September, 2021, Part 8, Political Class Insanity: More Afghanistan Failures, More Defund the Police Failures, More Chicago Violence and Politician Hypocrisy

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) Way too many times we have shown the pathetic attitude that American politicians have for everyday Americans with their “do as I say, not as I do attitude.” Politicians are real good passing down strict and anti-freedom rules and regulations relative to the pandemic, lockdowns, masks, etc. but always think that their very own rules do not apply to them:
  • The mayor of Chicago shut down most of her city, including hair salons, but forced her hair salon to open just for her to get her hair done, something no other Chicago woman could do.
  • The mayor of Beaumont, Texas also shut down her city but forced her favorite nail salon to open only for her to get her nails done, something no other Beaumont woman could do.
  • The governor of California drastically shut down most of his state, ordering masks to be worn everywhere but was shown to be out at a dinner with many other guests, none of whom were wearing a mask.
  • A New York Congresswoman went to a NYC benefit event dressed in the most hideous dress and not wearing a mask while all of the non-celebrities working the benefit wore a mask as required by the city government and mayor.
And the hypocrisy continues, this time out in Nevada:
  • This past September 11, casino billionaire, Steve Wynn, held a Las Vegas costume party in remembrance of the September 11 terror attacks and in honor of his ex-wife.
  • Many Democratic Party bigwigs attended the party including a Nevada US Senator and US Congresswoman attended the gala event.
  • The day before the event, the Nevada Democratic governor declared that masks had to be worn anytime people were gathered indoors.
  • Both the Senator and Congresswoman were photographed partying without any masks.
  • Besides the governor’s declaration and mask requirement, the event was held at The Cosmopolitan club, a venue that has a stated policy that “all guests” must wear masks while inside.
  • The Senator had been a big supporter of wearing a mask while inside, recently saying that “we can beat this pandemic” by acting “together.”
  • And yet, she is partying with the rich folks of Las Vegas, many of which give her campaign funds, without a mask on.
The hypocrisy never ends, and it doesn’t end in Las Vegas:
  • Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney is the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and he recently ignored a State Department travel warning by traveling to France, where he was seen without a mask at a party thrown by a billionaire.
  • Senator Elizabeth Warren was also seen maskless at the indoor wedding of Interior Secretary Deb Haaland in New Mexico
Turns out our political class is also an elitist class of hypocritical, condescending useless public servants.

2) One of the most frequently recurring posts in this blog over the years has been the ceaseless and ever escalating violence in the city of Chicago. A very, very basic function of government is to protect the lives and property of the people that the government serves. Thus, current and previous politicians in Chicago have been abject failures in executing that primary government function.

And under the leadership of current mayor, Lori Lightfoot, the violence and fatalities continue to get worse and worse:
  • Fifty four Chicago residents were shot during the past weekend in Chicago.
  • Nine of those shot died from their wounds.
  • Six of those nine fatalities occurred in a short, four hour stretch of time Saturday morning.
  • Most, if not all of the six fatalities, happened in the early, early morning hours, not a good time to be on the streets of Chicago.
  • Sixty people were shot the previous weekend and over 3,100 have been shot through September of this year.
  • Another 56 were shot through Thursday of last week before the weekend started.
And the death beat goes on without a single city politician having a clue to how to at least curtail the violence.

3) The helter-skelter withdrawal from Afghanistan has been a historical debacle. Biden had no clue, no plan, and no awareness of what was needed and what the ramifications would be of his idiocy in this matter. As a result, his hasty, sloppy and fatal withdrawal left an unknown number of Americans trapped behind Taliban roadblocks and barricades, their lives hanging by a thread.

And although Biden’s press secretary, Jen Psaki, and New York Senator Chuck Schumer are trying to minimize the number of Americans left behind, with Schumer actually stated the ridiculous idea that all of the Americans who wanted to get out got out, at a recent Congressional hearing Secretary of State Antony Blinken finally admitted what we all knew: there at least about 100 American citizens that Biden left behind and possibly several thousand permanent resident/U.S. green card holders that were also left behind.

Blinken claimed that his State Department is in “constant contact” with those thousands who are still stranded within the clutches of the terroristic and cut-throat Taliban. He claimed each citizen has been assigned a “case management team” to provide instructions on how to get out of the country, for whatever that is worth, given there are no U.S. diplomatic or military assets left in the country.

When pressed on how many green card holders were trapped, he admitted that he did not have a good estimate, another aspect of failure for Biden’s withdrawal debacle.

What a mess. When Fox News White House reporter, Peter Doocy, asked press secretary Psaki whose fault it was that so many hundreds, if not thousands, were left behind, she walked away and claimed “it was not about fault.” It was somebody’s fault, Jen, even if you will not stand up and answer a very legitimate and possibly fatal question for those left behind.

4) One last piece of insanity for today. We have often cited the idiocy that many liberal city politicians followed when they defunded their police departments in the face of the George Floyd murder and riots. We have also talked about the fatal fallout and failure such actions were, with crime, violence and deaths rising significantly as fewer police resources were deployed to contain crime.

The center of the insanity was the city of Minneapolis, the city where Floyd was murdered. Consider watching the following video clip where you find out that the fallout from defunding the city police department, in addition to demeaning and discrediting the police, resulted in more crime, more violence, more deaths, and law abiding citizens forming their own militia to protect their lives and property:


That will do it for today: more defund the police failures, more Afghanistan withdrawal debacles, more Chicago street violence, and more politician hypocrisy.
