March,2018, Part 4, Political Class Insanity: More Political Corruption, FBI Incompetence, and Rampant Illegal Immigrant Criminals In California

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.

Let's get started:

1) We have often talked about how the political class use their influence to enrich themselves and their family and friends. We recently discussed how out of office politicians use the leftover campaign money to line the pockets of friends and family for sometimes years after they left office. Maxine Walters used her Congressional position and power to lobby the Federal government to bailout her husband’s failing bank that he mismanaged into the Great Recession. John Keery steered Federal government taxpayer money to his daughter’s business by bypassing the whole competitive bidding process.

And we now find out that Joe Biden was no different, helping his son get an unfair advantage and get wealthy by abusing his dad’s position as Vice President:

• According to a new book by Government Accountability president Peter Schweizer, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, was able to land a billion deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank Of China less than two weeks after Joe Biden allowed his son to travel to China with him in 2013.
• Hunter Biden operates a private equity firm, Rosemont Seneca Bohai.
• Ten days after Hunter Biden went to China aboard the Vice President’s Air Force 2 jet, likely at taxpayer expense, his firm signed an exclusive $1 billion deal with the Bank of China subsidiary, Bohai Capital.
• The deal was later increased to $1.5 billion.

Makes doing business in China a lot easier when your daddy, the Vice President of the United States flies you over and makes the introductions, a perk not available to over 300 million other Americans.

2) The Secret Service used to be a highly respected, almost mythical government service that was given the most important job in the world: protecting the President. But over the past years we have shown how inept they had become or how inept they were finally shown to be. The allowed White House windows to be shot out by a passing gunman. A fence jumper actually got deep into the White House before being brought down. The advance agents for an Obama trip to South America were caught cavorting with hookers, a scenario that may have been financed with drug cartel money. A sad, deep fall for a once respected agency.

But another once highly respected government agency, the FBI, may have fallen further and faster than the Secret Service. Consider the incompetence of this government agency that was documented by the Conservative Zone website:

• The FBI had an incredible amount of warnings that nut case Nikolas Cruz was going to shoot up a Florida school, which he eventually did and killed 17 people in the process. They were told that Cruz had posted a Facebook post where he claimed he would be a “professional school shooter.” The FBI feebly claimed they could not find the poster or source of this statement even though his Facebook username was, wait for it, Nikolas Cruz. Other people had told the FBI that he had weapons and had threatened many times to use them. 
• The FBI had actually known about and had interviewed the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooter, Omar Mateen, but decided that he was not a threat which, unfortunately, turned out not to be the case.
• Back in 2009, the FBI knew that Fort Hood shooter, Army Major Nidal Hasan, had actually been communicating with one of the most horrific terrorists in the world, Anwar al-Awlaki, a known al Qaeda terrorist leader and a terrorist that Obama had assassinated. But they did nothing and Hasan went on to kill 13 and wound dozens. A Congressional investigation found that the massacre could easily have been prevented if FBI agents had just done their job.
• Back in 2013, the FBI had been alerted that one of the Boston Marathon bombers had been in touch with dangerous Islamic terrorists, information that had been passed to the FBI by Russian intelligence services. An FBI agent incorrectly concluded that the brother had “no link” or “nexus to terrorism.” The FBI admitted that they screwed up when the brother visited terror hotbed Dagestan before he and his brother executed the bombings.
• The mishandling of the whole Clinton illegal and unsecured computer server, the mishandling of secret Clinton government documents (with hundreds of them ending up on an unsecured laptop computer of the convicted sex fiend, former Congressman Anthony Weiner), the unethical and possibly illegal airport tarmac meeting of Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton and a whole raft of other 2016 election cycle screwups was the cherry on top of the pile of incompetence the FBI has turned into over the past dozen years or so.

And as a result of this ineptness, billions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted, dozens of Americans have been killed and wounded, and what was once an effective and efficient law enforcement entity is nothing more than an expensive Keystone Kops joke.

3) Enforcement of existing immigration laws was basically a joke during the eight years of the Obama administration. That notion was recently reinforced when a immigration raid in southern California turned up some interesting facts:

• The Federal immigration officials arrested 115 illegal immigrants in their enforcement operation in Imperial and San Diego counties.
• 50 of those arrested, almost half, had previous criminal convictions, not arrests, convictions, and seven others had illegally re-entered the country after being deported.
• One of those arrested was a member of the Center Street Locos criminal gang and who had been convicted for grand theft, selling controlled substances, and drunk driving and yet was still in this country illegally and on the streets.
• Another of those arrested had been convicted of spousal abuse, inflicting injury, and threatening to terrorize and who had actually been deported to Mexico TEN different times!
• And somehow Democrats, especially in California, still think it is a great idea to not deport, arrest, or prosecute illegal immigrants who just happen to be violent criminal types like spouse abusers, drunk driving, grand theft, selling drugs, etc. 

That will do it for today. Illegal immigrants run rampant in southern California, the FBI is now a failed and pathetic law enforcement agency, and the corruption and greed of the political class extends to China via Air Force 2. More to follow.
