Dear Editor,

What’s Next?

As blue states and cities Trump-proof their twisted, liberal, woke and failing governments and economies, the people who elected Trump and a Republican House and Senate must plan to maintain control of the White House and Congress.  Republicans must immediately identify and prepare the best challengers for Congressional seats held by the Democrats who consistently supported their party’s deranged, destructive, and divisive policies, legislation, and abuses of power.

This requires cataloging and leveraging the weaknesses of each Democrat incumbent.  The Republican Party must immediately start campaigns to introduce their candidates to the public and expose each Democrat incumbent’s sponsored legislation, voting records, and statements that supported the Biden administration.  Democrats who supported the following Biden policies and actions must be exposed and defeated in the 2026 and 2028 elections:

  • lawfare through weaponized federal departments and agencies,
  • government and Big Tech censorship, 
  • weak and inconsistent foreign policies, 
  • DEI and EV mandates, 
  • Second Amendment constraints, 
  • uncontrolled and wasteful government spending that fueled inflation 
  • open borders and illegal immigration that threaten safety and national security,
  • and granting rights, privileges, and benefits to illegal aliens and criminals at the expense of law-abiding citizens.

No House Democrat from Georgia voted for the Laken Riley Act, H.R. 29.  Neither Georgia senator has directly stated that they will vote for the Senate version of the bill, S. 5.  Although Senators Warnock and Ossoff have sponsored some beneficial, needed legislation, they did nothing to oppose their party’s overall agenda, and they supported Joe Biden’s reckless and unconstitutional policies and actions.  They and the Democratic Party House members from Georgia must go.

The Jan. 11 Washington Examiner posted an editorial entitled “Good riddance, Joe Biden.”  (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/in_focus/3279994/good-riddance-joe-biden-worst-president/)  It accurately describes Joe Biden’s life, values, personality and politics.  

It also speaks to the malevolence of the Democratic Party and its goal of destroying the United States to rebuild it as a socialist, totalitarian state under its sole control.  California, with its one-party political system and bankrupt, dysfunctional government, is their vision of a remade USA.

When Biden was benched, party elites selected Harris and Walz, and Donald Trump buried them in a landslide election, our nation averted an economic, political, and social catastrophe.  Now, the Democratic Party’s singular goal is to obstruct Trump’s administration and its execution of his campaign promises, so they can accuse him and the Republicans of failure before the 2026 and 2028 elections.  The Democratic Party leaders, elected officials, and elites continue to ignore the safety and prosperity of our nation and its citizens.

The Democrats lost the White House and Congress because the majority of voters supported Trump’s agenda, a fact that is still lost on most Democrats.  As Harris said in her concession speech, liberal leftist Democrats must continue to “fight,” ostensibly to impose the minority’s will on the majority.  Biden’s fantasy farewell speech and the media’s praise of it indicate the fight is still on.  Politically speaking, now that Trump buried the Democrats, they must remain buried, and voters must keep shoveling dirt on their communal grave.
