September,2019, Part 1, Political Class Insanity: Illegals Still More Important Than American Citizens, We Still Hate Our Politicians, and An Out Of Control, Nonsensical Congresswoman

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) It is no secret that Americans do not like their politicians. Gallup and other reputable polling organizations have reported on this high level of disgust for years. And the latest sentiment has not changed: 
  • A recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that 70% of those polled are angry.
  • And they are angry “because our political system seems to only be working for the insiders with money and power, like those on Wall Street or in Washington.”
  • This level of anger has not changed since the same poll asked the same question back in 2015 so even as the economy has improved, the anger level has not subsided: “Four years ago, we uncovered a deep and boiling anger across the country engulfing our political system,” said Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt, whose firm conducted this survey along with the Republican firm Public Opinion Strategies. “Four years later, with a very different political leader in place, that anger remains at the same level.”
  • And despite a great and improved economy, 56% of Americans are “anxious and uncertain because the economy still feels rocky and unpredictable.”
So it does not matter what party the President comes from, it does not matter what party controls Congress, we despise them all. Which means that term limits were never more needed to get rid of the current political class types that 70% of us think very little of.

2) We have previously made the point that liberals and Democrats in Washington, and elsewhere, care more about illegal immigrants than American citizens. These folks get all upset because of the conditions that illegal immigrants are being detained in, even though they get free medical care, free food, and free shelter, despite breaking our laws. But you see none of that same kind of compassion for the millions of Americans who are homeless, hungry, and sick.

This theory and reality was proven again in Seattle:
  • The King County sheriff’s department out by Seattle recently decided against using the Law Enforcement Information Exchange database.
  • This database helps law enforcement and the Federal government track down illegal immigrant CRIMINALS.
  • Thus, illegal immigrant CRIMINALS now have more rights than the potential and real victims of these CRIMINALS’ crimes.
  • From Conservative Review: “The Law Enforcement Information Exchange (LInX) is a database of crime incident reporting used by over 2,000 local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to share information about criminal events in a given area of operations. It is designed and operated by the U.S. Navy. LInX is very useful to detectives seeking to find fugitives or crack a case because they can draw upon arrest information put on the system by other law enforcement agencies. For example, if one agency is looking for a fugitive sex offender and he is pulled over for a traffic stop by another police department, LInX would be one of the first ways the detective would discover the criminal he is looking for. Well, the system is effective enough in catching fugitives that King County, Washington, law enforcement feared that continued use of the system would violate the county’s ordinance of not sharing any information on immigration status with ICE. So they are concerned about violating a local ordinance, but evidently have no concern about violating federal law."
Thus, not only is this sheriff’s department protecting criminals in its own district, it is potentially allowing criminals committing crimes outside of its county to get away with crimes by denying important information to other law enforcement agencies. Again, the purpose should be to protect citizens and capture criminals regardless of their citizenship status. Isn’t that more important than protecting these illegal immigrant criminals and preventing them for paying for their crimes?

3) Newbie Congresswoman Ihan Omar has been quite the spectacle since winning a seat in Congress. Besides hating Israel, she has not shown a lot of love to the United States, an absence of love that we will save for another day. 

But she recently showed her hate when demanded that the United States allow the United Nations to handle the border crisis on the U.S./Mexico border. In other words, she wants the country to abdicate control of its border to an international body that has proven itself to as inept and incompetent over the decades as the political class in Washington.

Specifically: “We should do what any other country does by dealing with this situation in a serious way. So, we have to bring in the United Nations high commissioner on refugees, an agency that has the expertise and the training to handle massive flows of refugees humanely.” 

Really, Congresswoman, the United Nations has handled refugee crises humanely? Not sure that worked when Syria collapsed. Not sure when tribal warfare broke out in Africa. The United Nations does nothing humanely or efficiently and to even think that giving up our border control is a good thing is insane. 

Plus, millions of Americans served in our armed forces over the years, and untold thousands died or were hurt, to protect our borders, our country, and our way of life. To think that a Congresswoman with less than two years Congressional experience has any clue what to do on the border is ludicrous, as her suggestion proves.

4) But Omar was not done in her remarks on the border. She also said, without providing any proof, that the Federal government was arresting and deporting illegal immigrants because they were poor. Again, much like her friend and cohort Ocasio-Cortez, she spews this garbage without providing any proof and expects anyone within ear range to believe her. 

No, Congresswoman, these people are being arrested and deported because they broke the law, not because they are poor. If a doctor, a lawyer, or foreign millionaire walked across the border and broke our laws they would be deported also. They are being deported because they broke the law, how hard is it for you and others like you to comprehend that simple principle?

5) Looks like Omar has provided the most insanity for use to kick off this month’s political class insanity theme. Consider this craziness and possible law breaking by Omar:
  • During her talks on relinquishing border control to the United Nations she talked about taking the “high moral ground.
  • But she might not have the “high moral ground” in either her personal life or in her campaign finance handling.
  • A recent divorce filing claims that Omar was having an adulterous affair with her political strategist during her campaign for Congress.
  • This strategist, Tim Maynatt, had divorce papers served on him by his wife which made the accusations of adultery between him and Omar.
  • If true, not a whole lot of “high moral ground” on Omar’s part in this tryst.
  • But possibly even worse news, it seems that one out of every three dollars Omar’s campaign spent somehow made its way to Mynatt’s consulting company and included in these big payments were tens of thousands of “travel” expenses unrelated to Omar’s campaign.
  • According to the Daily Caller: “Federal Election Commission (FEC) records reveal the Omar campaign began making travel reimbursements to Tim Mynett’s company, E. Street Group, LLC, on April 1, about a week before Dr. Beth Jordan Mynett said her husband admitted to having an affair with the congresswoman, according to a divorce filing the New York Post first reported on. Omar’s campaign funded $21,547 in travel for E. Street Group starting in April, FEC records show. Tim Mynett is a partner with the company, according to his LinkedIn profile. Beth Mynett, the wife filing for divorce, said in her court filing that Tim Mynett’s “extensive travel” with Omar is likely unrelated to his work with E. Street Group.”
  • This could be a violation of Federal campaign laws, i.e. it is not kosher to use campaign funds to fly your adulterer lover around the country.
If true, then this “high moral ground” Congressional member is an adulterer and abuser of campaign funds. Makes it hard to take anything she says seriously, given this hypocrisy, especially when it is as stupid as letting the United Nations control our borders.

A good first start on this month’s political class insanity: an out of control Congresswoman, prioritizing illegal immigrant criminals over protecting American citizens, and Americans are not happy with Washington politicians. More insanity to follow.
