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) Of all the politicians and government bureaucrats who screwed up when it came to the covid pandemic, probably no one screwed up more than the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo. Early on he pooh-poohed the idea that the virus was anything more serious than the ordinary flu. He was late to realize the seriousness of the problem. He pleaded for more hospital beds which resulted in Trump sending a Navy medical ship to NYC and the conversion of a huge convention center into an emergency hospital, neither of which Cuomo used despite overcrowding at hospitals in NYC and the state.
But his most wrong and most fatal decision was to force state nursing homes to accept covid patients into their buildings, exposing the most vulnerable people in the country, elderly citizens, to the virus. As a result, New York led the country in nursing home deaths because of his idiocy and mistake.
And as we touched on briefly in a previous post, the deaths he inflicted on nursing home residents was worse than he admitted to:
- Two weeks ago, the Attorney general of New York released a report that cloaked the actual death toll from the virus in New York state’s nursing homes were severely under counted.
- A sample analysis of a set of state nursing homes estimated that the death toll was about 50% higher than what Cuomo and the state government reported.
- As people looked deeper into the data, that 50% number now appears to be closer to 62% according to a National Review article.
- But matters recently got even worse as one of Cuomo’s top aides, Melissa DeRosa has admitted that in a call to state Democratic lawmakers she admitted that the Cumo administration had knowingly and blatantly hid the real death figures for political reasons.
- On a recording DeRosa explains that if the true numbers got out, it would bring political heat to Cuomo: “Right around the same time, [then-President Trump] turns this into a giant political football... [Trump] starts tweeting that we killed everyone in nursing homes. He starts going after [Democratic New Jersey governor Phil] Murphy, starts going after [Democratic California governor Gavin] Newsom, starts going after [Democratic Michigan governor] Gretchen Whitmer... [and maybe he even] directs the Department of Justice to do an investigation into us. And basically, we froze.”
- In other words, instead of being honest and forthright for the families whose elderly relatives suffered because of Cuomo’s boneheaded decision, let’s make sure we maintain political air cover.
- The article summarizes nicely what has happened over the past year: “To recap, as of last month Cuomo acknowledged only that 8,711 nursing-home residents died of COVID. After James’s report, which confirmed suspicions that Cuomo wasn’t counting the many nursing-home residents who were taken to hospitals and then died there, the official tally rose to 12,743. This week, that number jumped to 14,100, according to figures uncovered by Freedom of Information Law requests by the Empire Center for Public Policy that include confirmed and presumed COVID fatalities for nursing-home clients, whether those deaths took place within those homes or off-site. That’s 5,389 deaths linked to nursing homes that Cuomo hid — double New York’s death toll from 9/11.”
- As a result of Cuomo’s failed leadership, New York has the second highest covid death rate in the country per million people, 2,330, second only to New Jersey’s failure rate at 2,510.
- As a comparison, Belgium has the highest death rate of any other country at 1,867, which means Cuomo’s record is 24% worse than the worst country’s rate.
- But this should be no surprise since on March 6, 2020 Cuomo said relative to the covid virus, “the overall risk level . . . remains low.”
2) The new Georgia Democratic Senator from Georgia, Raphael Warnock, who just elected a month or so ago, wasted no time getting himself involved with a criminal investigation of his actions:
- The Georgia State Election Board has launched a criminal investigation into the possibility that Warnock has violated Georgia election laws.
- The investigation centers on Warnock’s role as the chairman of the New Georgia Project (NGP), a voter registration organization.
- The Board decision to start the investigation was unanimous, indicating that there may be something to the suspicions since Democratic members of the Board did not try to block the effort.
- Apparently, under Warnock the organization failed to follow election deadlines and submitted 1,268 voter registration forms ten days after the deadline.
3) The owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team recently decided to not play the national anthem before home games this season. Obviously, as the team owner he has that right even though it is another empty gesture of self loathing that makes no one in society better off because of his actions.
When Biden’s press secretary was asked for Biden's opinion on Cuban’s actions she put forth the following statement: “[Biden] has great respect for the anthem. He’d also say that pride in our country means recognizing the moments when we as a country haven’t lived up to our highest ideals.”
This coming from a politician who has been involved in Washington politics for almost fifty years, in other words, he is a major factor when our country did not live up to our highest ideals. As we have pointed out in the past, Biden has not lived up to anyone’s ideals, having been a sexual predator any number of times, having issued racist comments any number of times, and lied about his own personal history any number of times. A predator, racist, and liar, it seems Joe has often been very short of our “highest ideals.”
That will do it for today’s insanity: Biden doesn't realize he is a main factor in the country's shortcomings, a Georgia Senator gets off to a shaky start, and Cuomo continues to fall short on performance and integrity.
