Letter to the editor: Turncoat Republicans will get their own lesson in January

OPINION:

The election results, at least most of them, are in. Iran 100, the United States 0, Israel -100.

The Democrats, who will rule the House of Representatives with arrogance, at the highest level of impunity, have vowed to end the Iran war. That is code for abandoning it the same way they abandoned Afghanistan.

They don not even need to drive President Trump from the White House; all they have to do is cut off funding for the war. The House has the power of the purse.

Then there is our border, which welcomed millions of illegal foreigners into our country when the Democrats had the White House for four years and Congress for two years. After all, everyone is entitled to free stuff if they vote Democratic, even if illegally.

Some of these invaders were young men of military age from China and the Middle East. The Democrats want to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and open the border again. Gina Hinojosa, a Democrat and the next governor of Texas, wants to end Operation Lone Star and recall the Texas National Guard from the border.

Ms. Hinojosa believes that was “political theater” and a “stunt.” Buckle up, America! When the illegals invade again, we will have more fatal accidents on our roads and freeways and our daughters will be in increased danger of rape, torture and murder.

What went wrong? Maybe President Trump should not have negotiated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC), and perhaps he should have started the blockade immediately, once the U.S. got control of the air. While he was “negotiating,” the IRGC rebuilt its military, with substantial help from Russia and China.

The elections also revealed that Mr. Trump may have overestimated the patience and resolve of the American people. They have proven to be the opposite of the Greatest Generation regarding sacrifice. They will not even tolerate a $1-per-gallon price increase on gasoline or a slight increase in grocery costs. This is in spite of the Trump administration’s significant lowering of unemployment and bringing $31 trillion in foreign investment into this country.

Many Republicans and independents decided to teach Mr. Trump a lesson by voting for Democrats last week. Alarmingly, it was estimated that 40 million Christians would not vote at all.

Yes, America, you taught President Trump and the Republicans a lesson. Come January, the Democrats will begin teaching you a lesson.
