Americans are enjoying an all-too-unusual combination of peace and prosperity. The probability that you will be killed or lose a loved one in a foreign war has dropped to nearly zero.
The chance that you or anyone you know will be involuntarily unemployed is lower than it has been in half a century. Moreover, real wages are increasing and inflation is negligible. Life isn’t problem-free, of course, but times are genuinely good.
Much of the credit for this gratifying state of affairs is unquestionably owed to President Trump. Yet the Democrats assure us that he is a clear and present danger to the republic.
He is, they believe, such a menace to our sacred freedoms that the speaker of the House recently issued a press release declaring him too dangerous to leave in office long enough for the voters to decide his political fate.
The next presidential election is only a year away, but Speaker Pelosi avers that allowing the democratic process to play out is a “weak response” to Trump’s crimes:
“That dangerous position only adds to the urgency of our action, because the President is jeopardizing the integrity of the 2020 elections.” Pelosi is, however, oddly vague about the details of this alarming threat.
Madam Speaker says the president has abused his power and assures us that “The facts are uncontested.” This is nonsense, of course.
Indeed, the most notable feature of the ill-conceived Democratic “impeachment inquiry” is its failure to produce any plausible evidence that he has committed an offense that would justify ousting him from office.
Imagine what the president might have accomplished if the Democrats had accepted the will of the voters. And, make no mistake, that’s what “the resistance” is about.
Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats have refused to acquiesce in the peaceful and orderly transfer of power to the president chosen by the electorate. They have nothing to offer but impeachment. That makes them far more dangerous than Donald Trump.
