An Open Letter To Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, and Others In Congress Who Are Freaking Out About DOGE

 An Open Letter To: 


  • Senator Elizabeth Warren

  •  Senator Chuck Schumer

  • And the other members in Congress who are freaking out because Trump is identifying questionable spending of taxpayer wealth around the world


Many of you are having fits because Trump, via DOGE, is identifying how billions of taxpayer dollars are being paid out on some very questionable projects around the world. You were silent when the money was being spent but somehow you all  now find it offensive that Trump is bringing to light where and what our tax dollars are  being spent on, a basic right that we should have since we paid for these expenses and projects.


Let’s look at some of these expenditures and find out if we have the same priorities  relative to how these taxpayer dollars are being spent:


If you thought it was a better idea to spend $20 million on a “Sesame Street production in IRAQ” then to help out Patterson High School in Baltimore where over 75% of their high school students are performing at elementary school levels in math and reading and about a third of those students are performing at no higher than second grade level in math and reading, then you and I have different priorities.


If you thought it was a better idea to spend $5.5 million on “LGBT issues in  UGANDA” then to help out schools in Chicago where about 75% of Chicago Public School students could not read at grade level and 83% could not function in math at grade level, then you and I have different priorities.


If you thought it was a better idea to spend $4.5 million to “combat misinformation is Kazakhstan” then to fix the reality that American kids perform far below the kids in dozens of other nations when it comes to standardized tests (as administered by The Program for International Student Assessment), then you and I have different priorities.


If you thought it was a better idea to spend $3.9 million for “LGBT  causes in the western BALKANS” then to provide safe shelter for our 770,000 homeless Americans, then  you and I have different priorities.


If you thought it was a better idea to spend $2,1 million to help the BBC “value the diversity of LIBYAN society” then to help the 47 million Americans that are having trouble feeding themselves and their families, living in “food insecure households,” then you and I have different priorities.


If you thought it was a better idea to spend $6.0 million for tourism in EGYPT then to help the over 100,000 Ameircans who overdose and die every year because they could not get medical help to help them overcome drug addiction, then you and I have  different priorities.


If you thought it waa a better idea to spend $2 million to fund sex change operations in GUATEMALA  then help the 26 million Ameircans who cannot afford health insurance for their families, then you and I have different priorities.


If you thought it was a better idea to spend $7.9 million for a project that “would teach SRI LANKAN journalists how to avoid binary gendered language” then to fix the Social Security and Medicare programs that are hurtling towards financial  insolvency, then you and I have different priorities.


If you thought it was a better idea to spend $1.5 million to “rebuild the CUBAN media ecosystem,” then to provide additional funding in cities across the country suffering from skyrocketing crime rates, then you and I have different priorities.


Of course, there is no right or wrong answer, just different priorities. But apparently, I think it is better to spend billions of valuable taxpayer dollars helping out our families, neighbors and communities in need while you folks think it is a better idea to spread our limited tax dollars around the world, from Egypt to Uganda to Vietnam to Cuba and to dozens of other countries around the world on projects that seem quite inane. 


And I find your priorities despicable, shallow, and  disgusting.

The Failing Biden Presidency - Part 5

This is the fifth in a series of posts that document the idiocy and total failure of the Biden Presidency so far. After being in the Oval Office for a few months, the world is in much worse shape both domestically and internationally due to the failed and idiotic leadership and actions of Joe Biden. His approval ratings are sinking faster than the increase in violence and price inflation that he has caused to happen. Today’s discussion does not provide any hope that things will improve under his leadership anytime soon.

1) We have already talked about the many, many failures of the Biden administration, just a few months into its term. Just type "The Failing Biden Presidency" in the search box above and those previous posts documenting Biden failures will put up.

The Read/Act website recently ran an article where they listed out SOME of his failures, a few of which we had already discussed but this list provides a good, quick review of his failures:
  1. In just a matter of a few months, Biden has managed to create a humanitarian, drug cartel, human trafficking, drug addction, and national security disaster at the border. The 180,034 illegal border crossings in the month of May hit a record as the third-highest in the 97-year history of the Border Patrol.
  2. Just days into office, Biden killed off the Keystone XL Pipeline, immediately killing off 12,000 high paying American jobs, an action that will have absolutely no effect on the climate. In addition, he made the country rejoin the bogus and flawed Paris Climate Agreement that will cost the American taxpayer trillions of dollars and destroy anywhere from an estimated 400,000 to 2.7 million jobs while requiring China and India to do nothing to curb their carbon emissions.
  3. His proposed tax hikes will affect every American, regardless of income level, making living costs rise and good paying jobs become scarcer.
  4. His bogus infrastructure plan, that will cost Americans about $2 TRILLION, dedicates only 7% of that amount to actually fixing roads, bridges and the like, with the remaining 93% going to pet projects of politicians that will, as always, be ineffective, inefficient, and never attain their goals.
  5. He chose to support teachers' union vs. the education of American kids by siding with the teachers’ union to keep schools shut down but still pay teachers while kids went uneducated or undereducated during the pandemic.
  6. Biden killed the Mexico City policy which now forces American taxpayers to fund abortions overseas. Rather than take care of the homeless and underfed kids in this country, he is sending taxpayer money that could have been used for that purpose to abort babies halfway around the world.
  7. Biden showed no leadership or diplomacy during the recent violent Hamas and Israeli fighting, sitting mute in the corner as people were getting killed on a daily basis.
  8. Recent cost of living statistics show that prices are rising quicker than ever over the past 13 years with the price of gas, lumber, real estate, and other commodities rising even quicker and Biden having no plan to get the rising costs under control.
  9. Gas prices are over 50% higher than they were six months ago, just prior to Biden taking office.
On January, 19, 2021, gas prices were about $1.00 a gallon cheaper, housing prices were not shooting through the proverbial roof, the Middle East was calm, the country was vibrantly energy independent, and the southern border was calm and secure. Joe Biden took office on January 20, 2021 and this is the chaos he has caused since then with his clueless and scatterbrained leadership.

2) We have previously made the case that people are dying because of Biden’s incompetence. By encouraging people to come across our southern border like he has, people are dying trying to make that trip across some very brutal terrain, dodging drug smugglers, human smugglers,and criminal gangs in the process. The Hamas/Israeli fighting has killed hundreds. Iran’s terrorist activities have increased since Biden took over since they know he will do nothing to stop them, activities that will and have killed many people. The open border has resulted in a tsunami of illegal drugs coming into the country that will addict and eventually kill thousands of Americans. Joe Biden’s policies are not just inept, they are fatal.

Which is in line with the following harrowing and bewildering action his administration has taken:
  • Trump enacted a discount program when he was in office that allowed Americans with diabetes and low income levels to get the vital insulin they need to live at a discounted price.
  • Trump’s actions were aimed at requiring 340 community health centers to discount drug prices for low income patients, specifically insulin and epinephrine.
  • For whatever sick reason, Biden has decided to terminate that program which will send the price of insulin and epinephrine substantially higher.
  • The National Association of Health Care Centers has said Biden’s actions would “adversely impact Community Health Centers” and make it harder for low-income patients to afford the medications.
When asked the reason for eliminating the discount program by Fox News, the administration did not respond with an answer. The obvious conclusion is that the drug companies got to Biden and got their way, no discounts on the drugs they produce, but that is pure speculation. But I can't think of any other reason for doing away with a vital, simple and apparently life saving program for Americans in need.

3) Biden recently attended the G7 economic summit with other European leaders. Unfortunately, he made a fool of himself in two new ways, this time on the global stage. First off, when asked about Russia and what to do about their activity in Syria’s civil war, he rambled on and actually referred to Syria as Libya three times. Libya is not Syria, they are over 1,300 miles apart from each other and have nothing to do with each other. And yet, Biden mixed them up three times in a very few set of sentences.

Second, consider the rambling incoherent speech that Biden gave, embarrassing himself and the country with this nonsensical talk: “There is a lot going on where we can work together with Russia. For example, in Libya, we should be opening up the passes to be able to go through and provide — food assistance — an economic, I mean — vital assistance to a population that is in real trouble. I think I’m gonna very hard — by the way there’s places where — I should not be starting off by negotiating in public here, but let me say it this way — Russia has engaged in activities which we believe are contrary to international norms. They have also bitten off some real problems they’re gonna have trouble chewing on. For example, the rebuilding of Syria, of Libya — you know, this is — they’re there and as long as they’re there without the ability to bring about some order in the region, you can’t do that very well without providing or the basic economic needs of people, so I am hopeful that we can find accommodation where we can save the lives of people in, for example, in Libya consistent with the interests of — may be far different reasons — but for the same reasons.”

Totally incoherent, totally nonsense, The last sentence rambles on for over 80 words and makes no sense. Mix in the fact that he says Libya three times when he means Syria just makes it that much more embarrassing.

Look, we take no pleasure in pointing out his mistakes. It is what it is, he needs medical help and does not need the pressure of being the leader of the free world. He is not up to the task which is no fault of his own.

But people are dying because his family, his wife, and his political handlers put him in this untenable position. The country is suffering economically and from a national security perspective because of his declining mental state. The U.S. looks weak and foolish on the international stage which will have long term, negative ramifications for us all.

It was and is elder abuse by all in his circle of family, friends, and peers and we are all suffering because of their greed, their ego and their callousness.

If you answered Joe Biden to each of the above quiz questions you would be 100% correct. Joe Biden, as the above 46 statements seem to indicate, is and has been a serial sexual groper and predator for a very long time. His racist comments and attitudes stretch back decades. He lies at the drop of a hat. His foreign policy decisions and positions have never been right. His corruption, self enrichment and enrichment of his family totals millions and millions of dollars. And his statements of idiocy show that his intellectual depth is not that great. 


His over four decade career in Washington politics is void of any significant, positive achievement except for making his family fabulously wealthy. His positions and work have caused the negative disruption of millions of lives, from his advocacy of the Clinton crime bill and the detrimental effect it has had on minorities in this country to his support of stupid foreign wars in Iraq and Libya which has unnecessarily devastated the lives of millions of people overseas. He is not a friend of Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, preferring to support the PLO and Israel’s mortal enemy, Iran.


I welcome anyone to give me 46 reasons why Biden should be elected and would be an effective leader, given his dismal record of politics, foreign policy, and human decency as illustrated by the 46 points above.


But I also have another problem, a deeply personal problem, with the Biden campaign. I was once the long-time co-guardian of an uncle who suffered terribly from dementia. I saw close up what a horrible fate and a horrible end of life experience this disease is. It robs a person of their dignity and their life experiences. And I believe that Joe Biden is in the throes of a similar fate, given his recent behaviors of confusion, aggression, and inability to string two or three thoughts together, the symptoms my uncle exhibited throughout his mental decline.


Thus, I find it disgusting, inhumane, and a severe form of elder abuse that his wife, his family, his friends, and his party handlers would subject him to the rigors, stress, and humiliations of a Presidential campaign for their own benefit. I personally do not feel he is fit from a cognitive ability perspective to be President and for his inner circle of friends and family to put him through this experience when he should be relaxing and enjoying the remaining years of his life, given his mental state, is personally repugnant to me. May they find their just rewards either in this life or the next life for their selfish use and abuse of a senior citizen in distress and for putting the country in this position.
