Every month we devote posts to just general political class insanity that is running rampant through the country. The members of the American political class continue to show that they are incapable of efficiently operating any level of government in this country.
Even their best efforts are almost always ineffective at resolving any problem facing Americans. They spend a great amount of time not trying to improve the lives of their citizens but continually ensuring their reelection and enriching themselves, their families, and their friends in the process, all at taxpayer expense.
1)The vast number of older citizens in this country rely on their monthly Social Security checks to stay alive. And when Biden’s failed economic policies result in excessive inflation, those receiving those Social Security checks feel the pinch, probably more than any other group in the country.
And his policies have been a massive inflation failure. Early in his term, inflation hit a 40 year high. And while it eventually came down, it has consistently been running between 3-4%, 50-100% higher than what is generally considered a reasonable inflation rate, 2%. And things are not going to get any easier for senior citizens in 2025 since it looks like the cost of living increase for Social Security checks next year is expected to be around 2.6%.
The 2.6% or so will be the smallest increase since 2021. And with inflation still generally running above 3% due to Biden’s economic failures, things are going to get more difficult for tens of millions of Americans next year.
2)There are likely about 90,000 homeless American citizens living in New York City. Thus, one would hope that the city’s politicians would be laser focused on feeding and housing these homeless Americans. But as always, hoping for the best from an American politician is a fool’s wish:
New York City’s politicians and government are offering illegal immigrants camped out in the city’s shelters $4,000 to find housing and get out of the city's shelters.
The effort is not to find housing for the city’s homeless citizens but for illegal immigrants.
The initial part of the program is to give 150 illegal immigrant families $4,000 to move on.
The illegal immigrant families are also being given free $1,000 gift cards to help with moving expenses.
“The city is using every tool at its disposal to implement innovative and cost-effective solutions to help recently-arrived asylum seekers residing in shelters take the next steps in their journey,” a spokesperson for the Department of Social Services (DSS) told Fox News Digital.
Another example where politicians in sanctuary cities are more focused on making life easier for illegal immigrants than needy, homeless Ameericans in their cities.
3)Let’s jump from NYC to the west coast, the sanctuary state of California. No state has been more focused on helping illegal immigrants vs. their own needy citizens than California and its governor, Gavin Newsom.
Illegal immigrants are welcomed with open arms by Democrats in the state’s political class, the exact opposite of how they treat their own citizens. There are about 180,000 homeless state residents in the state but they are second rate citizens compared to what the state government gives to illegal immigrants.
And while NYC has been giving $4,000 to illegal immigrant families, California politicians wanted to take the free housing benefit for illegal immigrants strategy to a whole new, grandiose level:
Proposed legislation would have given illegal d taxpayer funded home loans so that illegal immigrants could more easily purchase their own homes.
The program is called California Dream For All Shared Appreciation Loan Program.
The program would provide up to 20% of a house’s purchase price for either the down payment of claiming costs.
Given that housing costs in the state are ridiculously high relative to the rest of the country, a 20% loan would be a significant chunk of change.
The immigrants receiving the loans would be part of an existing state program and the loans would be interest free, a sweetheart deal if there ever was.
State Senator Brian Jones objected to giving the loans to illegal immigrants in a common sense statement: “Many legal California residents can’t afford a home in their own state. Instead of addressing the housing crisis, radical Democrat lawmakers want to help illegal immigrants buy houses with the gift of taxpayer funds.”
The amazing part of this legislation is that the governor actually vetoed the legislation. This is the kind of program that Newsom usually loves, taking care of illegal immigrants vs. taking care of his needy state residents. But he actually realized that there was not enough money in the program's budget to handle illegal immigrant demand.
The fact that the state government faces a budget deficit in the tens of billions of dollars may have also been a factor in his decisions to kill the program. But even though illegal immigrants will not be receiving interest free taxpayer financed home loans at this time, it does illustrate another example where American politicians care more about illegal immigrants than American citizens.
4)It has always been our opinion, based on massive amounts of videos, articles, and statistics, that the 2020 Presidential election was corrupted in many, many different ways. And recent dealings in Washington provide another angle that shows that the American voter was cheated out of an honest election in 2020:
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently sent a letter to the House Judiciary Committee.
In the letter he admitted that the Biden administration had demanded that Facebook censor political opponents.
Specifically, Biden’s FBI pressured Facebook to censor the New York Post’s reporting on the lie that Hunter Biden’s laptop was part of a Russian hacking scheme.
According to Zuckerberg: “The FBI warned us about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead up to the 2020 election. That fall, when we saw a New York Post story reporting on corruption allegations involving then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s family, we sent that story to fact-checkers for review and temporarily demoted it while waiting for a reply. It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story. We’ve changed our policies and processes to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
Biden was afraid that the contents of the laptop would hurt his election chances so suppressing the reality and knowledge of Hunter’s laptop was a top priority.
Post election polls found that one in six Biden voters would not have voted for him if they were aware of the truth about Hunter’s laptop.
This is a serious First Amendment violation in which the truth was suppressed by the Democrats, impinging on the honesty of the 2020 Presidential election.
Enough insanity for today: Facebook and the Democrats violate our First Amendment rights, illegal immigrants continue to be more important than needy American citizens and life is going to get financially more difficult for Social Security recipients in 2025.
