Do Caucuses Lead to Political Infighting?

It is no secret that American politicians are so divided over enforcing federal laws. Mayors, governors and state and federal elected officials feel empowered to resist the federal government when it comes to abortion, education, public safety and international affairs.  From whom do they get their “authority”?

A number of state officials have come to office after serving in the U.S. Congress where their “worldview” has been shaped, in part, by various congressional caucuses, which I last counted was more than 200, including caucuses which accept or reject congressional members solely by race.  Isn’t that illegal?

Caucuses are created to influence the political agenda of its members.

The Congressional Black Caucus of which Barack Obama, Karen Bass and other notable politicians are alumni, has billed themselves as the “Race Police” to seek out racism in government, and now are focused on resisting the executive actions of the Executive Branch, i.e. President Trump. Not only that, but they have committed their statuary authority, congressional power and ALL THE MONEY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT toward their ends. Not to mention that they are federally funded.

There are so many others, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus; the Congressional Asian-American Caucus; caucuses for other nations, other topics and each going in separate directions. Members who join must abide by the decision of their caucus.

Do you remember the “African shawl” debacle lead by then Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other congressional democrats unknowingly wore the colors of the African slave hunters who sold entire villages to the captains of slave ships back in the day? The African woman who spoke out about this was conveniently silenced.

Today’s 119^th Congress is committed to resisting Trump at every juncture. They defend unlawful, illegal immigration and promote their unauthorized usage of federal programs by migrants who have no legal right to them. The resist Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s actions to remove illegal migrants from our nation, to the point of breaking into federal prison facilities, traveling to foreign lands to demand the leaders of other nations return THEIR CITIZENS back to the U.S.A. where they don’t belong in the first place.

On the subject of abortion, congressional democrats have no problem killing off America’s future citizens while feigning outrage over the children of foreign citizens being sent back to their home countries in order to keep families together.

It was President Richard Nixon who first challenged the first rendition of the CBC by defunding them. They simply renamed themselves the CBC and have grown steadily over the years. We all know what happened to Nixon, right?

I have a solution: defund ALL congressional caucuses to prevent federal funds from funding our nation’s demise, especially those promoting anti-American, anti-government or foreign terrorist groups and individuals. – RTM
