Dear Editor:

Democrats defend and protect crime and violence. They loath the Constitution, the rule of law. They stand with the criminals.

The last time Trump called out the National Guard in Washington D.C., Nancy Pelosi called them back. The result, the nationally celebrated Democrats’ Holy Day of January Sixth.

This see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil religion of the Left is ruining the country.

Judges and prosecutors downsize heavy crimes to misdemeanors, releasing violent criminals back onto the streets. Fortifying their own deadly philosophy.

There were 170 murders in D.C. in one year. Not one of those victims were provided assigned security detail as does Senator Charles Schumer of New York as he takes his morning strolls across the Capital unharmed.

The nation’s capitol resides on federal ground. Trump has every right and obligation to actually enact what most Americans are silently screaming for action. Muggings, murder, rape, carjackings are the order of the day.

Down in Portland, government moans and groans for years, while nothing is ever accomplished. The plight of the suffering continues. The once shining city on the hill has now become the disgrace of Maine. Boarded-up buildings, needles all over the ground, the homeless, freezing to death in tents.

After four years of stone cold senility, finally, we have a White House with guts, experience and integrity.

Covid-lockdown cities -- Portland Oregon, Los Angeles, California, Minneapolis, Minnesota and many others -- would still be burning today. Not in Trump’s world.

Get out of the way, Democrats, we all have some living to do.
