June, 2019, Part 2, Political Class Insanity: Congress Wants Even More Pay For Being Useless, Hillary Was Hacked and Stupid Immigration Policies Reign

It is 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.

Let’s get started:

1) Let’s look at some of the biggest problems facing America today:

• Medicare going bankrupt.
• Medicaid going bankrupt.
• Social Security going bankrupt.
• $22 trillion national debt and growing.
• Public schools that under educate our kids.
• Out of control healthcare costs.
• Crumbling infrastructure.
• Millions of American homeless, hungry, and drug addicted.
• Dangerous and unchecked immigration of gang members, drug cartel members, drug runners, and potential terrorists on our southern border.

These are very serious problems affecting every American. And yet the Washington political class, especially those that have been in office for years and decades, have no plan, no will, or no ability to fix any of these problems. These problems get worse and worse as time goes by with Washington politicians more concerned about their perpetual reelection and self enrichment.

Which makes a recent article from Politico all that more disgusting:

• Caitlin Emma, writing for Politico on June 4, 2019, points out that Democrats in the House of Representatives are working on a plan to give themselves a $4,500 pay raise despite their utter failure to address and resolve ANY problem facing American today.
• Their justification goes as follows: “There is strong bipartisan support for these modest inflation adjustments,” said Evan Hollander, a spokesperson for the House Appropriations Committee, noting that the panel does not have to take action to allow the automatic increases and will simply be forgoing language that would block the raises.
• In other words, they will get sneaky about it since they have rigged the system on the pay raises to happen automatically without public debate or voting by Congress.
• Although they current earn $174,000 a year, about three times what the normal America household earns, they still want a 2.6% increase.
• So far only one Washington politician to my knowledge has spoken out and said what most Americans are thinking, Senator Richard Shelby: “I think the American people would think that Congress ought to earn it first.” 

Thank you Senator Shelby, they should have to earn any pay raise first. This is what we proposed in our book, “Love My Country, Loathe My Government,” under Step 37 which reads as follows: “Base pay increases for Congressional members on an annual customer satisfaction rating and repeal the practice of automatically increasing Congressional pay without a public, Congressional vote.”

Most of us who work outside of Congress are probably subjected to such a merit based system already: perform your job well and add value to your organization, get rewarded with bonuses and pay raises. Perform your job poorly and do not get rewarded.

Unfortunately, Washington politicians do not see it this way and end up getting highly paid with outstanding life long benefits for failure. Never have so many accomplished so little for so long and been paid so well.

2) Speaking of accomplishing so little, consider the sad state of our failed immigration system:

• If you are caught illegally entering this country, you are arrested and go before an immigration judge.
• The judge will issue a warrant that requires you to come back to the immigration court at a future date to have your immigration status decided.
• It turns out this process is so stupid since 87% of illegal immigrants that were first detained and then released into the U.S. population until their asylum hearing never show up for those asylum hearings and are now roaming the country illegally.
• This was the finding of a recent study by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Department of Justice organizations.
• Adding insult to injury, during this time, illegal immigrants are often issued work permits that allow them to be employed despite their illegal activities, robbing citizen Americans of job opportunities.
• In addition, by releasing them into society and having an 87% no show rate for their hearings, additional taxpayer funds need to be expended to find them and deport them.

This ridiculous process is another example of Washington being out of step with the country’s wishes since, according to a recent Harvard-Harris poll, about two out of three Americans are against this catch and release program of illegal immigrants. Insanity.

3) Hillary Clinton assured us that her private, unsecured, and illegal email computer server was nothing more than a place for private family emails, recipes, and other harmless material and that it was not subject to secrecy requirements of being hacked. But, as with her many other lies, this one was nothing more than B.S. from a Washington political type:

• According to the Washington Times, Clinton’s email server was not secure and was hacked and government documents were violated.
• Recently released FBI documents prove that her illegal server was hacked at least by one hacker and the information that was obtained ended up on the Dark Web, a nefarious virtual place of shady dealings and illegal activities.
• A Romanian hacker that goes by the name “Guccifer” breached a computer server used by long time Clinton cohort Sidney Blumenthal that allowed Guccifer to hack into Hillary’s illegal computer server.
• This initial hack gathered information from Clinton’s computer and transferred it to a computer located outside of Bucharest, Romania.
• The FBI documents show that multiple subsequent hacks of her illegal computer also occurred beginning on May 22, 2009.
• It appears that Guccifer used an anonymous computer server in Russia to carry his hacks and there was a “high possibility” that Russian officials had access to these computers and any information from the Clinton computer hack that was on that Russian computer.
• At least one file taken from the illegal Clinton computer server ended up on the dark web and has been described as containing “targeting data,” that would usually require the highest level of government security: “If it is determined by the by the FBI that this file ever was overtly classified, it will serve as a potential ‘smoking gun document.'” the notes said,” as described by the FBI documents investigating the hack."
• Moreover: “This file represents a major loss to the Intelligence Community because it appears to be targeting data.”
• Guccifer appears to have hacked a number of different computer networks and 37,000 files were found on a computer traced back to him.

And this lady wanted to be President of the United States. Imagine how much damage she would have done if elected, her careless and lawless handling of information as Secretary of State was bad enough but being President would have taken her carelessness and chutzpah to new, dangerous heights for the country and its citizens.

And yet, she is still not in prison for knowingly violating a very serious Federal law regarding the handling of top secret information. One must wonder what national security damage and what lives may have been lost of our operatives based on her stupidity. Insanity.

That will do it for today’s insanity: Clinton gets hacked and top secret information is stolen and shared with the world, idiotic immigration rules and regulations, and greedy Washington politicians. Typical political class insanity, more to follow.
