Congress needs to enshrine important conservative concept into laws so that the next DemocRAT president cannot undo them with EOs.

Said another way, Congress is the main reason this country is in the mess it’s in and this uniparty stuff has been going on for decades and got us in $37 trillion in debt and growing.

What this country needs is to separate the blue GOPe from the red GOP and send the RINOs to hell where they belong. Make America Great Again to quote somebody rather famous.

But that’s exactly how Democratic (and RINO) presidents use EOs.

An EO can cancel a previous EO. But, an EO can’t cancel a law. Congress would have to do that and it is not easy.

Unfortunately, the clock runs only one way. America is following Europe. The “Elites” like what is happening. Their God is limited resources and it demands sacrifice.

EOs have been used to ignore laws, including Constitutional law, for decades thus far.

Richard Painter has not been a conservative for at least 20 years and is now a left-wing democrat.

[snip] On Bill Maher’s HBO program, we hear from "left-wing MAGA" pundits who have abandoned the Democratic Party because the party is corrupt and dishonest. But that voter cohort is still left-wing. [/snip]

I think we can make a distinction between anti-Semitism, and unquestioning support for what the Israeli government does. Otherwise, it would be too easy to point out many, many observant Jews who would fall under that definition of “anti-Semitic”.

Since the term Semite includes Arabs and Abyssinians, I prefer the term “anti-Jew” anyway.

Progressivism continues to be a much greater threat than socialism.

This statement has been true for over a century and everybody keeps missing it.

“special elections in deep-red states cannot change its larger decline. They are polling very weak numbers”

1) Elections are real. polls mean little. Currently we are about to fall into the Pauline Kael syndrome: Everyone I know is like me.

3) Socialism is not inherent in MAGA. Trump floated the idea of the government owning tech companies and nobody in MAGA said “what?”

Thanks for adding your comment concerning a distinction between anti-Semitism and concern for the overall US relationship with Israel. Conflating those 2 very different concepts does not enhance the discourse.

Anyone who confesses that Jesus Christ is NOT come in flesh is of anti-christ, so if you support those in Item#2 you are supporting the anti-christ.

1 John 4:
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know you the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
