What do we have to look forward to when the new Democrat majority controlled House of Representatives convenes in January, 2019? Is anything positive being planned by the Democrats or will it be Trump bashing from day one to the 2020 election?

Ah, for the good ole days of Democrat Tip O'Neill and Republican Newt Gingrich, who worked for bi-partisan agreements that had positive effects for our country, even though the president was of the opposing party. Speaker O'Neill worked with President Reagan on the “Reagan tax cuts”, and Speaker Newt Gingrich worked with President Clinton on getting “welfare reform”. Will this same bi-partisan cooperation come about during this new Congress? From the looks of things and the rhetoric of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren and others in the Democrat caucus, who some might call the”Disciples of Chaos”, they won't give an inch whereby President Trump might gain some positive advantage, even for doing right to our country. Their anger and antipathy is so blatant, that they threaten to shut down the government rather than give President Trump a winning issue (it could also be a winning issue for them if they weren't so blinded by their liberal ideology and their hatred for Trump).

Take the issue of the “border wall”. A few short years ago, many Democrats, including Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, and Diane Feinstein, were all in favor of building a wall to cut down on illegal immigration, human trafficking,and drug smuggling, but since President Trump was elected to the White House, they have all done a 180 degree turn and are now against it. I'd bet that if Trump came out against the wall, the Democrats would all be in favor of building it out of spite and visceral hatred of the president.

The new majority in the House (the Democrats) are saying that they will be going after President Trump, not only on his decisions as president, but on his personal affairs. Some might say, “what is good for the goose is good for the gander” as it's payback time, and their
goal is to wound President Trump so badly that he will either not run for re-election or that he will be so damaged that he will be defeated by the voters in 2020. With 90% of the media backing up the vengeful Democrats, it will be an uphill battle for Trump to prevail. But, never underestimate President Trump, as he usually wins when everyone else has counted him out.

If the Democrats follow-up on their threats against Trump, there will be chaos in our country and around the world as Trump's enemies will smell blood in the water if the president is “wounded” in any way, thereby making our country less of a threat, both economically and
militarily.

We must not let the “”Disciples of Chaos” get the upper hand in setting our policy goals. We can't have all the good that has happened these past two years be upended by these trolls masquerading as sensible, compassionate politicians. As Benjamin Franklin replied to the woman who asked him, as the debate over the Constitution was about to be voted on, “Well, Doctor (Franklin), what have we got, a republic or a monarchy”? Franklin replied, “A republic, if you can keep it”. Let's hope we can keep what Franklin offered us.

This will come as no surprise to anyone, but liberals (a/k/a Democrats) use the public schools and colleges and universities to grind their ideological axes into the “heads full of mush” that are in their classrooms, who are there, presumably, to get an education. Nobody should say that the aforementioned schools don't teach values - it's just that the values they teach are a disdain for America, a dislike for free enterprise capitalism, and an embrace of the Hollywood approach to morality. In other words, they are indoctrinating the students they teach with a liberal left-wing philosophy.

If you watch the news (with the exception of CNN and MSNBC, which is “fake news”) you can probably deduce that our young people (a/k/a Millennial's) voted in large numbers for Democrat candidates this past election cycle. What was the magnet that the Democrats used to get these young people to vote for Democrat candidates that, in any cases, espoused socialist ideas? Some have pointed out that the Democrat “free stuff” politicians appealed to the financially over burdened students by promising that they would forgive their student loans and to institute free college tuition. These young people fell for this propaganda “hook, line, and sinker”, and voted accordingly. Besides, most of the colleges had voter registration tables set up on campuses across the nation, which were stacked with mostly Democrat student volunteers, who reminded students that it was their obligation and duty to vote for the liberal candidates who were offering the “free stuff” that these students wanted financial relief from.

We all know, or should know that 90% of most faculties are staffed by liberals, many of whom dislike or despise our way of life and our capitalist economic system. Ask any student, who exhibits common sense, and he or she will back up that statistic. It's funny that these same liberal faculties champion diversity of ethnic, gender, and sexual orientation, but when it comes to diversity of thought they are eerily silent.

Sir Winston Churchill summed up this thinking when he wrote the following: “If you're not a liberal by the age of 20, you have no heart, but if you're not a conservative by the age of 40, you have no brain”. Very prescient words by Sir Winston, don't you think?.

Looking for “something for nothing” is a very strong emotional appeal to the average naive citizen, especially to those who have a minimal amount of basic economic understanding and knowledge. You can thank our woefully under performing schools and universities who have not explained our free enterprise capitalist system to their students. A system that was handed down to us by our Founding Fathers over 230 years ago. Our forefathers, also in their great wisdom, offered us the pursuit of happiness not the guarantee of happiness as some of our Democrat Socialists seem to want to promise us.

Once our students realize that we don't want to become anther Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and most African countries who espouse socialism, we hope that they will come to the realization that the United States is “that shining city on the hill” that offers a better life to everyone who wants to take advantage of our capitalist system which has made us the preeminent country in the world, both economically and militarily, and with an extra dose of compassion.

Well, well, how true that statement is especially when it refers to our
treatment of illegal aliens. When we give people who have “invaded”
our country (even non-militarily) illegally, and we give them food,
shelter, clothing, education, health care, sanctuary cities, and a drivers
license, you know right away that our benevolence will attract others
to do the same, it's almost like a magnet. In other words, when you
reward something the more you get of it.

Common sense tells us that if we weren't so generous to those people
we call “illegal aliens” (according to liberals – they're undocumented
workers), the flow of these illegals into our country would drop to a
trickle as there would be no incentive for them to not get the
“goodies” that we now give them.

Why is that so difficult for liberals to understand? Is there a political
motive that influences their thought processes? Could it be that they
expect these “future citizens” to be reliable Democrat voters? Sounds
about right, doesn't it? But, when you ask a liberal, if someone, he/she
doesn't know, walks through his/her front door uninvited and demands
that you take care of them, would you let them stay or would you
summon the police to have them removed? The overwhelming
answer of these liberals would be “NO” they can't stay, so why are
they against a tightening up the border (with a fence that President
Trump wants put in place) in order to prevent letting people into our
country that have not been invited? You could deduce that liberals
have a “double-standard” and their resistance to tightening up the border is a valid case in point.

This editorials headline also applies to other situations affecting our
country, like lowering the standards in our schools (the “dumbing”
down of the curriculum) and not sufficiently punishing disruptive
students, thereby preventing learning from taking place for the
students who want to learn. Also, when people in government, in high
elective or appointed offices, violate the rules of conduct and they get
off without or little punishment (a slap on the wrist), you'll get more
illegal behavior ( a play on our headline might go like this, “When you
reward bad behavior, you get more of it”). The obvious case in point
is the rules that Hillary Clinton violated while in office and still no
punishment has been meted out because of a two-tier justice system,
one for the well connected and one for the rest of us poor slobs.
​
Now, we are faced with another problem that will affect society, and
that is the major push by some influential people to legalize drugs.
We've started with the legalization of marijuana in a few of the states
of the union, with more to come on board in the near future. Again,
you see that when you reward something, you get more of it. The
adverse effects of the legalization of marijuana already has had a
negative effect in the State of Colorado where traffic accidents and
deaths have spiked up dramatically since legalization. Although
marijuana is not a hard drug like cocaine and heroin, it is still a mind
altering drug that does affect the person using it, and legalizing it has
more people using it, not for medicinal use, but for recreational use.
So, in conclusion, when you reward something, you get more of it, can
be considered a sane conclusion in those areas mentioned above. It's
just common sense. So, be wary of those who want to do away
with our tried and true rules of conduct that have been handed down
through the ages, it might just be a changes for the worst, not the
better.
Conservative commentary by Chuck Lehmann

When our founding fathers drew up the Constitution, it was like a beautiful portrait painting to be cherished.

What is happening are a new breed of Democrats, vandalizing our masterpiece in their pervasive corruption, like drawing a mustache and thick rimmed eye glasses on it, to change a vehicle for the 
people to govern themselves, into a document for power of self interest, to use in changing the aura that has been serving our country so well for over 240 years. 

Ugly, angry mobs are bent on destroying the Norman Rockwellimage of America that our ancestors came here and strove to be a part of and is now in the cross hairs of hate.Mobs just don't form without some organization by somebody that has a high stakes game in the works, like MoveOn.org. They don't do the dirty work themselves, but enlist mostly individuals of low  mentality to do it for them, with a promise of an effortless utopian life.

They are told to harass or harm any one standing in their way  because they are evil. They are told it is okay to break the law in order to achieve this.

Working our way through trials and tribulations in our history,  guided by the Constitution, has been instrumental in our survival and it must not be marred in anarchy.
