December, 2018, Part 5,Political Class Insanity: The New Abuser Of Government Power (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) and The Veteran Abuser (Hillary Clinton)

It is 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 spent the past month or so featuring the inane, out of touch, and plain ignorant comments of newly elected Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It is very discouraging and scary that a person that is so out of touch with reality will actually vote on legislation that affects us all. 

But she has taken a very dangerous step, a step that is a first step toward out of control politicians abusing government power to attack its citizens for simply having an opinion, a dangerous abuse of the First Amendment and tyranny. According to a recent report on the Daily Wire website:

• Apparently Donald Trump Jr. put a harmless meme on line that was derogatory towards her Instagram account.
• She responded via Twitter in what can only be considered a severe and dangerous abuse of power: "I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up. Please, keep it coming Jr - it’s definitely a “very, very large brain” idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month "Have fun!"”
• In other words, “you make fun of me and I will bring the entire weight of the Federal government and Congress down on your head for insulting me.”
• This coming from someone who is a proven gaffe machine and who is not even a member of Congress yet, imagine how power hungry she will get when she actually is a member of Congress.
• Fortunately, other Americans jumped on her butt, recognizing what a bad abuse of power she had invoked.
• Sean Davis of The Federalist:"It's worth noting that the official House Ethics Manual explicitly prohibits the kind of threat that @Ocasio2018 just issued against @DonaldJTrumpJr for his refusal to support her political agenda:"

• Ben Shapiro on Twitter: “So, um, if he trolls you on media, then you're going to use the power of the government to come after him? That's not fascist or anything.”
• Derek on Twitter: “So you stalk @DonaldJTrumpJr on Twitter and are now threatening to abuse Congressional subpoena power for a personal vendetta if he continues to point out the stupid things you say? How very progressive.”
• Art Tavana on Twitter: “"The new gestapo will come to us in the form of internet trolls led by a telegenic populist from one of the five boroughs." - Nostradamus
• German Lopez on Twitter: “Imagine if Trump threatened a private citizen with his official powers because the person trolled him on Twitter. "
• Joe Walsh on Twitter: “My dislike for Jr is well-documented, but threatening a private citizen with a Congressional subpoena because he made a meme you don't like is one hell of a hot take.”
• Brandon Morse on Twitter: “Sorry, did this fool just threaten to use the power of government to punish a citizen because he posted a meme?”
• Kimberly Guifoyle on Twitter: “Did you just threaten to subpoena someone for criticizing you? As a lawyer and former prosecutor I find this deeply troubling.”
• John Cardillo on Twitter: “.@Ocasio2018, you come off as ignorant and uninformed. Going to threaten all of with illegal retaliatory subpoenas because you’re too thin skinned to take that kind of criticism? You are proving that you are far too emotional and immature to hold this seat.”

Despite her tyranny, at least there are a goodly number of Americans that recognize tyranny, abuse of power and a form of fascism to call it out and decry the concept of a thin skinned government official using government power to handle her personal immaturity.

2) It has always been my opinion that Hillary Clinton should be in jail for any number of transgressions, from using a private email server for government actions, violating any number of laws and government regulations, to illegally using the Clinton Foundation to enrich herself and her family at the expense of government policies and assets.

But according to the Conservative Daily Post website, justice may finally be closing in on her transgressions:

• Judge Royce Lambert recently lambasted the State Departments and Justice Department under Obama for “falling short” and “making things worse” when it came to investigating Clinton when she was Secretary of State.
• As a result, he ordered the email abuse investigation reopened.
• Specifically, because of the Freedom of Information Act, he ordered the government reopen the investigation because previously the investigation tried “to deliberately evade public records laws, and to answer whether the agencies acted in bad faith by not telling a court for months that they had asked in mid-2014 for missing emails to be returned.”
• The judge’s other comments included, “faced with one of the gravest modern offenses to government openness, [the Obama administration’s] State and Justice departments fell far short,” “the current Justice Department made things worse,” and the behavior “smacks of outrageous misconduct.”
• And finally, the judge concluded that the government under Obama had acted with “negligence born of incompetence,” and “At worst, career employees in the State and Justice departments colluded to scuttle public scrutiny of Clinton, skirt FOIA, and hoodwink this court.”

Finally, someone in a position of responsibility who actually sees that the truth has been suppressed by the corruption of the Obama administration and career politicians and government bureaucrats.

A tale of two corrupt politicians: a newby one who is already abusing government power and another who has been abusing it for years. More insanity to follow.
