February, 2020, Part 6, Political Class Insanity: HIllary Thinks She Is Above The Law, Elizabeth Warren Says Ability and Experience Do Not Matter and Joe Biden Is Worried He Is Too Old

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) We have often talked about how politicians are pretty good at putting restrictions on us while ignoring the exact same things they force us to do. They practice the art of “do as I say not what I do.” Hilary Clinton recently put forth another such example of this elitism as outlined in an article on the Big League Politics website by Shane Trejo:
  • A few months ago Clinton went on a verbal rampage attack on Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard.
  • She accused Gabbard of a number of things including being a Russian agent who were trying to disrupt the 2020 elections.
  • Clinton provided no proof of such a relationship so Gabbard went out and filed a lawsuit for defamation.
  • But to sue someone like Gabbard is trying to do with Clinton someone has to serve the lawsuit papers with the person being sued, in this case, Hillary Clinton.
  • Unbelievably, it is alleged that Clinton has told her Secret Service detail to not allow any process servers to get near her and thus, thwarting the lawsuit process.
  • Her lawyer, Brian Dunne, told the New York Post that he is shocked by Clinton’s flagrant disrespect for the law: “I find it rather unbelievable that Hillary Clinton is so intimidated by Tulsi Gabbard that she won’t accept service of process. But I guess here we are.”It might be unbelievable but it's happening, a direct middle finger to the rule of law process in this country.
  • According to the article: “Dunne said that Secret Service officials intervened to stop Clinton from being served at her Chappaqua, New York home on Tuesday. A day later, a Clinton lawyer rebuffed the process server in Washington D.C. at a law firm after the Secret Service instructed the serve to deliver the lawsuit to Clinton there.”
  • Which leads on to question Clinton’s judgment and reasoning: does she actually think that Gabbard is going to go away if she blocks the process servers long enough?
  • Or, more likely, does she think that libel and slander laws do not apply to her?
  • Gabbard was also not happy about Clinton’s elitism: “If Hillary Clinton and her allies can successfully destroy my reputation — even though I’m a war veteran and a sitting member of Congress — then they can do it to anybody. I will not allow this blatant effort to intimidate me and other patriotic Americans into silence go unchallenged.”
At some point you have to assume that a judge will get involved and force Clinton to accept the lawsuit papers but it shows again how special politicians in this country think they are, how they can flaunt the very laws they passed in the first place.

2) If you were going to have to undergo a major operation, wouldn't you want your medical team to be comprised of the best people possible for the jobs they would be doing during your operation? When you buy a car, wouldn’t you want to feel comfortable that the most skilled people put that car together, especially the brakes. You certainly want to make sure you are getting top quality for your money, either medically or automotively.

But when it comes to government functions, that is not how at least one politician thinks:
  • Elizabeth Warren, whose Presidential aspirations are fading fast, recently promised that half of her Cabinet, if elected, would made up of women and so-called “non-binary” people.
  • She promised that she would put a priority on hiring gay individuals for leadership roles in her administration and force this strategy unto all Federal entities.
  • She would also focus on people of color.
So rather than put the best qualified people in positions of power and influence, she would go down some kind of checklist to get a mix of people that fit her fantasy, competence and the ability to do the job be damned. It would be like you going in for brain surgery and the head of the hospital insists that a foot doctor do the operation because the foot doctor is of a specific skin color or sexual orientation.

Look, I am all for giving EVERYONE an equal chance at a job opportunity but to say we are going to fill jobs based on sexual orientation or skin color independent of the finding the best people to do the job is ludicrous. You would not do it for medical needs, you would not do it for automotive needs, we should have to do it for government needs, government needs that are funded with our tax dollars.

3) Would you hire a general contractor to do massive renovations to your home if that contractor told you up front that he was an old guy who might die and thus, not be around to see the project to completion? Would you hire him if you knew his medical history was kind of shaky and he actually was quite old?

I don't think so. So why would anyone vote for a politician who was in the same situation:
  •  Joe Biden was recently asked who his Vice President candidate might be, he said it would be someone who could take over immediately because “I’m an old guy.”
  • While I admire his honesty, not sure I would hire him as a President or a general contractor if he is telling me he is old and might die.
  • Specifically: “It has to be demonstrated that whoever I pick is two things: one, is capable of immediately being president because I’m an old guy.”
  • And yet he still wants to be President even though he is not sure he would live through it: “No, I’m serious. Look, I thank God I’m in great health. I work out. No, I’m serious. You know, I work out every morning. I’m in good shape – knock on wood, as my mother would say. I released all my medical records. But you never know. You never know what’s going on. And I’m sure what would happen is I have – some people looking would say, ‘Is the person Biden picked capable of, God forbid something happened to Biden, that they would be able to take over immediately?’”
  • If he somehow lived long enough and became President at age 78, he would be the oldest President ever.
  • And Dr. David Scheiner, Obama's personal doctor is not sure Biden should be running since his medical history includes high cholesterol, a past aneurysm, and “persistent” atrial fibrillation. 
Again, I am not hiring a general contractor to do massive amounts of work on my home if I know he himself has doubts about how long he will be around and he has a history of medical issues besides just being old. Why Biden is wasting his time and our time given his reality and his doubts is a shame and insane.

So today we learned that Hillary Clinton is using government resources to put herself above the law, Elizabeth Warren wants to staff her Presidential administration with people who may not be the most capable to serve particular functions based skin color and sexual orientation not ability, and even Joe Biden has doubts if Joe Biden will be around long enough to be a full term President. You cannot make this crazy stuff up but somehow American politicians do.
