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 discussed the idiocy and ineptness of the California political class many times, especially lately. They have wrought the following problems on the citizens of the state:
- The state has the highest poverty level in the country.
- The state has, by far, the largest unfunded financially government liabilities.
- The state has one of the highest tax burdens in the country.
- The state has some of the highest gas prices in the country.
- The state has some of the highest utility costs in the country.
- The state has the largest homeless population in the country.
- The state’s cities have seen an ever increasing crime rate.
- The state has the highest housing prices in the country.
- The state lost 180,000 residents in the past year as citizens and businesses flee the deteriorating living conditions and quality of life situations in the state.
- The decreasing size of the state population has resulted in a lost Congressional seat.
- Reason magazine recently discussed the new California state policy that “will discourage students who are gifted at math.”
- Yes, rather than and lift up the math expertise and ability of all students, the state has decided it is better to dumb down the entire math education process to the lowest common denominator.
- Of course, that is not how they explain it, preferring to cast the downgrade as being anti-racist: “Active efforts in mathematics teaching are required in order to counter the cultural forces that have led to and continue to perpetuate current inequities. Mathematics pathways must open mathematics to all students, eliminating option-limiting tracking. [i.e. no advance classes]....The evolution of mathematics in educational settings has resulted in dramatic inequities for students of color, girls, and students from low income homes.”
- More tripe from the new guidelines: “To encourage truly equitable and engaging mathematics classrooms we need to broaden perceptions of mathematics beyond methods and answers so that students come to view mathematics as a connected, multi-dimensional subject that is about sense making and reasoning, to which they can contribute and belong."
- Reason correctly concludes: "If California adopts this framework, which is currently under public review, the state will end up sabotaging its brightest students. The government should let kids opt out of math if it's not for them. Don't let the false idea that there's no such thing as a gifted student herald the end of advanced math entirely."
2) Since Biden became President, we have had the following situations develop:
- Russian troops are threatening the Ukraine.
- Iran is threatening the world.
- The Palestinians and Israelis are killing each other.
- France and England are at odds over fishing rights.
- Someone, some hacker(s) shut down a major oil pipeline in the country.
- Inflation is at the highest level in over a decade.
- The unemployment rate recently started inching up again.
- Almost 25,000 illegal immigrant children are in custody of the Biden government and separated from their parents.
- This is an all time high level.
- Senator Mitt Romney pinned the blame where it belongs, on Biden’s stupid border policy and statements:“The Biden administration’s lack of understanding of the power of incentives continues to baffle me: allowing unaccompanied minors to stay in the U.S. will yield a flood of unaccompanied minors. It’s de facto ‘child separation policy.’”
- Although Biden continues to blame Trump for the problem he has created, the reality is that the surge of unaccompanied kids at the border started AFTER Trump left office.
- In addition, for the first time ever, we now know that drug cartels have learned to deposit unaccompanied small children on the border to divert Border Patrol resources from preventing cartel and criminal activity to taking care of abandoned kids.
- In addition, there are reports that the there is child abuse going on within the detention facilities as these unaccompanied kids are not protected by their parents.
3) We have often discussed the reality that for a democracy to survive, the press and journalism entities that serve the democracy have to be strong, aggressive, unbiased, and fair in their reporting. Unfortunately, that cannot be said of the journalism profession and mainstream media in this country today, a reality that does indeed endanger our democracy.
CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post and others have shown themselves to be unfair and intentionally misleading in their reporting, almost always favoring the liberal positions and specifically, the Democratic party, over the past years. This was especially true during the Trump years, where even the pretense of trying to be unbiased was discarded for the worst form of biased journalism.
So it is actually refreshing when one of those biased mainstream outlets actually reports in an unbiased, honest, factual manner:
- Democrats across the country at the state and local government level have imposed the most draconian, oppressive, and often useless and stupid covid lock downs during the pandemic.
- Conversely, Republican politicians across the country have been smarter, made better use of common sense and loosened covid restrictions in a timely and so far, accurate, manner.
- And while most members of the mainstream press falsely saw these Republicans as reckless and dangerous, the reality is that those states with looser restrictions and more freedom relative to covid are in a much stronger economic recovery mode than the states run by Democrats.
- So it was refreshing to see the “Today Show” on NBC, certainly a mainstream media outlet, recognize the truth and factually report on it in their report called “ COVID Conundrum.”
- Their reporting honestly showed that the states with stricter covid restrictions were experiencing a new surge in covid cases while Republican run states were not seeing any surge at all: “Call it a COVID conundrum. In states with the strictest measures in the country, like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and much of New England, cases are on the rise, while in the South, states like Arkansas and Texas that have reopened businesses and ripped away mask mandates are seeing their numbers drop.”
4) From FDR to John Kennedy to Bill Clinton to a whole bunch of other politicians, members of the American political class have all too often shown themselves to be sexual predators, perverts, and hypocrites. Consider a recent example of such despicable behaviors from an Oregon politician:
- Dave Hunt is a former speaker of the Oregon house of representatives and is a current board member of the Clackamas Community College board.
- And now he is an arrested former speaker of the house in Oregon having been arrested in a police sting associated with human trafficking websites.
- He was arrested after being caught arranging to pay for sex on one of the websites which was really a police sting.
- Although this behavior is pretty nasty and despicable, which makes it worse is his hypocrisy since he actually once sponsored a piece of legislation that was meant to combat sex trafficking.
- He sponsored a bill back in 2007 that crininalized sex trafficking and also voted to support a laws in 2011 which created the crime of “commercial sexual solicitation.”
- The karma of the whole sordid affair is that this was the statue he was arrested for, a piece of legislation he actually voted to enact.
That will do it for today: a possible sex deviant former politician in Oregon, rare honesty from a mainstream media outlet, Biden’s incompetence puts tens of thousands of kids in danger, and California dumbs down the state’s kids.
