The Indefensible

Editor, Times-Union:
I thank God I'm a Republican because if I were a Democrat I'd have to defend so many things that are indefensible. I say the Democrat Party is a Big Tent party. The problem is that there are nothing but clowns inside. After watching the antics of Democrats and reading their opinions I'm proven correct.
Democrats who think your money is their money are complaining about the work DOGE is doing and have made Elon Musk Public Enemy Number 2 after Donald Trump. We've known about government waste for decades. But Musk is revealing the identity of the waste and Democrats are up in arms. They yell that he's unelected. Thank goodness he was never elected because politicians don't seem to have the guts to cut waste. If Trump had not been elected last November, there's no telling how many more trillions of dollars of waste would have been piled upon the trillions of debt both Democrats and Republicans have burdened us with. If I were a Democrat and were honest I'd have to say I want the economy to collapse eventually and Trump and Musk stand in the way of that happening.
Sanctuary cities and states think they can keep illegal aliens that are terrorizing the people from being deported. That would be like wanting a rapist to live next to you and you or your wife like to sunbathe in the nude outside in front of the rapist. Sanctuary cities and states go back to Civil War days when Southern states and cities decided they didn't need to follow federal laws. It's appropriate that the cities and states are run by Democrats since that was the party of slavery, Jim Crow, and prenatal extermination on demand. If they don't want to honor federal laws they shouldn't expect federal financial aid. Trump should ask them if defending criminals and protecting them from deportation is worth losing out on the money they could have gotten from Washington.
Democrats don't believe no one is above the law. They elected Biden who bragged about doing a criminal act which was a billion dollar bribe to the Ukraine government to fire a prosecutor that would have exposed his son Hunter as being a front for Barisma earning money he didn't deserve. Biden illegally canceled college debt. Hillary destroyed emails she was supposed to turn over to Congress. She retained confidential information she wasn't allowed to keep which would have sent her to federal prison if she wasn't above the law.
Democrats support the mutilation of children, boys competing against girls in sports which might damage girls physically, keeping parents from sending their kids to better schools, silencing critics, allowing mind and moral corrupting pornography to be shown to children, the use of drugs that can destroy lives, and all manner of insanity. We're in for years of insanity from Democrats.
