THE INVASION WILL CONTINUE

Well, an agreement of sorts has been reached. The Congress has three weeks to come up with a viable plan that includes money for a border wall in order for President Trump to sign it. What do you think are the odds that it will happen? Pelosi is on record as being totally opposed to any wall or barrier on our border. She and her Democrat colleagues are clearly defiant of anything Trump wants plus they are obviously for open borders since they believe the illegals who come into this country will automatically become Democrat voters. Pelosi and her ilk are trying to take the Democrats further to the left. As a Republican I say, you go girl. The closer you get to the left, the sooner you fall off the cliff.

Speaking of moving to the left, it seems that several Democrats, most of whom nobody has ever heard of, are situating themselves to run against Trump in 2020. And that now apparently includes Hillary, again. Is she serious? Oh well, the more the merrier. And the more they try to out-socialist each other, the better.

Now we hear that Howard Schultz, former head of Starbucks Coffee, is planning to run as an Independent. I think that is a great idea. He and former Mayor Bloomberg of New York can spend themselves silly and split apart any remaining semblance of the Democrat party. Now that sounds like a winning plan.

Sadly, I have watched as this great country is being pulled apart by nasty, ugly, partisan politics. In the past, honorable people in positions of authority from both sides of the aisle would sit down together and work things out. After a hard day of bargaining to enact laws, they would find time to have a nice adult beverage or two before going at it again the next day. Where has that kind of collegiality gone? Where’s Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan when we need them? Now we have Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. They are pitiful examples of elected leaders. If this republic survives, future generations will look back on us and laugh.

All of this partisanship and hate politics is serving to break this country apart. We are definitely becoming two countries. You and I should continue to thank God that we are on the right side of this nonsense.

Imagine if a civil war should happen. And don’t think that it couldn’t. Guess which side has all the guns. Guess which side the Military would be on. Guess which side produces the food for the whole country. Then you can guess which side would be sitting in the corner, lighting up a joint, trying to decide which bathroom to use and then waiting for their next government check. I think, should any civil war ever begin, it would be the shortest war in history.

But, enough of this silly talk about civil wars. What is going to come next in the hallowed halls of Congress? Who is going to be the first to defy Pelosi and Schumer? The Democrats have three weeks. If you think Trump isn’t serious, just watch. I personally think he should take all the money budgeted to non-functioning government agencies, such as Congress for example, and use that money to fund the wall. Do you think that would get their attention?

One way or another this wall issue will be resolved. But unless and until we take away the incentives for the illegal invasion of our country by people from all over the world, the problem will persist. If we don’t, we deserve the invasion.
