April, 2020, Part 1, Political Class Insanity: Insider Trading In The Senate, Joe Biden's Cognitive Confusion, and CNN's Integrity Disintegration

It is the beginning of another month which means it is time again to review the latest political class insanity from the American political class. Each month it takes us multiple posts to cover the wasteful spending, incompetent government organizations and employees, government programs that usually make a problem worse than resolving it, inane and idiotic politician comments, etc.

To review past posts on this insanity and idiocy, just click on the first few posts in each month listed to the right of this page. After reviewing just a handful of these insanity posts we think you will agree that we are currently being served by the worst set of American politicians ever to hold office in our entire history.

1) Politicians in this country have always acted like they are special, that the rules they make for us do not apply to them. Senator Kelly Loeffler proved that point again recently in light of the corona virus crisis:
  • She sold at least $1.2 million in stocks after a private, Senator only meeting on the corona virus situation.
  • She reported the first sale of stock that she jointly owned with her husband on January 24 which just happened to be the same day of that private meeting.
  • That meeting included a briefing from Trump administration people including Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
  • The first stock she sold, Resideo Technologies, has lost more than half of its market value over the past few months.
  • She made 27 other sales of stocks over the next several weeks while buying stock in Citrix, a teleworking software company, a company that one would expect to do well with a lot of workers now doing their jobs from their homes.
  • Loeffler denied she did anything wrong or unsavory like insider trading: "This is a ridiculous and baseless attack. I do not make investment decisions for my portfolio. Investment decisions are made by multiple third-party advisors without my or my husband's knowledge or involvement."
  • Other Senators, namely Richard and Burr and Dianne Feinstein, also dumped stock after secret government briefings on the virus.
Martha Stweart does insider trading, goes to jail. You and I do insider trading, we go to jail. Senators trade on insider government information, they get richer. Do as I say not as I do.

2) Over the past few months we have many times pointed out the stupid, inane, and sad things that Joe Biden has said on the campaign trail. He wants to be President of the United States and yet he forgets facts, he makes up facts, he forgets where he is, he makes up false histories, etc. 

It is very sad on two counts: first, he certainly appears to be having some serious cognitive problems and to prop him up and parade him around with these problems getting worse and worse is a form of elder abuse. Second, there is no way, given his recent incoherent and often antagonistic behavior, that he is fit or capable of being President.

Every day more examples pop up, as recently witnessed in the following video clip of him speaking about the corona virus:


Rather than calling the current health crisis the corona virus, he calls it the corona virus. If this was his only gaffe, then you could chalk it up to a slip of the tongue. But these foul ups occur on a daily basis and often more than once a day so it is obvious that he is out of touch and needs to be treated for whatever ails him. Failing to do so, like I said, is a form of elder abuse.

3) We have often spoken about how important a free, informed, and unbiased press is to keep the government and politicians in check and to protect the Constitution and our freedoms. Unfortunately, journalism in this country, especially the bigger newspapers and network news, have lost all sense of being unbiased and now basically completely lacks any kind of integrity of reporting or reporting standards of truth.

Consider the latest success by Project Veritas and their unmasking of the biased reporting that CNN has been pushing for years:
  • Project Veritas has been very good over the past few years of secretly videotaping important people in politics and the media who have let their guard down and have revealed their true feelings when it comes to the biasness of the news industry in this country today.
  • They recently and successfully videotaped some folks discussing how CNN has perverted the news collection and reporting business in this country.
  • These CNN secret tapings were done by Cary Poarch, a former CNN employee.
  • He secretly taped high level CNN managers talking about how they introduce bias into their news reporting since they do not like Trump, that they make up news stories, and admitting that they abuse their power worse than Democrats that accuse Trump of abusing his power.
A sample of these discussions include a talk with Patrick Davis, manager of field OPS, at CNN:

Patrick Davis: "What's crazy to me is Obama was caught on camera…

Poarch: "With the Russian thing…"

Davis: "Yes! 'Wait 'til I get into office and I have more room to negotiate…

Poarch: "Flexibility."

Davis: "'I have more flexibility' and I'm going, holy sh*t. I'm going with…"

Poarch: "And I voted for the man."

Davis: But then Trump's getting hammered for twisting an arm, you know what I mean? It's, I don't know man; he (Trump) has survived everything up to this point…"

Poarch: "It's crazy right?"

Davis: "Bill Clinton survived getting his d**k sucked under a table, you know what I'm saying? My guess is the House is crazy enough to go through with it and they're starting it. Everyone's trying to do this from a 'holier than thou perspective' like, 'Oh, he abused his power.' Those a**holes, those 500 a**holes up there, abuse their freaking power every day. They do this sh*t every fricking day.

Poarch: "For thirty years."

Davis: "What he was doing was nothing compared to what these a**holes are doing on a daily basis, right?"

Other confessions of skewing the news can be seen at the following website:


Very scary that a bastion of freedom, the free, unbiased press, basically does not exist anymore in this country.

So, we have the disintegration of the free press, the disintegration of Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities, and the long time disintegration of integrity in Congress when it comes to insider trading. God help us all and the country.
