October, 2020, Part 6, Political Class Insanity: The Clinton Books Bomb, The Chicago Mayor's Horrid Priorities and A Texas Politician Who Lives In California

It is the beginning of another month which means it is time again to review the latest political class insanity from the American political class. Each month it takes us multiple posts to cover the wasteful spending, incompetent government organizations and employees, government programs that usually make a problem worse than resolving it, inane and idiotic politician comments, etc.

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) I have always felt that those who serve in the House of Representatives should live in their Congressional district. It has always made no sense to me that someone would be elected to represent a group of people in Congress but not live among them to get an up close feel of the issues that their constituents face every day. 

For example, Congresswoman Maxine Walters in California represents one of the poorer Congressional districts in the state and country. But she does not live in that district that she represents in Congress, preferring to live in a mansion-like home in a much more affluent area with other rich folks, not the poorer voters she is supposed to represent.

But Ms. Walters is a saint compared to a politician in Texas:

• Helane Sawsan Seikaly is running as a Democrat to represent Texas voters in the House of Representatives.
• Specifically, she wants to be the Congresswoman for the 3rd Congressional district in Texas.
• But there is a problem in that Ms. Seikaly lives and works in California.
• Despite living in California she has voted in Texas for at least the past four years, falsely using her parents’ Dallas address as her own address, misrepresenting herself to the state and its voting procedures.
• She has tried to position herself as someone who “understands the challenges facing North Texans”.... even though she has been living in California.
• Thus, it makes it a little difficult to see how she understands the needs of the Congressional district she wants to represent when not only does she not live in the district, she lives in an entirely different state.
• When responding to a questionnaire from the Dallas Morning News earlier this year, in true political doublespeak, she lied without appearing to lie:"My parents came to North Texas in the late 80s when I was a year old. It's been home ever since." 
• No, it's been the home of her parents since then, not her home.
• She became a member of the California bar in June, 2014, she is listed on their website as an active attorney in California, her bar information says she lives in Roseville, California, she was an adjunct professor at the University Of California Davis law school from 2015 to 2017, and she worked for a California law firm from January 2015 until March, 2020, Churchwell White LLP, a firm “with deep roots in California.

So, not only is this politician likely in violation of the voting laws of Texas by voting in the state but no doubt not living in the state, she somehow wants voters to ignore this criminal infraction and vote for her, someone who is worst than folks like Maxine Walters: not only does she not live in the Congressional district she wants to represent, she doesn't even live in the state of that Congressional district. Insane.

2) Somehow politicians and those related to the political scene think that the rest of the world is dying to find out their inner thoughts and insights to life and will pay good money if they write a book about their wonderful selves. Most of the time these books get an initial rush of readers but fade very quickly to the discount rack in the local Barnes and Noble store.

Thus, you know a book is really, really bad if a political operative writes a book that does not even get that initial rush as we see from the latest efforts from Chelsea Clinton and her mom, two political operatives that refuse to fade away and who constantly have to feel they are important:

• Let’s be clear, I am not a fan of either Chelsea or Hillary.
• Chelsea has absolutely no life experiences that I care to hear about and her mother in my opinion, ran a crime syndicate that enriched the Clinton clan while she was Secretary of State.
• And apparently most of the rest of the world now feels the same way.
• A recent book that Chelsea Clinton co-authored, did not crack the top 15,000 titles that Amazon sells.
• The book, “Governing Global Health,” ranked 17,748 in a recent Amazon listing of book sales.
• And those that did read it gave an average rating of only 1.6 out of five.
• One Amazon reviewer called it “As superficial and boring as its author, who has received a free ride her entire life.”
• And her mother's recent book, “Stronger Together: A Blueprint for America’s Future,” did even worse despite Hillary’s name on the front.
• It sold less than 3,000 copies its first week and somehow did far worst than her daughter’s book, ranking a whopping 89,681 on Amazon’s Best Sellers Rank.

Wow, could it be possible that America is finally growing tired of the Clinton’s, people who have added very little to the welfare and benefit of Americans but who enriched themselves beyond every American’s dream in the process? We can only hope that these book failures means they will finally just...go...away.

3) We have far too often discussed the reality that Chicago as a city is a mess:

• It is the murder capital of the country with hundreds and hundreds of city residents getting killed and thousands getting wounded every year.
• It is a city that very well will go bankrupt very soon, unseating Detroit as the largest American city to ever go bankrupt.
• Its ever rising crime rate has forced the mayor, Lori Lightfoot, to plead with businesses to not abandon the city because the city cannot protect the assets or employees of those businesses.
• The city is so unsafe that the same mayor has allotted herself and her neighborhood extra police protection while not providing enough police protection for regular citizens.

Given the dire situation in the city, one would hope that the mayor was hard at work on these major issues and taking her job very seriously. But of course, if you made that assumption, you would be wrong:

• I am sure that the whole covid crisis continues to threaten the lives and health of people in Chicago and needs to be taken seriously.
• Unfortunately, the serious part did not make through to the mayor,
• In a recent news conference she showed up dressed in a bizarre Halloween outfit.
• She showed up not as a dignified leader of the city but as “Captain Corona,” wearing a cape and giving out Halloween candy.
• She was there at the press conference to discuss the city’s Halloween procedures.

Over 3,100 Chicago residents have been shot in the city this year and she takes time out of her day to dress up in a bizarre Halloween outfit. Hundreds of city residents have been killed by the violence in her city and she devotes a press conference to Halloween procedures, something that a simple press release should have handled. Tough to take any politician seriously when dressing up for Halloween trick or treating is a high priority for them and they are dressed like this:

So, today we have a California resident that wants to be a Texas Congresswoman, the long awaited failure of anyone in the Clinton family to reinsert themselves into our lives, and the continued failure of the Chicago mayor to resolve any issue and who acts like a clown in the process.
