May, 2017, Part 12, Political Class Insanity: More Sex Perversion In DC, Chelsea Says Something Stupid (Again) And Honoring A Murdering Terrorist In NYC

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) Earlier in this month’s review of political class insanity we reviewed some sexual perversion insanity of some Washington notables, a former Congressman and former Secret Service agent who had been assigned to White House duty. The former Congressman was Anthony Weiner who will likely spent about two years in jail for sexting with a 15 year old girl. The Secret Service agent will likely see upwards of twenty years in jail for multiple sexting episodes with underage girls while on duty.

Unfortunately, we are going to have to go down this road again since according to reporting by NBC News:

• An NBC News report put forth the accusation that Hillary Clinton, while Secretary of State, shut down an internal investigation into a pedophile ring operating right inside the State Department.
• This squashing of the investigation was to protect long time State Department higher ups and a sitting U.S. ambassador.
• As a result, Trump has instructed the Justice Department to step up an investigation to the possibility that this disgusting and repulsive behavior had occurred and to determine what should be done about it.
• Specifically, the NBC News broadcast including the following reporting: ““Allegations of prostitution and pedophilia, and allegations that those crimes were somehow covered up or not looked into. So the State Department this morning is having to respond to those claims, and those investigations involve misconduct by State Department officials, including an Ambassador and security agents attached to then secretary of state, Hillary Clinton. The allegations are that these investigations were whitewashed, quashed altogether, and that those orders came from high up. NBC has obtained documents relating to ongoing investigations into some disturbing allegations involving State Department personnel and at least one ambassador. A State Department memo says, quote, “the Ambassador routinely ditched his protective security detail in order to solicit sexual favors from both prostitutes and minor children. The memo also says a top State Department official directed State Department investigators to “cease the investigation” into the ambassador’s conduct.” It’s just one of what another document describes as “several examples of undue influence” from top State Department officials.”

Another day, another child related sex scandal in Washington. Pathetic and disgusting.

2) Sometimes it is not just politicians who say and do stupid things, often their children get into the stupidity act also. Such was the case when Chelsea Clinton was speaking as part of a forum and tried to make us believe that climate change and child marriages around the world were interconnected, as if climate change causes more children to be married off while they were kids.

Yes, every ill in the world can be blamed on global warming and climate change. Of course, she provided no hard evidence or science that this was actually true, just a grandiose theory that everything hinges on climate change. Of course, Twitter was quick to respond to such idiocy:

• Harrison Bergeron tweeted: Please. Is there anything that ISN'T caused by climate change?
• Gristle McThornbody tweeted:  Oh FFS, now you're just gluing bumper stickers together
• Road SWVA was more specific: What an idiot.

The actual quote right out of mouth can be seen at:

I would tend to agree with SWVA.

3) Let’s finish up today with some really gross political class insanity from the mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio. But first, some background:

• Oscar Lopez Rivera was the leader of a Puerto Rican terrorist gang from the 1970s who advocated for the independence of Puerto Rico.
• His terrorist gang, FALN, carried out over 100 terrorist bombings in this country.
• One of the terrorist attacks hit the famous Manhattan Fraunces Tavern in 1975 that killed four innocent people.
• He was eventually arrested in possession of six pounds of dynamite in his Chicago apartment. He was sentenced to 55 years in prison in 1981 for his terror activities after declaring that “I am an enemy of the United States government.”
• He served about half of his sentence when Obama released him.

You get the idea, this is a very bad, violent and sick individual that was willing to kill innocents to attain his goals.

Which gets us back to de Blasio. Unfortunately, some people think that terrorist Rivera deserves to be featured in the annual Puerto Rican Day parade in New York City on June 11. And Mayor de Blasio is in full support of this atrocity, justifying it as follows: “The organization he was affiliated with did things I don’t agree with, obviously, and they were illegal. I don’t agree with the way he did it. But he did serve his time,” adding that López Rivera “renounced violence.”

Huh? How is this reasoning logical and sane? You disagree with the violence he incited, you disagree with his organization that bombed and killed, you understand that what he did was illegal but you am going to honor him anyway because,hey, he did his time? Insane.

And according to the New York Times which recently conducted an interview of Rivera, he did not actually renounce violence since in that interview he stated that: “We are a colonized people, and according to international law, that says all colonized people have a right to struggle for its independence, using all methods within reach, including force.” Including force, sounds pretty violent to me.

So sad that somehow a politician like de Blasio can get elected to lead a large city like New York and be so insensitive to the family and friends of people that were killed and maimed by this person for a cause that was never an overriding passion of the Puerto Rican community to begin with. And then to think that we are too stupid to see through his faulty logic to justify this atrocity. Insane.

That will do it for this month’s political class insanity, it has been a sad and pathetic look at how poorly our elected officials and government employees conduct themselves and how their interests and greed are only outshined by their idiocy and incompetence. More of the same next month, I am sure of that.
