On January 20th, 2025, the 47th President of the United States, Mr. William James Adams began his first address to the nation as president. He first thanked the Americans for their faith in him by electing him to the office. Then he jumped right into the issues of the day.
My fellow Americans, we have reached a crisis in our great country. It is normal to be faced with challenges such as we have as our country matures. But it is not the proper response to ignore this crisis and pretend it doesn’t exist or to shuffle the responsibility to someone else. We are all involved and affected, either directly or indirectly and as such, we must all work together to solve this crisis.
I am speaking of the homeless crisis. Each of us are involved in one way or another, whether it is because we have a homeless family member or because our business is affected by homeless people sleeping on the street in front of it. I’m sure many of you are thinking of other ways you have been impacted that haven’t been mentioned. Nevertheless, my point is we must work together to solve this problem.
My commendations go to the homeless solution experiment in Portland, Oregon. Their streets are completely cleared of all homeless. The sober ex-homeless who are aboard Paradise Found will be moving back into Portland into one of three beautiful apartment buildings where they will find a job waiting for them and truly affordable rent! I am proud of the ones who have worked hard to make this happen. However I am saddened to think of the other part of the program that has failed our citizens in a major way. Around 1,500 of our elderly were put to death and buried in a mass grave. Many of them were veterans who gave up years of their lives for our country. Fellow countrymen these things ought not to be! All of the drug addicts and alcoholics faced the same tragedy.
I want to suggest we learn from both the good examples and the bad. We can emulate the good examples, adding improvements and change what did not work. We need to build housing for all of the sober, homeless people. This will include our elderly. The elderly, our grandmothers, grandfathers, veterans, etc. are not disposable people.

Next, we will have to deal with the addicts. The original idea that Portland had will be put into effect. Each of the homeless addicts will be put into a 6 month rehab program and the successful ones will be reincorporated into society. The ones who refuse to cooperate and revert to drugs will then be eliminated. Street drugs will no longer be legal. Anyone dealing drugs will be eliminated immediately, no mercy shown.
Mr. Bob Perkins, the present president of the homeless solution, will be in charge of the operation, reporting directly to me. He is experienced and I believe he will make a fine leader for this important project.
Next, an all important question I imagine most of you are asking is where will we get the money to accomplish all of this?
Good question. Let me share with you a quote from the good book. ‘He that cares not for his own is worse than an infidel.’ It means just what it sounds like. It is a wonderful thing that we care about struggling countries and want to give them a leg up, but not at the expense of our own countrymen.
When the poor and or homeless, most of whom have been paying into taxes for most of their lives, see us sending billions of dollars of tax money to other countries but find themselves unable to get basic everyday necessities, there is something wrong with our system. This must be addressed and changed.
Jim looked at Donald and asked him, “What do you think, Donald? Is this new president actually going to do anything to help the people or is he just blowing smoke up our asses?”
“I don’t know Jim, we have had plenty of people make beautiful promises that came to nothing once they got elected.”
Jim returned, “Yes, but there is a difference. He is already elected! Maybe this country stands a chance!”
