November, 2024, Part 3, Political Class Insanity: Biden Gets Us Closer To World War III, Kamala Gets Her Nails Done For $5,000, and Americans Go Hungry While Biden Finances Hamas

 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)Mostly liberal pundits. politicians, and news media people have been going crazy since Trump got elected, gathering a majority of total votes cast, by accusing Trump voters of being Nazis, garbage, fascists, sexists, racists, low educated, and a myriad of other personal insults to Americans simply exercising their voting and First Amendment rights. 

Most of them do not see the trees for the forest: survey after survey showed that the number one concern of the American voter was the economy: high overall price inflation, higher gas prices, higher food prices, higher energy costs, higher mortgage rates, higher prices for just about everything. And these higher prices have made it harder and harder for the average American to feed and shelter their families. They are not fascists, Nazis, sexists, racists, they are simply people trying to get by.

This reality is ongoing in the food banks around the country:

  • Food banks in all states including the critical swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin are seeing record demand for their services.

  • Rising costs of food and other life necessities are forcing more and more families to seek food support help.

  • Things have gotten so dire that some folks are claiming that the country,, the wealthiest country in the world, is in the midst of a “hunger crisis.”

  • Joe Arthur, who heads up the Central  Pennsylvania Food Bank, claims that his organization has seen a 50% growth in food demand from his outfit since 2021, the year Biden became President: “The need we’re seeing today is as high as it was at the peak of the pandemic.”

  • GFG Good pantry worker in Wisconsin, Rochelle Gamauf, claims she is seeing people looking for food help that had “never visited a food pantry in their life,” blaming the sharp increase in rent and utility bills that is driving many families to seek food assistance.

  • Ken Estelle, who heads Feeding America West Michigan, claims his organization is overwhelmed by demand. “We have never seen this level of need in our 43 years of service.” 

  • According to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, since Biden was installed as President in  January 2021 until September 2024, electricity prices increased roughly 28 percent, grocery prices increased by 21.6 percent, and rent prices increased by roughly 23 percent.

Americans are not Nazis, fascists, sexists or racists, they are having trouble feeding their families and that is why Kamala Harris is not going to be President. It is a shame that liberal politicians, media types and Hollywood actors and actresses do not get it and would prefer to defame rather than try to understand.

2)And while average Americans by the millions are having trouble feeding their families and coping with other inflation pressures in their lives, consider what Kamala Harris has been doing over the past few months:

  • In our last post, we discussed the obscenity of how she had spent about a billion dollars in three months on her campaign and still lost.

  • We calculated that, theoretically, those one billion dollars could have fed every homeless American three meals a day for six months.

  • And not only did she spend a billion dollars in a very short time, her campaign overspent her resources by $20 million.

  • And it now appears that $5,000 of that billion dollars was wasted by her in the most disgusting way possible.

  • According to the Daily Mail, which went through the Harris campaign financial filings, Harris spent $5,000 to have fingernail  artist, Tahvya Krok, give herself a fingernail manicure.

  • Let me say that again: Harris spent $5,000 of her campaign donations to get a manicure, an expenditure that I would bet her campaign donors did not have in mind when they wrote their check for her campaign.

  • According to the Daily Mail report, that $5,000 could have paid the food bill for a typical American family for five months.

Let’s review: Trump voters are not sexist, Nazis etc. because they are having trouble feeding their families while Harris is spending $5,000 to a fingernail  artist to look pretty. A despicable disconnect of reality and vanities between average Americans and the political  elite.

3)Not only have Biden’s immigration and economic policies been total  failures, but he has no foreign affairs or diplomatic accomplishments to  brag about either. And one of his biggest failures has been in the Ukraine/Russia war:

  • To my knowledge he has not met with or even had a conversation with Putin to try and put an end to the war and its suffering and deaths.

  • To my knowledge, his failure of a Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has met with his equivalent, the Russian foreign minister, a total of one time since the war began.

  • He has sent about $200 billion dollars of taxpayer wealth to the Ukranians to help fight the war, an endless stream of dollars with no end in sight, given his failed or lack of diplomacy on this issue.

And his latest idiocy probably puts us closer to World War III than at any time in history:

  • He recently announced that he has authorized Ukraine to use U.S. supplied,  long range missiles to be fired even deeper into Russia.

  • Up until now, he had required that restrictions be placed on how deeply these missiles could be fired into Russia.

  • This change in authorization could mean that more Russian civilians will be killed by the U.S.  made missiles.

  • Supposedly this is to counter the reality that thousands of North Korean troops are on the way to fight the Ukranians.

What a mess. Biden’s failure at diplomacy has brought more and more nations into the conflict and let’s be clear: firing U.S. missiles deeper into Russia could and likely will force Putin to save face and retaliate and before you know it we are in a death spiral towards war.

Oh, on a side note: the United Nations continues to be nowhere to be found years after the war started, proving again how impotent and useless the organization is when it comes to world peace.

4)Over the years, the U.S., the  U.N. and other countries have sent untold billions and billions of dollars in aid to the Gaza Strip and its rulers, the terrorist group, Hamas. Those dollars and aid could probably have been used to create a modern society of infrastructure, schools, hospitals, and other needs to serve the people of Gaza.

Instead, the terrorist leaders of Gaza have diverted billions of dollars into underground, military tunnels and fortifications, purchased billions of dollars of weapons and ammunition, and spent billions of dollars training its citizens, all with the intention of wiping Israel  off of the map. Meanwhile, most of their citizens live in poverty and fear.

Nevertheless, even  given this history of squandering aid for war:

  • The U.S. Agency for International Development has recently announced it is giving another $230 million to the Palestinians.

  • The agency announced the money is going to “relieve the suffering of Palestinians and be used to support economic recovery development programs in the West Bank and Gaza.”

  • But like every other adi package, you can bet that a huge chunk of that $230 million will be funneled into future terrorism actions.

  • This $230 million is in addition to the $190 million that Hamas got earlier in the year.

  • Michael Doran, a senior fellow and director at the Hudson Institute’s Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East gets it: “A significant chunk of this money, indirectly if not directly, funds Hamas.”

  • Since October 7, 2023, the day that Hamas launched a horrific attack on Israeli civilians, killing 1,200 and kidnapping hundreds more, the aid agency has given Hamas over $2 billion.

  •  Amy Tohill-Stull, the West Bank and Gaza mission director at USAID claims that:  “This funding demonstrates our resolve to support sustainable development and provide essential services that enhance the quality of life for all Palestinians and further reduce the influence of Hamas.”


Thus, while Ms. Tohill-Stull is sending taxpayer wealth over to terror infested organizations in the Middle East to “enhance the quality of life for all Palestinians:”


  • 600,000 Americans are currently homeless.

  • Millions of American families are having challenges in feeding their families, gasing up their cares, and paying their utility bills as Biden’s inflationary policies drive up prices across the board.

  • Well over 100,000 Americans will die of drug overdoses this year because they could not get the drug addiction help they needed.

  • Over 20 million Americans are short changing their families from a healthcare perspective since they cannot afford health insurance.

  • Thousands of American families suffered significant losses as a result of the two most recent hurricanes.


But she brags about how much  money she can  send halfway around the world, much of which will be diverted into terrorism activities. Nice priorities.


That will do it for today: More American taxpayer dollars for terrorists while Americans go hungry, Biden gets us closer and closer to World  War III, and Kamala gets her nails done for $5,000.

November, 2024, Part 2, Political Class Insanity: FEMA Hates Trump Fans, Kamala Spends Big and Loses Big, Hochul Hates Half of Her Citizens and More

 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)One would hope that government bureaucrats would treat every American taxpayer the same, providing top notch services in their area of expertise. Unfortunately, when talking about the Federal government, fairness is not always the way he government and its employees operator:


  • As we all know, several states in the southeast portion of the country, Florida, Georgia, and  North Carolina suffered from two very strong hurricanes in the past month or so.

  • As a result, the Federal government’s FEMA organization was sent to these states to help those that had lost their homes, their possessions, and in some cases, their lives, as a result of the violence from the hurricanes.

  • Initially, it appeared that a local FEMA supervisor on the effort, ordered her staff not to visit any hurricane damaged home that had a “Trump For President” sign or flag displayed on their property.

  • Obviously, this is an obnoxious abuse of taxpayer wealth, government employees treating American citizens differently simply based on their political preferences.

  • FEMA upper management went into damage control  mode when word got out about this local supervisor’s actions and quite quickly fired her and apologized.

  • But the story gets better since the fired supervisor, Marn’i Washignton, did not go quietly into the night.

  • She went public and accused her immediate and upper management of FEMA of installing this policy not just in her region of Florida but in other areas both in Florida and other states.

  • The actual directive found within FEMA’s communications, the actual Trump fan skipping order was “Trump sign, no contact per leadership.”


Pretty disgusting government action, regardless if it was a single rogue local  supervisor or the order was coming from higher ups in FEMA management. Imagine you were an average American citizen and taxpayer whose life was just turned upside down from a hurricane, a citizen who just so happened to support Trump: the Federal entity responsible for helping victims of natural disasters, skips your house and situation because they do  not like the political sign or flag on your property. Another government fail, just one of many that occur everyday.

 

2)We have never had a high opinion of the vast majority of people in the American political class. They have denigrated our political processes into a very expensive waste of political campaign spending, an obscene amount of money being spent to get into  elected office.  And apparently Kamala Harris has taken this wasteful spending facet to epic heights:


  • Her campaign spent an  amazing $1,000,000,000 in three short months from the time she became the party’s candidate until election day.

  • Not only did she spend $1 billion but she overran her budget by about $20 million and owes that amount to any number of vendors and businesses.

  • She paid Oprah Winfrey’s company, Harpo Productions, an astounding $1 million for setting up a songle town hall meeting between Oprah and Kamala.

  • Oprah has claimed that she did not receive a single penny from the Harris campaign but still, her production company got $1 million for setting up one meeting, a ridiculous amount of money for such a task.

  • The campaign also paid out millions of dollars for liberal minded musicians to hold get out the vote concerts, investments that obviously did not work since Harris got slammed on  election day.


Obviously this is not my money and she and her campaign managers can spend their campaign donations anyway they want. The bigger picture is how money infested our politics have become: one billion dollars spent in three months for a losing cause. 


Just as an aside: 


  • Those one billion dollars could have been used for about 340,000,000 meals for homeless Americans.

  • There are about 600,000 homeless Americans in the country today.

  • Those 340,000,000 meals could have provided about 560 meals for each homeless American,

  • Thus, those one billion dollars could have theoretically fed every homeless American three meals a day for six months.


That is how screwed up the political class priorities are today.


3)We have often discussed the horror that has happened as a result of Biden’s failed immigration policies, failed policies that  have resulted in criminal, gang, and drug cartel people flooding into the country  over the southern border. This flood has resulted in violent actions of murder, rape and robberies being perpetrated against innocent Americans.


But apparently, the horror of his failed immigration policies are not confined to the southern border;


  • Border Patrol Agent in Vermont, Erik Lavallee, recently told reporters that human smuggling of illegal immigrants along the northern border is still rampant and steady.

  • While 7,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended at the northern border in 2023, over 19,000 were apprehended in fiscal 2024.

  • Lavallee told CBS news: "We have multiple identified transnational criminal organizations that are transporting people away from the border." 

  • He cited a specific example where Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, a terrorist Pakistani living in Canada, had reached out to a smuggling organization to smuggle him into our country, an effort that fortunately resulted in his arrest.

  • He is one of over 300 suspected terrorists on the terrorism watch list that were arrested at the northern border in 2024.

  • The obvious question is if over 300 suspected terrorists were arrested at the northern border, how many suspected terrorists actually made it into the country?

  • Other illegal  immigration problems at the northern border include the smuggling of weapons, flora and fauna, and gang members into the country.


Thus, Biden’s  failed border security failures are not confined to the southern border.

4)Every American is entitled to their opinion on every subject under the sun including their political leanings and affiliations. This has made the country home to the freest citizens in the history of humanity. But apparently this principle of freedom has not gotten through to the New York Governor Kathy Hochul:


  • Hochul, speaking on an MSNBC show, said that voting for Republicans, especially in her home state of New York, is un-American.

  • Specifically: “It gave me a chance to tie the Republicans running in these seats, the incumbents, closer to Donald Trump, remind everybody, if you’re voting for these Republicans in New York, you are voting for someone who supports Donald Trump and you’re anti-woman, you’re anti-abortion, and basically you’re anti-American.”


A pretty disgusting summation of half  of the citizens living in her state. Disagree with my views, then you are un-American. Disagree with me then you are anti-woman. She is supposed to represent ALL of the citizens in her state, regardless of their political leanings. 


She should be a model of hope and fairness, trying to unite her citizens so that solutions can be found to resolve the issues facing her constituents. Instead, she demeans, debases, and insults her citizens. Such a hateful person to be in such a powerful position, her attitude will not help resolve any problems in the state and eventually will result in citizens leaving for places where they can freely express their opinions without being called un-American or anti-woman.


That will do it for today: a  politician who hates half of her citizens, Biden’s immigration policy failures not limited to the southern border, Harris spends big but still loses big, and FEMA discriminates against American taxpayers based solely on their political views.
