Differences of opinion are healthy and vital in a free country. National unity and mutual respect are not threatened by differences of opinion but by the destruc- tion of our first principles that guarantee every Amer- ica equal protection of life, liberty and property. Politics of identity, special interests or moral relativism rely on feeding the vulner- able fake news rather than truth. Our national health and prosperity are endan- gered when the truth is lost to politics. This is what voters should be thinking about between now and Nov. 6.

But immi- gration officials can't worry about being fashionable, or politically correct. They're required by law to put the safety of Americans first. The irony is, Mr. Trump's critics don't even seem to consider that South Ameri- can left-wing parties may be manipulating the poor peo- ple in this migrant caravan. "The timing before the U.S.'s midterm elections and the change of presidency in Mexico is not coincidental," Latin America expert Ana Quintana says. "It is also clear the caravan organizers are more interested in creat- ing turmoil than the well-be- ing of the migrants." Those of us who care about both Americans and would-be Americans are called to a higher standard. We should never fail to welcome those who wish to enter legally and become true Americans. But we must never allow our com- passion to override our com- mon sense, or let us forget that we're a nation of laws — for the liberty and pro- tection of all.

You say, "Williams, it would be sheer lunacy for scarce state resources to be used that way, espe- cially in the face of a natural disaster! " I think you're right. Another method would be for the governor, mayors and church and community leaders to admonish North Carolinians to purchase gaso- line only if they really need it. That way, plenty of gas would be available for those with nearly empty tanks. You might say, "Come on, Williams. Aren't you being a bit naive thinking that would work? " You're probably right again. What I think would make gas avail- able to those who really need it are rising prices. Suppose the pre-hurri- cane price of gas was $2.60 a gallon. As the hurricane approaches, dealers could let the price rise to $4 a gallon. That would give families who have enough gas to evacuate incentive to voluntarily forgo purchasing gasoline. Their voluntary decision would make more gas available for people who des- perately need it. By the way, gas avail- able at $4 a gallon seems more pref- erable than gas stations shut down because they have sold out of gas at $2.60 a gallon. You might reluctantly agree that al- lowing prices to rise during a natural disaster helps allocate resources, but that's not the intention of sellers who raise prices. They are in it for windfall profit. I say: So what? It's what their actions accomplish that's important — namely, getting people to conserve during a natural disaster. Also, high- er prices create incentives for suppli- ers of all kinds of goods — such as ply- wood, bottled water, generators and repair services — to pitch in to help to restore people's lives.

My favor- ite two ways to prepare the dish are super creamy with heavy whipping and lots of butter or cream cooked right in; or super chunky with a lot less mashing and stirring and a lot more spic- es, usually garlic. While the traditional Idaho potato is al- ways going to go over well, you can also mash up some smaller red potatoes (leave the skin on!) for a great twist on the dish. Hope you're as hungry as I am after reading all that. As we close in on Thanks- giving, my wife is planning to join me for an upcoming column where we'll explore multiple ways to prepare the same Thanksgiving dish. I can't wait to try them! Have a great week! to be directed to the good of those who confer, not of those who receive the trust." By Cicero.

And have a great week. is the glue that held the na- tion together and produced a unified culture and belief system. Progressives [and they are of all political persua- sions] hate President Trump and all things wrong, bad, and evil are his fault. They do not "get" why Donald Trump was elected Presi- dent. Daily the media swamps the nation with stories that Trump is the reason why "xyz" has surfaced in our nation. Washington sniper, James Hodgkinson, hated Trump and took out his anger on a crowd of Republican sen- ators practicing for a ball game. Wannabe Mail Bomber Cesar Sayoc is a Trump sup- porter. Proof positive. Robert Bowers hates Jews and Trump and killed 11 and wounded 6 at a synagogue in Pittsburgh; protestors who were at the Synagogue when Trump visited screamed "It is Trump's fault." I detect a pattern of con- frontation, and I fear it is not going to end anytime soon. California Representative Maxine Waters says people need to confront and harass Trump supports who are not "Welcome Anymore, Any- where. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for and believe in. Former At- torney General Eric Holder said, "When they go low, we kick them." President Trump has called on America to tone down the political rhetoric. He recently told supporters that there needs to be a new "tone and civility" in poli- tics- "Everyone will bene- fit if we can end the politics of personal destruction; the media has a major role to play, whether they want to or not." What was the response? Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Nancy Pelo- si wrote, "We listened with great interest to the Pres- ident's remarks this after- noon…However, President Trump's words ring hollow until he reverses his state- ments that condone acts of violence." Whether you support or oppose President Trump's policies is irrelevant. A lack civility and respect for oth- ers from Christians is trou- bling because the Apos- tle Peter wrote to the faith- ful, "Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king." The Apostle Paul wrote to the Church at Rome, what would be considered today a biting admonition, "For rul- ers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same." Jesus admonished us in the parable of the Good Sa- maritan to treat others as we would yourselves. Today when people try to show love and respect for others, they themselves are opposed. Think about it as you pray for our leaders and nation!
