March, 2020, Part 1, Political Class Insanity: Political Corruption In Massachusetts, Biden Under Investigation, and Biden's Alternative Reality

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) Political corruption does not just exist with Washington politicians. It can find its way down to state and local politicians also. Consider a recent report from the Federalist Papers:

Former Massachusetts state senator, Brian Joyce, was recently arrested and charged with using his political office as a “criminal enterprise.”
He was arrested under a 113 county Federal indictment.
He was accused of taking over $1 million in bribes and kickbacks when in office and abusing that office of public trust.
He was also charged with racketeering, extortion, fraud, money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the IRS.
He was arrested by the FBI after a two year investigation.
According to the FBI, he used his law practice by, ““falsely characterizing the bribe and kickback payments as legal referral fees,” and that he lied to the state Ethics Commission about the payments.”

Now, as always, he is innocent until proven guilty. But seriously, 113 counts and a two year Federal investigation does not make it look good for possibly yet another politician who sees public office as a personal enrichment opportunity rather than a way to serve the voters with integrity.

2) According to a recent article on the National Insiders website, Joe Biden is now under serious investigation by the Ukrainian government:

The investigation is looking into if Biden had pressured Ukrainian officials to drop an investigation of Hunter Biden and forced the resignation of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.
This is related to the fact that Biden’s son, Hunter, had received over $3 million form the country’s natural gas company, Burisma Holdings, while Joe Biden was overseeing a U.S. effort to address Ukrainian corruption and despite the reality that his son had absolutely NO energy experience or background.
The charge against Biden is that he interfered with the work of an official of a Ukrainian law enforcement agency.
Apparently, Biden is a suspect in three different criminal offenses.
According to the article, “Judging by remarks Biden allowed himself to make in public, Viktor Mykolayovych Shokin has sufficient grounds to believe that it was [Biden] who masterminded and, to a certain extent, perpetrated those criminal offenses to which Shokin alerted the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine,” the lawyer said.”
Even more crazy is that Greek law enforcement sources are looking into the mercury poison of Shokin in 2019 to see if that has a Biden connection.

Again, innocent until proven guilty. But the problem Biden has is that he has publicly bragged on video that he actually did intervene to get Shokin fired, a ready made confession.

3) Biden has always been a human gaffe machine, possibly only outdone by Nancy Pelosi or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez when it comes to saying, stupid, inane, or just plain wrong statements. For example, he confidently stated a number of months ago that he was Vice President when the horrific Parkland School shooting happened in Florida. The sad thing was that he was NOT Vice president when that shooting happened. He more recently said he was arrested in South Africa when he went to see Nelson Mandela even though there is absolutely no record of that ever happening.

And he was recently at it again, completely wrong when it comes to his previous work in government:

He recently told a crowd in South Carolina that he was instrumental in getting a climate deal done with the Chinese Premier.
Unfortunately, the Premier he thought he got the deal done with had passed away 23 years earlier, before the climate deal was signed.
Specifically, “I’m the guy that came back after meeting with Deng Xiaoping and making the case that I believe China would join if we put pressure on them.”
But Biden was Obama’s President from 2009 until 2017 during which the Paris Climate Agreement was developed towards the end of the Obama Presidency/
But Deng who had died over a decade before Obama and Biden took office.
Trump's reelection campaign explained this impossibility: “Joe Biden claimed tonight that he worked with Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping on the Paris Climate Accord. Except the current Chinese President is Xi Jinping. Deng Xiapoing left office in 1992 and has been dead for 23 years,” they mocked.

One really has to question the man's sense of reality when he constantly forgets where he is, who he dealt with, and many other delusions of reality. And he wants to be President of the United States.

4) Let’s stay with Biden and his incoherent ramblings. In a recent dinner with South Carolina Democrats, he made this incoherent assertion: “Where I come from, you don’t get far unless you ask. My name’s Joe Biden. I’m a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate. Look me over. If you like what you see, help out. If not, vote for the other Biden.”

Sadly, he is a Democratic candidate for the Presidency, not a Senate seat. He has been running for President for the past year or so and yet he says he is running for the Senate. Wow.

That will do it for the beginning of this month’s insanity: Biden lives in a world with a different color sky and different reality than the rest of us, he is under investigation for corruption in the Ukraine, and political corruption in Massachusetts. More insanity to follow.

February, 2020, Part 3, Politicians Say The Darndest Things: Michael Bloomberg Special

Every so often we run a series of posts under the theme, “Politicians say the darndest things.” It is a parody of an old television show, “House Party,” where host Art Linkletter would ask simple questions of young kids and wait for their often funny responses. This segment of his show was called “Kids Say The Darndest Things.”

Unfortunately when kids say silly or dumb things, it is funny. When politicians say silly or dumb things, there are usually serious ramifications across the land that often involve stupid laws, wasteful spending, self delusion of a politician’s intelligence or abilities, or a continued lack of faith that today’s politicians are smart enough to get anything right.

So let’s take a look at the latest darndest things that American politicians are saying today:

1) In our last post we started covering some of the darndest and inane things that Presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg has said over the years. All of today’s “politician’s say the darndest things” examples will be dedicated to Bloomberg. Yes, he has said enough stupid things to be the star of today’s post.

Let’s start off with Bloomberg bragging about his daughter but not in a very father-like or kind way. In an off the record meal with some Boston College graduates a few years ago, a discussion that did not stay off the record Bloomberg stated: “My daughter is tall and busty and blonde. We went to China together. What’s a sixteen year old going to do on a business trip? So I got her dates in every city in China. That’s off the record!”

The last sentence was directed at a journalist sitting in on the meal. Classy guy, calling your 16 year daughter busty and then portioning her out halfway around the world. Sad, sad parenting skills.

2) In a recent debate among Democrats for President, Elizabeth Warren had the following quote in a description of Bloomberg: “I’d like to talk about who we’re running against: A billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse faced lesbians, and no, I’m not talking about Donald Trump, I’m talking about Mayor Bloomberg.”

I do not know if her accusations are true and accurate but I have not seen any rebuttal or denial form the Bloomberg campaign so I will assume that he has called women “fat broads” and “horse faced lesbians.” Seems Mr Bloomberg may have a problem with women, from his daughter to others that he has obviously slandered, if what Warren alleges is true.

In some other quotes that Bloomberg has made over the years, as we will see, Warren is probably accurate in her quote as it regards Bloomberg’s interaction with women.

3) When not ticking off women, it seems that Mr. Bloomberg is ticking off total industries. Consider his low regard for the farming industry via words he spoke a few years ago at Oxford: “It’s a process. You dig a hole, put a seed in, put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn.”

Obviously, Bloomberg has never worked on a farm. He has not gotten up at 4:00 in the morning to feed the animals, water and till the fields, and hoped that he had the right mixture of seed, fertilizer and water in order to stay financially viable. He has not worried about what to do when a drought takes hold and adjustments have to be made to farming operations. Such arrogance and condescension on a subject that he obviously knows nothing about.

4) Okay, we have pissed off women and we have pissed off farmers. Not content to stand pat, back in 2011 he pissed off the elderly:

At that time, he declared that it might be a good idea to deny cancer treatment to the elderly in order to free up space in hospitals.
Rather than build more hospitals, improve treatments, or have any compassion for older citizens, he apparently thought it would be a good idea to just let them die, for the betterment of society and all that.
Specifically: “If you show up with prostate cancer and you’re 95 years old, we should say, ‘Go and enjoy … live a long life. There’s no cure, and we can’t do anything. If you’re a young person, we should do something about it. Society’s not ready to do that yet.”
So, as a liberal, Bloomberg is not only willing to kill the unborn , apparently back in 2011 he was willing to let the elderly die when treatment might heal them.
He went on to explain that health care will “bankrupt us” unless we deny care to the elderly.

Sad, sad disregard for others’ lives. I wonder as a mega billionaire if he would be willing to step aside and die for the good of society or would he use his billions of dollars to prolong his life while denying the same right to life as others that couldn't afford the medical treatment he obviously could afford. Would love to hear his answer to that question.

5) Okay, he lent out his sixteen year old daughter, he called women disparaging names, he insulted every farmer in American and would like to see the elderly just die. Quite the track record of insensitivity. But let’s go on, he is on a roll:

A lawsuit has been found that a former regional sales manager of Bloomberg’s company filed against Bloomberg as a result of comments he made back in 1997.
Sekiko Sakai Garrison was the number one regional sales manager in Bloomberg’s company at the time.
She worked for the company from 1989 to 1995 when the company let her go.
She filed the lawsuit in 1997 and the suit was settled in 2000.
When she told Bloomberg she was pregnant, he told her to “kill it,” namely the baby.
And then followed up that disgusting remark with “Great! Number 16,” referring to the 16 pregnant women on his payroll.
On a different occasion, Bloomberg was with Ms. Garrison when he pointed to another woman and stated, “If you looked like that, I would do you in a second.”
The law suit contended that ”Sexual harassment and sexual degradation of women at Bloomberg was pervasive.”
The lawsuit also alleged that he called Mexican clients “jumping beans” and he told another female employee, who was in need of a nanny, “all you need is some black who doesn’t even have to speak English to rescue it from a burning building.”

If Democrats are truly supportive of women rights as they claim, it is hard to see how this person has any place in their world. His words are despicable and disgusting when it comes to women in the workplace. To put him up as their Presidential candidate would be the height of hypocrisy and an insult to every hard working, pregnant woman in the workplace.

Of course, Bloomberg’s political advisors are trying to do damage control on all of this past, disgusting behavior, claiming that he has learned the error of his ways. But it is interesting that he learned the error of his ways once it became apparent his past would work against him politically, that he did not repent prior to running for President.

Enough darndest things from Bloomberg for today. Women, farmers, the elderly, the pregnant, he really has no regard for the feelings of others. His self-centeredness, condescension, and disregard for the feelings and rights of others is overwhelming and despicable. In his case, the darndest things are truly horrific.

February, 2020, Part 2, Politicians Say The Darndest Things: Joe Biden, Maxine Walters and Micheal Bloomberg

Unfortunately when kids say silly or dumb things, it is funny. When politicians say silly or dumb things, there are usually serious ramifications across the land that often involve stupid laws, wasteful spending, self delusion of a politician’s intelligence or abilities, or a continued lack of faith that today’s politicians are smart enough to get anything right.

So let’s take a look at the latest darndest things that American politicians are saying today:

1) Whenever we do these types of posts, Joe Biden figures prominently because of his ability to say the most inane, untrue, and ridiculous things. He recently claimed that long ago he was arrested down in South Africa when he was on his way to visit Nelson Mandela. But as often is the case with Biden, his words do not match up with reality:

This is the first time he has ever mentioned his arrest despite being on the public stage for decades.
And yet he recently claimed: “This day, 30 years ago, Nelson Mandela walked out of prison and entered into discussions about apartheid. I had the great honor of meeting him. I had the great honor of being arrested with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto trying to get to see him on Robbens Island.”
But Biden never mentioned the arrest in his personal memoir published in 2007, an incident that one would think would be important enough to include.
He never mentioned it while Vice President or up until recently on the campaign trail.
The New York Times said that a check of its records from the time period showed no reports that a sitting U.S. Senator, Joe Biden, had been arrested in South Africa, an event that certainly would have been newsworthy.

Politicians say the darndest things and most often they are flat out wrong and/or a lie.

2) Maxine Walters is also a favorite quote and gaffe machine. She has been one of the most virulent haters of Trump since he was elected. She recently made the most ridiculous quote heard in a long time: “This guy [Trump] is a street player. He’s a guy that has conned folks. He has flirted with gangsters. I have worked in some of the toughest communities. I’ve worked with gangs, I’ve worked with Crips, I’ve worked with Bloods. And there’s more integrity in many of these young people in the hood than this man has.”

First of all, to say the President of the United States has less integrity than blood thirsty gang members, gang members that would slit your throat in an instance, is ridiculous beyond belief. Second, if you were to Google “the most corrupt members of Congress,” you would see that most of the articles that would show up in your search would have a picture of Maxine Walters. Those that investigate Congressional corruption would probably agree that she is the poster child for corruption and the lack of integrity.

Thus, for her to call out Trump for lack of integrity when she has spent decades on the most corrupt politicians list is ludicrous.

3) This example will set off a whole string of examples of saying the darndest things as it relates to late entrant into the presidential race, Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg hates Trump and thus, he has decided to use his vast wealth to defeat Trump in November as the Democratic candidate for President. We have already discussed the disgrace of his spending hundreds of millions of dollars on this vanity campaign when that money could have housed and fed millions of needy Americans.

But this waste of money is a topic for other posts. As he has become more active in his run for the Presidency, quotes from his past have begun surfacing, quotes that usually show him as a mean spirited, condescending, out of touch billionaire. He has managed to insult wide swaths of Americans, from women, to farmers to the elderly. Thus, we will start with his darndest things today but it will likely carry over into other subsequent posts since his history of saying the dumbest and darndest things is quite extensive.

Let’s start off with a racist and anti Fourth Amendment statement that Bloomberg made back in 2015 while speaking at the Aspen Institute, as reported by Joseph A. Wulfsohn of Fox News:

Back when Bloomberg was mayor of New York City, he had the police department he continued and supported a program that encouraged police officers to randomly “stop and frisk” anyone they wanted on the streets in the city without probable cause.
This was obviously a gross abuse of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution but nonetheless, Bloomberg encouraged the program.
As a result, most of those that were stopped and harassed by the police were young African American and Latino men.
A newly surface audio tape from 2015 shows he was a full supporter of the program,
Specifically he said that, “The way you get guns out of the kids’ hands is to throw them up against the wall.”
He want on: "Ninety-five percent of murders- murderers and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take a description, Xerox it, and pass it out to all the cops," he said. "They are male, minorities, 16-25. That's true in New York, that's true in virtually every city (inaudible). And that's where the real crime is. You've got to get the guns out of the hands of people that are getting killed."
Up until recently Bloomberg has shown no remorse for the program but now that he is running for President he all of a sudden says he is sorry: “Over time I’ve come to understand something that I’ve long struggled to admit to myself. I got something important wrong. I got something important really wrong.”

Note: news reports indicate that Bloomberg’s people contacted the Aspen Institute and tried unsuccessfully to have his quotes suppressed and buried, indicating that they knew how damaging the quotes were.

A little late for remorse. If Trump was quoted as favoring throwing minority kids against the wall to be frisked without cause, the outrage from the left would be deafening even if he admitted it was wrong. To let Bloomberg off the hook for saying these things, in addition to abusing Fourth Amendment rights of U.S. citizens, would be the height of hypocrisy

So we have Joe Biden likely making up an arrest record that never happened, a ridiculous and hypocritical statement by Miss Corruption herself, Maxine Walters, and the first of many outlandish statements by Presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg. Politicians and rich people do say the darndest things. Unfortunately.

February, 2020, Part 1, Politicians Say The Darndest Things: Joe Biden, Rolanda Hollis, and Peter Buttigieg

Every so often we run a series of posts under the theme, “Politicians say the darndest things.” It is a parody of an old television show, “House Party,” where host Art Linkletter would ask simple questions of young kids and wait for their often funny responses. This segment of his show was called “Kids Say The Darndest Things.”

So let’s take a look at the latest darndest things that American politicians are saying today:

1) Joe Biden has probably been one of the top two politicians to be quoted in this blog for all of the inane, stupid, and off the wall stuff he has said over the years. His only competition is probably Nancy Pelosi for saying the darndest things.

Lately, though, his thoughts and quotes have gone from inane and humorously stupid to a little more evil and darker. A few months ago he called a young woman a liar for asking a reasonable and decent question. And he really got nasty with a young college student when she also asked a reasonable political question.

According to an article on the Freedom Outpost website by Andrew West on February 10, 2020, when a young college co-ed asked him the very reasonable question on how will he rebound from his dismal performance at the Iowa caucuses, he attacked her and her question by calling her “a lying, dog faced pony soldier.” So Many things wrong with this reaction:

Why verbally attack someone who might be a voter in November for asking an intelligent question?
Why call her a liar based on a simple question, not an accusation, not a slur, not a verbal attack, a simple reasonable question?
And finally what does a “a lying dog face pony soldier mean?!?! Makes no sense.

Maybe it is best that Biden just hang up his political spikes. He went from being funny and stupid to mean spirited and irrational. But certainly consistent with our theme of politicians saying the darndest things.

2) Stupid quotes are not restricted to Washington politicians. Alabama State Representative Rolanda Hollis has put together a potential piece of legislation that would mandate that “every Alabama man to undergo a vasectomy within one month of his 50th birthday or the birth of his third biological child, whichever comes first.”

Seriously, this is what is important in the political class in Alabama, keeping track of how many kids a resident has fathered and then making sure one way or another that he is sterilized? Certainly one of the most inane and stupid quotes we have ever come across that has come out of a politician’s mouth. The state/government has no right to forcibly sterilize law abiding citizens, this is a gross violation of the Fourth Amendment. But as always with American politicians, rights and the Constitution often are merely suggestions.

3) Peter Buttigieg is running for President. He thinks it would be a good idea to flood rural American with immigrants to build up the population: “I’m proposing what we call “Community Renewal Visas” that when a community that is very much in need of growing its population, recognizes that, and makes a choice to welcome more than its share of new Americans that we create a fast-track, if they apply for an allotment of visas, that goes to those who are willing to be in those areas that maybe are hurting for population but have great potential.”

Of course, businesses love this proposal. It provides more customers and a larger supply of labor which under simple economic principles will drive down wages and improve businesses’ bottom line. But so many problems with this quote and proposal:

There are reasons why some rural areas are losing population, this quote and proposal does not address the root causes of the population loss, it just plunks down a bunch of foreigners into an area that is losing population.
What types of skills are these immigrants going to have and how will these skills fit in with the current economic situation? A rural area is unlikely to have a lot of high tech jobs so what good is putting hi tech trained immigrants into an area with no high tech jobs?
What would keep these immigrants from going elsewhere once they realize the root causes of the population drop had not been fixed and there were no jobs for them? Are we going to put ankle monitors on them to ensure they stay where they are put?
We have already talked about towns like Lewiston, Maine that Obama had flooded with immigrants and the devastating impact it had on schools and other town services. Teachers had to cope with different languages which ruined the educational processes for all involved, native and immigrants.
Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are going bankrupt, the national debt is growing so fast, public schools under educate, our infrastructure is crumbling, and there are millions of Americans who are homeless, hungry or drug addicted every day and this clown is working on these types of problems, horrible priorities.

Stupid quote, stupid idea. As always, politicians do not have the brain power or the ability to analyze the root causes of problems and then fix the root causes. Some rural communities are losing population for specific reasons. Find out what those reasons are and then decide what, if any, root cause solutions would fix the problem. Dumping a bunch of foreign speaking immigrants into a community makes no sense if you do not address the root causes of the population decrease. Just ask the folks in Lewiston.

It is an election year so we have a whole set of stupid quotes ready to go in the next few posts as politicians just keep talking without thinking. Today, we just got a beginning taste of stupid quotes and politicians saying the darndest things, from Joe Biden’s temper tantrums and attacks to castrating men in Alabama to dumping foreigners into rural communities, politicians say, and do, the darndest things.
