Chip Roy is right: Narcissist Donald Trump is making us Republicans look like fools

Actuality MAGA must see

Thanks, Nicole Russell, to your Dec. 21 column, “Trump blasted Texas lawmaker, however he made one large mistake.” (11A) Donald Trump’s assault on a fellow Republican corresponding to Rep. Chip Roy of Austin was not simply ill-timed. As Russell famous, even MAGA followers must get up to the truth that “Trump is a complete narcissist, with skinny pores and skin, strong ego, takes each criticism personally, and nothing is his fault.“

These are phrases I’ll quote when given the prospect. I’ll add that Trump is a traitor to his nation and the oath he took to guard the Structure. We Republicans can do higher, and we should. Trump is making us seem like fools.

Let folks vote for his or her alternative

Democrats are consistently telling the American those that Republicans are destroying our democracy. But 4 Democratic judges in Colorado and a Democratic official in Maine try to do exactly that by taking away the privilege to vote for the candidate hundreds of thousands assist, Donald Trump. I belief that our Supreme Courtroom will see this for what it’s.

Immigration is a matter for Texas

The Star-Telegram Editorial Board makes an attempt to persuade its readers that immigration management is solely a federal perform and means that state leaders ought to take a hands-off method to it. (Dec. 24, 4C, “Texas regulation isn’t the repair we want for unlawful immigration”) For a few years, they did. However the sheer variety of folks flooding into Texas and the do-nothing perspective of Washington have lastly pressured the problem to a head.

For the second 12 months in a row, the variety of unlawful crossings on the U.S.-Mexico border surpassed 2 million. The numbers are so massive that hardened criminals and terrorists can get by way of. Housing, feeding and using so many individuals is unimaginable, resulting in inhumane situations. Texas leaders should step into the hole left by President Joe Biden.

Remedy issues the place they’re

Since 1848, there was a border between Texas and Mexico, and for a lot of that point folks got here and went as they wished. At the moment, there’s a nice outcry a few disaster on our southern border. The issue doesn’t begin on the border and can’t be mounted there. It’s a nice humanitarian downside all through the Americas and the world.

We’re extra related than ever, and we want a plan to assist our Latin American neighbors develop. Invite our neighboring international locations to be a part of the answer and create a humanitarian, environmental, international alternative to develop Latin America right into a safer, more healthy, thriving and sustainable place to stay.

Abbott is doing proper on border

I’m happy with the border regulation signed by Gov. Greg Abbott. When you’re not getting assist from anybody and your state is being flooded by these breaking the regulation when coming into, one thing must be performed. President Joe Biden is wanting the opposite method as a result of he needs future Democratic voters. Biden permits this unfair mess and leaves Texas no different choices. Blame the president, not the governor.

Much less just isn’t extra for rubbish days

Arlington leaders will rue the day they determined to cut back trash assortment from two days every week to at least one. I predict that Arlington householders, particularly senior residents, will grow to be more and more indignant after they face the effort of shifting and storing large, unwieldy containers when the system of twice-weekly assortment with modest dimension containers labored superb.

That is simply one other instance of the town touting diminished companies and calling them an enchancment.
