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.
Also, if you are passionate about this topic and effort, feel free to pass the link along to others who might also feel the same way, i.e. incompetence should not be rewarded:
Biden and others need to resign for dereliction of duty, incompetence and total lack of empathy. Nothing short of resignation is acceptable. 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.
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) Far too many times we have discussed how pathetically and fatally wrong the whole “defund the police” movement was and still is. Police forces and the respect for police forces was slashed by American politicians over the past year or so, resulting in increased violence, crime and deaths in American cities across the country.
Austin, Texas is just the latest city to be hit by the increased violence as a result of the increased idiocy of the city’s politicians:
- There have been 60 homicides in Austin so far this year.
- This more than any other year out of the 61 years that the police department has kept such records.
- This year’s homicide rate is 6.2 per 100,000 records, up from 5.0 in 2020, a 24% increase, and 4.2 homicides in 2016.
- According to a local news report: "The city's police force is also stretched thin, with officer shortages and a large chunk of the budget being cut."
- City politicians cancelled police department cadet classes and stripped a whopping $150 million out of the department’s $434 million budget, more than a third.
- According to the Austin American-Statesman: "Several acknowledge that the department is now left with a bare-bones patrol staff suffering unprecedented attrition. The council has reinstated cadet classes, but the first graduates won’t hit the streets until spring. The department has about 1,800 officers, roughly the same number it had in 2016."
- As a result of this political insanity, police forces no longer respond to “non-emergency” law breaking like theft, prostitution, burglary, etc.
- In these non-emergency cases, residents have to call 311, the city government number, and in some cases have had to wait weeks to get any help.
Despite this common sense approach to the problem, the group has been met with resistance from city leaders, organizations, and activists that somehow put forth the ridiculous argument that increasing the size of the police force would not make the city safer.
There is no cure for stupid, as Austin politicians and their wacky defund the police effort has shown. We have asserted many, many times that a very basic function of government is to protect the lives and property of law abiding citizens. If a government entity cannot perform that primary function then it is a failure regardless of how well it does any other city function.
2) And the increase in crime is not restricted to Austin:
- According to the latest FBI crime statistics, murders in the country increased over 29% in 2020 vs. 2019.
- This is one of the largest single year increases in the country’s history.
- There were 21,570 murders in 2020, an increase of 4,901 vs. 2019.
3) The Obama administration was not a friend of the Constitution:
- It tracked down and killed American citizens around the world that were considered enemies or terrorists without giving those Americans their right to a trial and due process.
- They spied on journalists without court warrants or reasons, disrespecting and ignoring the First Amendment.
- They spied on millions of American citizens without court warrants or reasons, further disrespecting the First Amendment.
- They altered or faked information in warrant submissions to get the wiretapping court approval they needed.
- They used the IRS to harass political opponents, violating their First and Fourth Amendment rights.
- Carter Page is a former Trump political campaign official.
- His work history included working with the CIA, the FBI, and the State Department.
- Given his work history, it is highly doubtful that he was in cahoots with Russian agents or sources, he probably had to undergo extensive background checks to work at the above agencies.
- But none of this information was provided by Obama’s agents when they applied for secret FISA warrants to spy on Page during Trump’s campaign.
- That warrant was an integral part of the Obama fake conspiracy to make it show that the Trump campaign was involved with Russian spies, a fairy tale that has been shown to be nothing more than a political ploy on Obama’s part.
- According to the Federalist, the FISA court “found violations of the government’s duty of candor in all four applications” and that the government “must temporarily retain, and potentially use and disclose, the information collected, largely in the context of ongoing or anticipated litigation.”
- In other words, Obama and his people broke the law and violated a basic tenet of the Constitution.
4) We have shown many times that the corruption and greed of the American political class is not just with the politicians serving in DC, that politicians at all levels of government have a great history of corruption:
- The former mayor of Fall River, Massachusetts, Jasiel Correia, was recently sentenced to six years in prison after he was found guilty of corruption.
- He was elected mayor at the young age of 23 but his age was not a barrier to his corruption.
- He was found guilty of taking bribes from marijuana companies that wanted to open pot shops in his town.
- The judge in the case found the ex-mayor’s behavior reprehensible: “What I have before me is an absolute lack of remorse,a corrosive crime, it undercuts, it eviscerates a community. If we can’t trust each other, if we can’t trust our government, where are we? This is at the core of who we are...City Hall was for sale,”
- Correia claims he is innocent and although a few charges were eventually reversed and dropped, he is still likely going to prison for the charges that still remain.
Another day of American political class insanity: taking bribes, shredding the Constitution, failing to protect American lives, and another defund the police disaster.
