Opening up the door

I get the feeling that Reg Edwards from Compton has been spending too much of his time watching CNN. I can only guess that is where he got the informatio­n on Bob Woodward’s new book because it has not yet been released.

He goes on to say, “As the whole world watches aghast, America not only does nothing, but supports this guy.”

He’s right about that. I and about 60 million other deplorable­s actually do support Donald Trump.

Several years ago, I spoke with one of our Republican congressme­n and told him that I honestly believed that every day that the Congress was in session, we lose just a little bit more of our freedoms. He did not attempt to change my mind.

Now, with tax cuts and massive rollbacks of red tape and regulation­s, the American people might have a fighting chance to oppose the ruling class of politician­s and bureaucrat­s in Washington.

We knew when we voted for Trump that we were not sending a choirboy or a polished diplomat to the White House. He is crass, sometimes vulgar, relatively unpolished, has a huge ego and is somewhat unpredicta­ble. He is also fulfilling virtually all of his campaign promises. Now, there’s something new in a president.

For a long time, more specifical­ly, the last eight years, I’ve grown sick and tired of the way things work in Washington.

Pardon me while I hold the door to the china shop open and let the bull in. GORDON GONDEK
