British philosopher Lord Acton said, “Power corrupts…and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” He knew human nature all too well.

He might have added, “Longterm power corrupts long-term power holders.”

The worst mistake our Founding Fathers made: to allow endless political careers for politicians who desire personal wealth and prestige over service to the people. South Carolina’s Strom Thurmond served 49 years as a U.S. Senator before dying in office at age 100. U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA), wheel-chaired, nearly blind and suffering from dementia died at age 90, while still in office. Joe Biden, suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease, aged 82, wanted to run for another four years as president of the United States, while in fact, his staff illegally “ran” our country because Biden was not in charge of his mental faculties.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, having served for 35 years, wants to serve another two years as she babbles past 84 years of age. At the same time, she fed her husband stock trades as “insider trading” to defense contracts while she voted to keep the Afghanistan-Iraq wars continuing for 20 years. Her corruption sinks as deep as the Mariana Trench at 36,000 feet in depth.

General George S. Patton said, “Politicians are the lowest form of life on Earth. Democrats are the lowest form of politicians.”

When you examine the extraordinary corruption in America’s U.S. Congress—-it’s most disturbing that the majority of 535 Congressional Critters solve very little while letting enormous issues boil out of control. We all pay for those consequences. We paid billions for the Vietnam War. We lost 58,479 young men. That war brought Drug Addictions to America into the millions of kids. It destroyed any sense of “right and wrong” as our politicians and the Military Industrial Complex kept pumping that war up with lies, big lies and more lies for 10 years. All of it for nothing but big bucks in Congressional Pockets and the M.I.C. corporate heads.

Same thing for the 20 year Afghanistan-Iraq War: we lost $6 trillion in that engineered war. We should have fled that war after killing bin Laden in 2011. Instead, once again, the M.I.C. and Congress kept us in it for another 10 years. Over 7,500 kids paid with their lives and over 131,000 soldier suicides since 2001.

All the while, we’re eyeball-deep in a $36 trillion national debt. Our Congress allowed Biden to inject 12 million illegal aliens our midst, at INCREDIBLE COSTS of billions to our citizens. We’ve got over 800,000 homeless Americans sleeping on our streets or slum camps around the country. We’ve got our own governors, senators and mayors protecting, feeding and housing refugees who have invaded our country. Those elected officials violate our laws. What happened to oath of office, serving American citizens, and abiding by our laws?

Then, when you look at what D.O.G.E. has turned up as to the trillions of dollars stolen from American taxpayers over the past 50 years—you gotta’ starting wondering, “What the hell is going on with our corrupt Congressional Critters?”

For certain, my two U.S. Senators, Hickenlooper and Bennet, are both corrupt. They lie, they cheat, they do nothing to serve any of us in my home state of Colorado. My Governor Polis is also corrupt, a liar, and he violates his oath of office to force us into paying for over 50,000 illegal aliens that he invited into Colorado.

When you look at over 25 million of them hanging out in America, it’s all because of Congress and all those long-term corrupt politicians that could give a damn about, we, the American citizens—who are paying for this nightmare in our dead children killed by illegals, drugs everywhere killing over 270,000 kids in the past five years, crime in all 50 states, rapes, shoplifting, failing schools, and resources being sucked up faster than we can begin to understand. Not to mention all the foreign invaders marching around with their countries’ flags instead of ours. You would think that we’ve been conquered by Mexico because that’s the dominant flag being flown from California to New York.

“Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. Ah, but I repeat myself.” ― Mark Twain

What can we do and what must we do to change the corruption of SO MANY rats in The Swamp of Washington DC? The fact remains: if we had at least 51 percent of them honoring their oath of office, we wouldn’t be in our current mess.

“When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.” – P. J. O’Rourke

The solution is: TERM LIMITS for all senators and House members. We give them a max of two four-year terms. If they are doing a great job, we give them a second four year term. If not, we dump them after their first four year term. That’s it!

We need fresh American minds in Congress in these critical days in the first quarter of the 21st century. There’s no way an old man like Kentucky’s U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, at 83, should be in charge of our lives with his “forever” career in Washington DC. Same with Charles Schumer of New York. Both of them have held Senate Majority leader chairs, but they solved nothing while in office. And we sure should not tolerate House Member, Somalian illegal immigrant, Ilhan Omar (D-MN) who said this week, “America is the worst country in the world.” We should not tolerate House Member Rashida Talaib (D-MI) from Detroit, siding with Hamas and wrapping herself in a Palestinian flag when Detroit’s Muslim population voted her into office. Both should be deported and/or tossed out of Congress.

So, the solution is: TERM LIMITS! How do we get there because it’s been brought up numerous times, but the bill gets tabled and thrown into the “oblivion” circular file?

We will receive term limits by voting into office elected officials who campaigned for such passage. We can also write our senators and House members in such large numbers that we make it a national calling. It’s got to come from the ground level American citizens in order to become a popular mandate. If you want term limits, you’ve got to speak up, write up, and stand up.
