James Preston Allen should be proud that so many Republicans
read his newspaper.
If he’s angry, it means that all is well with the world.
The more that he complains about Trump, it means President
Trump is doing a great job.
In his latest editorial, Allen weakly tied the “long chain
of abuses” in the Declaration of Independence to President Trump.
Trump was duly elected, not a monarch installed by divine
right and line of succession. In contrast, the Democrats installed Kamala
Harris as the 2024 nominee, even though Joe Biden had won the primary (albeit
losing primary contests and suffering “No preference” losses in liberal
bastions like Minnesota).
Allen blames the President for Congress’ not voting on the
War Powers Act. That’s the decision of Congress, not Trump.
The notion that Trump has refused to pass other laws for the
“accommodation of large districts of the people” is nonsense. If the editor is
complaining about the partisan redistricting, the blame falls on Democrats, who
contorted the 1964 Civil Rights Act to force Democratic gerrymanders in Republican
states. Turnabout is fair play.
Allen twists the Declaration’s section on dissolving
representative houses, somehow connecting that to the DOGE efforts. Americans are
grateful for the massive cuts to the federal bureaucracy. Why are so many
people working for the government in the first place?
And of course, he calls President Trump’s enforcement of our
nation’s immigration laws racist. Has he seen what black South Africans are
doing to migrants in their country?
