November, 2020, Part 1, Political Class Insanity: "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" In California, A New Hampshire Voting Official Votes Twice, and Maxine Walters Still Rants

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) We have often discussed the reality that during the covid pandemic, American politicians put forth draconian restrictions on the activities of Americans while they decided that they did not have to abide by their own rules:
  • The mayor of Chicago forced her favorite hair salon to open to cut her hair even though she forced all other hair salons to stay closed and not serve residents of Chicago.
  • The mayor of Beaumont, Texas forced her favorite hair salon to open to do her nails even though she forced all other nail salons to stay closed and not serve the residents of Beaumont, Texas.
  • The mayor of New York City forced his gym to open up so that he could exercise even though he forced all other gyms to stay closed and deny the ability of regular New Yorkers to exercise in their gyms. 
  • The New York City mayor also went for a walk in a city park even though he prevented all other New Yorkers from doing the same since he had closed the parks.
  • The governor of Michigan shut down all recreational boating activity in the state even though her husband tried to get his boat out for a Memorial Day boat trip.
You get the idea, those in charge of various government entities saw themselves above the very restrictions and bans that they subjected their own constituents to, the ever popular “do as I say, not as I do.”

And that maxim was recently on parade in the state of California:
  • California governor, Gavin Newsom, has been one of the more dictatorial governors when it comes to onerous shutdowns of businesses and other functions.
  • In Sacramento County in California, and other counties, where he lives he has forced the area public schools to stay closed because of the virus, making remote education and family life very difficult, especially for families with working parents.
  • But he recently announced that his kids will be returning to their school for in-person learning at their fancy, high end private school.
  • According to Politico: “Newsom’s children attend a private school in Sacramento County that has a hybrid schedule that alternates remote and in-person education before it will return full-time next month, according to a source.”
  • That same schedule and superior learning experience will NOT be available to kids attending public school in the county where the Newson kids’ school is located.
  • When questioned about the ability of rich parents and politicians to send their kids to in school education and the inability of regular citizens to do the same, he did not say that the fancy school was better prepared to prevent the spread of the virus, he just punted and dodged the question saying that it was up to the local school boards to decide.
  • But Politico, for once, disagreed with a liberal politician: “Pradheep Shanker, a radiologist and public health policy expert, said on Twitter that the “rich and elite will have children that will advance far more than those in public schools…and years from now, we will wonder with great concern about why we have a massive income gap…””
As always, do as I say, not as I do.

2) As we have often said, it would be wonderful if politicians of all parties and all stripes tried to unite the country and help us all reach an adult consensus and resolution to the problems we all face. But that “wonderful” word does not exist because current American politicians don't want to reach consensus, have an adult conversation or respect the opinions and rights of others.

One of the most despicable culprits in this shortcoming has always been Congresswoman Maxine Walters. During the Obama administration she actually said she hoped that Tea Party Americans would just die and go to hell because they dared to have a different opinion than hers when it came to Obama’s outlandish and dangerous annual trillion dollar deficits.

Apparently, Ms. Walters has not grown up with regard to respecting Americans rights to their opinions:
  • Keep in mind that Maxine Walters has somehow turned her Congressional job into multi millions of dollars of personal wealth.
  • Also keep in mind that under Trump, the unemployment rate for black Americans got close to or attained an all time low.
  • And on a recent radio interview Ms. Walters had the nerve to insult fellow black citizens, saying that, “Black voters intending to cast ballots for President Donald Trump are “shameful.””
  • Also: “I don’t even know where any Blacks would be coming from that would be voting for Trump. It just hurts me so bad to see Blacks talking about supporting Trump. I don’t know why they would be doing it. I don’t know why it is on their minds. But if we don’t turn out this vote and turn it our huge, this man could end up winning again. This country would go backward. The divisiveness that this deplorable human being has caused, the confrontation, the dog-whistling to the right-wing, the white supremacists, the KKK, and they are coming alive. They are emboldened because they have a leader.”
Oh, by the way, Trump’s approval rating among black Americans is at a very high level, another fact that Ms. Walters seems to ignore. So sad that politicians have to inject racism into everything in order to divide the country, that there is no respect for the opinions of others, even those of the same race.

3) But of course, she could not stop at insulting the opinions of other black people. She went on another rant of how much of a racist Trump is with no mention of the decades long racism of Joe Biden, a fellow Democrat: 
  • Joe Biden recently made the racist comment that the reason we were able to survive the pandemic shutdown was because of that black woman stocking shelves, “Jeez, the reason I was able to stay sequestered in my home is because some black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf.”
  • Joe Biden made the racist comment that "Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."
  • Joe Biden made the racist statement that if you are African-American and you vote for the other guy “you ain’t black.”
  • Joe Biden made the racist comment that “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”
  • Joe Biden made the racist comment, mimicking an Indian accent, that “you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”
  • Joe Biden made the following incredibly racist comment: "And by the way, what you all know, but most people don’t know, unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”
  • Joe Biden made the statement supporting his opposition to school busing desegregation, boasting that "we [Delawareans] were on the South's side in the Civil War."
  • Joe Biden authored and ramrodded through Clinton’s infamous crime bill which resulted in minorities being unfairly and overly represented in jails and prisons across the United States?
Sounds like Joe Biden has been a pretty racist dude for a long time, a reality that Walters denies. The hypocrisy of politicians is unfathomable.

4) The right to vote in this country should be sacred. Every citizen should be comfortable in the knowledge that their vote has the same weight and importance as every other citizen’s vote. But apparently that principle did not sit well with a New Hampshire government employee involved in the voting process:
  • Law enforcement in New Hampshire recently arrested a man for voting twice in a November, 2016 elections.
  • That in itself should be a disgusting abuse of our freedom to choose our leaders.
  • But it gets worse since the man arrested was, get this, an election inspector.
  • He was charged with a class B felony for violating state election law RSA 659:34.1, voting more than once in an election, once as himself and once as a fake woman, a woman who he applied for and got a ballot for.
Tough to believe voting is a fair and unbiased effort when a voting inspector is actually one of the people committing the voting fraud.

That will do it for today: a corrupt voting inspector, Maxine Walters still spewing hate at those with a different opinion, and the California governor enacts the “do as I say, not as I do” political mantra.
