Afghanistan has been a collective failure of multiple Presidential administrations and multiple sessions of Congress. Thus, please consider signing the petition below that calls for the immediate resignation of every member of Congress that has at least twenty years of service and the resignation of President Biden, Vice President Harris, and critical, and failed, members of the Biden Administration. They do not deserve to serve any longer given their miserable twenty year track record of death, destruction and waste in Afghanistan.

Thank you.

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.
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) We could probably do three posts a day for months to cover the most inane and fatal screwups by the Biden administration in the withdrawal from Afghanistan. It has been one of the worst government operations in any area of endeavor in our country’s history.
But we will save Biden’s failures some other time. Today, we start with a longer term Afghanistan embarrassment that is typical of the trillion dollars that the American political class wasted in Afghanistan in the past twenty years:
- As you read this sad chapter, keep in mind that millions of Americans are homeless, hungry and drug addicted but instead of addressing those domestic issues, the DC politicians decided to send millions of tax dollars overseas to Afghanistan for the most insane reason.
- The U.S. Agency for International Development spent at least $89 million to “increase election participation” in Afghanistan.
- Rather than spend $89 million to increase voter participation in this country or divert that money for shelter, food and drug treatment for needy Americans, the Federal government sent it overseas in a fruitless process to impose democracy on a people that had no experience with the concept
2) Far too many times we have discussed the hypocrisy of the American political class when it comes to the pandemic:
- After shutting down every business in Chicago, the Chicago mayor insisted that only her hair salon open up only for her to get her hair done, denying the pleasure to everyone else in the city.
- After shutting down every business in Beaumont, Texas, the Beaumont mayor insisted that only her nail salon open up only for her to get her nails done, denying the pleasure to everyone else in the city.
- After shutting down every gym in NYC, the NYC mayor insisted that his gym open up only for him so that he could get some exercise, denying that please to everyone else in the city.
- After insisting that every citizen in California wear a mask whenever they are out and about, the governor was caught having a dinner party at a fancy restaurant with everyone present at the dinner not wearing a mask including the governor.
And it continues despite those politicians above getting castigated for their hypocritical behaviors:
- Ted Wheeler is the mayor of Portland, Oregon.
- We have often made the case that he is one of the worst mayors in the country, allowing the terrorist group Antifa to run wild in his city, breaking laws, setting fires, assaulting and frightening citizens, etc.
- And it turns out that not only is he a wimp of a leader, he is also a hypocrite when it comes to pandemic rules that he endorsed and supported.
- Keep in mind that Portland and the state of Oregon are in the midst of a rampaging increase in covid cases.
- However, that did not stop the mayor from attending an indoor meeting with others in which none of the meeting participants were wearing a mask, certainly a violation of Wheeler’s covid decree, a “do as I say, not as I do” moment.
- Now, the mayor’s office tried to pooh pooh this obvious covid safety violation, claiming that the meeting participants did not have to wear their masks since they were actively engaged in eating and drinking, an exception to the indoor mask requirement.
- However, a photo of the meeting showed everyone seated in a circle not wearing a mask and not actively drinking or eating.
- In fact, while the photo showed some bottles of water sitting around, there was no sign of any substantial food in the photo.
- Thus, Wheeler is guilty of hypocrisy, especially because he insisted a few weeks ago that everyone should be “making a commitment to protect those around us by wearing a mask at all times while indoors.”
3) Gretchen Whitmer is running for another term as the governor of Michigan. She has had a dreadful time during the pandemic, guilty of at least two “do as I say, not as I do” instances:
- Early in the pandemic, when Whitmer had shut down just about all outdoor activities in Michigan, her husband tried to go around her decree by throwing her name around when he tried to get his boat out for a day of boating while the governor had prohibited every other citizen of the state from doing the same.
- She had strongly discouraged anyone from coming into the state,including returning Michigan residents when she tried to sneak out of the state to visit her father in Florida and then return, an antic she had formally prohibited
- She recently condemned what she called “out of state interests” who were contributing campaign donations to her opponent.
- This is a noble gesture and outrage if you believe that only Michigan residents should be able to contribute to Michigan politicians since those politicians should be accountable only to them, not accountable to out of state interests who bribed her with campaign donations.
- But her nobility is pure hypocrisy since according to the Washington Beacon, she also has received mega donations from “out of state interests,” interests that have little if any connection to the state’s affairs and welfare.
- She raised $8.6 million in campaign donations over the past seven months or so and a whopping 44% of those donations came from donors outside of Michigan.
- Many of these individual donations also exceeded the $7,150 contribution limit for donors that apply to Michigan donors.
- Non-Michigan billionaires, Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker, oil executive Stacy Schusterman, and heiress and Colorado Democracy Alliance Cofounder Patricia Stryker, combined to give Whitmer $750,000.
- None of these three billionaires live in Michigan.
- Whitmer tried to convince the world that she was a “grassroots” candidate, getting small donations from individual state citizens, while at the same time collecting mega dollars from out of state billionaires.
That’s enough insanity for today: Whitmer is a hypocrite, Wheeler is a hypocrite, and while millions of Americans went homeless, hungry and drug addicted over the past twenty years, the Washington political class sent untold billions of dollars to Afghanistan and in the process provided no benefits to anyone.
