Republicans in a Suicide Pact – No Lessons Learned from Mid-Terms

The suicide pact consists of 4 parts that show that the Republicans have not learned the lesson made by the white-washing in the midterms.

In part one of his suicide pact, Trump  makes Stephen Miller, his Chief of Staff. Can you imaging a worse Ambassador to Hispanics or young men. He is partly responsible for the Republican midterm losses. Miller pushed Sessions to become more outspoken and combative, especially on the issue of immigration. He helped Sessions kill a bipartisan immigration reform bill in 2013 by writing a handbook to help lawmakers defeat it. He was known as a hard-charging press aide, frequently battling with reporters and others in Washington.  Miller became a part of Trump’s inner circle and was a confidant to the president for the rest of his first term, his years out of office and during his second term. As chief of staff, Miller will be able to have his fingers on everything the White House touches.

The second part of the suicide pact, is Pete Hegseth. In a vote for impeachment on November 10, 2026, it went down to defeat. The bill, which was introduced by James Massey, was the only Republican in the House to support it. The entire Republican party in the House did not support the bill. The Republicans showed that they did not learn not even one lesson by the overwhelming losses in the midterms. With their vote, they outrightly show that they are in support of Donald Trump and his war in Iran. But lets make no question here, Pete Hegseth will be impeached once the new House of Representatives take effect in January 2027. Since taking office on January 25, 2025, he has directed major military operations, including the war in Iran, not authorized by Congress that so far 18 service members have died and 757 have been wounded since the US launched the war against Iran on February 28, strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, and the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. He is responsible for dozens of killings of the boat people in the Gulf.  Hegseth is also responsible for departmental reforms, such as dismantling civilian casualty protection offices, reducing press access, and blocking promotions of senior officers. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired or forced out more than two dozen senior military leaders since taking office, citing a desire to purge what he views as “woke” culture and implement a “warrior ethos.” Hegseth has targeted officers associated with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, describing the military as no longer the “woke department.” He has explicitly stated there is no room for “weirdos,” “wimps,” or those who do not align with his vision of “patriotic cowboys.” Former officers have accused Hegseth of removing leaders for questioning his orders or refusing to strike specific officers from promotion lists. Hegseth has framed these actions as “accountability” and a necessary challenge to the “old guard” to ensure civilian control of the military. Hegseth has ordered a 20% reduction in the number of general and flag officer positions by January 2027, arguing that the military is “rank-heavy” and that reducing layers improves battlefield decision-making. 

The 3rd part of the suicide pact is ICE. The current Republican majority support Trump and his extensive illegal use of ICE.

Minneapolis Minnesota was the epicenter of illegal operations against U.S. citizens.  Illegal deportation of people from the United States.

Renee Nicole Good: A 37-year-old citizen, mother of three and poet, she was killed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross on January 7, 2026, while sitting in her car.

Alex Pretti: A 37-year-old citizen, and intensive care nurse at a veterans affairs hospital, he was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents on January 24, 2026. He was reportedly trying to help a woman who had been pushed to the ground by agents when he was restrained and shot.

Accountability for these killing of U.S. Citizens are coming when the new Congress gains power in January 2027. The ice campaign to eliminate or remove illegal immigrants is a major reason for the mid-term losses in the midterms. Also, the price of gasoline because of the closing of the strait of Hormuz by Iran because Trump started a war he promised in the primary that he would not start, the higher cost of groceries, the losses within Medicaid and the deliberate outright of disobedience to the U.S. Constitution, are just some of the reasons why Republicans overwhelmingly voted against their own party in the elections. Still, the Republicans in the current U.S. Congress have not learned a single lesson.

The 4th part of the suicide pact -The Department of Justice have lost hundreds of good people. It has collapsed. Starting will Bill Barr, now with Attorney General Todd Blanche,  has directed the Department of Justice’s enforcement priorities toward illegal immigration, transnational drug organizations, violent crime, and taxpayer fraud since being sworn in as the 88th Attorney General on August 10, 2026. His tenure has been defined by aggressive investigations into President Donald Trump’s political opponents, including the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey and intensified probes of former CIA Director John Brennan.
