To review past posts on this insanity and idiocy, just click on the first few posts in each month listed to the right of this page. After reviewing just a handful of these insanity posts we think you will agree that we are currently being served by the worst set of American politicians ever to hold office in our entire history.
1) We have often and recently pointed out how Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York state, and Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York City, are probably/definitely among the worst governors and mayors in the country. Both have badly mishandled the coronavirus crisis, resulting in unnecessary deaths and infections in the state and city.
They have financially mismanaged their respective budgets, so much so that both are in the running to become the first state and largest U.S. city to go bankrupt. Residents of NYC and New York state are moving out of both areas at an ever accelerating rate to avoid the high crime and higher taxes. De Blasio has so mismanaged his relationship with the police and other city institutions that city crime and murders are ramping up steadily.
Well, it seems that some New Yorkers have had enough. In an action that a little while ago would have been unimaginable, they boldly put forth their opinions of both men:
- At a recent Brooklyn block party, the party goers knocked off a Black Lives mural that had been painted on a Manhattan street, with the support and protection of de Blasio.
- In big, bold yellow letters, the block party attendees painted “F**k Cuomo and de Blasio” on a Brooklyn street.
- According to the New York Post: “A few party goers got the idea to paint in huge [letters, using] yellow paint with rollers on North 15th, ‘F–k Cuomo and de Blasio,’” an unidentified attendee said Sunday.”
- In addition,“The party continued. Everyone took photos. It was a big hit. The crowds cheered, even the cops chuckled.”
- The style was a knock off of the Black Lives Matter street paintings that have cropped up over the summer during the protests.
2) Jeffrey Epstein was one very rich and very sick human being. As most people probably know by now, his wealth allowed him to own several very expensive living spaces including a whole island down in the Virgin Islands. And it is pretty well understood that Epstein used his properties and wealth to sexually exploit underage girls and shared this sick obsession with a lot of famous men.
The list of accused accomplices to the abuse of underage girls includes such famous people as Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, former U.S. senators and famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz. And that list could get a lot longer very shortly:
- The Virgin Islands attorney general has just ratcheted up the stakes in this sordid affair.
- The attorney general, Denise George, has filed a lawsuit against the Epstein estate.
- The lawsuit alleges that there were 22 counts of human trafficking, aggravated rape, child abuse, neglect, forced labor and prostitution.
- She has subpoenaed for the flight logs to get the names of people that traveled to Epstein’s Virgin Island home on Epstein’s jets along with what dates they visited the island.
- She wants over twenty years worth of visitor logs.
3) And why we were surprised to see, for the first time ever, such disrespect for a mayor and governor up in New York portrayed graphically on a Brooklyn street, we are just as surprised to see something for the first time ever also regarding three American cities:
- According to reporting by The Hill, the Justice Department has designated Seattle, Portland, and New York City as “permitting anarchy.”
- This “permitting anarchy” designation was created by a Trump memorandum order recently signed.
- As a result of the order and these three cities getting designated, Federal agencies are now required to submit potential Federal budget funding cuts for those cities for their inaction regarding the violence and anarchy they allowed their cities to endure.
- According to Attorney General William Barr: “When state and local leaders impede their own law enforcement officers and agencies from doing their jobs, it endangers innocent citizens who deserve to be protected, including those who are trying to peacefully assemble and protest. We cannot allow federal tax dollars to be wasted when the safety of the citizenry hangs in the balance. It is my hope that the cities identified by the Department of Justice today will reverse course and become serious about performing the basic function of government and start protecting their own citizens.”
- These three cities got this damning designation because the mayor of Portland has allowed nightly riots to go on for over three months, the Seattle mayor lost control of a large section of downtown Seattle for weeks, and the New York City mayor has allowed violent crime to skyrocket in the past year.
- The President tweeted out his rationale for his order: "My Administration will do everything in its power to prevent weak mayors and lawless cities from taking Federal dollars while they let anarchists harm people, burn buildings, and ruin lives and businesses. We’re putting them on notice today."
But at least Trump is trying to do something, as compared to the nothing that the mayors of Portland, Seattle, and New York City have done which has endangered the lives, property, and welfare of millions of their citizens. This total inability to carry out that basic function of government is another thing I do not believe I have ever seen in this country.
4) A number of firsts today. The first time citizens wrote “F**K” a governor and mayor on a city street in huge block letters. The first time any law enforcement official wants to seriously investigate the famous people who were Jeffrey Epstein pedophiles. The first time the Federal government has had to step in and take action because city mayors could not fulfill a very basic government function, protect the lives and property of innocent residents.
And here is another, mind boggling first:
- We have shown many, many times that the Chicago political class and its mayor, Lori Lightfoot, are terrible in serving the citizens of that city.
- High murder rate, escalating violence and crime, a city budget heading for bankruptcy, etc. earns them the right to be considered the worst city politicians in the country.
- Things have gotten so bad and dangerous in the city, that local postal workers are threatening to stop delivering mail in some neighborhoods since they feel it is too dangerous.
- Recently, a postal delivery woman was actually shot while delivering mail.
- According to CBS News Chicago: “Chicago postal workers, saying it is too dangerous to deliver the mail, are threatening to stop delivering in some neighborhoods one week after a mail carrier was shot on her route. Postal workers and community organizers joined together for a prayer vigil Thursday near the scene of last week’s shooting. The 24-year-old mail carrier remains hospitalized. She was shot four times during a drive-by shooting in the Burnside neighborhood.”
- She had been delivering mail in this same neighborhood for a long time, she had no gang affiliations, she had not had a run in with anyone on her route, somebody just drove by and shot her.
- Other mail carriers have been shot by paintball guns with red paint pellets giving the impression that those postal workers hit with the pellets are actually bleeding.
A lot of firsts today, none of them good, and all attributable to the inept members of the American political class.
