October, 2021, Part 5, Political Class Insanity: Fake and Lying Presidency, Bad Priorities from Kamala and the Homeless Problem Gets More Expensive But Does Not Get Resolved.

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) Mostly liberal/Democratic ruled cities across the country have been experiencing massive homeless problems. And none of them have found a solution. In fact, many of them, San Francisco comes to mind, have enabled their homeless populations as opposed to resolving their homeless problem.

And Seattle, one of the most liberal and poorly run city governments in the country, has tried again to resolve their homeless problem but are failing miserably, costing city taxpayers plenty of money without any real or effective results:
  • The Seattle city government plans to spend $48 million of taxpayer money to buy three buildings of luxury apartments with outstanding views of the Space Needle and Puget Sound.
  • The city would then open up those 165 apartment units to city homeless folks currently living in tents or homeless shelters.
  • And it's not just Seattle taxpayers who are paying for this effort since Federal government dollars are being used for the building purchases.
  • Everyone deserves a high quality, affordable place to call home,” said Emily Alvaredo, director of the Seattle Office of Housing.
  • While it may be affordable for the homeless folks that move into it, it will not be for those paying the tab for these 165 units.
  • Simple math would show that each one of these units will cost just under $300,000 each.
  • Local news reports quote real estate developers saying that new units could be built for one half to one third this $300,000 cost.
  • And the city is not done overspending since they plan to buy up other units as well, likely at the same, sky high prices.
  • The city defended its decision saying that the expensive housing units are available now and to build reasonably priced units would take a while so better to overspend taxpayer money now than be reasonable by waiting a short time.
  • Of course, as with every government project, that $48 million price tag is probably an underestimate since every government program costs more than estimated.
  • And if the city government and the politicians that operate it had any foresight to a long running problem they would have already invested in reasonably priced housing years ago.
  • Also, since the city has over 12,000 homeless folks, extending this approach to all of them would cost well over $3 billion and thus, this is not a long term solution or approach since this $48 million investment will help a very small percentage of those who are homeless, 165, or just over 1.3%.
  • A bad, expensive, and ineffective solution to a long running, multi-faceted problem, indicating how clueless Seattle politicians have been for a long time. 
  • But compared to Los Angeles, the Seattle politicians are getting a great deal. When the Los Angeles city government and politicians tried a similar approach, buying an apartment building on Skid Row for the homeless, the city paid a whopping $160 million for just 275 studio apartments, or $580,000 per apartment, This was twice what Seattle plans to pay.
Other cities, from NYC to Minneapolis, have tried similar approaches, buying up apartments and giving them to homeless folks with the same failed results. But as with all American politicians, doing the same failed and expensive strategy over and over is often par for the course.

2) As we all know, the Biden administration has created a humanitarian, drug cartel, criminal gang, human trafficking, coivd, drug addiction, and juvenile abuse crisis on our southern border. While Trump worked hard and was successful in protecting the sovereignty of our southern border and followed existing laws in doing so, Biden has failed miserably in this situation.

Months ago Biden put VP Kamala Harris in charge of the border crisis. To say she has failed miserably would be an understatement. But maybe she has failed miserably because she is so busy going on TV and other PR junkets that the border crisis is little more than an abstract, unimportant crisis to her. She recently appeared on the daytime show, “The View.” She recently took a top secret trip to California, leaving and returning in 24 hours and nobody knows why.

And now it appears that she will be hosting a NASA show called “Get Curious.” This show is intended to get younger Americans interested in NASA and space exploration. A nice concept but seriously, the country is falling apart: border crisis, inflation, pathetic job growth, covid, homelessness, and a whole raft of other crises across the country and she is wasting time and energy on a kids’ show about space. The show will only appear on NASA TV which means about two dozen people will eventually watch it.

Again, another set of horrible priorities form the American political class. And another example of a politician who does not know how to resolve real issues so she wastes time and resources on trivial tripe like this.

3) The next discussion is really quite bizarre and involves a number of contrived and faked Joe Biden “appearances” including the latest contrived situation that is the most bizarre of all:
  • Earlier this year a video from the White House supposedly showed Joe Biden walking down a hallway at the White House when he stops and appears to talk to someone off camera.
  • But then the top of his head severely pixelated, disappeared, and then reappears, indicating that this was not what it seemed to be, a casual moment in Biden’s life.
  • In another clip, Biden appears to stride up to a group of reporters on the White House lawn.
  • All you see is him and supposedly a sea of microphones in front of him… and then some of those microphones magically disappear behind his hands as he’s waving them around and vigorously “answering questions.”
  • But you never see any reporters and thus, the theory is there were none, that a video guy had green screened Biden supposedly looking confident and firmly answering questions on the White House lawn but in reality, that was just video editing being done.
  • In another case, there was a supposedly “live televised press conference” being done from the White House Rose Garden that was attended by Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden where they were talking about the covid relief legislation.
  • But at the same time of this supposedly “live” press conference, a guy staying at a local hotel walked out on his balcony and took a picture of the Rose Garden which was empty and thus, the “live” Rose Garden press conference was a sham.
  • And now the most outlandish and bizarre scam of all: it appears that many of Biden’s “Oval Office” press meetings and conferences and meetings with others did not take place in the Oval Office.
  • Apparently, a make believe Oval Office has been created across the street from the White House in the Eisenhower Office building.
  • Yes, any Oval Office Biden event you have seen over the past months has a good chance of being done in a studio dressed up to look like the real Oval Office.
  • The only reason we know about this, since the Biden administration has yet to admit to this charade, is that in the middle of winter the Rose Garden in the “Oval Office '' windows were in full bloom, something that does not happen in the winter.
The big question is why the need for such a fake Oval Office setup to conduct government business? For every other President, the Oval Office was big enough for meetings, press conferences, meetings with foreign heads of state,etc. Why was taxpayer money wasted constructing a fake Oval Office? So bizarre.

Well, maybe not so bizarre. Given Biden’s declining cognitive ability, given his tendency to say stupid stuff, given his tendency to freeze up and spout off gibberish, having some things done in a studio-based Oval Office and not the real Oval Office allows his handlers to manage/edit/minimize his ability to screw up. And given his mental decline, you know he has to have handlers.

This studio allows his handlers to control the situation, keep out pesky and uncontrolled media cameras, and allows for editing and fixing when Biden does or says something stupid. Biden can read off of a teleprompter that is just off camera and if he screws up, they can just rerun the “scene." Again, very bizarre to often make Biden do his job in a fake Oval Office studio. No other President has ever had to stoop to such low and shady dealings. But we've never had a President who was so cognitively decimated and out of touch either.

That will do it for today: a fake and lying Presidency, bad priorities from Kamala and the homeless problem gets more expensive but does not get resolved.
