September, 2017, Part 6, Political Class Insanity: All Kinds Of Insanity From Schumer, Hillary, and Wasserman-Schultz

It is the beginning of another month which means it is again time to review the latest political class insanity from Washington and around the world. Political class insanity takes many forms including the wasting of taxpayer wealth, criminal fraud within government programs, inane and stupid political quotes and actions, the inability to create and implement effective and efficient government programs, stupid and ill performing economic policies and strategies, and other forms of insanity that continue to evolve and surprise and shock us.

1) Trump caused quite the ruffling of Democratic feathers recently when he said that he would give Congress six months to fix the so-called “Dreamer” problem as it related to illegal immigration. Basically, Obama unilaterally and illegally enacted legislation during his term which said that the Federal government would not deport illegal immigrants from this country if they illegally entered this country as children. The theory being that a child should not be made illegal because of an illegal action by their parents. 

Trump put forth a very logical and fair policy. He would allow Congress six months to fix Obama’s illegal action and return the country to Constitutional and representative government where elected representatives represent the views of voters and the President does not rule by decree. No one would be deported in the six month window that Trump gave Congress to fix the problem legally.

But the Democrats were besides themselves and saw this as another opportunity to make Trump out to be pure evil. The leader of the opposition was Senator Chuck Schumer who seemed to be everywhere in the media decrying Trump’s heartless and evil action.

But according to Amber Athey, writing for the Daily Caller website on September 6, 2017, Mr. Schumer has a little/lot of hypocrisy going on:
  • Back in 2009, Schumer stated publicly that “Illegal immigration is wrong.”
  • He gave a speech back then at an immigration conference at Georgetown University and strongly argued against the concept of illegal immigration: “The American people are fundamentally pro-legal immigration and anti-illegal immigration.We will only pass comprehensive reform when we recognize this fundamental concept.”
  • He went on to say that, “First, illegal immigration is wrong and a primary goal of comprehensive immigration reform must be to dramatically curtail future illegal immigration.”
So when Trump proposes that Congress get its act together and pass comprehensive immigration reform, “as a fundamental concept,” and return Constitutional behavior to the country, Schumer goes off and calls him heartless even though he called for the exact same behavior 8 years ago. Insanity.

2) But Schumer was not the only hypocrite in the Democratic Party ranks. Hillary Clinton, a person who continues to stay around well past her over ripe date, also decried Trump’s actions. But given the beauty of historical video, we can see she was even more of a hypocrite than Schumer when it comes to “Dreamer” kids. 

Amy Moreno of the Truth Feed News website on September 8, 2017 reported on how Hillary once said that “Dreamers” cannot stay in this country. And she was quite specific and blatant about it, saying that the country must send a “clear message - just because your child got across the border, doesn’t mean your child gets to stay.” This position is even more heartless than Trump’s. At least Trump gave a six month window to fix the problem, Hillary is saying basically, “get out.”

Her hypocrisy in her own words can be seen at:


3) Let’s stay with Hillary insanity since, again, she refuses to go away. Phoenix Brooks, writing for the US Chronicle website recently reported that in a speech Hillary gave at the 84th annual Convention of Mayors, she argued that so-called “secret money” had to be removed out of the American electoral system: “I don’t say this as a Democrat, I say this as an American, I think we are really skating on thin ice. It’s getting to the point where we have no idea where the money is coming from. It’s not being disclosed, it could be foreign government money.

While I completely agree with her concept, let’s be honest, Hillary is not the one to be talking about secret money or secret anything for that matter. This is a person who basically ran a crime syndicate while she was Secretary of State. She traded government favors for contributions to the Clinton Foundation which served as a front for her husband to make tens of millions of dollars giving half ass speeches to those organizations and countries that contributed to the Clinton Foundation charity.

This is a person whose foundation failed to report donations from foreign governments, funneling the donations through a Canadian front organization before moving it into this country, basically a form of money laundering.

This is a person who had a secret unsecured server in her house and then refused to turn over secret emails that passed through that illegal secret server.

This is a person who oversaw a charity, non-profit foundation that is currently under investigation for possibly violating laws that ban “foreign governments and corporations from donating to American politicians in an effort to influence them to provide political favors.”

Hillary is the last person in the world who should talk about the need to “restore confidence and trust” in the United States government, as Ms. Brooks points out: “The statement about the need to restore confidence and trust in the United States government may have been the most comical point that Clinton made during her speech. Clinton has become such an untrustworthy individual in American politics, that there has been no end to the memes dedicated to her lack of trustworthiness.” Insanity.

4) We have already covered some of the following insanity but it keeps on growing and getting worse. Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has been entangled in a scandal where she allowed foreign nationals to operate her data systems requirements as a member of Congress. She also recommended her data systems people to other members of Congress and almost two dozen Congressional members took her up on her recommendation. These actions allowed foreign nationals to have access to emails, documents, and computers of many members of Congress.

Things eventually went south for Wasserman-Schultz and her data systems friends. People started leaving the country, suspicious money trails developed, and the head of the operations was arrested at the airport with plans to leave the country for Pakistan. He has since been indicted on four felony counts, mostly related to potentially illegal financial transactions. 

When police went to his house, they found smashed hard discs from computers, raising even more suspicions. When Capitol police refused to turn over a laptop that belonged to Wasserman-Schultz’s office because it was part of a criminal investigation, Wasserman-Schultz came unhinged and actually threatened the chief of the Capitol police.

And now we have the latest twist in the scandal, as reported by the Twitchy website on September 7, 2017:
  • Apparently, Capitol police found that contested computer laptop from Wasserman-Schultz’s office stashed in a phone booth at 3:00 am in early April.
  • Attached to the laptop was a note from that top data systems guy, the one that we cited above who was arrested at the airport about to leave the country.
  • The police found the laptop in a tiny room that was once a phone booth in the Rayburn House Office Building.
  • Next to the laptop was a Pakistani id card, the driver’s license of Wasserman-Schultz’s head data systems guy, his Congressional ID badge, letters to the U.S Attorney General, and a notebook labeled “attorney-client privilege.”
As we stated above, we now know why Wasserman-Schultz was so anxious/desperate to get her hands on the laptop, going so far as to threaten the police chief. Looks like the data system guy was making sure that the truth came out since he was going to leave the country. Should be interesting to see what was actually in that letter, that notebook, and on that computer, more political class insanity and possibly criminal activity.

That will do it for today’s insanity: a desperate, scandal ridden Congresswoman, Hillary’s delusions and hypocrisy, and Schumer’s words come back to bite him. One more dose of insanity to follow.
