In the Matter of Our National Divorce
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) Official portrait. (Public Domain)
Senator Chuck Schumer is a leader in the Democratic Party. I can’t think of a single issue I agree with him on. It’s the same with the House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries. Factor in the new socialist wave of the Democratic party, and not only do I disagree, but I think it’s important that their vision for America never happens.
What should we do to stop them? Whatever it takes.
And that’s the current zeitgeist. The Democrats hate President Trump. Guess how I felt about President Biden. Now we’re in a redistricting war. The Democrats say that the Texas Republicans must be stopped to save “Our Democracy.”*
I thought about that, and then decided that the GOP ought to get as many seats in Congress as possible. If we’re having a National Divorce, I want the keys to White House and a lock on Congress.
*Our Democracy: literally, the nation as defined by the Democrats. A democracy of the Democrats, by the Democrats, and for the Democrats.

There is one thing I agree with Chuck Schumer about, now that I think about it.
Schumer believes his side must go all out to defeat the other side. I agree. Democrats have eschewed common sense and logic to the point that nothing they want to do would make America a better or stronger country.

As Joe Biden would say, you know the thing! Democrats stand for taxing and spending, high deficits and an unlimited National Debt, open borders, multiculturalism, and transgender “women” who are really men competing in women’s sports.
And they hate Israel. Boy, do they hate Israel. But they seem to have a soft spot for criminal aliens and terrorists. They’re obsessed with climate change but their dire predictions never come true. I could go on.

I can’t believe half the country falls for that, but look at election results, and especially watch what happens in big cities. City councils will spend money on diversity, equity, and inclusion before they’ll fund the police. They spend millions on the homeless, but always on housing them and rarely on treating or curing them.
I’m sorry, but they’re nuts! [That’s a strong as I can get without using the F-word, which now is a big part of left-wing rhetoric. The Republicans need a good cuss word to call their own, but the Dems have already claimed most of them.]
If you don’t think we’re headed for a National Divorce, take a look at the news.
Democrats in the Texas Legislature left town to protest gerrymandering and went to the left-wing, heavily-gerrymandered state of Illinois. They’re nuts, remember. Democrats from Chuck Schumer to California Governor Gavin Newsom declared war. Unfortunately for them, most blue states are already gerrymandered so that Democrats get a bigger percentage of congressional districts than voting patterns would deem fair. But it’s war and in war, everything is fair.

Many of our big, blue cities are crime-ridden hellholes and drug dens. When President Trump sent in the National Guard to clean up Washington, D.C., saying the national capital ought to be safe for people to visit, Democrats sued him. No good deed goes unpunished, and certainly not in the middle of a divorce.
For decades, we’ve ignored our immigration laws. But then Joe Biden opened the southern border and millions more flowed in along with human traffickers, South American gangs, and fentanyl. This seemed perfectly normal to Democrats who like the idea that congressional seats are apportioned by the total number of people in a state, and not by total citizens. What’s a few murders or missing kids, or hundreds of drug deaths to a Democrat if they can gain seats in states like California, Texas, and Florida?

This made no sense to Donald Trump, who, in his second administration, decided to actually follow immigration law. Note that Congress could easily – in about two hours – draft a logical guest worker program, but they won’t because we’re in the middle of a National Divorce. And guest workers would not count for apportionment, and they don’t vote.
If Trump likes it, Democrats hate it.
It’s silly, but it’s true. And it defines the two sides. Trump supports Israel, so Democrats hate Israel, which is easy for them because they’ve always hated Israel. Trump did not want to finance the War in Ukraine, therefore Democrats did. Trump thinks it’s for men to play in women’s sports. That very fact made it necessary for Ketanji Brown Jackson, when she was up for nomination to the Supreme Court, to claim that she couldn’t define what a woman is.
Video: Is this as dumb as it gets? Ketanji can’t define a word that she is.
Draw a line down the center of a piece of paper.
On the left side, list what Democrats stand for. On the other side, list just the opposite and you’ll have the GOP point of view. It’s beyond stupid. John F. Kennedy, a Democrat, was elected president in 1960. JFK was a war hero and a Communist fighter. He screwed up the Bay of Pigs, but he stood down Nikita Khrushchev in the Cuban Missile Crisis. To stimulate the economy, he cut taxes. He wanted to put Americans on the moon.
RELATED: Who are the Democratic Socialists of America?
Today’s Democrats want open borders, cancel culture, hundreds of languages in our schools, and government-owned grocery stores. Make America Great Again to them means free stuff, higher deficits, controlling the weather, and public everything. America would rot if that were to happen.

So! If we want out of this marriage, who gets what?
The Democrats own the schools, so they already have custody of our children. That could change under a plan that is the best I can think of. We could, you know, draw a north-south line and make the North progressive and the South conservative. That sounds a lot like the War Between the States, so never mind. Here’s a better plan:
The people of the states ought to decide.
Texas, for example, could vote to be red or blue – it would choose red – and that would mean that schoolrooms will post the Ten Commandments and there will be no argument about it. Over in lala land (California) they can abolish Bibles if they want to. They can banish God and the Reagan Library, and anything that stands for conservatism.
California would be a declared Blue State just as Texas and Florida would be declared Red States. If you come to Texas, you will get right-wing governance. But if you go to California, you will be governed by loons. Voters in all 50 states get to decide, and they can change their collective mind every ten years – you know – during redistricting. <cough>
That leaves the problem of how to run the Federal Government.
Such things as foreign relations, minting our money (if we still are going to do that), and immigration are issues that the states can’t decide. We’d have to have joint custody, and so the political wars would continue, but not nearly as much.
The other solution is all-out war for control of “Our Democracy.” Is a divorce worse than being forced to live with someone you can’t agree with? At some point, we may have to decide, because that’s where we are right now.
What I need to know is what Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries want to do about it. Because whatever they want to do, I will be for the exact opposite.
