I’m up against one of those deadlines when I don’t know what to write about. Maybe it’s more I don’t care enough about any topic to write about it or perhaps the too-unreal-for-satire situation our country finds itself in has worn me down. I won’t say here. But my goodness, it’s almost too much.

For now, let’s start with the Mueller report. My take is simple: It’s all fruit of the poisonous tree. There never was a crime. It was all made up by Democrats and held the names “collusion,” “conspiracy,” “obstruction” and even “treason.” You might think this or that level of this or that occurred. But after two years of partisan investigation (that was way outside any kind of limits as to where it went and what it did), nothing whatsoever was found.
The reason was simple: It was all made up.

Yet, day in and day out Democrats and the main stream media bang this drum atop the dead horse it sits on all while many other areas of government go to hell in a handbasket. Subpoenas abound, demands for tax returns make headlines and mountains are made out of the holes the Dems dug themselves. And it’s all based on nothing. I blame Republicans just as much for not fighting back throughout this process and only making a stand after the Mueller report was published. So there’s plenty of blame to go around.

Then again, not doing anything seems to be the operational mode of Congress these days. So the Mueller report is the perfect vehicle to attach blame for its ineffectiveness. The few folks in Washington who understand the facts about this whole “collusion” hubbub and are trying for justice against the perpetrators will find no traction from a Congress that looks to hide, blame the president or pass no legislation.

Speaking of Congress not doing its job, let’s talk about the border crisis debacle. I don’t know if you can recall the first time you heard the words “amnesty” or “comprehensive immigration reform,” but I can tell you for me the former was during the Reagan years and the latter was under Bush 43. So problems with immigration and the border are nothing new. And just what entity is responsible for the laws governing all of that? You guessed it: Congress. Our Congress has become so do-nothing on immigration is takes presidents to court when any of them try to enforce the laws Congress has put into place regarding immigration.

What does that tell you? What it tells me is Congress wants nothing to do with an actual, sensible, constitutional immigration policy because it’s done nothing in the past 40 years of my life to improve, enforce or even remotely address the problem. And the one guy who’s brought it up more than anyone in D.C. over all of those years, Donald Trump, has been labeled a racist for even attempting to enforce laws Congress has passed. The result is simple: Chaos on our border, human trafficking growing to unprecedented levels and drug lords running the border.

The border is a mess for one simple reason: Congress wants it that way. Most Americans I know, regardless of political affiliation, want sensible immigration policy. Their elected leaders want nothing to do with it. Yet, half of them despise the one person trying to bring it to light and do something about it, all because they believe a lie made up by their own party.

The evidence on both of those points is abundant. But this is what happens when politicians believe their absolute right to rule outweighs the needs and will of the people. But try having a conversation on any partisan topic with someone who agrees with you 95 percent of the time, but votes differently.

I’ll put it simply. Unless you get more folks in Congress who think like Trump in solving this mess, it will never be solved.

Not all the insanity is limited to Washington, D.C. There’s plenty of it gushing out of our capital of Boulder … er … Denver. The only thing that should have been learned from the last legislative session is there should be fewer and much shorter sessions. It’s mind blowing how nearly half of the population against this power grab was ignored.

Heck, the 50 percent against proportion is even higher considering one of the first pieces of legislation the socialists passed regarding energy rules and regs in our state. I mean, what’s the first thing liberals do when the majority of folks in the state are against something liberals hold in a religious fervor? That’s right. Pass the law no matter the will of the people who voted it down convincingly less than six months before. And once the Democrats could do that, everything else was cake to propose and pass.  When you can’t be stopped legislatively because you have the votes, no sense in wasting the opportunity. You’ll see this soon enough on impeachment in D.C.

What is any of this accomplishing? The politicians’ perfect political partisanship partition: People fighting and not talking. This may have worked for an easy re-election in the past. But it now bodes disaster for our future.
