May, 2020, Part 14, Political Class Insanity: More Biden Gibberish, More Whitmore Idiocy, Bad Fatal Priorities In Chicago, and Jackson Lee Denies Reality

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) Unfortunately, lately we've had to discuss the ongoing gaffe machine known as Joe Biden. We actually feel sorry for Mr.Biden. He is obviously in cognitive decline since he forgets dates, he forgets where he is, his statements are babbling and nonsensical. He needs treatment and rest and not be put under the strain of running for President. It is, in our opinion, a form of elder abuse.

But nevertheless, if he continues to spout gibberish, then we will continue to point out how he is so unqualified to be President:
  • He was recently involved in a live stream discussion with the governor of Pennsylvania.
  • Despite being an educated man and a long term politician he seems to not have a grasp of basic historical facts, specifically: “We declared our independence on December the 7th, by the way, you know, and it’s not just D-Day.”
  • December 7th was the day Pearl Harbor was attacked, D-Day was on June 6, and if he was referring to his home state’s, Delaware, independence day, that was on June 15.
Ignorant of three major dates in our country’s history, all wrong. No way he can serve as President in his current mental state.

2) Gretchen Whitmer is the governor of Michigan. We have recently discussed the many problems she was having governing her state during the pandemic, basically because of the sutpid rules and guidelines she put in place, guidelines and rules we discussed extensively over the past few weeks. From a stay at home perspective, her rules have probably been some of the most restrictive and oppressive in the country and residents were chafing under the rules and thus, demonstrating for more freedom.

This was followed up by the nerve and gall of her husband asking his marina to put his boat in the water for a Memorial Day boat ride. This was a classic case of a politician’s old creed, “do as I say, not as I do.” You see, his wife, the governor, had declared that no one would be able to go boating, even if they stayed away from other people. Boating was forbidden under her stay at home rules. But apparently her husband thought he was special and that her rules did not apply to him or their family.

This, of course, caused a furor and rather than apologize and take the PR hit, the governor decided to play the citizenry for fools. She claimed that the reason her husband made the call to get their boat in the water, explicitly saying that he was the husband of the governor to get preferential treatment, was to just joke around. He just wanted to have some fun at the marina’s expense, he really did not want to go for a boat ride, it was all just a funny joke.

Really governor, you think we are that stupid to accept that excuse? Assuming that we are that stupid might be worse than assuming you and your family are special and the rules you laid down do not apply to you and your family. Come on, if you are going to lie, at least entertain us with a good lie, not one in which your husband was playing a joke. Really.

3) Lori Lightfoot is the mayor of Chicago and recently she has been doing a pretty bad job. She ordered strict stay at home virus orders for all city residents which shut down just about every business. But she decided she needed her hair done so she forced a hair salon to open its doors only for her so she could look pretty while the rest of the city got shaggier and shaggier. She has been obsessively fixated with shutting down churches and synagogues, denying residents their First Amendment rights, claiming that church gatherings spread the coronavirus even though those churches that defied her put safe social distancing rules in place.

And apparently she has not been able to fix what has ailed the city of Chicago for years, deadly violence that usually ends up killing hundreds of citizens a year and wounding and maiming thousands. The recent Memorial Day violence totals prove how ineffective she has been in this area also:
  • According to Paige Frye, writing for the Chicago Tribune on May 25, by Monday morning of Memorial Day weekend, 9 Chicago residents had been shot and killed, making it the deadliest Memorial Day weekend in the city since 2015, i.e. things are getting worse under Lightfoot, not better.
  • And this feat of deaths was accomplished despite the mayor’s stay at home edicts.
  • Nine had been shot and killed, 39 other residents had been shot, and a number of others suffered stabbing wounds.
  • The dead included a 16 year old boy walking down the street.
  • Last year 43 residents were shot and seven died from their wounds.
  • The nine dead this year are the most fatalities since 12 during the Memorial Day weekend in 2015.
One would have hoped that rather than having vital police resources going around peeking into churches to see if anyone dared to practice their religion under safe distancing guidelines, Lightfoot would have deployed those police resources to trouble spots around the city to stop the anticipated carnage. 

But as often with American politicians, hope is in short supply. Rather than stop the violence on the streets she is obsessed with stopping people from attending church services. Bad, bad set of priorities.

4) Sheila Jackson Lee is a Congresswoman from Texas. She has always ranked in the top five politicians covered by this blog for saying stupid stuff:
  • She claimed the Constitution is 400 years old, it is not.
  • She claimed that two Vietnams still existed, 40 years after South Vietnam disappeared from the face of the Earth.
  • In Congressional testimony she wanted to know if a Mars surface vehicle would be going anywhere near where Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.
  • She claimed that her Texas Congressional district was 50 feet below sea level, it is not.
So it should not be a surprise that she made a fool of herself again when she tried to defend the extreme racist comment that Joe Biden recently made. In an interview, Biden took a nasty swipe at the intelligence of all African-Americans when he stated: “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” In other words, you are forgoing your African-American history and heritage and just plain stupid unless you blindly vote for me over Trump. These are his exact words that were caught on the record of that interview he gave.

Jackson Lee somehow, either because she thinks we are too stupid to know that Biden made an extreme racist comment or she is too dense to understand he insulted her and her constituents, claimed that: “And what I would say to you is that that was not what the vice president said in terms of those words.” 

Say what?! Those are his exact words, it is not something different he said, he said those exact words. You just shake your head when politicians try to tell you that war is peace, up is down, my husband was just making a boating joke, etc., either Orwellian tricks or plain stupidity.

That will do it for the political class insanity today and this month. Usually during a month we are able to cut away from the insanity and cover other topics. Unfortunately, every blog post this month had to do with the idiocy, the greed, the stupidity, and ignorance of those in the American political class and their cronies in the media. That is how bad it has become. With another month right around the corner, we will still have to cover the insanity of the American political class, the sludge just keeps oncoming.
