I think most folks realize that the American political class is pretty inept at anything it does and what it oversees the Federal government do. They spend a lot of taxpayer money, they never come up with a solution to a problem, they tend to get very rich off of their political status and elected office, and they generally are not the highest caliber of people from an integrity, morality, and honesty perspective:
1)Maurice Imhoff apparently is a 20 year old who is running for election to represent the 46th House District in the Michigan legislature. Pretty impressive that such a young person is running for office and until recently, had the endorsements of seasoned state Democratic politicians.
I say recently since that support has suddenly vanished and possibly for good reason:
Another Michigan resident, Mya Connell, recently went on social media and accused Imhoff of threatening to shoot up Northwest Middle School in 2016.
At that time, Ms. Connell and Imhoff were both students at that school.
There must be some credibility to the story since House Minority leader, Donna Lasinski, issued a statement claiming that the allegations of violence were disturbing and need to be taken seriously.
At the same time, she withdrew her support for Imhoff’s candidacy.
Imhoff and his campaign did not immediately react to the allegations.
Area news sources claim that they have confirmed the allegations via police reports they examined.
Fortunately, he did not shoot up the school. Fortunately, someone came forward to point his history since I would assume that most people would not want to elect someone who threatened to shoot up a middle school. And why this is all very distressing, it makes you wonder what background checks, if any, the local Democratic Party did before supporting Imhoff’s candidacy. Insane that this history was not found out BEFORE he became a representative of their party.
2)We did a large number of posts two years ago, proving, at least to ourselves, that Joe Biden did not win the 2020 Presidential election and thus, he was not elected to office, he was installed into the Presidency because of a very corrupt election process. A sample of that analysis can be found at:
https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2020/11/election-2020-part-1-first-invalid.html
Those of us who pointed out the varied and many ways that the election was corrupted were ridiculed and belittled by those people that had an intense hatred of Trump and were willing to overlook the corruption of the election process and the corruption of Joe Biden the politician.
But recent news does show a little vindication to those of us that have data, video, and statistics on our side to prove that the 2020 election was stolen and was corrupt:
An election software company’s CEO, Eugene Yu of Lansing, Michigan, was recently arrested in Los Angeles.
He is accused of illegally/improperly storing two million election workers’ personal information on computer servers based in Communist China.
He is the CEO of a company called Konnech
The Post Millennial outlet reported that: “‘Prosecutors learned of the data breach this year through a ‘separate investigation’ undertaken by the District attorney’s office, according to Gascón. He would not disclose the other investigation or exactly when his office became aware of the breach,’ the LA Times reported.”
The company denied that any wrongdoing had occurred.
Now maybe nothing shady happened, maybe the Chinese did not access the data stowed inside their country. But obviously someone in the DA’s office in LA thinks someone broke the law and Yu is the person who they arrested. Anyhow, another blotch on the assertion that nothing shady was done relative to the 2020 election.
3)And it appears that Mr. Yu is not the only person under investigation and close to being arrested:
According to reporting by the Daily Wire, Federal prosecutors allegedly have enough information to charge Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, with an array of crimes and criminal behavior.
These alleged crimes include tax evasion and lying to investigators about a weapons purchase.
And it is not just conservative news outlets making these reports.
The left leaning, Democrat loving Washington Post reported that Federal agents had “determined months ago” that a reasonable and solid criminal case could be made against the younger Biden.
Now the question is whether the U.S. Attorney for the state of Delaware will go forward and execute a criminal case based on the findings of investigators.
Apparently the Feds started investigating Hunter Biden back in 2018 and his alleged shady financial dealings with overseas players.
Thai initial investigation effort got larger and larger and involved more and more Federal entities as the focus became whether Hunter had paid all of the taxes he was supposed to pay off of his foreign dealings, whether he lied on an ATF Form 4473 when he tried to purchase a firearm, and possibly foreign lobbying crimes.
Biden’s attorney denied the allegations and attacked the Federal agents and agencies that may have leaked the investigation results to the public, trying to deflect away from the actual criminal accusations.
But it is not just the Federal investigators that are interested in Hunter Biden’s activities, since according to the Daily Wire article: “ A group of over 30 GOP senators wrote a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland last month pushing for a special counsel to protect the ongoing Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into Hunter Biden from politicization. The senators cited whistle blower accounts alleging that top officials at the FBI quashed concerning reports about the Biden scion" prior to being seen prior to the 2020 election.
From Russia to Ukraine to China, Hunter Biden flew around the world and used his family name to make himself very rich. Whether he paid taxes on those riches or broke other laws remains to be seen but it is going to get very interesting if the Republicans take back the House in next month’s elections and the resultant investigations they are bound to open up. That would be a movie I would pay to see. Oh wait, that move was already made:

4)Far too many times we have talked about the disaster that is the city of Chicago. For years, thousands of residents have been shot, killed and maimed by skyrocketing gang violence in the streets. Higher and higher taxes paying for fewer and fewer government services has led city, and state of Illinois residents and businesses, to flee to other safer, less heavily taxed and better quality of life locations around the country.
And it is not just small, mom and pop businesses who are fleeing the city. Major companies like Boeing, Caterpillar, and Citadel Management have moved their business locations out of the city, not wanting to subject their employees to the escalating street violence they were facing just coming to work everyday. And the out migration recently included another major Chicago employer:
Food giant, Tyson Foods, recently announced that it would be moving its corporate staff out of the offices it has in the city of Chicago.
Those jobs will be relocated to Springdale, Arkansas.
According to the company: "The move will foster closer collaboration, enhance team member agility and enable faster decision making, positioning Tyson to win with its team members, customers, and consumers."
Nice PR statement but one has to think that the declining quality of life in the city along with the rising crime had something to do with moving out of the city.
Citadel Management founder, Ken Griffin moved his operations out of Chciago to Miami where the murder rate is half what it is in Chicago and the tax burden is far less.
Mr. Griffin came right and said the obvious regarding his company move in that the crime rate in Chicago had motivated the company move out of the city.
Chicago has now probably entered into a financial death spiral that will eventually crush the city’s financial viability and force it into bankruptcy. As crime and taxes continually rise, more and more tax paying businesses and residents move out. As more businesses and residents move out, less tax revenue flows into the city coffers which requires budget cuts and a lower quality of life (fewer police officers, fewer firefighters, fewer teachers) which drives more businesses and residents out of the city. This reduces taxes even more and the death spiral is in play.
And the current mayor, Lori Lightfoot, and her henchmen in the city government have no clue how to fix what continues to be broken.
That will do it for today’s wide ranging political class insanity: a political candidate once threatened to shoot up his middle school, a Presidential son may get indicted for major crimes, more potential corruption regarding our voting processes, and Chicago continues to be a dumpster fire.
