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 previously spoken about the disregard Biden has for women's individual space. He is handsy, groping, and possibly a sexual predator, at least according to one woman, Tara Reade, behavior that is despicable from anyone, never mind the President of the United States. Well, it appears that at least one member of his White House staff also had a similar disregard and disrespect for women:
- Assistant Press secretary for Biden, T.J. Ducklo, recently got himself in some hot water with disgusting comments directed at a female reporter.
- Apparently, Ducklo threatened to “destroy” Politico reporter, Tara Palmeri, for her reporting on his personal relationship with another woman using vulgar accusations and words I will not print here.
- He was initially given a week suspension without pay and forced to apologize to Ms. Palmeri.
- This was obviously a slap on the wrist given what Biden promised he would do when someone harassed or intimidated someone else: “I am not joking when I say this, if you are ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect … talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot. On the spot. No ifs, ands or buts. Everybody is entitled to be treated with decency and dignity. That’s been missing in a big way the last four years.”
2) We have often talked about how many Democrat-run states and cities across the country are going to go bankrupt in a very short amount of time. The politicians in these cities and states continually raise current tax rates, impose new taxes, fail to deliver basic government services, and generally reduce the freedom of residents and businesses in those states.
As a result, it has always been our position that people and businesses will move when they feel they are paying higher and higher taxes for fewer and fewer government services and benefits, both in quantity and quality, and their freedom is being curtailed. Examples we have given include:
- The states with the highest outward migration of residents are almost always Illinois, California, New York, and New Jersey, four of the states we predict will be the first states to go bankrupt.
- Over a relatively recent period of time, Toyota, Charles Schwab, Tesla, and many other California businesses have moved major parts of their businesses out of state.
- Rich Californians including Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, and Ben Shapiro have moved out of state in search of lower tax rates and more freedom.
- Tesla decided NOT to put its electric truck factory in California, deciding instead to move this major effort to low tax, high freedom Texas.
- This has resulted in a shrinking tax base in these states and cities which has reduced the tax revenue stream which forces politicians to raise taxes which forces even more businesses and residents to leave and the financial death spiral is in place.
- The California governor, Gavin Newsom and his political allies, have made it very difficult to do business in California during the pandemic with their widespread lockdowns, especially for businesses that are entertainment focused.
- And now the biggest entertainment company of all, Disney, is considering moving some of its California operations out of state.
- In a recent public statement, the company said: "As the largest employer in central Florida, we are always exploring opportunities for additional locations within the vicinity of our theme park but there is nothing concrete."
- This statement comes in light of statements by the company chairman, Bob Chapek, that the lockdown rules in California because of the pandemic are “arbitrary.”
- I am sure he is not happy since the governor refuses to allow the California Disney property to open even though Disneyworld in Florida has been open and safe for months: "We are extremely disappointed that the State of California continues to keep Disneyland closed despite our proven track record. Our health and safety protocols are all science-based and have the support of labor unions representing 99% of our hourly cast members," Chapek said during a November earnings call with investors.
3) But the California brand of political insanity is not restricted to California. Gretchen Whitmer in Michgian has done quite the job of shutting down her state with draconian, unnecessary, and often just plain stupid lockdown and other inane restrictions, many of which we have already discussed. Put her name in the search box above to see some of the insanity she has rained down on her residents and businesses.
Her inability to have any common sense during the pandemic has brought forth the following types of economic destruction on her state residents and businesses:
- Just in December, 2020 Michigan lost 64,400 jobs.
- This made the state attain the 11th highest joblessness rate in the country.
- The Michigan Restaurant and Lodging Association (MRLA) called out the Democrat governor, claiming that Whitmer’s orders have caused over 100,000 workers in the hospitality and small operations sectors to lose their jobs and face bankruptcy.
- Thus, while other states were safely reopening its economy, Whitmer kept her’s shut down, causing economic hardship for hundreds of thousands of state residents.
- By the way, while thousands were losing their wages and salaries, she continued to draw her salary while preventing others from drawing their salaries.
Another failed politician with failed policies. It would not surprise anyone if in the next few years we see that her actions and failures have caused Michigan to join the other states listed above to go into the same death spiral as residents and businesses leave for greener, less taxing, and freer pastures.
Enough insanity for today: Michigan on the verge of a death spiral, California continues to self destruct, and Biden sacrifices a peon for sexual predator actions while he slides free of the same action for similar infractions.
