It seems as if the Democrats in Washington are purposely trying to destroy Western civilization.  It is a bizarre thing to watch.

Almost everything that Biden does is destructive.  I don’t know what is in Biden’s head, if anything, but his handlers – the people calling the shots – are purposely trying to cause chaos and destruction.  I can’t fully explain it either.

I like to compare this time to when Bill Clinton was president.  I think Clinton is a criminal in many ways.  He was always in politics for the power and money and the personal pleasure it brought him.

But the corrupt and criminal things Clinton did were to generally further his own personal gain.  It was understandable in terms of incentives.  Clinton also wanted to be liked.  He was a smooth talker.

Therefore, even though he probably had socialist tendencies, he was really a politician above all.  This turned him into something of a populist.  He wasn’t purposely trying to destroy anything unless there was some kind of advantage that it gave him.

After two years of Clinton, we got a Republican-controlled Congress, and times were actually somewhat sane.  I don’t give Clinton a pass on the wars he started, but even those were minor in comparison to what was to come.  In terms of the federal budget, it was the closest thing we had seen to a balanced budget in a long time, and we haven’t come anywhere close since then.

Now we have to deal with the destroyers of civilization.  This can include rioting, purposely encouraging illegal immigration, reckless spending, surveillance, and vaccine mandates.  To be sure, I understand that not all of this is new, but it has been put on steroids.

I don’t vote that often.  When there is a House or Senate race, I don’t usually vote for either one.  I will only vote Republican if I think the person is outside of the Republican establishment.  I will vote for DeSantis for governor this November.

I don’t trust most Republicans at all.  With that said, I hope that the Democrats get absolutely trounced in November.  I would like to see the Republicans get a majority in the House by 50 or more seats.  For all of the destructive policies, particularly of the last two years, a strong message needs to be sent.

I have little faith in most Republicans, especially those in Washington DC.  But there are a few good ones, and it has gotten better over the last several years.

I would take a Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) over almost any Republican in Congress in the past, or even today.  Even on foreign policy, she is decent, and she is certainly outside the Republican establishment.

The big difference maker with someone like MTG is that she has courage.  She will stand up and say what needs to be said.  This is a quality that is often lacking in politicians.

The Power of Congress

I actually think that Congress cedes too much power.  Out of the three branches of government, Congress has become the weakest.  The executive branch (the presidency) is the worst and the most destructive.  The courts are generally bad and overstep their authority, but at least there are a lot of judges, so it isn’t all bad.

Congress is supposed to have more power to keep these other branches in check.  Instead, Congress has seemed to delegate a lot of its authorities, and most of that is unconstitutional.

All of these alphabet agencies under the executive branch shouldn’t be writing rules and regulations.  It is up to Congress to make the laws; not to delegate them out.

That’s how we get stuck with the administrative state.  That is how we get stuck with tyranny.

Imagine the power that the Republicans could exercise if they take control of Congress.  And when I say “power”, I mean the power to scale back everything that Biden and his destroyers have done.

Congress controls the power of the purse.  Funding is everything in Washington DC.

The FBI just raided Trump’s house, and it seems obvious it was purely political.  It is more intimidation and criminality coming out of the FBI.  They purposely have laws so that they can be enforced only against those who do not obey the establishment.  They can prosecute almost anybody for anything if they really want to.

I hear some Republicans calling for an investigation and even for reforming the FBI.  Let me tell you that there is no reforming the FBI, or the CIA, or the NSA.  They should all be defunded.  That should be the Republican position.

What above vaccine mandates?  Biden can’t enforce these without the alphabet agencies.  The Republicans can withhold all funding from the CDC, the FDA, and other agencies that are imposing these mandates.  That’s a quick way to get them repealed.

What about “green energy” and all of the horrible rules being imposed on car companies?  The executive branch is trying to shove electric vehicles down our collective throats.  How about we defund the EPA?

With every rule and regulation, there is some enforcement agency.  How about the Republicans take the major ones first?  By withholding funds or threatening to withhold funds from agencies, they can overturn Biden’s entire destructive agenda.

The problem is that you need Republicans who actually want to do this and are willing to take a stand.  I think the more radical (i.e., principled) Republicans in Congress need to make these suggestions and hopefully the citizenry will start pressuring bad Republicans.

Mitch McConnell isn’t going to do anything principled or right unless pressure is brought down on him to do so.  But we’ve seen some more establishment Republicans losing in their primaries, which is a good sign.  It is a signal that more will come if Republican politicians don’t start voting the way their constituents want them to vote.

This is where it is important to let your voice be heard.  Most people in Congress have no principles.  But if they hear from enough constituents on a particular issue, they can be swayed.  They will stick their finger in the political wind.  They will march with the parade.
