Follow the man! And make sure to read his post below
The equinox passes and suddenly your nights are shorter than your days, if only just.
You may need not worry about the cold, about splitting wood or heating your home.
Are you ready for the dark, though? Have you stored enough good light in your heart during the languid days of summer to get you through? Did you make the best use of the short time you had?
Whatever the case may be, a quieter and more reflective time is coming. More time to think and take stock of all you did and all you have yet to do.
This is good.

Immigration can be beneficial but we should treat our country like our home. We have a duty to protect those in our home that supersedes offering shelter to strangers. Vetting efficiently and safely solves the reckless immigration and its consequences. We want earnest people that help maintain and build up the nation's vitality first and foremost
