May, 2017, Part 10, Political Class Insanity: Child Sexting In Washington, Out of Touch at the DNC, and More

It is the beginning of 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.

Today and for all of the insanity posts this month, let’s start off with a welcome piece of honest political dialog. It comes from a State Department spokesperson. Mark Toner, who is about to start the daily State Department press briefing. In a joking matter, he makes the following quote: "Welcome to the State Department. I think we have some interns in the back. Welcome. Good to see you in this exercise in transparency and democracy."

He then burst out laughing at his own quote, indicating he also knew what a joke the Obama administration has been, especially Mr. Toner’s State Department, when it comes to cover ups, lack of transparency, denial of Freedom of Information Act requests, the prosecution of whistleblowers, etc. But at least it was a little refreshing to finally hear some actual honesty out of Washington as we see from the actual clip of the news conference:

With that context of honesty, let’s see what other insanity has been going down:

1)The election of Donald Trump, if anything, proved that much of America is fed up with the antics, incompetence, and idiocy of the current members of the American political class. A recent article on the Patriot News Weekly website confirmed that observation:

• A recent ABC News/Washington Post found that a whopping two thirds of Americans believe that the Democratic Party is out of touch with mainstream Americans today.
• And the reality that the Democrats need to widen their appeal does not seem to have sunk in yet with their leadership and such people as DNC chairman Tom Perez.
• Although almost half of the country is current against the concept of abortion according to Gallup, that half of the country has now been cut off from the Democrats according to a recent Perez statement: “Every Democrat, like every American, should support a woman’s right to make her own choices about her body and her health. That is not negotiable and should not change city by city or state by state.” Bam, half the country possibly lost!

While I admire Perez sticking to his principles, he cannot have it both ways. Either accept the fact that almost half of the country, and a plurality of Americans, are against the concept of abortion, and consider their reasoning and feelings or move on and continue to be a minority party in this country. Sad that a politician cannot accept that maybe he or she is wrong and reexamine their views, very sad and insane.

2) What would a monthly review of political class insanity be without a murder body count from Chicago? As we have discussed many times, the local and state politicians in Illinois have stood idly by without a solution to the every escalating drug gang and drug cartel related violence in Chicago that claims hundreds of lives every year and results in thousands wounded by the gang and gun violence.

Recent body count numbers have not been any better:

• In a recent 15 hour period, there were 17 murders in the city, a record for intensity in a city where the gun and gang violence has been intense for years.
• This murder spree went down despite the fact that Chicago and Illinois have some of the toughest gun laws in the whole country.
• As a sanctuary city, the local politicians have allowed foreign criminal elements and gangs to set up shop knowing that local politicians will not work with the Feds to enforce current immigration laws and have them deported or put in jail, a reality that endangers innocent Chicago citizens every day.
• According to the Chicago Tribune, every death was the result of gang related activities.
• In one innocent according to the Tribune, Sarah Brazzle and her friend were shot simply because they happened upon a carjacking in progress.
• Local authorities confirm that many of central America’s most violent drug cartels have established themselves in Chicago including the Zetas, the MS-15 cartel and others.

The carnage goes on and the local political class has no concept of how to fix the terrible violence.

3) A recent NewsMax May 19, 2017 article highlighted one of the more despicable politicians to recently serve in Congress and how he recently got his just rewards:

• Former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner recently pleading guilty to criminal charges that he had been sexting online with a 15 year old girl.
• Yes, a former member of Congress admitting guilt in sending sexual material to a minor just a few years removed from voting on legislation that affects all of our lives and our families.
• He agreed not to appeal any sentence that ran from 21 to 27 months and he will have to register as a sex offender once he gets out of prison.
• He was found out about his lewd and disgusting behavior when a North Carolina girl reported him, telling authorities that she and Weiner had been exchanging lewd messages for several months and that at one point the former Congressman asked the 15 year old to strip on camera while he watched.
• The investigation and FBI examining his laptop revealed that his laptop contained classified State Department emails that Hillary Clinton had sent to Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, Clinton’s top conifdeant.
• This behavior comes on the heels of information from several years ago that led to his leaving Congress that for years he had beensexting with several women despite being married and a member of Congress.

As we have said many times, our political processes are so broken that a pervert like Anthony Weiner can serve in Congress for many, many years,come into possession of sensitive government documents, and vote on important legislation that affects us all despite totally questionable and disgusting judgement.

4) One more set of perversion and insanity for today. According to Melissa Quinn, writing for the Washington Examiner on May, 18, 2017:

• A Secret Service officer, who was assigned to the White House, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for sexting with minors.
• The agent, Lee Robert Moore, will also have to register as a sex offender and will be on supervised watch for the rest of his life.
• He pleaded guilty to enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity and trying to send lewd materials to a minor.
• Apparently, he sexted with minors while on duty at the White House.
• He was eventually caught via a sting conducted by the Delaware State Police.

At one time Congressional members and Secret Service agents were viewed with respect and awe. They it appears that at least one of them in each organization is a child sex offender, tarnishing the entire organization they both work for. No wonder that two thirds of Americans think the Democrats are out of touch with America, not when this type of behavior of Washington insiders becomes more and more common and politicians do nothing about it.

Such violent and disgusting insanity today, more to follow in the coming days.
