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)Bob Mendenez is a former New Jersey U.S. Senator that was recently sentenced to 11 years in prison for corruption after he was found guilty in Federal court. But as we have discussed over the years, corruption is kind of standard operating procedure and one of the most tenured member of Congress is alleged to be steeped in corruption:
Podcaster Joe Rogan and former Illinois governor, Rod Blagojevich, discussed the alleged corruption and self enrichment of Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House.
According to a New York Times article, Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, are worth about $240 million, up from $171.4 million that they were estimated to be worth in 2021.
Thus, they upped their net worth by almost $70 million in three short years.
“Her estimated net worth has increased significantly since 2008 thanks in large part to the success of her husband, Paul Pelosi, who is a venture capitalist and property investor. It’s not possible to know the precise net worth of members of Congress as they are only required to provide a range of values in their financial disclosures and not specific dollar amounts,” Newsweek noted.
In 2024 alone, the Peloissi return on investment was much higher than just about every professional investment company in the country, an amazing 720% return on investment over the past decade.
Thus, given these numbers many allege that her husband drives his investment decisions by insider government information that his wife has provided to him over the decades.
While this corruption has never been proven, a smart persons(s) has come up with a solution to the alleged insider trading.
They have developed a phone app called Autopilot which tracks the Pelosis’ investment decisions with the logic being that you too can get outstanding investment returns by simply doing whatever the Pelosi family does.
According to Rogan: “Oh, it’s so good. I’m not really a stock market person. I don’t pay attention. But, I do know people that are very invested in the stock market. And ‘Pelosi stock tracker’ is legit. Like, you could find out what she’s buying and you should buy it. She’s a really good stockbroker Rod. She’s super good at it.”
I guess that if you cannot prove corruption and stamp out corruption, you might as well profit off of it via the app. Maybe Menendez just went about it the wrong way.
Note: long ago we reported on a little bit of shady dealings that Nancy Pelosi was allegedly involved with as it pertains to the VISA credit card IPO:

2)We have often asserted that the country can survive bad politicians, e.g. Nixon, Carter, Biden, etc. However, it will not survive a corrupted press. When the mainstream media in a country becomes a mouthpiece for the political class, then the checks and balances that an unbiased press should be providing in a democracy becomes non-existent.
Only someone with blinders on can say that the mainstream press has not devolved into a mouthpiece for liberal and Democratic politicians. And recent disclosures again prove how corrupt and out of integrity the mainstream press has become:
Marc Caputo and Tara Palmeri used to be “journalists” for the left leaning news site, Politico.
They recently admitted that Politico was guilty of covering up the dirty laundry and other laptop scandal of Hunter Biden’s infamous broken laptop computer.
Many believe, and opinion polls support their view, that if the public knew what the Biden crime family and Hunter Biden were up to, it would have swayed the 2020 presidential election to Trump.
Caputo has now publicly proclaimed that when he tried to report on the laptop in October 2020, Politico executives told him to shut up and not report on any aspect of the laptop: don’t write about it, don’t talk about it, don’t tweet about it.
Instead, Politico wrote about the now debunked and outright lie that Trump and Russia were partners in “disinformation.”
Palmeri verified his position, that despite doing a real journalist's job and doing in-depth research over several months, Politico executives also squashed her efforts.
Caputo also said that his bosses told him to back off in 2019 about a tax problem Hunter biden had back then.
We can survive corrupt and bad politicians, we cannot survive corrupt and bad journalism.
3)Let’s stay on the corruption angle and go to the Federal Reserve:
A former Federal Reserve official was recently indicted for allegedly giving China confidential economic data that was developed by the Federal Reserve.
Federal authorities arrested John Harold Rogers and accused him of conspiring with Chinese intelligence officers while working as an economic advisor to the Federal Reserve.
His arrangement with the Chinese stretched over 11 years, from 2010 to 2021, and he used the cover story of teaching at a Chinese university where he earned a whopping $450,000 salary, which should have been a sure tip off that he was up to no good.
He tried to cover his acts of treason by lying to Federal investigators in 2021.
Another day, another case of corruption, this time at the Federal Reserve.
That will do it for today: corruption in DC be it accepting bribes, self enrichment using insider government information or outright treason of the Chinese.
