November, Part 1, Political Class Inanity: A Tax Delinquent Politician, More Illegal Immigrant Violence, Overall Violent Crime Rate Is Way Up Under Biden, and More

  Every month we devote posts to just general political class insanity that is running rampant through the country. The members of the American political class continue to show that they are incapable of efficiently operating any level of government in this country. 

Even their best efforts are almost always ineffective at resolving any problem facing Americans. They spend a great amount of time not trying to improve the lives of their citizens but continually ensuring their reelection and enriching themselves, their families, and their friends in the process, all at taxpayer expense.


1)We have always said that most American politicians abide by the old saying, “do as I say, not as I do.” Many times they seem to think and assume that the very laws they pass do not apply to them, that they are somehow above the law. A politician running for the U.S. Senate in Maryland is the latest example:

  • Angela Alsobrooks is running for the U.S. Senate representing the state of Maryland.

  • The problem is that she apparently owes $47,580.56 in property taxes on a home that she used to own in Washington D.C.

  • Apparently she accepted the fact that she had not paid the necessary taxes on the property but as always, the politician had an excuse,  namely that she had never been sent the property tax bills.

Although she has paid back some of the unpaid taxes, she still owes almost $30,000. And yet, she is running for the U.S. Senate. Ain’t America great, not pay taxes and still be eligible to serve in the U.S. Senate?

2)A primary, basic function of any government entity is to protect the lives and property of the citizens they serve. Unfortunately, Biden’s  failed immigration policies have allowed all sorts of nefarious types to enter the country: organized crime organizations, drug cartels, human traffickers, etc. The actions of these folks have resulted in the  rapes, murders, thefts, and drug overdoses of an untold number of Americans.

We did a series of posts on these atrocities against American citizens starting with:

https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2024/07/bidens-failed-immigration-policies-and.html

And the carnage has not ended:

  • A Chicago Jewish gentleman was recently walking towards his synagogue to worship when he was shot for no other reason than being Jewish.

  • The shooter is allegedly an illegal immigrant who crossed into this country illegally in California.

  • He also allegedly is from an Arab country since during the shooting and the following shooting against the first responders he was shouting “Allahu Akbar.”

So  not only are illegal  immigrants committing run of the mill violence and criminal acts but at least one of them is intent on doing violent, anti-semetic hate crimes.

3)We have often discussed the reality that Biden’s failed economic programs and policies have resulted in double digit inflation over the course of his time in office.  In fact, at one point, the  monthly annual estimate of inflation had hit a 40 year high.

But the high information rates are not the only very high,  and very undesirable rate, of his administration:

  • In 2021, Biden took apart the existing and reliable long term FBI crime reporting system and replaced it with an optional system that allowed local law enforcement agencies to make their crime submission to the FBI optional.

  • This resulted in over 6,000 law enforcement agencies across the country opting out of reporting their crime statistics.

  • This is almost 30% of the total number of law enforcement agencies in the  country.

  • Thus, overnight, the rate of violent crime  officially decreased by about 30% simply because crimes were not being reported.

  • And some of the agencies that bailed out of reporting their crime were crime infested cities like New York City and  Los Angeles.

  • When the latest crime statistics were released it showed a decrease in violent crime by 2.1% and Biden claimed success in reducing violent crime.

  • But the FBI quietly admitted later that violent crime actually increased by 4.5%.

  • This increase was the result of an additional 1,699 murders, 80,029 violent crimes, 7,780 more rapes, 33.459 robberies, and  37,091 aggravated assaults that were eventually counted in the final estimate.

  • Thus, the Feds via the FBI and Biden administration tried to cover up well over 100,000 violent crimes that Americans had suffered.

  • With their credibility destroyed, it is  worthwhile looking at a  non-FBI and non-Biden crime reporting source.

  • The National Crime  Victimization  Survey is that source since it relies on reports from victims, not corrupted government sources.

  • Their analysis and reporting actually found that there was a whopping 55% increase in violent crime since Biden and Harris took office.

  • And while the real statistics show the steep increase in violent crime, there is also anecdotal evidence of how bad crime is rampaging.

  • For example, the city government in Chicago has not renewed a contract with a “gun-fire detection agency” because there were just too many guns being fired in the city.

  • There is now so much gunfire that Chicago police respond to gunfire only if someone is actually shot.

  • In New York City violent subway crime has gotten so bad that the governor had to deploy the National Guard to patrol the subway system.

More government corruption to  cover up the failure of the Biden administration to provide a very, very basic government service: protecting the lives and property of every American. Lies, deceit, and violence, a horrible legacy of a horrible Presidency.

4)Speaking of corruption, consider recent reporting by former CBS News correspondent, Catherine Herridge (note: I consider Ms. Herridge one of the few unbiased, thorough, and intelligent journalists left in the country and left in the journalism industry):

  • IRS whistle blowers have come out to accuse key government agencies such as the IRS, DOJ, and FBI of  being aware that Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop computer was the real  deal and not some type of Russia shenanigans.

  • The report goes on to suggest that Federal government officials avoided investigating the laptop to protect Biden’s run to the Presidency.

  • The whistleblowers allege that prosecutors instructed them to NOT pursue any lines of questioning that could  implicate Joe Biden in his son’s likely unlawful activities.

  • Their accusation is that the prosecutors and others wanted to protect the “Big Guy” which we now know is code for Joe Biden: “There were a lot of overt investigative steps that we were not allowed to take because we had an upcoming election.”

  • They explained that the Biden campaign’s influence over investigative protocols was evident throughout their work: “The prosecutors specifically told us that they didn’t want to ask about the big guy because they knew it was Joe Biden.”

  • Herridge reports that as government officials were telling Americans that the laptop was a Russian, they all knew that it was real  and if the reality of the laptop contents got made public Biden would suffer at the polls in the upcoming election.

  • Anthony Blinken,  Biden’s Secretary of State, allegedly played a big part in suppressing the laptop story and thus, got rewarded with a valuable Cabinet position.

More government corruption. Thankfully, some honest IRS whistleblowers have come forward to show that Biden probably would not have been installed as President if the Federal government had not covered up his son’s shady doings. 

Unfortunately, the government does not like whistle blowers and these IRS  whistle blowers have paid a heavy career toll: “The IRS has put a smothering blanket on me, hoping that I quit, that they find some way to terminate me or commit suicide or something.” It’s a shame since these folks proved that Washington in general, Biden crime family specifically, exists and will corrupt government agencies to help them grow their wealth and power.

Enough insanity for today: government corruption protects the Bidens, government corruption fakes the true crime statistics, more illegal immigrant violence in  Chicago, and a Maryland politician says no taxes for me.

October, 2024, Part 4, Political Class Insanity: National Debt Continues Out of Control, Medicare Fraud Continues, BLM Heads Toward Bankruptcy, and More

  Every month we devote posts to just general political class insanity that is running rampant through the country. The members of the American political class continue to show that they are incapable of efficiently operating any level of government in this country. 


Even their best efforts are almost always ineffective at resolving any problem facing Americans. They spend a great amount of time not trying to improve the lives of their citizens but continually ensuring their reelection and enriching themselves, their families, and their friends in the process, all at taxpayer expense.


1)We have spent a number of posts discussing how Biden’s failed immigration policies have allowed thousands and  thousands of criminals, gang members, and drug cartel members to stroll into the country. That has resulted in many,  many Americans  becoming victims of rape, murder, drug overdoses, and assaults. This has made Americans much more likely to be victims of crimes since Biden’s policies never allowed potential criminals to be identified and denied access to the country.

And to the atrocities committed on Americans listed above by illegal criminal and  violent illegal immigrants we can add another insult:

  • According to law enforcement authorities in Pinellas County Florida, over 100 people have been arrested for looting and scamming citizens as a result of the two recent hurricanes.

  • 41 of those people arrested, about 40% of the total are illegal immigrants.

  • Charges for those caught looting include armed robbery, burglary, loitering, prowling, grand theft, vandalism and trespassing.

  • According to Pinellas County Sheriff, Bob Gualtieri: “They’re going into people’s homes, they’re taking stuff, they’re rummaging through their things.”

  • Almost all of the illegal immigrants arrested are from Central and South America.

Another example where the government has failed to protect the  lives and property of the citizens they serve with about 40% of this type of crime being done by people that maybe should not even  be in the country to begin with.

2)Several years ago, as a result of the George Floyd situation, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization sprung up. It was supposed to further the aims and improve the lives of black Americans. They were the hit of the land for a while, some politicians bowed down to them, the NFL and many companies gave huge financial donations to the organization, and they looked to be a legitimate attempt to improve the lives of the people they were supposed to represent.

But over the past few years, the mythology of BLM started to unravel. Financial misspending, corruption, violence within their own ranks, etc. tarnished their image without improving the life of a single black American. And now the rubber is really hitting the road when it comes to  mismanagement:

  • The BLM Global Network Foundation is running low on cash despite having been endowed with millions and  millions of dollars.

  • According to a recent report by The Free Press, an  independent news organization, BLM is likely to go out of business “unless something changes dramatically.”

  • The report says that the organization gathered $90 million since 2020 and yet, it is on  the edge of extinction: “Capitalizing on the lucrative opportunities afforded to them as high-profile progressives, the three celebrity founders moved on, leaving the operation to wither in the hands of deputies who, sadly, turned on each other. A remarkable spate of legal trouble, brushes with law enforcement, and tangles with the Internal Revenue Service have all but spelled the death of the enterprise that you probably know best as Black Lives Matter.”

  • Tyree Conyers-Page, a former leader of the Atlanta BLM chapter, was recently sentenced to 3.5 years in Federal prison for money laundering and wire fraud.

  • Other reports allege that various BLM leaders have used donations for vacations to Jamaica, mansions in  Canada, Georgia, and  Los Angeles, and other personal expenses.

  • $8.7 million in donations are unaccounted for.

Apparently,  it  is  not only government agencies that can waste well  intentioned money and accomplish nothing in return.

3)We have all too often discussed the corruption and incompetence of the Federal  government when it comes to protecting taxpayer wealth and taxes. This has not gotten any better over time:

  • A California man and woman  have been arrested for allegedly defrauding Medicare of over $54 million.

  • They collected Medicare funds for services such as hospice and diagnostic services that were never actually done.

  • They then laundered the defrauded Medicare funds via gold bars and  coins.

  • Their arrest indictment ran  to 24 counts.

  • They submitted false Medicare bills via seven  bogus healthcare companies.

  • A third person involved with the  scam, assumed to be a Ukrainian, has fled the country.

The good news is that this scam was identified and shut down. The bad news is there are probably many more scams underway that continue to steal taxpayer wealth via the incompetence of the Medicare program. You also wonder how the scam went on so long without being suspected, it takes a pretty long time to gather $54 million in bogus claims.

4)The Federal government national debt is about to hit $36,000,000,000,000, that's $36 TRILLION. As we have discussed many times, this amount of debt is  not only outrageous but it is not as if we got value for the debt that every taxpayer is burdened with:

  • Our infrastructure continues to age and deteriorate.

  • Our kids continue to usually get subpar education quality.

  • Social Security and Medicare continue to plummet towards insolvency.

  • Millions of Americans are homeless, hungry without health insurance, and fighting drug addiction.

And there is no end in sight with regards to wasting taxpayer wealth and getting nothing in return:

  • The Federal  government overspent its revenue stream in fiscal  2024 by a whopping  $1,800,000,000,000.

  • The only time the deficit was higher was during the two COVID years of 2020 and 2021.

  • Thus, Biden now has the highest budget deficit of all  time in a government business as usual scenario.

  • The Federal government brought in $4.919 trillion in 2024, probably the largest amount of annual tax collected by any government entity in the history of mankind  and yet, Biden still overspent this record amount of tax revenue by $1.8 trillion.

  • The biggest driver of this record setting deficit was the reality that the American taxpayer is now officially paying over one trillion a year to cover the interest payments 

  •  $1.133 trillion was the exact amount of interest payment to or about $2.1 million  per MINUTE..

  • In theory, every American  citizen, man,  woman and child, would have had to have paid over $3,300 each to cover just the interest payments on the debt in 2024 or over $13,000 for a family of four to cover the interest payment.

Obviously, this insanity will not end well if the out of control Federal spending does not get contained very, very soon. The government  debt and the associated interest payments will continue to grow exponentially until the whole system collapses in a wave of hyperinflation and with it, our freedom and financial viability. 

Oh, and by the way, nobody in the American political seems to be discussing this wave of financial calamity that is forming. Either they do not understand the problem, they have no idea how to fix the problem, or are so fixated on their own self enrichment that they do not care about the rest of us.

Enough insanity for today: illegal immigrants allegedly looting in Florida, BLM going bankrupt, more Medicare fraud and the skyrocketing national debt.
