WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

By: Rev. Ruben Diaz

Bronx, New York

Will Republicans take advantage of the great opportunity that has been presented to them or will they do as Lee Zeldin has done?

You should know that the Republican Party has been presented with a great opportunity to obtain the majority in both houses of Congress and take the White House.

However, the question is will they know how to take advantage of this great opportunity before them?

You should know that the Democrats have a slim majority in the U.S. Senate. But now the Democratic Senator Bob Melendez from New Jersey has been indicted, accused of having received gold bars, a Mercedes Benz and about one million dollars in cash in exchange for his influence as a United States Senator.

Another member of the Democratic Senate is apparently showing serious signs of dementia, and deteriorating signs of health. Another Democratic Senator walks the halls of the Senate as if he were heading to a basketball court dressed in shorts, sneakers, and a hoodie, oblivious to any kind of decorum. The New York Senator and Speaker of the Senate, Chuck Schumer, has now removed the Senate Dress code to cuddle his hoodie wearing colleague. Thanks to Shumer, and Pennsylvania Senator Fetterman, all decorum and respect is out the window.

You should also know that in Democratic-controlled cities, crime, and violence reign supreme and laws to stop crime have been eviscerated, which have emboldened the criminal element and miscreants, while weakening law enforcement.

Democrats have cut police budgets in Blue Cities across the nation and some Democrats run cities are even considering eliminating police departments altogether.

The parental authority in our educational system is being challenged in Democrat cities, where policies are geared toward indoctrination while academics are ignored. The indoctrination and woke policies dominating the education of children has gone as far as a parent being arrested and put in prison, and having their child taken away from them if they object to their child’s gender transitioning and being administered puberty blockers.

To make matters worse, the Democratic President Joe Biden has flung open the borders of our Country, allowing an invasion of millions of people from approximately 140 nations throughout the world to enter the United States illegally. Sanctuary cities like New York City are experiencing chaos, riots, increase in violence, increase in homelessness, people sleeping on the streets, tents everywhere and the budget for vital services for Tax Paying citizens, children, youth and the elderly have now been reallocated to provide services to support the influx, of thousands of migrants, with no end sight.

So, I wonder, given this mess created by Democrats, if Republicans will be smart enough to take advantage of this opportunity, especially given that Hispanics and African Americans, are not at all happy with the Democrat Party. Republicans should not do as Lee Zeldin has done. Republican Lee Zeldin has shown no interest in returning to visit our communities since the last election. Mr. Zeldin came very close to winning the governorship. It is not advisable to wait until the last moment, to make your move. I have always said, opportunity is like a ball with (3) strings, when it gets thrown at you, you must be quick and grab it by one of those strings, because otherwise it is a lost opportunity that may never come back.

I am Rev. Ruben Diaz, and this is what you should know.
