October, 2021, Part 4, Political Class Insanity: A Clueless Congresswoman, A Cynical Congressman, and An Elitist Mayor

Before we get to today’s insanity, please consider the following proposition: as many of you know, the withdrawal from Afghanistan has been a historic and fatal endeavor. But the failure did not start just in the past few weeks, it has been a twenty year disaster. It has cost American taxpayers about a trillion dollars, has left thousands of our brave armed forces folks dead, maimed, or wounded and has resulted in an unknown but substantial number of civilian deaths.

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) In our opinion , Bill de Blasio is one of the worst mayors in the country. He led the “defund the police” in New York City, an effort that led to serious increases in violence crimes, murders, and other law breaking activities. He was grossly uneducated when it came to the pandemic, encouraging his citizens to go out and party like normal times because the covid virus is not passed via drinks and food, a position that probably led to the deaths and serious sickness of an untold number of city residents. He shut down all of the gyms in the city because of covid but then forced his gym to open up so he could work out, denying that same function to every other New Yorker.

And his sense of privilege for himself and his contempt for the city taxpayers still goes on:
  • The NYC Department of Investigation (DOI) has issued a report that says the good mayor misused police resources.
  • According to the DOI, de Blasio used police resources to help his daughter move out of Brooklyn in addition to using police resources to transport his campaign staff during his inane Presidential bid.
  • Police officers were used to carry furniture out of the mayor;s daughter’s apartment and then a police van took her furniture to Gracie Mansion, the official residence of the mayor.
  • Police detectives also drove the mayor’s son to and from Yale University.
  • A whopping $319,794 of NYC taxpayer money was used to transport personnel around the country when he ran for President.
  • And the sad thing about this whole state of affairs is that de Blasio does not see the problem with having police officers turn themselves into a moving company for his daughter, a taxi service for his son, or a travel company for his failed and ridiculous Presidential campaign.
He attacked the report, claiming that his police detail’s very job is to protect him and his family. This is true but I am pretty sure that the details of that assignment do not include actually moving furniture and such. Another example of an elitist politician who thinks the rules do not apply to him.

2) For almost two years we've had to put up with government officials telling us, ordering us to wear a mask in public, stay six feet apart, do not gather in large groups, etc. But it seems that as soon as a politicians put a covid edict into place, they themselves ended up violating their own orders:
  • The mayor of Chicago shut down all of the hair salons but forced hers to open to get herself a haircut, a function she denied to all other city residents.
  • The mayor of Beaumont, Texas, shut down all of the nails loans but forced hers to open so she could get her nails done, a function she denied to all other city residents.
  • The governor of California ordered his state citizens to always wear a mask, avoid crowds and social distance but was then photographed in a swanking restaurant doing none of those things.
  • As we said above, de Blasio closed down all of the NYC gyms but forced his gym to open up only for him.
You get the idea, with American politicians it is often “do as I say, not as I do.” And a member of Congress recently told how she is following in that sad tradition:
  • Rashida Tlaib is currently a US Congresswoman.
  • She recently admitted, an admission that was caught on video, that she only wears a mask when she goes in front of the cameras.
  • She said that, “No, no, no, I’m just wearing it because I’ve got a Republican tracker here.”
The hypocrisy is so bad. We are suffering with this whole mask thing, being browbeat by local and national politicians to wear a mask and she readily admits that she only does it for show. So who is the idiot: Tlaib for not protecting herself or us for doing what those in power are not doing.

3) Since Biden came into office, the southern border has been a drug cartel, human trafficking, criminal gang, covid, juvenile abuse, and all round humanitarian disaster. Everyday thousands of people are illegally entering the country, endangering all of us from a drug addiction, covid, and terrorism perspective.

Recently over 15,000 illegal immigrants parked out under a bridge, causing a sanitary nightmare before they were shipped to locations around the country to endanger the lives of American citizens. News reports showed a constant stream of people wading across the Rio Grande river to illegally enter the country.

All of which provided a good example of how out of touch Washington politicians are with the rest of the country:
  • We have previously discussed, many times, how Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee is so out of touch with reality.
  • She once proclaimed that the Constitution is over 400 years old, it is not.
  • She once proclaimed that South Vietnam and North Vietnam both still existed, with North Vietnam ruling over South Vietnam even though South Vietnam disappeared over 45 years ago.
  • She once asked if one of the Mars rover vehicles would be going past the place where Neil Armstrong landed… on the moon!
  • And not to outdo her ignorance, she recently proclaimed that the southern border is closed and secure, despite the tens of thousands illegal immigrants, drug and criminal gang members, human traffickers and potential terrorists that come over the border every month since Biden took office.
  • In her special world, it is her opinion that “biased and unfair narratives” are being used for political purposes.
  • She is a Democrat and even Democrats in Congress and locally on the Texas/Mexican border are crying out for help to stop the flow of humanity illegally coming into the country and overwhelming Border Patrol and other government entities and services, but in her mind, all is good and fine.
Unbelievable that a member of Congress could be that ignorant of reality. She reminds of the Kevin Bacon ROTC character in the movie “Animal House.” towards the end of the movie, chaos and bedlam are breaking out in the downtown area and he is in the middle of it all shouting, “Remain calm!” His soothing words are so out of tune with the chaotic reality around him and he eventually gets run over by the stampeding crowd. Jackson Lee should put herself down on the border, it would be a hoot to see her Kevin Bacon impersonation trampled by the stampeding illegal immigrants.

A clueless Congresswoman, a hypocritical and cynical Congresswoman, and an entitled mayor, lord help us.
