“We are from the government and we’re here to help”
NOT!!!
Historically, politicians have attempted to hide their desires to raise your taxes.
Historically, politicians have attempted to hide their socialist tendencies.
Historically, politicians have at least “attempted” to “appear” they are representing their constituents.
Historically, politicians at least attempted to “discuss” what’s best for the country.
But the political theater has changed. Fiscal responsibility isn’t important. It’s given way to financing liberal agendas.
Capitalism is being attacked as the problem, not the roadmap to the American dream.
Politicians act as if they don’t even know how a Republic works, much less give it credence.
“What’s best for the country” has succumb to what’s best for party.
Frankly, I’m beginning to feel better when the government is shut down and only essential services are covered.
So much seems to be hidden from the American people, it’s difficult to determine the best approach to governance!
But when liberal Democrats want to use my money for transgender studies and DEI training in other countries, for example, it isn’t difficult to understand that they DO NOT have my best interest at heart.
It’s time for a common sense approach. President Trump is, by far, the most common sense driven leader we’ve had in Washington in my lifetime.
If the choice is between shutting the government down or continuing to frivolously spend my hard-earned tax dollars for outlandish, ridiculous pursuits???
I say, shut it down and learn how to live as most Americans do –
Within our means!
Remember, when you vote, you are essentially planning for your financial future. It requires education and planning.
Failing to plan is, well, you know, planning to fail.
“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour”.
——————-
Let me be clear. I’m unapologetic about calling out evil.
A late night host was suspended 4 days and liberals claimed it was an infringement of his First Amendment rights.
Charlie Kirk was shot while exercising his First Amendment rights and the liberals shouted he deserved it.
I’m sick and tired of liberal hypocrisy.
People are dying because of the left’s rhetoric, yet they blame conservatives and Donald Trump.
Following George Floyd, cities were burned and looted. They called them mostly peaceful.
Following Charlie Kirk, cities prayed. Liberals chose not to participate.
Whose rhetoric is causing the death and chaos? The, progressive, liberal left.
Liberal politicians are intentionally fanning the flames of discontent attempting to reframe the narrative. They know they cannot possibly win in the exchange of sensible ideas and debate, so they are playing the role of antagonist in fomenting hatred and fear mongering.
The liberal left is hoping that if they can bring Americans to their knees in the face of fear and danger they can then blame it on President Trump and win back your vote.
All of this destruction simply to return to power.
To hell with your safety and livelihood. They believe you’re too ignorant to know what’s best for you and your family, not that it matters.
If it stands in the way of the progressive power grab, it is the enemy and must be destroyed.
Liberals will destroy your children’s mental health if it means staying in power.
Liberals will destroy the economy if it means staying in power.
Liberals will destroy our nation’s sovereignty if it means staying in power.
Liberals will destroy our political system if it means staying in power.
Liberals will steal, kill and destroy if it means staying in power.
All that matters to the left is winning – at any cost.
“…he was in a bind, way behind, willing to make a deal.”
Understand, this is not the Democrat party of John F. Kennedy, or even Bill Clinton.
Cognitively or otherwise, this group of modern day leftists have sold their very soul in return for power.
And sadly, they are abandoning their constituents in the sinister transaction.
It’s extremely telling that Democrats spend all of their time protesting on behalf of evil pursuits versus representing you.
Frankly, it’s pathetic.
Where were they following the deaths of Laken Riley, Rachael Morin, Jocelyn Nungaray, Iryna Zarutska or even Charlie Kirk?
Why do you suppose they ignore the victims and fight for the criminals?
Understand, it’s all about creating a voter base and districting that will keep them in power.
During the Biden administration, not only were illegals allowed to enter our country illegally, they were incentivized to do so, all at the expense and demise of our Republic.
Now that President Trump has stopped the bleeding at the border, all Democrats can do is attempt to keep as many as possible, in hopes of keeping as many voting districts as “blue” as possible.
Crime? Death? Destruction?
It doesn’t even factor into the equation. Chaos is embraced by Democrats right now. They predictably blame it on the current administration. They never allow a crisis to go to waste!
Truth? Honor? Values?
Democrats have abandoned the very concepts. And the liberal media are complicit. Honestly, the media are just riding the coat tails of the left for the midnight ride. They didn’t have a soul with which to barter.
Constitutional rights? Freedoms? Liberties?
Sure, as long as Christian values aren’t used in the interpretation and dispensation!
Progressive Democrats met the devil on his terms, with absolutely everything on the table, including their souls.
The stakes? The soul of every liberal democrat and the freedom, liberty and safety of all Americans.
What does winning look like for Democrats? …Just raw, unmitigated, self-serving power.
These are evil, disturbed people who are using the lives of the very people who elected them to barter with the devil for power.
It’s important to understand they have successfully blinded the eyes of millions of unsuspecting people and they will be relentless in providing fuel to the fire of deception.
We must be more relentless in using our faith and values to defeat the enemy. As Christians, we have been given the power and authority in Jesus’ Name!
But we have to exercise it!
When I think of the Bible’s depiction of the devil as a “roaring lion seeking whom he may devour”, I see the Democrat Party. They roar loudly and seek the pursuit of evil and chaos, rather than liberty and justice.
Election precincts are the only fields of battle where this particular evil may be defeated. God loves us, but He is not going to empower Angels to vote on our behalf!
(Only Democrats do that with illegals)
Get informed. Get engaged. Get to the polls.
It’s the only way to strike at the heart of this evil party..
Democrats are collapsing beneath the weight of Trump’s wins!
Most politicians “over promise and under deliver” during their campaigns and into their role. They’re totally comfortable doing so, as it seems to be enough to get many of them elected. Their “model” if you will, is to grab the attention of the voter and subsequently hope that the success rate of their promised accomplishments will not be tracked.
Some campaigners use a “smoke and mirrors” strategy, aiming to exceed expectations by consistently under-promising and over-delivering. Unfortunately, this positions the elected official to be able to maintain the status quo without ever having to put forth any real effort to improve their skills in representation.
President Donald Trump has an altogether different approach. This skilled negotiating businessman chooses to make his promises based on common sense and the reality of the moment, then he is committed to exceeding everyone’s expectations! This inevitably forces him to “up his game” to over deliver on attainable promises, which he does time and again. As a builder, he was always on time with his project and under budget!
This attitude is what makes President Trump unique, both as an individual and as a commander-in-chief.
I just started my third time reading his book, “Trump: The Art of the Deal”. Donald Trump doesn’t drink, he doesn’t smoke, and he certainly doesn’t take drugs. In fact, he hates to take medicines altogether!
President Trump gets his kicks by making deals, and the bigger and more difficult the deal, the better! As the leader of the free world, he is now using those skills he has mastered and employed since he was 27 years old, on behalf of the American people.
Democrats cannot keep up with him. By the time mount a defensive posture on an issue, President Trump is already three deals ahead of them. The absolute only position liberals can take is an “anti-everything” Trump, which has given them the lowest approval rating in history.
Let’s face it. Democrats will do or say anything to see Donald Trump fail. Frankly, as seen in recent headlines, it doesn’t matter if it means loss of life or damage to our nation!
Liberal politicians are being exposed by their offenses. Our nation was in a downhill spiral during the Biden presidency, and they were completely fine with it! Control and power are their master motivator! Democrats have totally abandoned the ideology of our Republic.
I’m taken back each time I hear a political pundit refer to Democrats as the “Democratic Party”. Democracy left Democrats years ago! The term “Democratic” is an adjective describing this group of lost socialists. They are simply the Democrat Party!
In this columnist’s opinion, we are blessed as a nation to have a president committed to exceeding our nation’s expectations! He is bringing our nation back to common sense and back to God.
I expect, given his success, Democrats are going to be miserable for a very long time.
And that’s a good thing for our nation which is, once again, winning!
Barack Hussein Obama was a U.S. president from January 20, 2009 to January 20, 2017
There are many direct correlations to be made from the Obama presidency to the state of our union pre-President Trump.
Barack Obama had an opportunity to unify our country as the first African American president. He chose, rather to be the divider-in-chief and fuel racial discrimination in the US.
He also chose to leverage the office of the president to wield our justice system as a tool to remain in power and disenfranchise American voters.
Remember his world “apology tour” immediately upon assuming the presidency? He used the tour to diminished the premise of American exceptionalism!
I submit the Obama presidency could have been one of the greatest presidencies in our history – if he had only loved our country.
The Democrat party has become the most prolific sponsor of domestic terrorism in the United States.
I wish I were embellishing.
President Donald Trump was elected on his promise to close our borders to illegal immigration and strategically remove illegals within our country, beginning with, but not limited to, the criminals.
Less than 6 months following his inauguration, he has already successfully closed our borders, something Joe Biden and Kamala Harris said couldn’t be done without legislation.
The majority of Americans are ecstatic they finally elected a president willing to keep his promises!
Yet Democrats are not only encouraging criminal behaviors in aiding and abetting these illegals, in liberal states like California, they are willing to provide taxpayer dollars to these illegal aliens for legal fees! Additionally, they are willing to not only provide sanctuary but provide some sort of alert support system when ICE agents are planning to sweep the area.
Multiple news outlets report that illegal attacks on the law enforcement individuals are up over 700 percent! And Democrats are cheering them on!
In blue states across the country we are seeing protests, often involving rock throwing, bottles hurled, and even guns being fired in an attempt to stop these brave individuals from doing their jobs.
Any rational person would agree this is inappropriate, lawless behavior, but no one on the left has condemned these protests.
But Democrats have ceased being rational. They have ceased representation. They have embarked upon a progressive agenda that simply involves “anti-Trump” rhetoric. If President Trump supports it, we must fight it, regardless of the impact on U.S. citizens.
Democrats are showing a complete disregard for our country and the rule of law. It simply does not matter to them any longer if it ever really did.
Initially, Trump Derangement Syndrome was a term that facetiously referenced the hatred of our president. But something, truly, has happened to these individuals who were elected by their constituents to represent them in our republic.
They seem to be willing to turn a blind eye to violence, murder, rape, human trafficking and even death to see President Donald Trump fail – at anything.
We can only hope and pray that voters see the light and realize Democrats no longer represent them.
They are, in fact and in action, putting their constituent’s lives at risk.
LOS ANGELES — Leftwing nonprofit groups are openly helping to fuel anti-ICE riots here by handing out “F–k ICE” packs with protective equipment — as protesters continue to take over downtown every night and engage in rolling battles with cops, federal agents and National Guard troops.
Chilling footage revealed one unidentified group handing out a truckload of face shields and other riot gear to protesters in downtown Los Angeles. The “F–k ICE” packages — which include goggles, facemasks, gloves and a phone number for “jail support” — are being assembled and distributed by a nonprofit called Operation Healthy Grassroots.
It’s just one of several organizations that started as grassroots community aid agencies, but have been wading into politics and throwing their weight behind left-wing street protests.At least one group received federal funding before the Trump administration turned off the spigot.
All conservative media must STOP calling this group of left wing idealists the “Democratic Party”! “Democratic” is an adjective relating to democracy and its principles! It is simply the “Democrat party” And they’ve lost their way – badly!
The Democrat Party is dying beneath the weight of its own ignorance and the unwillingness of elected officials to represent their constituency. They choose, rather, to leverage their bully pulpit to espouse their liberal ideology.
This is NOT the foundation of our Republic.
Choosing the wrong side of every sociopolitical issue is the wrong way to advance their party or our nation.
Who do they feel they represent in these 90/10 or 80/20 issues?
The fact is, they couldn’t care less!
They are not interested in representation, only advancing a far left, socialist agenda that captures more people in their entitlement net.
If they don’t change, the party will fade away in lieu of a 3rd, more moderate, representative party.
But for now, don’t align them with anything having to do with Democracy.
Mark Caserta is a resident of Wayne County, WV. and has been a conservative columnist for 25 years.
While many so-called politicians have forgotten their primary duty of representation, the Democrat Party has one foot in the grave and the other on thin ice when it comes to maintaining their legitimacy.
It is unfathomable that in our Republic form of government, (in which citizens vote for individuals whose job is solely to represent their constituents in government) the so-called “representatives” would choose to represent the 20 percent “radical” ideology of an issue rather than the clear majority of voters!
These are the current “hills” Democrats have been willing to die on! It is quite remarkable when you tally all of the lunacy!
Democrats support open borders – period. Come one, come all. Just be sure you vote for the hand that feeds you with taxpayer dollars. They are willing to provide housing, healthcare and all the amenities for anyone willing to come to the U.S. and help keep them in power.
Democrats are against requiring any proof of citizenship prior to being allowed to vote. Why? The answer, once again, can only be they want illegals to be complicit in their fight to stay in power.
Democrats fight for the rights of illegal aliens, to include terrorist groups like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua while absolutely ignoring the rights of American citizens, such as Rachael Morin, Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, each horrifically murdered by illegals in our country. Liberal Democrats refuse to even mention their names in the conversation.
Democrats are against the deportation of criminal illegal aliens and have even traveled to El Salvador in an attempt to initiate the return of one such confirmed member of a terrorist organization. They spend their time and your money attempting to stop President Trump from doing what he promised he would do, at the risk of American lives and safety. Liberal judges have even gone as far as order plane load of illegals returned to our country!
Democrats are against lowering your taxes. In fact, they want to raise your taxes! This is particularly egregious considering the amount of waste, fraud and abuse DOGE uncovered.
Democrats are against the aforementioned, Department of Government Efficiency! Why? Clearly, it’s because they were being shown and feckless, inefficient boobs who were more focused on becoming millionaires on your dime than they were making American great!
Democrats do not believe there are only two genders, male and female. It’s the epitome of hypocrisy that the very individuals who cling dearly to the “science of climate change” totally ignore it when it comes to biological gender.
Democrats believe in allowing some young people to be convinced they require a “gender reassignment” in order to be content and live life happily. Obviously, God made a mistake, but with certain man-made medications, God’s error can be corrected. Oh, and by the way, your parents do not need to know!
Democrats support allowing men, who identify as women, to compete in women’s sports. It’s hard to believe we are even having this conversation, but these are the same “liberal loons” who support a woman’s right to an abortion but ignore their right to compete safely and fairly in sports. What happens when a male weightlifter says he now identifies as a woman and competes in female powerlifting events? How ludicrous is that?
Democrats believe a baby in the womb does not represent “life” until it is birthed and fight for abortion on demand during any stage of the pregnancy. Even then, some liberals want to legalize post-birth abortion simply on the grounds of mother’s rights. These are the same morons who would claim we found life on Mars if a microbe was located. Common sense is not permitted in the Democrat Party.
One cannot help but wonder about the legitimacy of the Democrat Party! Who are these people? Who do they feel they represent? Liberal Democrats are willingly making our nation’s system of checks and balances invalid, due to their ignorance. They are out of ideas and out of the will of most Americans.
If the Democrat Party does not begin representing the people who elected them, they will disappear, and a third party will emerge. And if they cannot abide by the Constitution and do their jobs – good riddance!
The job of an elected representative in our Republic, is to represent the people who elected them – period. May we all be reminded that knowledge, in itself, is not power. But the ability to use that knowledge on behalf of the people is the power voters expect politicians to usurp.
