Two whole weeks before calling for impeachment! Representative Al Green from Texas, your self-restraint and long-suffering are an inspiration. Five-year-olds everywhere could learn from you. Sugar highs and political grandstanding may be within arm’s reach, but maturity and self-restraint are powerfully shown when such gratifications are denied at least a few minutes into a meal, or days into a president’s term of office.
Let’s get real: Democrats and "RINOs" have been strategizing on how to stop Trump from shortly after midnight, November 6, 2024. Trump’s inauguration speech on January 20, 2025 promised advocacy for America first. He promised four years of “common sense” government that would deliver positive results for the American people. The facial expressions of some in the Rotunda that day seemed to say, “This must not be!”
Under Trump, our nation is in the process of being freed from years of consistently detrimental (and frequently unconstitutional) laws, policies and precedents imposed on us by liberals. Were some of these laws originally crafted with good intent? For sure.
But well-wishing and self-congratulatory altruism from think tank theoreticians are not the litmus tests for good government. “The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government,” said Thomas Jefferson. He and the Founders have been in agreement that recent liberal actions (like funding terrorists, destabilizing the Middle East, introducing children to transgender ideology and welcoming millions of illegals across an open border) betray such criteria.
Days, then minutes before leaving office, Biden handed out presidential pardons like party favors — pardons worded so as to exonerate the recipients of crimes not committed. Leftist political allies and family members were given legal absolution even for activities they hadn’t done.
Democrat policies enacted in the real world have yielded incredibly poor results, not just over the last four years, but over the past six decades. Perhaps that is why Biden, the Squad, Green and other Democrats have blazed new trails of ideas and litigation in the theoretical realms.
Democrat ideologues have often reminded the rest of us how they were smarter, cared more deeply and knew much better. But leftist ideas fail consistently in that aggravating realm we call life. Thankfully, Democrats have a more workable environment in which to hatch their positions on gender, the rule of law, immigration, economics and how to best spend the money of the American people: That ever-benevolent realm unvexed by bothersome . . . facts, our happy place called “the theoretical.”
A decade and a half before making it to the Oval Office, Ronald Reagan famously said, “The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.” With a zeal undiminished by consistently negative outcomes, the Democratic party advocates for beliefs and laws that are anti-reality. And though I don’t hold out hope that many Dem leaders will acknowledge this, their positions are counter to the will of many millions of U.S. voters.
We now have a president who stands against the wasteful dreams of liberal utopianism. And Washington’s wasteful utopians aren’t happy about this.
Will this witch hunt de jour against Trump — being launched by Rep. Al Green and his ideological compatriots — have legs? An unsuccessful attempt was made to impeach Trump in 2017. In 2019 and 2021, he was formally impeached. You may be sure — and I mean unequivocally certain — that Dems will invest themselves in repeated attempts to impeach, impugn, obstruct and remove Trump from office. One or two rinos will likely help. Politics makes for strange swamp fellows.
To understand Trump (and maybe begin to appreciate the grand opportunity that his presidency represents for this nation) you have to read “The Art of the Deal.” Career politicians are losing their minds over Trump’s plans, domestic and international.
Abolishing obsolete departments at home and making plans for Gaza abroad — such entrepreneurial machismo on the part of a U.S. president is unnerving for many. The word “unhinged” is being tossed about in this week’s news. But of those in D.C. who may be unhinged, that is not our 47th president. A prosperous America and a safer world are being negotiated. Let’s hope that impeachment trials and obstruction tactics don’t prevent such.
For Rep. Green, AOC, and any impeachment-eager colleagues, you have permission to go eat some sugar packets. Why not enjoy that momentary rush, rather than the pleasure you seem to feel in harming America?
