December, 2024, Part 5, Political Class Insanity: Biden Is Broken, Congress Is Broken, and The Associated Press Is Broken

 We have spent a lot of time lately discussing the violent and sometimes fatal consequences of Biden’s failed immigration policies on American citizens. Let’s take a break from that sad reality and discuss some good old political class insanity:

1)Biden has had many major failures across many components of his Presidency including foreign affairs. And one of his most disgusting and most total failures was the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Ignoring the input and advice of his civilian and military advisors relative to his ill advised withdrawal plan, he went ahead anyway with his plan and the result was a total disaster:


  • He left behind billions and billions of dollars worth of taxpayer funded military equipment which fell into the hands of the Taliban and has probably resulted in unnecessary deaths across the world well after the withdrawal because of those weapons.

  •  He left behind to fend for themselves American citizens and Afghan citizens that had aided the Americans during the 20 year war against the Taliban.

  • Rather than use the massive airbase that U.S. taxpayers had paid for, he decided to use the smaller and inadequate Kabul airport for the withdrawal.

  • His inept withdrawal plan led to the unnecessary deaths of 13 brave U.S. service people and 170 innocent Afghan citizens when a suicide bomber was able to infiltrate the withdrawal area.


Which gets us to the latest Biden scandal:


  • When the bodies of those brave 13 service people were returned to this country, the President, as is traditional, met their coffins when they were brought home from Afghanistan.

  • This is known as a “dignified transfer” ceremony.

  • But during the removal  of the coffins from the plane, Biden constantly looked at his watch, indicating that he was bored and had better things to do than to honor these brave soldiers.

  • But this scandal gets even more disgusting, given recently disclosed information.

  • Apparently, the families of the fallen soldiers were forced to wait for hours to receive the coffins of their fallen family members because Biden was not to be disturbed from his nap inside Air Force One.

  • According to one waiting relative, Roice McCollum: “Biden made us wait an extra three hours to receive the bodies of our dead family members because he could not pull it together.”

  • Mr. McCullom asserted that a military officer had actually told her that Biden was still napping on the plane and was not to be disturbed.

  • This assertion was confirmed by Darin Hoover, the father of a fallen Sgt. Taylor Hoover,  and Cristy Shamblin, the mother-in-law of Sgt. Nicole Gee: “We sat in  that office for what seemed like an eternity waiting on the  doddering old fool,” said Mr. Hoover.


A Biden spokesperson denied this incident happened but given the long history of Biden’s habit of lying about everything, I believe the relatives of the fallen heroes rather than the Biden Presidency.


2)As many probably know, the Federal  government almost shut down  this week as the incompetent in Congress proved again that they still do not have a sane, competent, and efficient budget development process. Chaos was narrowly averted, no thanks to Joe Biden.


As President, Biden should have had an active participant in the  negotiations to get a budget done since as head of the legislative branch a President would be responsible for executing that budget. However, he had little, if any, input to the process, and made no public statements helping to resolve the budget crisis.


During a recent White House press secretary, White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, had to face this dereliction of Presidential duty,  being asked by a reporter: “Why hasn’t President Biden said anything in the public about this? Don’t the American people deserve to know why millions of federal workers could enter this holiday period without a paycheck?” 


As always with this inept press secretary, she dodged the question of Biden’s ineptness and ignored the crisis, responding: “All Americans need to know that Republicans are getting in the way here and they are the ones who have created this mess. That’s the reality. That’s the fact.” 


A  complete dodge of the question that was asked. Pathetic administration all around.


3)We have often discussed the reality that the mainstream press, including the Associated Press, has lost most of their credibility when it comes to reporting news in an unbiased manner, often ignoring facts that are contrary to their leftist. liberal leaning. They are quick to point out the details when negative news occurs relative to conservative and  Republican  elements but hide or deflect news when it includes Democrats or liberals.


This was recently illustrated yet again by the Associated Press: 


  • Sadly, there was a horrific mass casualty event at a Christmas market in Germany when a car sped through a crowd of Christmas celebrants.

  • There were two people killed and dozens were injured.

  • The Associated Press tweeted out the story with the title, “A car has driven into a group of people at a Christmans market in Germany.”

  • The title gave the  impression that the car, not a driver, had driven into the crowd by itself.

  • In reality, the car was driven by a doctor from Saudi Arabia who, when he was arrested, was found to also have an explosive device in his possession, apparently intent to cause even more damage and deaths.

  • But from the AP headline it appears a self driving car did the damage.

  • And the first paragraph of the article led to the same impression: “A car plowed into a busy outdoor Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg on Friday, killing at least two people and injuring at least 60 others in what authorities called a deliberate attack. The driver was arrested at the scene shortly after the car barreled into the market at around 7 p.m., when it was teeming with holiday shoppers looking forward to the weekend.”


Like the mainstream has done many times, when a Muslim commits a terror attack like this, the mainstream media will very often try to hide the characteristics of the terrorist. And they wonder why no one trusts them to report unbiased news any more.


4)Back in 2020, we made the observation that, in our opinion, Biden was in cognitive decline and doubted he was intellectually capable of being President. For that observation, we privately received several deriding and profane comments on our position as some TDS folks rushed to refute our opinion on  his mental decline.


Four years later, after many verbal and physical gaffees, outbursts of anger and idiocy, we are pretty confident that we were right in our cognitive assessment four years ago. And according to the a recent article and research by the Wall Street Journal, we were probably right in our assessment:


  • The  Journal article outlined how his aides and staff often went to great lengths over the past four years to protect Biden from embarrassing himself in public and in private, and thus not embarrassing the country on the world stage.

  • The research involved speaking with 50 people to come to the  conclusion  that Biden nas been in serious cognitive decline for a while and the White House staff did their best to shield the public from this knowledge

  • For example, two staff members, Annie Tomasini and Ashley Wllias, were given the task to always be within ear shot and eye shot in order to guide him on how to enter and exit the stage at any public event.

  • Other aides made sure that Biden’s work schedule started later in the day since he was not that sharp in the morning.

  • Other meetings were often scrapped entirely because Biden was having an “off day“: He has good days and bad days, and today was a bad day so we’re going to address this tomorrow,” a former aide recalled one official saying to them, according to the WSJ.

  • Some Washington politicians said that aides and senior advisors acquired larger government roles over the years that Biden himself should have been doing but could not regularly handle because of his mental state.

  • Biden held only nine  full Cabinet meetings in four years with cabinet members more often having to meet with Biden advisors and not him.

  • The advisors would bring any needs or updates to Biden  rather than allow cabinet members to work with Biden  directly.

  • And according to the research, those cabinet members that often had direct interface with Biden saw those direct contacts decrease over time, probably because Biden’s cognitive abilities also decreased.

  • When meeting privately with political donors, those donors were shocked when told there would not be an open question and answer session with Biden, that they had to submit questions ahead of time that would presumably then be used to prep Biden.


You get the idea: Biden never should have been put in the position to run for President, he was in significant brain decline four years ago, a condition that just got worse over time. As a result, the American people suffered through the worst Presidency in  modern times because of his inability to define, plan, and execute positive strategies for the benefit of Americans.


As we have said before, this was not all Biden’s fault. It  seems much of the past four years he had no idea what was going on. His wife, his family,  and his political handlers should all be  arrested for elder abuse for putting a man  in his mental  condition through the pressures of being a Washington politician.


Not a pretty day: Biden  is broken, Congress is broken, and the Associated Press is broken.

December, 2019, Part 3, Another Politician Steals From Charity, Ocasio-Cortez Spouts More Idiocy, and More

It is another month which means it is again time to review the latest political class insanity from Washington and around the world. Political class insanity takes many forms including the wasting of taxpayer wealth, criminal fraud within government programs, inane and stupid political quotes and actions, the inability to create and implement effective and efficient government programs, stupid and ill performing economic policies and strategies, and other forms of insanity that continue to evolve and surprise and shock us.

Let’s get started:

1) Warner Todd Huston, writing for the Godfather Politics website on December 7, 2019, reported on a nasty situation in Pennsylvania:
  • Movita Johnson-Harrell is a Muslim woman who was elected to the state legislature in Pennsylvania.
  • She caused quite a commotion back at her swearing in ceremony this past March when she went nuts because the session was opened with a Christian prayer, a long running tradition and the religion of most people in the legislature, the state and the country.
  • Rather than respect the tradition and the religion of choice of her peers, she called her legislature colleagues racists and Muslim haters.
  • She then went way off the deep end by insisting that no Christian ever be allowed to pray in the state capital ever again.
  • She finished up this childish rant by stating the prayer was an explicit attack on her personally.
Talk about being immature and selfish. Rather than sit quietly and respectfully allow other human beings to have their moment of peace and exercise their First Amendment rights, she goes off on a selfish and mean spirited rant.

But karma can be a bitch since she turned out to probably be just another greedy self serving, self enriching politician like so many others in the American political class:
  • She has been arrested and charged with theft, perjury, and tampering.
  • Seems she ripped off a kids’ charity she had founded for about $500,000.
  • According to the article: “Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro has said that an investigation has found that the Muslim politician spent the hundreds of thousands of dollars of the charity’s money on “vacations, designer clothing, luxury car payments, real estate purchases, past-due mortgage payments, and other personal expenses. Her theft knew no bounds.” 
  • She has denied many charges of wrongdoing but not all of them.
Just another example of the low integrity, low life people that somehow continually get themselves elected and yet commit crimes of larceny and disrespect.

2) Amazon originally had planned to build a major headquarters facility in the Congressional district of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Besides bringing tens of thousands of high paying jobs to the district, resulting in a once in a lifetime bonanza of economic growth, the company vowed to the following:
  • Amazon would invest $2.5 billion in developing the location for their headquarters location.
  • This $2.5 billion would result in a load of high paying construction jobs and ancillary jobs and economic benefit to the area, e.g. food trucks to service the construction workers.
  • Eventually Amazon would station 25,000 employees at the location, highly paid employees that would buy and renovate housing in the area, eat in local restaurants, go to local movie theaters, buy clothes from local merchants, buy furniture to furnish their new homes, spend money on local transportation, etc.
  • Amazon promised to provide computer science course to 130 area high schools.
  • Amazon promised to hire at least 30 people from a nearby housing complex to work in its call center.
  • Amazon would help fund local infrastructure improvements.
  • Amazon would help fund a new 600 seat public school
  • Amazon would create a 3.5 acre waterfront park open to the public.
  • Amazon would set aside 25,000 square feet for a“community facility use/artist workspace.”
  • Amazon would set aside 10,000 square feet for an art and tech accelerator.
  • Amazon would set aside 263,000 square feet for light manufacturing space.
  • Amazon would set aside 10,000 square feet for workforce development and training space.
  • Amazon would set up internships for high school students.
  • Amazon, starting in 2020, would host semi-annual job fairs and resume workshops at the local housing complex for at least three years.
Again, a once in a lifetime economic gift was waiting for the people of Ocasio-Cortez’s Congressional district if she could just keep her mouth shut.

But alas, she could not. Her bad mouthing and stupid economic rationale ended up prompting Aazon to cancel their plans for her district and take the potential wealth machine elsewhere in the country including Nashville and the greater DC area.

But Amazon did recently announce that they would be renting office space in Manhattan, NOT Ocasio-Cortez’s district, for about 1,500 employees. This was a far cry from the 25,000 employees that would have come into her district along with the other perks listed above, none of which are going to happen in her district.

And yet somehow in her twisted and idiotic economic reasoning, she viewed this as a win and something she is proud of: “Won’t you look at that: Amazon is coming to NYC anyway – *without* requiring the public to finance shady deals, helipad handouts for Jeff Bezos, & corporate giveaways.” She went on to tweet: “Me waiting on the haters to apologize after we were proven right on Amazon and saved the public billions”:
So she smugly thinks that she won the battle with Amazon? How is that type of reasoning even possible:
  • Amazon is bringing 1,500 jobs to NYC rather than the 25,000 that were originally planned, i.e. only 6% of could have happened is happening.
  • And these jobs are not in her district.
  • Amazon is NOT bringing job training centers, construction jobs, call center jobs, parks, manufacturing, and a whole host of other benefits to her district.
  • Amazon is not bringing the untold millions of dollars in economic development wealth and increases income, sales, and property taxes to her district.
And yet she thinks she won?! How do you even begin arguing with such perverted and nonsensical logic like this? Twitter users, as usual, were brutally honest and correct in tearing up:
  • “I’m thanking her! Amazon is going up in my town instead. We need the jobs!”
  • “You realize you still cost your own district tens of thousands of jobs, right? And since Amazon isn’t building you also cost the city billions in revenue.” 
  • “This is such an odd and sad victory lap. Lol.”
  • “She caused a 25,000 job expansion in NY to go to 1,500 jobs in a rented space.” 
And she votes on legislation that affects us all. Idiocy.

3) Speaking of idiocy Democratic candidate Peter Buttigieg was throwing around some nonsensical words also:
  • Some pastor, William Barber, was recently preaching that American citizens should not hold a grudge against illegal immigrants since these illegal immigrants were simply returning to their original homeland, land that the U.S. long ago stole from Mexico.
  • Specifically: “We call people illegal aliens. Why can’t we just own in America that some of the people that are trying to come from Mexico here are coming back to land we stole? And the reason we took the land is because people wanted to keep their slaves?”
  • Obviously the pastor is free to have and spout his own opinion, no one is disputing that.
  • But to try and tie western expansion to the retention of slavery and to say that reason from over 150 years ago justifies unimpeded immigration into this country today is ridiculous on all levels.
Stupid stuff but according to news reports, Buttigieg sat in on the sermon and continually nodded in agreement, that “stolen land” from the 1800s justifies unrestricted immigration into this country today and even proposes that these illegal immigrants are somehow entitled to the this land within our boundaries.

This inspired applause from the congregation and agreement from Buttigieg. Which is stupid on many fronts for him as a national candidate. I doubt that the majority of Americans agree with this position of the pastor and Buttigieg, something you do not want to do if you are running for President. I think most would agree that Buttigieg wouid be seen as pandering to a vocal and very small minority audience that would be overwhelmed by others outside of this minority in an election. These views were voiced by some vocal Twitter users:
  • “Oh great. First reparations, now return land (states) to Mexico? Which ones, LA and Texas ? Maybe LA won’t mind but I think Texans will have something to say about that,” said one user.
  • “Let’s give away America in the name of tolerance.” 
  • “So Spanish Empire descendants leaving land they conquered from Aztecs in Mexico and coming to California illegally are justified in that they are reclaiming land they stole from the Native Americans before it was stolen from them by descendants of British colonists. Seems legit.” 
Bitching and moaning about what happened hundreds of years ago is an exercise in futility since it does not matter today. Rather than have a mature, adult discussion and action plan of how to fix immigration today that protects our borders, protects Americans’ safety, but is humane and reason to outsiders is not going to happen when politicians like Buttigieg pander to every minority faction with a gripe without proposing real solutions.

That will do it for today: more pandering by a politician, more alleged criminal actions by a politician and more stupidity from our favorite gaffe machine from Queens, New York.

The Horrors and Destruction that Donald Trump Has Imposed On America...Just Kidding! Part 11

Before we start today’s discussion, let’s review my voting history: 

  • I have never voted for a Republican for President in my life. 
  • Thus, I did not vote for Trump. 
  • I have rarely voted for a Republican for national office in my life. 
About 18 months ago, many liberals, Democrats, and millennials were besides themselves with grief and fear because their pre-ordained queen, Hillary Clinton, was not elected President. Instead, Donald Trump was elected, an individual that these same people despised, hated, and feared, an individual they felt would endanger and possibly destroy the country and our democracy. For the past year and a half they fretted, worried and lashed out at anything or anyone that even remotely smelled of Donald Trump.

Given that Trump has been in office for over 18 months, I thought, that as someone who did not vote for him, it would be a good idea to review the horror, trauma, and terrible things that Trump has subjected the country to in just eighteen month’s time. This is obviously a very sarcastic comment when you take an unbiased look at what has happened during the Trump Presidency. The many previous posts we did on this topic identified over 120 good things that have happened to America and Americans since Trump became President:

https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2018/07/the-horrors-and-destruction-that-donald.html

- U.S Steel is investing about $300 million in its domestic steel production operations including building a steel coating plant in Ohio and restarting two blast furnaces, creating new, high paying manufacturing jobs.


- Another steel manufacturer, Nucor, is creating hundreds of new jobs by building two new steel mills.

- The Trump administration has placed sanctions on two Myanmar military units and others for violence that has been committed against native Muslims, kind of taking the steam out of Trump’s enemies who accuse him of being a Muslim racist.

- The U.S. economy continues to get stronger and stronger while other major economies around the world are slowing down considerably.

- According to a recent Rasmussen poll, Trump’s approval level among likely voters hit 49% vs. a 41% disapproval level, i.e. more American likely voters approve his performance than disapprove.

- This level is about 5 points higher than Obama’s approval level was at the same time in his Presidency.

- According to a recent Gallup poll, Trump is at his highest approval level since taking office.

- Another Rasmussen poll found that Trump’s current approval rating among African-Americans is 36%, almost double the 19% level it was a year ago.

- Walmart recently announced quarterly financial results which showed the highest year over year growth in ten years with sales rising 4.5%, about double the growth rate that the experts were expecting.

- According to the Commerce Department, sales at restaurants and bars rose 1.3% in July, and the growth in the previous quarter was the highest quarterly growth level on record.

- As the Trump economy has gotten stronger and stronger, over 2.8 million Americans are no longer dependent on food stamps from the Federal government and American taxpayer, with Federal food dependency now under 40 million for the first time in a very long time.

- The unemployment rate in my home state of Florida just hit 3.7%, the lowest it has been since the year 2007.

Another twelve reasons to add to the previous 150 or so reasons why the first year and a half of the Trump Presidency has not wrought disaster on the country.

For those of you that have hated on Trump since day one, and given your obvious gross error in judgment relative to Trump, let me ask that you to do us all a favor by implementing the following changes in your behavior and attitude:

  • Chill out, tamp down your TDS affliction. No matter how much you hate Trump on a sexist, personal basis, get over it. He is the legally and duly elected President, he will be around for a while so refocus your hatred on more constructive issues and matters. You will live a lot longer if you take your hatred out of your heart and soul and devote it to something positive.
  • I would really appreciate it if some of you would apologize to the Trump voters you have disrespected in some of the grossest terms possible over the past year. You have called millions of voters racists, ignorant, stupid, Nazis, KKK members, and other horrible names simply because you disagreed with their voting choice. No American should be called such disgusting names simply because they exercised their Constitutional rights to the best of their abilities. Plus, slandering over 60 million Americans is no way to unite the country and get it focused on the real issues facing us all.
  • More personally, I would like, no I am demanding, an apology from some of you for your slanderous and disgusting name calling because in doing so, you insulted and disrespected my sister, my family members, my friends, and my co-workers who simply voted their conscience. I will defend their right to vote anyway they wanted and will no put up with your childish and vicious venom and bile directed at them, very important people in my life.
  • And finally, I challenge you to read the following blog post, a post that shows quite clearly that it was hateful people like some of you and your silence during the Obama years that actually caused Trump to be elected. Thus, the people you hate for voting for Trump are actually looking back at you in the mirror:

If you were silent in the dozens of instances listed in this post then you were responsible for the very thing you hate: a Trump Presidency. Or put another way, a so far successful and productive Trump Presidency. Over 160 accomplishments in a little more than a year and a half is not too shabby despite many of you wanting both Trump and the country to fail.
