Republicans – Our own worst enemies!

On my last article, I kind of let everyone know how is it that I felt overall about democrats and the Democrat Party. If you read it, you know I went well out of my way in my descriptiveness and even used expletive language which is not my usual way of expressing myself, but…like I told everyone, democrats just bring the worse in me, including but not limited to using vulgarity and vulgar terms, which, by the way, I sensed was my only option to be completely honest and true to the way I feel about these mantra of evil actors plaguing our nation today.

That said, however, I do give credit to democrats for one thing, that is, how they all stick together no matter what. Wish we Republicans were as united as democrats are in there ways. Matter of fact, my narrative today is precisely about how we “Republicans” are our own worst enemies. You will have noticed that all the time, invariably, there are so-called Republican members in both Houses in Congress that not only do not vote with party-line politics but are outright critics of commonsense Republican policies. Wonder why?

I can name a lengthy list of prominent Republicans who have publicly distanced themselves from Donald Trump and have betrayed the party. The two names that first come to mind are disgusting Mitt Romney and repulsive Liz Cheney. Ask me and I think that Mitch McConnell in his role as both Senate minority and majority party leader did more harm to the party than even some of the leading democrats – that is how bad I thought this old relic was for our party. Take actors like U.S. Senator from North Carolina, Thom Tillis and U.S. Senator from Alaska, Lisa Murkowski, both these phonies might as well call themselves democrats as that is how they vote all the time. Thank God Tillis is soon to retire and says he will not seek re-election in 2026. Good riddance!

You get the point I am trying to make though. Coincidentally, the best example of what I am talking about you need not go too far back. As we speak, we have a case-in-point of precisely of what I am talking about. Republican House Speaker, Mike Johnson, rightfully just rejected a bill that his counterpart in the Senate John Thune just helped pass. Early on Friday morning at 2:20 in the morning, the Senate approved a bill by voice vote following a marathon session. They did so, in a hurry-up fashion, so that they all could flee D.C. on their two-weeks spring recess.

Thune’s legislation would fund all the Department of Homeland Security [DHS] except Immigration and Customs Enforcement a/k/a ICE, and Customs and Border Protection, both agencies representing the essence of Donald Trump’s administration designed to keep our borders closed. In short, once again, democrats are endorsing legislation to open the border so that illegal immigrants continue to flock our borders in hordes as they did during the Biden administration. I will spare you the details on both sides of the opposing arguments for and against the bill by Thune and Speaker Johnson. For the sake of this narrative suffice it to say, they both have opposing views, which again, illustrates the point I am trying to make in this narrative.

And, if you really think about it, that is just the way it has been for as back and long as I can remember. Vis-à-vis, you take the democrats leadership in both Houses of Congress, nowadays Senate’s Chuck Schumer and House Hakeem Jeffries and they are always united, ditto when Nanci Pelosi was speaker of the House, she and Schumer worked like poetry in motion. Democrats are like the famous “Three-Musketeers” – one for all and all for one.

I never thought I would say something like this, but it is time we take a page from the democrats’ strategy book and do as they do, namely, stand together regardless. Stand united come rain or shine. Anytime we show democrats party-line differences all we are doing really is opening the door for them to bamboozle the minds of the American people, yet we continue showing them our rifts, empowering them, sanctioning them, to where we could easily jeopardize our chances of keeping both Houses of Congress in the forthcoming Midterm elections, which would spell disaster for everything that Donald Trump is trying to do for our nation. A bipartisan Congress would undermine all the progress that we have achieved during Trump’s presidency.

In my books, the possibility of losing the Midterm elections would be equivalent to opening the doors for the Democrats’ Communism to continue right were they left off during the Joe Biden presidency – a scary thought to say the least. Like they say, a spoiled apple can spoil the rest. John Thune should be taken out of the job as Senate Majority Leader. If it were up to me, I would have Mike Lee, the U.S. Senator for Utah at the top of my “wish list” to replace Thune. I am really hoping Trump sees it like I do – after all he is much smarter than me, so there you go.

At times, I look at our party, the Republican party, and I am not sure that they all understand the gravity and the repercussions that can come out of their divisionism. If only they could become united, amalgamated in the way they legislate, we would be much more ahead of the game than we really are. In the example that I used today to illustrate my point, frankly, I see no reason whatsoever for anyone that calls himself or herself a Republican, I see no reason to vote for any legislation that tries to curb expenditures in agencies like ICE or CBS. It is the principle behind it. Yes, I know, both these agencies were funded in Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill, so what? Not giving them the proposed additional funding would hamper the ability of these organizations to continue cleansing the nation of all the zillions of criminals, gangsters, rapists, drug addicts, deviants, and scum of the earth illegal immigrants that Joe Biden & Co. invited here in the last administration. God save us and God save the United States of America.
