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)Most liberal politicians like to claim that they are all for the environment AND wanting to stop climate change. One way to stop climate change, according to them, is to move the country to renewable energy sources and off of fossil fuel based products. They are certainly entitled to their opinion.
However, when their hypocrisy gets in the way of their principles, it is time to call out their stupidity:
The Michigan Department of Natural resources (DNR) has come up with a plan to blanket about 420 acres in the state with solar panels so that liberal politicians can get their wish to move to renewable solar energy.
But where their reasoning falls apart is the over 400 acres of land that they want to put the solar panels on is a heavily wooded area, state forestland in Otsego County.
Which means that probably thousands of trees will be cut down to make room for the solar panel farm.
You cannot be truly a lover of the environment if you want to deforest 420 acres in the name of climate change.
Trees are critical to changing carbon dioxide in the air into oxygen, the exact thing that liberal politicians love to say they want to do.
Rather than find ways to build the solar farm over highways, parking lots, etc., letting 420 acres of trees stay intact but the solar panels still get installed, some politicians and/or government bureaucrats thought it would be a great idea to destroy 420 acres of forested woodland for a solar farm. Idiocy.
2)Speaking of liberal politicians’ hypocrisy, let’s take a visit to the governor of New York, Kathy Hochul:
While she seems intent on dragging her state into the climate change morass with some of her inane ideas on climate change, apparently her hypocrisy hits closer to home on the matter.
It has come to light that personally she does not seem to worry about her own carbon footprint, given that she freely uses private jets to get around when commercial, and more climate change friendly, public flights are available.
News reports point out that her use of private jets vs. flying commercial has cost over $415,000, a cost that was paid for by her campaign committee.
And while taxpayers did not get stuck with her jet setting around, it is a stark hypocrisy for someone who wants to attack so-called climate change and yet flaunts her personal behaviors that is contrary to the whole goal of climate change alarmists, to reduce the use of fossil fuels.
And it is not just a handful of private jet rides she has taken since becoming governor, the estimate is that she has taken at least 30 private jet flights since 2021.
None of these flights cost less than $5,000 and one cost a whopping $38,594.
Sources quoted in news reports in the industry claim that there is absolutely no reason she could not have taken more environmentally friendly commercial flights instead of these private jet flights.
A Twitter/X user summed up the hypocrisy quite nicely: “The planet is on fire! Now do as I say, not as I do!”
Why should New York residents take her seriously on the climate change initiatives she wants to implement, initiatives that will raise the cost of living in the state, when she does not set a good example?
3)It is no secret that crime has increased significantly during the Biden Presidency, a lot of which has been driven by unsavory and criminal characters he has allowed to enter the country over the past four years in a flood of illegal immigrants. Far too often we have discussed the reality that many Americans have been killed, raped, and robbed at the hands of the criminal elements within the flood of illegal immigrants.
We have often pointed out that a very, very basic function of a government entity is to protect the lives and property of the citizens they are supposed to be serving. Given these two realities, it is amazing how over 150 Democrats in the Hosue of Representative recently against a logical and needed piece of legislation to protect Americans from rapes and sexual assaults:
Over 150 Democrats in the House voted AGAINST a piece of proposed legislation that would deport illegal immigrants convicted of a sexual offense or conspiracy to commit such a heinous crime.
This proposed legislation was introduced last year by Congresswoman Nancy Mace and was called the “Violence Against Women By Illegal Aliens Act.”
In addition, illegal immigrants who admit to domestic violence or sex-related charges,, or have been previously convicted of them, would not be allowed to enter the country.
Congresswoman Mace told news reporters before the vote that she expected every member of the House to vote for this common sense piece of legislation to protect women: “If you vote against it [the proposed legislation}, you’re sexist against women. I mean, truly, because we're talking about illegals who are here who are committing domestic violence, rape and murder on women and children – they’ve gotta go. They shouldn't be allowed into our country."
And yet 158 Democrats voted against protecting women and girls in this country by voting against, with some of them calling the bill xenophobia.
An opponent of the bill, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal had this nonsense to say about protecting women: "Here we are again, debating another partisan bill that fear mongers about immigrants, instead of working together to fix the immigration system.”
No Ms. Jayapal, this is not fear mongering about all illegal immigrants. It is a common sense piece of legislation against those that sexually assault other women, it is not racist, xenophobic, or anything like that. This bill would have provided additional support to punish those that prey on women and girls. And yet, you and 157 other Democrats could not get past your obsession with protecting illegal immigrants at the expense of the safety of American citizens, no matter how violent and how awful some illegal immigrant deviants can be.
You and your comrades failed the basic tenet of government, protecting the lives and property of the citizens you are supposed to be serving.
Enough political class insanity for today: political hypocrisy from Michigan to New York to Washington, all at the expense, and sometimes the lives, of American citizens.
