THE CRISIS FROM WITHIN, THE PRESENT STATE OF THE NATION:
PART 1: THE SQUAD IN CONGRESS
May 23, 2021 Editorial & Opinion By: EngleBrook Independent News,
After the controversial 2016 Presidential victory by Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. The Republicans won more than the Presidency, The Party also held onto its majority in the House and Senate. For the first time since 2007, Republicans will control both the executive and legislative branches of our government.
As The Obama Administration was coming to a close, and the reality of Donald Trump becoming the new Commander in Chief of the United States, this would thrust both parties into an internal turmoil, within the House and Senate. Together Republicans and Democrats came to the conclusive determination, was that their decades of Washington Status-Quo was about to come to an end.
Republicans scrambled from the onset of the Trump Presidency, whether to align or stand alone from Trump. Struggling with potential alienation from fellow members within the Republican held House and Senate with their individual decisions, many would tread cautiously with their allegiance to Trump. This would create an undercurrent which would ultimately cause a divisional split, within the Republican Party membership.
Democrats on the other hand stood in utter disbelief, Trump was in all actuality the President of The United States. The threats made by Trump during his campaign, in repealing the Affordable Care Act (Obama Care), to his pledge to cut Democratic spending plans, along with his hardline stance on immigration, to close our borders, Trump touting that he was going to drain the swamp, and the last straw to Democrats, was his massive tax cut plans. This ultimately thrust the Democratic Party into a frenzied panic.
As it became apparent the decades old Washington Establishment's status-quo in governing might becoming to an end, and with Trump's popularity growing among the american populous . The majority of Republicans, in both the House and Senate would align and unite with Trump. In their commitment to do so, would ultimately lead to Republicans losing control of The House, in the 2018 midterm elections.
From the beginning, Democrats in fear, and in a state of panic, launched a campaign against and to challenge Trump and Republicans, with any of the policies and legislation proposed. They further launched attacks to discredit him, not only in his official capacity as President, but his prior business dealings.
During Trump's presidency, and with the continued attacks by Democrats, and now with Republicans refuting every single claim made by them against Trump. From calling for investigation to see if Trump colluded with the Russians in the 2016 Presidential election. To nefarious business dealings in foreign countries. With unsuccessful attempt by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi along with fellow Democrats in bringing the 2019 impeachment proceedings, for high-crimes and misdemeanors against Trump. Upon his acquittal by the Senate. Trump would now go on to bash Democrats at every turn. This would continue to destroy bipartisanship in the House.
With the pugnacious discord within the House, Trump's sometimes erratic behavior, and Democrats calling Trump's mental capacity into question. With some staunch Republicans defending his every move, the schism within the house widened.
As divide increased, various groups emerged, groups such as Qanon, Antifa, as others flourished within society, each group whether aligned with Republicans or Democrats blamed each other's political party affiliation, for the upheaval in america.
Now, with the Nation's lawmakers unable to no longer govern together within our system, and with the continued rhetoric by both Republican and Democratic House members, further being fueled by mainstream media, along with Trump's claims of election fraud. The country was a powder keg waiting to explode. And with all of this, what each of witnessed on January 6th at The Nation's Capital would be the end result. As Democrats blame Trump and Republicans for the insurrection on that day, they need to come to an understanding they were just as culpable with the events of that day.
Although the Democrats have always had hidden agendas, after the 2018 midterm elections, which delivered a triumph for Democrats lead by Nancy Pelosi in gaining 41 seats in the House. This would give way to allowing them control over our legislative branch of government, enabling Democrats placing their agendas into law.
The continued discord within House of Representatives, along with first time Democrats being elected in 2018, our country's governing system would forever be altered.
Today, The United States Congress has come under attack from within. The future of our nation seems to moving in a different direction.
After four months since taking the oath of office, President Biden has created one crisis after another, but most concerning is that it seems he's not the one in control.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her Congressional Squad have decided the want to move our nation in the direction of socialism.
The Squad was originally composed of four House members, Rep.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY.), Rep.Rashida Tlaib ( D-Mi.), Rep.Ilhan Omar (D-Mn.), Ayanna Soyini Pressly (D-Mass.), who were first elected to Congress in 2018, and then later joined by Jamaal Bowman (D-NY.), and Cori Anika Bush (D-Miss.), who were elected to Congress in the 2020.
The group is well known for being among the most Progressive and left-wing members of The United States Congress, basically Socialists. The group has been said to represent the demographic diversity of a younger political generation, and the advocacy of progressive policies such as The Green New Deal. They would become staunch opponents against Trump and his policies.
As the covid-19 pandemic winds down, and we are starting to return to some resemblance of normality. With the summer months right around the corner. America today is grappling with crises , we have not seen in decades.
From illegal immigration surging to record levels at our southern border, to crime rates soaring throughout the nation, People are no longer feeling safe when out in major cities. The nation is plagued with a racial division, unlike anything experienced in the past 70 years, bias and hate crimes are soaring to historic levels. With cancel culture to critical race theory, being indoctrinated into our school curriculum.
These crises are a direct result from the beliefs and political platforms of the Congressional Squad, along with some members of our marinette President's Cabinet. In all fairness to Democrats, Republicans such as Rep. Matt Gaetz ( R-Fla.) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene ( R-Ga.) are not making matters any better.
From the squad's calls to defund and abolish our Police Departments nationwide. Abolishment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ( ICE ). With calls to provide every american $ 2,000 per month until the pandemic ends. Medicare for all, a free four year college education to everyone, to massive and for the most part ludicrous spending packages hidden under the guise of infrastructure. The list goes on and on.
As Americans we need to wake up, are nation today is continuing to be split in two. You must understand, we are drastically heading towards a Socialist Governing system.
The current Democratic Socialist Cheerleading Squad, lead by the Captain Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, are using each and everyone of us, in creating discord to advance their political platforms.
For example, how can we listen to someone like Ocasio Cortez, a self proclaimed Democratic Socialist Congresswoman, earning an annual taxpayer salary of $174,000. Who can't even repay her student loans of around $ 20,000 as last reported, while over 50 million hard-working americans repaid their student loans. She reports that she's a self-made entrepreneur, who started a now defunct publishing company, Brook Avenue Press. A company which never published a single book, and owes over $1,800 in back taxes to New York State.
Her calls along with Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar in which they denounce Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and calling for him to be charged with war crimes. While she worked as a Public Relations specialist for Bronx Sunshine Business Incubator project, owned by Cheni Yerushalmi and Joseph Raby, 2 Israeli entrepreneurs, who were used by Ocasio Cortez in her quest for Congress.
In the case of Ilhan Omar, this is a Congresswoman that is challenging are lawmakers with her views in changing our government. This is a woman we need to be concerned with she wants to govern our nation in a combative manor. Maybe this is why she's been married twice and divorced three times, she married one gentleman twice, and divorced him twice. Why should we listen to someone that can't even live in harmony within her own home.
Rashida Tlaib, has similar marital issues, she's been married and divorced. If their husbands don't believe in their views, maybe we need to reevaluate what they are promoting.
We don't want to go on and on, but you need to realize that these new freshman Congressional Representatives hate everything that america stands for. They are no better than Trump for inciting the January 6th insurrection. They continue to spew venom against America, but yet, if you listen to them they have no solution, in correcting what they say, is wrong in america.
What is wrong in our Nation today are Congressional members like the Squad. We need to stop being influenced by them. One Thing you should note, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez hates capitalism, but she is one of only a few Congressional members that sells her Congressional pictures for $ 55.00 to $110.00, if that's not capitalism we don't know what is.
This is only our opinion, we live a Democracy, "You Can Decide If We Are Right Or Wrong."
