She’s baaa-aaak! Imagining herself suddenly somehow equal to
the President of the United States, Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, basked in the glory of getting the gavel returned, after
Democrats won back control of the House in the mid-term election.
Anxious to get back control of the House and wallowing in
the glory of things to come, prior to the opening of the 2019 Congress caucusing
Democrats, led by Maxine Waters, D-CA were overheard singing: “Investigate!
Salivate! Dance to the music!”
And right on cue, the political foolishness began. The bad
ideas Democrats had been discussing and preparing to unleash were officially
unleashed.
Barely after members were sworn in and the election of the
Speaker was completed, Rep. Brad Sherman, D-CA, rushed forth to introduce
articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump as his first order of
business.
Not long after that, Rep. Steve Cohen, D-TN, introduced a
few new bills, one of which proposes the elimination of the Electoral College.
They also introduced a bill that many people would support
to fund government agencies affected by the shutdown. Too good to be true,
however, the bill also contained a hidden element that would provide more than
a half-billion dollars in pro-abortion funding, including repealing a provision
implemented by the Trump administration that would not fund NGOs that engaged
in pro-abortion activities.
On the matter of impeachment, freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib,
D-MI, wasted no time in calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump
just hours after being sworn in.
Speaking to a crowd of supporters Thursday night, Tlaib
said: "People love you and you win. And when your son looks at you and
says, 'Momma, look you won. Bullies don't win.' And I said, 'Baby, they don't,
because we’re gonna go in there and we’re gonna impeach the [vulgarity deleted].'”
Where the comment immediately placed her high in the running
for the “2019 Classless Congressional Comment” award, it also garnered her much
attention, but also a little welcome Democrat criticism.
Defensively, Tlaib pointed out that her “colorful” language
should not overshadow her message. Well, if your message is really important to
you, don’t use colorful language that interferes with it.
While we are on the topic of newbies, the freshman Democrat
Darling and self-described socialist and radical, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has
danced and talked her way into the limelight.
Her dancing may well be the strongest of her talents, with
economic understanding bringing up the rear. The 29 year-old Representative has
displayed a great lack of understanding of her country’s Constitution and
government organization, characteristic of many others of her age.
She has expressed strong support for raising taxes on the
highest wage earners to as much as 70 percent to pay for her list of
socialistic freebies. As ridiculous an idea as this is, it wouldn’t make a dent
in the costs of the programs she favors.
A 70 percent tax is punitive, and would shift a great deal
of money to government use rather than use by those who earned it, and has very
little support. It heaps unjust obligations on the top earners, who already
shoulder a hugely disproportionate share of America’s tax bill.
Democrats apparently have been forbidden from discussing the
death of Police Officer Ronil Singh, the most recent American to be killed by
an illegal alien. Nancy Pelosi reportedly responded to a question about this
senseless crime, “No comment.”
The ban on discussion is apparently complete, prohibiting
even the expression of sympathy to Singh’s family and fellow officers, lest they
admit indirectly that we have a true and serious illegal alien problem that
includes sanctuary cities/fugitive cities. They didn’t even allow the automatic
reaction to a gun death: the call for gun control.
As the 18th partial
shutdown of the federal government since 1976 continues into its second week,
there is no agreement between Congressional Democrats and President Trump to
end it, as this is written.
Ranging from a few days to more than a month, under six
presidents, both Democrat and Republican – Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton,
G.H.W. Bush and Obama – government shutdowns are not uncommon. The longest one
lasted 32 days under Bill Clinton.
The responsibility for the security of the United States and
its citizens falls upon the shoulders of the Executive Branch: the President,
not the Speaker of the House or the Senate Minority Leader.
Following the advice – the sincere and desperation-prompted
pleas – of the people who are on the border trying to secure it, Trump wants an
impenetrable barrier along sections of the border.
Under those conditions, Congressional Democrats, who voted
to fund a wall previously, are instead acting to support the status quo, which
includes the horrible things illegal aliens have done and will do, while Trump
is working to secure the border and improve the immigration process.
In 1986, Ronald Reagan gave amnesty to 3 million people in
exchange for the promise of border security. But border security was not
achieved. Reagan said that was his biggest mistake. Trump does not want to make
that same mistake.
In other news, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-TX, introduced a
Congressional term limits bill.
