The resulting influx of money to our
> nation would do wonders for our economy. He wants to make America the place
> to do business. He also wants to lower the death tax and the taxes on
> capital
> gains and dividends. This would put more than $1.6 trillion back into the
> economy and help rebuild the 1.5 million jobs we’ve lost to the current tax
> system. He also wants to charge companies who outsource jobs overseas a 20%
> tax, but for those willing to move jobs back to America they would not be
> taxed. And for citizens he has a tax plan that would allow
> Americans to keep more of what they earn and spark economic growth. He wants
> to change the personal income tax to:
> · Up to $30,000 taxed at 1%
> · From $30,000 to $100,000 taxed at 5%
> · From $100,000 to $1,000,000 taxed at 10%
> · $1,000,000 and above taxed at 15%
>
> 9. Trump wants Obamacare repealed. He says it’s a “job-killing,
> health care-destroying monstrosity” that “can’t be reformed, salvaged,
> or fixed.” He believes in allowing real competition in the health insurance
> marketplace to allow competition to drive prices down. He also believes in
> tort reform to get rid of defensive medicine and lower costs.
>
> 10. Trump wants spending reforms in Washington, acknowledging that America
> spends far more than it receives in revenue. He has said he believes that if
> we don’t stop increasing the national debt once it hits $24 trillion it will
> be impossible to save this country.
>
> 11. Even though he says we need to cut spending, he does not want to harm
> those on Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. He believes that the
> citizens have faithfully paid in to the system to have these services
> available and that the American government has an obligation to fulfill its
> end of the bargain and provide those benefits. Therefore, he wants to build
> the economy up so that we have the revenue to pay those costs without
> cutting the benefits to the recipients. He disagrees with Democrats
> who think
> raising taxes is the answer and says that when you do that you stifle the
> economy. On the other hand, when you lower taxes and create an environment to
> help businesses they will grow, hire more workers, and those new workers will
> be paying taxes that become more tax revenue for the government.
>
> 12. Trump also wants reform of the welfare state saying that America needs
> “a safety net, not a hammock.” He believes in a welfare to work program
> that would help reduce the welfare roles and encourage people to get back to
> work. And he wants a crackdown on entitlement fraud.
>
> 13. Trump believes climate change is a hoax.
>
> 14. Trump opposes Common Core.
>
> 15. Trump is pro-life, although he allows for an exception due to rape,
> incest, or the life of the mother.
>
> 16. Trump is pro 2nd Amendment rights.
>
> 17. Trump’s view on same-sex marriage is that marriage is between a man and
> a woman, but he also believes that this is a states rights issue, not a
> federal issue.
>
> 18. Trump supports the death penalty. Trump believes that there is a lack of
> common sense, innovative thinking in Washington (Hmmm… looks like he
> believes in horse sense!). He says it’s about seeing the unseen and
> that’s the kind of thinking we need to turn this country around. He tells a
> personal story to illustrate the point: “When I opened Trump National Golf
> Club at Rancho Palos Verdes in Los Angeles, I was immediately told that I
> would need to build a new and costly ballroom. The current ballroom was
> gorgeous, but it only sat 200 people and we were losing business because
> people needed a larger space for their events. Building a new ballroom would
> take years to get approval and permits (since it’s on the Pacific Ocean),
> and cost about $5 million. I took one look at the ballroom and saw
> immediately
> what needed to be done. The problem wasn’t the size of the room, it was the
> size of the chairs. They were huge, heavy, and unwieldy. We didn’t need a
> bigger ballroom, we needed smaller chairs! So I had them replaced with
> high-end, smaller chairs. I then had our people sell the old chairs and got
> more money for them than the cost of the new chairs. In the end, the
> ballroom
> went from seating 200 people to seating 320 people. Our visitors got the
> space they desired, and I spared everyone the hassle of years of construction
> and $5 million of expense. It’s amazing what you can accomplish with a
> little common sense.” On top of his saving years of construction and $5
> million in expenses, he also was able to keep the ballroom open for business
> during the time it would have been under remodeling, which allowed him to
> continue to make money on the space instead of losing that revenue during
> construction time.
>
> Donald Trump’s entire life has been made up of success and winning. He’s
> been accused of bankruptcies, but that’s not true. He’s never filed
> personal bankruptcy. He’s bought companies and legally used bankruptcy laws
> to restructure their debt, just as businesses do all the time. But he’s
> never been bankrupt personally. He’s a fighter that clearly loves America
> and would fight for our nation. Earlier I quoted Trump saying, “I love
> America. And when you love something, you protect it passionately…
> fiercely, even.” We never hear that from Democrats or even from most
> Republicans. Donald Trump is saying things that desperately need to be said
> but no other candidate has shown the fortitude to stand up and say them.
> Looking over this list of what he wants for America I see a very
> necessary set
> of goals that are long past due. Before we criticize someone because the
> media does, maybe we should seriously consider what he has to offer.
>
> P.S. added by BOB (and I agree wholeheartedly): As I see it, his main
> problem
> is his arrogance, but there's an old saying "if you can do it, it ain't
> bragging".

What if they left?


WHAT IF THEY LEFT?
 
 
Considering the Denver Post is a very liberal paper I'm surprised they published this.  This really shows how the hiring of illegals is false economic practice. 
Tina Griego is a Free-Lance reporter for the Denver Post.  She writes some really good stuff and she is a strong advocate for LEGAL immigration Homework on issues is part of her make-up and fabric ...
What if they left?
Somebody really did their homework on this one.  Best on the subject to date.  It does not have a political slant to it, it’s just the facts:  Not Democratic, not Republican, not liberal and not conservative.
What if 20 Million Illegal Aliens Vacated America?
  I, Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a column titled, "Mexican Visitor's Lament."
  I interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week.  Hernandez said, "Illegal aliens pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes.  What happens to your country's economy if 20 million people go away?"
Hmmm, I thought, what would happen?
So I did my due diligence, buried my nose as a reporter into the FACTS I found below.
It's a good question... it deserves an honest answer.  Over 80% of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped.  But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America?  The answers I found may surprise you!
In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and overrun prisons.  It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested.  Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant language again.
In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grandchildren would move back "home," mostly to Mexico. That would save Colorado an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 billion) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs.
It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.
Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens.  Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.
Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67% dropout/flunk rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages.  At least200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado.  Denver's 4% unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.
In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law, and English.
In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for  safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.
If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home,' the U.S. economy would return to the rule of law.  Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn't be working off the books.  That would result in an additional $401 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers.
No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English.  No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids.  Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.
We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually.  That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country.
In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the ' 18th Street Gang' would vanish from our nation.  No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!
Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock.  Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens!
America's economy is drained.  Taxpayers are harmed.  Employers get rich.  Over $80 billion annually wouldn't return to the aliens' home countries by cash transfers.  Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America's economy which currently suffers a $20 trillion debt.  $20 trillion debt!!!
At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle.  At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act.
Americans wouldn't suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country - brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.
Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities.  It would also put the 'progressives' on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11% of our greenhouse gases.
Over one million of Mexico's poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas, to San Diego, California, in what the New York Times called, 'colonias' or new neighborhoods.  Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse.  They live without sewage, clean water, streets, roads, electricity, or any kind of sanitation.
The New York Times reported them to be America's new ' Third World ' inside our own country.  Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonias.  (I've seen them personally in Texas and Arizona; it's sickening beyond anything you can imagine.)
By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico.  We should invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico.  We already invite a million people into our country legally annually, more than all other countries combined.  We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation.
It's time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life. Interesting Statistics!
Here are 14 reasons illegal aliens should vacate America, and I hope they are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them:
1.  $14 billion to $22 billion dollars are spent each year on welfare to illegal aliens (that's Billion with a 'B')
3.  $7.5 billion dollars are spent each year on Medicaid for illegal aliens. 
4.  $12 billion dollars are spent each year on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they still cannot speak a word of English
5.  $27 billion dollars are spent each year for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
6.  $3 Million Dollars 'PER DAY' is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.  That's $1.2 Billion a year.
7.  28% percent of all federal prison inmates are illegal aliens.
8.  $190 billion dollars are spent each year on illegal aliens for welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.  <http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANscriptS/0610/29/ldt.01.html >
9.  $200 billion dollars per year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
10.  The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens.  In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US.
11.  During the year 2005, there were 8 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our southern border with as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from other terrorist countries.  Over 10,000 of those were middle-eastern terrorists.  Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin, crack, guns, and marijuana crossed into the U.S. from the southern border. 
12.  The National Policy Institute, estimates that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.   
13.  In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $65 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin, to their families and friends.
14.  The dark side of illegal immigration:  Nearly one million sex crimes are committed by illegal immigrants in the United States!
Total cost a whopping $538.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR!
If this doesn't bother YOU, then just delete the message.  Otherwise, forward this to everyone YOU know!
