February, 2020, Part 8, Political Class Insanity: Election Corruption in D.C., Peter Buttigieg Does Not Get Reality, and Obama's Final Insult to Injury

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) The corruption of those in Washington D.C. continues unabated according to an article on the Freedom Headlines website: 

• Attorney General William Barr has handed down 8 indictments of Washington operatives.
• The charges are centered around the accusation that these people illegally tried to funnel millions of dollars from foreign sources to top Democrats including Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton, Cory Booker, and other top Democrats.
• According to the article: “Two Lebanese-American businessmen — including a witness in then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe — are among eight people charged with conspiring to funnel more than $3 million in illegal foreign campaign contributions to an unnamed candidate in the 2016 elections, the Justice Department announced on Tuesday. Although the indictment does not specifically name the 2016 candidate, campaign finance records indicate that the recipient of the donations was Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.”
• The indictment includes 53 counts of alleged criminal activity so this was not a little event, given the number of counts and the fact that the alleged activity involved upwards of $3.5 million.
• The counts include such crimes as making illegal conduit contributions, making excessive contributions, making false statements, creating false records, and obstruction of a grand jury.

If the allegations are true, it just verifies again that the political class in this country is corrupt to the core and hypocritical to the max, making laws for us to follow and then assuming those same laws do not apply to themselves.

2) Peter Buttigieg recently made the following accusation regarding Trump's handling of the economy: “The problem is we’ve had an economy grow and not been able to lift up those most in need or even so many in the middle. When I’m president, we’re going to measure the performance of our economy not by the Dow Jones, but by the income growth of the 90 percent.”

Which gets to another age old question when it comes to American politicians: do they actually believe this type of tripe that they dish out or do they think we are too stupid to understand the falsehoods that they are peddling? If the economy is so bad for the non-wealthy why is:

• The African-American unemployment rate at or near a record low?
• The Hispanic unemployment rate at or near a record low?
• The lesser educated unemployment rate at or near a record low?
• The female unemployment rate at or near a record low?
• The number of people receiving and in need of food stamps is down 7 million since Trump took office?
• The rate of rise in wages almost twice as high for those in the lower wage brackets than the highest wage brackets, up 4.5% year over year, more than double the rate of inflation?

Again, is he and his staff that stupid when it comes to reality or is he lying to us and assuming we are too stupid to check reality and the numbers for ourselves to see he is lying? And on top of his lies, he, of course, provides no details on how he would do better than Trump on keeping unemployment low, get wage growth higher, or get more jobs and off of food stamps.

3) I think any rational person knows that Obama was not a big fan of Israel. He once suggested that Israel should go back to its 1967 borders which would be a death sentence for the country. He sent his political operatives to Israel to try and defeat Netanyahu’s bid for reelection since Netanyahu would not kowtow to Obama’s demands. He sent well over a billion in cash to Iran, a country that is the world’s leading terror nation and a nation that has vowed to destroy Israel.

And now we find out that Obama pulled some shady dealings hours before he left office in support of the mortal enemies of Israel, the Palestinians:

• According to a Yahoo News/AP article that I recently came across, Obama sent $221 million to the Palestinians in the waning hours of his Presidency.
• This money had been blocked by Republican members of Congress.
• According to the article: “Congress had initially approved the Palestinian funding in budget years 2015 and 2016, but at least two GOP lawmakers — Ed Royce of California, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Kay Granger of Texas, who sits on the House Appropriations Committee — had placed holds on it over moves the Palestinian Authority had taken to seek membership in international organizations. Congressional holds are generally respected by the executive branch but are not legally binding after funds have been allocated.”
• While the fund were supposed to be used for “humanitarian projects,” I think it is a pretty safe bet, given the history of the Palestinian leadership, that those funds would eventually find themselves to be used for anti-Israel terror activities.
• Do we really think they were going to use $4 million of that money for “for clean energy, sustainable landscapes, cutting greenhouse gas emissions and creating a climate technology center.”?

Millions of Americans are homeless and/or hungry every day and Obama sends $4 million overseas to be used for sustainable landscapes and a climate technology center. Not only a waste of taxpayer money but also a boon for those in the leadership of the Palestinians for their anti-Israel activities. Insanity.

That will do it for today’s insanity: Obama secretly funding shady, anti-Israel players in the Middle East, a Presidential candidate who either does not understand reality or is a big liar, and more Washington D.C. corruption and criminal behavior.
