September, 2021, Part 7, Political Class Insanity: More Political "Do As I say, Not As I Do" Hypocrisy, More Congressional Insider Trading Shenanigans, and The Sinking Biden Presidency Ship

Before we get to today’s insanity, please consider the following proposition: as many of you know, the withdrawal from Afghanistan has been a historic and fatal endeavor. But the failure did not start just in the past few weeks, it has been a twenty year disaster. It has cost American taxpayers about a trillion dollars, has left thousands of our brave armed forces folks dead, maimed, or wounded and has resulted in an unknown but substantial number of civilian deaths.

Afghanistan has been a collective failure of multiple Presidential administrations and multiple sessions of Congress. Thus, please consider signing the petition below that calls for the immediate resignation of every member of Congress that has at least twenty years of service and the resignation of President Biden, Vice President Harris, and critical, and failed, members of the Biden Administration. They do not deserve to serve any longer given their miserable twenty year track record of death, destruction and waste in Afghanistan.

Also, if you are passionate about this topic and effort, feel free to pass the link along to others who might also feel the same way, i.e. incompetence should not be rewarded:


Biden and others need to resign for dereliction of duty, incompetence and total lack of empathy. Nothing short of resignation is acceptable. Thank you.

*****************************

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) Far too many times during the pandemic we have seen politicians demand that regular citizens obey dictatorial edicts by the politicians while at the same time they ignored the very restrictions on freedom and behaviors they imposed on the rest of us:
  • Chicago mayor, Lori Lightfoot, shut down all non-essential businesses during the height of the pandemic including hairdressers, but forced her hairdresser to open to get her hair styled while denying that right to others.
  • The mayor of Beaumont, Texas did the same thing but forced her nail salon to open to get her nails done while denying that pleasure to everyone else in Beaumont.
  • California governor, Gavin Newsom, forced citizens to wear face masks whenever they were out and about but attended a fancy dinner at a fancy indoor restaurant where he and no one else in his dinner party were wearing masks.
You get the idea, “do as I say, not as I do,” the motto of the American political class. And that tradition of hypocrisy and elitism continues today with Biden’s latest idiocy relative to the pandemic:
  • Biden has declared that just about every American needs to get the covid vaccine regardless of their religious, medical, and personal freedom reasons for not taking it.
  • Of course, millions of Americans object to being dictated to with a highly likely illegal and unConstitutional order.
  • But the real hypocrisy is who is immediately exempted from getting a mandatory vaccine.
  • The over one million illegal immigrants that have illegally entered the country since Biden took office are exempt from the vaccine decree.
  • The tens of thousands of Afghan refugees Biden is bringing into the country are exempt from the vaccine decree.
  • At least initially, the untold thousands of postal employees were exempted from the vaccine decree; there is some confusion if that exemption is still in place.
  • And the worst exemption of all: all members of Congress and their 31,000 Congressional staffers are also exempt from the vaccine decree.
Unbelievable. The regular tax paying, heart of the country citizens are being dictated to stick chemicals into their body whether they want to or not. Illegal immigrants, Afghan refugees, postal workers and anybody associated with Congress get exempted. A prime “do as I say, not as I do” hypocrisy.

2) The “STOCK Act ''was enacted so that members of Congress do not trade on insider government information to sell and buy stocks and other investments, a habit that made many, many members of Congress quite wealthy. After the original legislation was passed, Congress and Obama silently weakened the tenets of the act and provided loopholes for members of Congress to still get wealthy, just made it more difficult to do.

And even with the lessened stringency, members of Congress are still getting caught with some shady financial dealings:
  • A DC watchdog group recently asked the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate Congresswoman Katherine Clark.
  • The claim is that the Congresswoman did not disclose $285,000 in financial transactions in a timely manner.
  • Ms. Clark is not a newbie member of Congress, she is the assistant Speaker of the House.
  • And she is not the only one who is under the STOCK microscope including Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.
  • Specifically, Clark is alleged of not properly disclosing 19 personal stock transactions within the required 45 days that her husband transacted.
  • The value of the transactions were substantial, ranging from $19,019 to $285,000.
  • The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust allege that Wasserman Schultz, Congresswomen Kathy Castor and Lori Trahanm, and Senator Mark Kelly also didn’t disclose financial transactions in a timely manner.
These folks should know better. They receive training on what they need to do and how quickly they need to report transactions. Wasserman Schultz waited almost a year to report her family’s transactions, far beyond the 45 day requirement. But we should not be surprised. American politicians always seem to think that laws and regulations are merely suggestions for them, not hard core rules. More “do as I say, not as I do” hypocrisy.

3) Eight months into the Biden Presidency and it has been a mess:
  • A debacle of a withdrawal from Afghanistan that unnecessarily killed many many Americans and Afghanis.
  • Biden’s incompetence has antagonized our friends around the world while emboldening our enemies, Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.
  • There is raging inflation across all aspects of life.
  • A covid, drug cartel, drug addiction, humanitarian, human trafficking, criminal gang, and juvenile sexual abuse crisis continues on the border.
  • A government covid mandate that is dictatorial and unConstitutional.
  • A President that has the mental capacity of a seven year old after suffering severe elder abuse by his wife, his family, and his political handlers.
It is a sinking ship and many of those on that ship are already abandoning the sinking ship only eight months into the term:
  • Chief of staff for the Department of Homeland Security, Karen Olick, has decided to resign.
  • Given the disaster on the border, who can blame her, somebody is going to take the fall for this fiasco and she probably wants out before she catches the blame.
  • Why else would someone resign from such a high profile job just 8 months into it?
  • Two highly trained FDA vaccine experts, Philip Krause, and Marion Gruber, have also resigned because they did not agree with Biden’s plan for a third covid booster shot.
  • Again, it must be bad if trained scientists resign from likely high paying government jobs because of the ignorance of the President.
  • Biden, untrained in science, vaccines, medicine, or any relevant discipline wants everyone to get a third covid shot while these trained scientists recently wrote a paper that stated, “current evidence does not, therefore, appear to show a need for boosting in the general population, in which efficacy against severe disease remains high.”
  • Given that Secretary of State Anthony Blinken came off as a total incompetent in front of Congress recently, he may also be heading out.
For whatever reason, the rats seem to be abandoning ship just eight short months into the cruise, giving up careers and high paying jobs. The Biden Presidency is a disaster already and shows no sign of getting better anytime soon, another failed set of political hacks and career bureaucrats.

More “do as I say, not as I do” from the American political class, more greed and self enrichment from the same set of people, and the sinking Biden Presidency.
