Trump called the Iranian nuclear deal brokered by Obama the worst, most one-sided deal ever entered into by the United States. As for Venezuela, Trump singled out the root cause of its economic collapse under the dictatorship of Nicolas Maduro. “The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented, but that socialism has been faithfully implemented,” the president said to a round of applause, despite the fact the L.A. Times called this a gratuitous insult and a simplistic denunciation of socialism likely to offend many coun- tries. “From the Soviet Union to Cuba to Venezuela, wherever true socialism or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish and devastation and failure. Those who preach the tenets of these discredited ideologies only contrib- ute to the continued suffering of the peo- ple who live under these cruel systems.” He also warned the U.N. members that the United States is fully aware that it bears a disproportionate burden, noting there are 193 countries in the U.N., but the U.S. pays 22 percent of the entire budget. Trump concluded his tell-it-like-it-is speech with a stirring call to action, “So let this be our mission, and let this be our message to the world: We will fight together, sacrifice together, and stand together for peace, for freedom, for justice, for family, for humanity, and for the almighty God who made us all.” The liberal media is going to criticize Trump no matter what he says, and he too often deserves criticism for pop- ping off. Perhaps he should give more speeches like this one and send fewer Tweets. — TM Lincoln County Record || The Week of Sept. 29, 2017 Page 5 sports lchs football pvhs volleyball Panther girls open league in first place By Dave Maxwell A large number of points Pahranagat Valley earned in the matches last week Last week at home in Alamo, the resulted from errors made by the oppo- Pahranagat Valley girls volleyball team nents. had matches to open league play.

column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues

already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle.
