FYI, below is a tiny fraction of headline messages you receive daily. These do not include messages from dozens of Conservative institutions like Judicial Watch, Hillsdale College, Prager U., etc. All of these say they want to  see The Constitution upheld to restore the Balance of Powers, and rein in the Federal Government from its runaway growth and fatal spending. All of these have forever pledged their allegiance to America’s founding principles. But talk changes nothing  and nothing will change. There is no great purpose in Congress. Trump is a metaphoric island. The GOP claims to be the enemy of Socialism but that claim is a lie. The GOP is part and parcel of the relentless slide into Socialism. So, call it like it is. America has metastatic cancer. It flourishes untreated. Except for a most distinct minority, elected officials are consumed by wealth and power and incumbency. In the bigger picture, State Governments are irrelevant. Their members are well dressed custodians who studiously chase a better deal. The vast majority of good citizens are apathetic to a fault. Like GOP politicians, they talk a good game but prefer not to take the field. Shakespeare said it best through Macbeth’s overused quote about the poor player (who) struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more . . . a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Likewise,  this sullen summary. Washington has heard it all. It’s just one more voice bellyaching — or perhaps it’s a plaintive cry. Regardless, Washington isn’t interested in prognosis. Once you suffer through endless committee meetings and congressional hearings, you’ve heard it all. You are equally immune to enlightenment and stupidity. And you can’t insult the Beltway.. You remain on the mailing list for only one reason. To wit:

RNC

Donald Trump Jr.
This is worse than I imagined.
I emailed you. Mitch McConnell emailed. Karl Rove emailed. Newt Gingrich emailed. We all tried to warn you, and we were all ignored. I am extremely disappointed, but I am reaching out ONE FINAL time. 5X MATCHING has been extended 24 hours. Please don’t let us down again. Make a 5x-matched donation immediately to defend our Republican Senate Majority!

OK, they want money. Yours. What the GOP is telling you is this: “We need your money to protect our majority in the Senate, to win back the House and guarantee another term for Donald Trump.” Let’s be clear, Matilda. GOP lawmakers need your money to get elected, and once elected, need more money to do the jobs that they were elected to do. Don’t snicker. They’re dead serious, and that should tell you something. The GOP had a majority in Congress during the final two years of Obama’s supreme rule. And it was just that — he pummeled the GOP and turned them into crybabies. Then — horror of horrors — Trump won. Shocked GOP lawmakers ran home to grieve and sob in private. For the first two years, the party kingpins and establishment clenched their teeth and learned how to publicly stomach their new leader. And guess what? He turned them into crybabies. Still, they kicked the can and wouldn’t give him what he needed.  And guess what? They got blown out in the 2018 midterm. Obviously, the sales of Kleenex skyrocketed. Trump didn’t flinch. He put on his Ninja gear and took the US to unprecedented heights in every category you can name. The GOP indwellers took notice and, like good little minions, crept to his side to share a ray or two of the limelight. One NC senator who said he would vote against Trump’s border emergency declaration, flipped overnight to become his ardent supporter. He’s a politician. Read the tea leaves and keep your master key to The Club. Not ones to dismiss an opportunity, the GOP congregation now has one strategy — to grab and hang onto the robust coattails of DT. Pragmatically, Trump is helping the GOP build the war chest. As whining, inept and spineless as the GOP has been,* Donald needs the base to win and get things done. He knows the Party never wanted him and doesn’t want him now — but both stand to gain something. Trump should merit a place on Mt. Rushmore. A GOP Congress might take a Constitutional baby step in the right direction before it folds its tent. Well, likely not.

* Editors note: Some members of Congress are patriots. They are not in the majority.
