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) Let’s get away from election fraud, the attack on the Capital, and other recent political class insanity and do a throwback to just good old government incompetence:
- Back in the spring, the Federal government added to the national debt by giving out billions and billions of dollars to states who were supposed to give it out as unemployment benefits to those that lost their jobs as a result of the covid pandemic.
- But according to the Associated Press, the state government of California bungled the gift from the American taxpayer so badly.
- The AP article reported that nearly $10 billion was paid out to phony coronavirus unemployment claims, more than double the previous fraud estimate.
- Even worse, in some cases it was not even American fraudsters getting the money with criminals from Russia, China and upwards of 18 other countries helping themselves to the covid relief money.
- Before the fraud was noticed, at least 10% of the claims were fraudulent before controls were finally established after the $10 billion was lost.
- It took six months before California figured out that there was substantial criminal activity involved in the claims process.
- Some of the $10 billion was paid out under the name of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein and other funds went to prisoners in state prisons some of whom were on death row.
- An audit found that almost 470,000 of the unemployment claims that were submitted for payment were fraudulent.
2) While the state of California was obviously inept in handling its Federal covid unemployment money, the ineptness and denial of reality may actually start with the state’s governor, Gavin Newsom:
- After some early success in combating covid, the state of California is now in a crisis mode as the number of daily cases keeps rising and rising despite anything Newsom has done, making the state’s infection rate one of the highest in the country,
- In the meantime big and large businesses and residents have been fleeing the state because of a whole range of other state government caused crises including higher and higher taxes, high homeless rates, skyrocketing crime, etc.
- And yet, given everything that has been going on, he seems in denial.
- He recently claimed that California businesses are doing “damn well.”
- He has this view even though 52% of the state’s restaurants are closed down and it is estimated that at least 20% will never reopen.
- As businesses shut down due to the virus and Newson’s draconian lock down orders, the newly unemployed were told that they would have to wait to get their benefits because of ineptness in processing claims.
- In the meantime, almost $10 billion in unemployment money disappeared, as we just discussed.
- He has ordered schools to stay closed even though the covid transmission rate among kids is so very, very low but his closure order has resulted in an increase in teenage suicides.
- So his covid policies have failed, people and businesses are leaving the state in a hurry, crime is high, homelessness is high, taxes are high, unfunded future financial liabilities are high, education attainment is low, his list of failures goes on and on.
3) We have previously discussed just a sample of lies that Joe Biden has said over the years:
- Biden said he was arrested at a Nelson Mandela event in South Africa...but he wasn’t.
- Biden said he graduated from a historically black college...but he didn’t.
- Biden said “18,000 people got clemency” while he was Vice President...but they didn’t. In fact, 18,000 people were denied clemency while he was Vice President.
- Biden, speaking in Kenosha, Wisconsin, said: “A black guy invented the light bulb, not a white guy named Edison.”
- Biden says he graduated from college with three degrees...but he didn’t.
- Biden said he was the only person in his law school class to get a full scholarship...but he wasn’t; in fact, he himself did not get a full scholarship.
- Biden was caught plagiarizing the work of others multiple times.
- Biden has been lying for so long that even Johnny Carson made fun of his lying.
- Biden lied about being against the NAFTA trade treaty...even though he voted to approve it.
- Biden said that 6,114 U.S.military service members had died from covid...when only 7 had actually died from the virus.
- Biden said that “The Constitution says that the American people — I taught constitutional law for over 20 years — says the American people get an opportunity to choose who they want on the Supreme Court by who they pick as their senator and their president”...but the Constitution does not say that and it is doubtful this candidate taught Constitutional law for over 20 years.
- Biden claimed that he forced Chinese Premier Deng to accept the Paris Climate Accords even though Deng had died many years before the Paris Accords were even a concept.
During the campaign he denied that he once called U.S. armed forces personnel “stupid bastards.” While speaking at an Air Force base a few years ago, he attempted to compel the audience to clap for something he did and when the response was then than enthusiastic, he called them “stupid bastards,” as the following link captures:

Another day, another lie from an American politician.
4) Staying with Biden and his political career, it appears that we already may have a crisis relative to one of his likely appointees to his administration:
- According to the Washington Free Beacon, Boston mayor, Marty Walsh, is Biden’s choice to be Labor Secretary.
- But the article from the Beacon alleges that Walsh channeled nearly $1.2 million into a consulting firm that employs his longtime girlfriend.
- The story says that Walsh’s mayor campaign pushed payments to LB Strategies where his live-in girlfriend, Lorrie Higgins, works as a fundraising consultant.
- Somehow the company had a contract that allows it to compensate its employees directly with the money from the campaign, so very convenient.
- In some circumstances this would be called money laundering.
- His girlfriend was one of only three employees at the company that still managed to get over a million dollars from Walsh’s political campaign.
- In fact she was hired AFTER the company started getting monthly payments of $5,000 for their work for the mayor under a contract that allowed the company to divvy up payments with employees, even newly hired ones.
- The company has hardly any online presence and track record and somehow does not even have a website.
- Walsh also was a top fundraiser for Biden who is one of at least eight people who are also getting Biden administration jobs because they were large campaign fundraisers.
5) We have often discussed the disaster that is Chicago. In fact, in the following post we made the case that Chicago will be the next major American city to go bankrupt:
One of the main problems the city has is its annual distinction of being one of the most violent, if not the most violent, city in America. This has caused businesses and residents to leave the city resulting in a reduced tax base which resulted in budget cuts which will reduce the police force which will lead to more violence and crime and the death spiral is now in play.
Let’s see if Chicago did any better than its recent history in 2020:
- According to the Chicago Tribune, as of December, 27, 2020, over 4,100 Chicago residents had been shot year to date, over 11 people being shot every day on average.
- Of those 4,100+ who were shot, 762 of them died, an average of about 2 shooting deaths a day, every day in 2020.
- The 762 who were shot dead is a whopping 55% increase over 2019.
- This is the highest murder rate since in five years.
- Until Chicago politicians got on the “defund the police” bandwagon in 2020, the murder rate and number of murders had actually been in decline, indicting again how stupid the whole defund the police movement is.
That will do it for today: Chicago is still violent and its mayor is still incompetent, Biden will refill the swamp and probably lie about it, given his background of lies, the delusion of Newsom in California, and good old government incompetence when handling taxpayer wealth, also in California.
