What a Democratic Congress Will Look Like

Three weeks from today American voters will decide what kind of government we will have for the next two years.  The past two years have seen the Trump Administration make significant progress in improving the nation’s economy, national security, and international stature.  Remarkable economic growth is occurring, unemployment is at its lowest levels in decades, two constitutionalist U.S. Supreme Court judges have been confirmed, and additional constitutionalist judges are filling vacancies on the federal district and appellate courts.  Our military is experiencing a long overdue increase in defense spending and strategic support as President Trump and his national security team are formulating strategies and policies to deal with resurgent great power competition and making the U.S. military a lethal killing machine instead of focusing on social engineering.

This, in turn, is helping increase our international stature and nations now know that the days of leading from behind, as occurred during the Obama Administration, are over.  We still need to do significant work to lower the budget deficit and national debt, reform entitlement spending, implement a consumer driven and market focused health care system, and enhance immigration by building a wall on the Mexican border, enforcing workplace violations of immigration laws, eliminating sanctuary cities, and ensuring that future immigrants are high skilled workers with the personal moral skills necessary to assimilate and become productive members of our society.

Yet, there remains the dangerous possibility that American voters will return control of Congress to the Democrats like a dog returning to its vomit and a fool repeating its folly.  Let’s take a trip down memory lane to the last time Democrats controlled both Houses of Congress between 2007-2010.  Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House and would become Speaker again if we make the mistake of entrusting Democrats with control of the people’s house.  It is instructive to look at who would chair key House Committees in the event of a Democratic takeover.  Remember, committees are where Congress does its substantive legislative work such as passing legislation and conducting oversight.  If Congress goes to Democratic control let’s take a look at some Democratic demagogues who would become Committee Chairs.  In the House Nita Lowey of New York would become the Appropriations Committee Chair, Virginia’s Bobby Scott would chair the Education and Workforce Committee, angry little girl and ethically corrupt Maxine Waters would become Financial Services Chair, New York’s Jerry Nadler (a stalwart defender of the Clinton’s during the 1998 impeachment drama) would become Judicary Committee Chair, Maryland’s Elijah Cummings would become Oversight & Government Reform Committee Chair, and snarky Adam Schiff of California would become Intelligence Committee Chair.

These vermin would be fixated on impeaching President Trump for nonexistent high crimes and misdemeanors, their monomaniacal Russian collusion fixation, encourage the maelstrom of activities systemic to illegal immigration, indulge Antifa, Black Lives Mater, and other criminal apologist organizations, and indulge in their nefarious penchant for group identity politics most vividly demonstrated during the Senate’s Kavanaugh hearings.

Let’s head over to the Senate side of Capitol Hill and see what a Dantesque Democratic controlled inferno would look like in that chamber.  The insufferably obnoxious Chuck Schumer becomes Senate Majority Leader and is Illinois toady Dick Durbin becomes Majority Whip where they would pursue the same nefarious legislative and oversight agenda of the House.    Vermont’s Patrick Leahy would become Appropriations Committee Chair, his Vermont brother demagogue Bernie Sanders would become Senate Budget Committee Chair and seek to impose his socialist superstitions and dogma on the federal budget, one-time wife beating Delaware Senator Tom Carper would become Environment & Public Works Committee Chair, congenitally corrupt Bob Menendez of New Jersey would become Foreign Relations Committee Chair, and the execrable Diane Feinstein would become Senate Judiciary Committee Chair.  Talk about  a vision of hell!

Americans have a clear choice before them in three weeks. Continue the progress and policymaking improvement occurring during the Trump Administration’s first 20 months by retaining a Republican House and  Senate, or spitting in your face and electing depraved Democratic majorities who will coddle criminals, promote insidious group identity politics, prevent the confirmation of constitutionalist judges, engage in wasteful and ludicrous investigations of non-existent collusion, continue their dubious belief that the only acceptable form of health care is nationalized and top-down which is not free to all, panders to foreign enemies, restrict freedom of speech, religion, and the right to keep and bear arms, and endanger the security of our allies.

Do we want to empower angry little girls like Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris, Mazie Hirono, colicky papoose Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Diane Feinstein, along with their emasculated toadies Corey Booker and Chris Coons?  Instead we could elect intelligent individuals like Missouri’s Josh Hawley, Arizona’s Martha McSally, Marsha Blackburn and other leaders who seek the good of all Americans regardless of their national origin, race, gender, or socio-economic status.  This is a critically important election.  Trump supporters need to vote en masse, like they did in 2016, if the Trump train is to continue moving forward.
