Dear Editor:
On Dec. 7, 1942, "the Day of Infamy," Imperial Japan, in alliance with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, attacked Pearl Harbor. This event catapulted the U.S. into WWII. This external attack on our country was immense in terms of our nation's history. On Wednesday, Jan. 13 we were attacked by a more-evil force - an internal attack from within our own government by 232 members of Congress who trashed the framework of our nation - the Constitution. This second impeachment was fueled by big business and big tech, the anarchist and socialist left, Communist China, the Republican establishment, MSM, the global government elitists, the environmental wackos and the criminals, past and present, in hiding - the same as was the first.
This impeachment is even more cataclysmic than Pearl Harbor. In accomplishing this second impeachment, the House of Representatives along with their backers went well above a political witch-hunt as was the first impeachment - the culmination of four-plus years of continuous attempts to discredit and remove our president. This time, it was pre-planned with the sole purpose of dividing Americans, discrediting President Trump and preventing him from returning for re-election - totally without justification and under a false narrative.
The charge? Insurrection by inciting a riot in a speech. The riot actually started prior to the speech's ending. The first impeachment went through the prescribed process and was dismissed by the Senate. This time, the effort was rushed - no hearings, no witnesses, no evidence, no defense and no due process. What a sham. We Americans can see through their motives. This impeachment was an assault by Congress on the presidency itself - a seditious conspiracy against President Trump - not an insurrection against Congress. While the president calls for peace, I certainly will not be silent.
