September, 2024, Part 7, Political Class Insanity: Stealing Money From Homeless Students, Biden Is The First Part Time President, Secret Service Failures, and More

 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)All too often we have reviewed the multiple, major failures of the Biden administration: failed economic policies, failed diplomacy policies, failed energy programs, failed immigration policies, etc. It is very difficult to argue that he has not been the worst President in recent history.


Beside not having the intellectual ability to put forth effective programs to resolve the nation’s  problems, consider the following reality:


  • According to the Republican National Committee, Biden has spent about 40% of his Presidency away from  the White House on private time.

  • That comes out to about 532 days in about three and a half years.

  • Most of that time has been spent at his private residences or on personal trips.

  • Trump spent 26% of his Presidential time on personal trips.

  • Obama and Reagan spent about 11% of their time in office on personal trips away from the White House with Carter spending just 79 days away from the White House.

  • In his first 18 months as President, Biden spent a whopping 150 days at his homes in Delaware.

  • In addition, a recent CBS/YouGov poll  found that 72% of those polled doubted that Biden has the “mental” and “cognitive health” to complete his term.


Failed policies at every turn while Biden is constantly out of town on personal and vacation trips, no surprises given his priorities. And doubts that even if he was at The White House he would have the cognitive capacity to function at a high level of effectiveness.


2)In our previous post, we discussed the corruption and wasting of taxpayer wealth in a small Illinois town by their current mayor. But corruption and wasting of taxpayer wealth is also present in large cities:


  • New York City Department of Education (DOE) employees have been accused of wasting taxpayer dollars that were intended to help homeless students.

  • According to a study by the Special Commissioner of Investigation, six DOE employees used taxpayer money, money intended for homeless students, to treat themselves to family trips to Disney World, Washington D.C. and New Orleans.

  • Linda Wilson, a region manager of the DOE, has been tagged as the alleged leader of the scandal and financial abuse.

  • She allegedly used the funds to take her daughters on city-funded trips and encouraged others in the DOE to do the same.


It takes a lot of depravity to take funds targeted to help homeless kids and use it for your own pleasure and use. It is bad when any government employee or politician misuses tax revenue for their own self enrichment but to take it away from the lives of homeless kids is especially despicable.


3)Biden is no stranger to making racist comments. We have previously documented many, but not all, of his racist comments over the years at the following link:


https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2020/10/october-2020-part-3-political-class.html


But he recently made another racist and stupid comment when he claimed that his administration created 2 million “black jobs.” What does that mean? What is a “black job?” Stupid, insensitive comment from someone has been insensitive regarding his racist comments for decades.


4)Fortunately, another assassination attempt against Trump was narrowly avoided this past week down in Florida. This obviously was another gross failure of the Secret Service who allowed a potential assassin to get within several hundred yards of the President while carrying an automatic rifle.


Biden  issued a statement that he was relieved that Trump was unharmed. But this was the same President who three months ago stated that: “I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye."


So what is it Joe? You are relieved Trump was unhurt but you still wanted to put a bullseye on him, a divisive and  violent image that encourages all kinds of nut jobs to try to kill the opposition. But no surprise. Biden has issued any number of divisive and violent statements over the years as have many other liberal Americans,  no wonder the country is so divided.


5)We have spent years reviewing the many failures that exist within the Federal government:


  • We have a Department of Education that does not educate anyone.

  • We have an Energy Department that has not delivered clean, efficient and inexpensive energy options.

  • We have a State Department that would rather hand out taxpayer money for gay causes around the world than work on the tough diplomatic issues in our times.

  • We have a Defense Department that eats up almost $800 billion of taxpayer funds every year but whose accounting processes and systems have been deemed unauditable.

  • And we have a Congress that has not resolved a major issue during our lifetimes as Social Security and Medicare hustle towards bankruptcy, obesity and drug addiction kill untold thousands of people every year, we have a  $35,000,000,000,000 national debt that rises every minute of every day.


But at least over the years we had at least the appearance that the Secret Service was a professional, efficient, and well oiled operation. That perception came crashing down as we uncovered how inept they were in protecting Trump in not one, but two, assassination attempts in the span of three months. And the news just keeps getting worse:


  • The head of the Secret Service resigned after the first assassination attempt and after her embarrassing and unprepared appearance in front of Congress.

  • And recently a number of high ranking Secret service personnel unexpectedly announced their retirement.

  • These announcement may be because disclosure of an internal investigation is about to go public and it appears the news will not be positive for these sudden retirees.

  • The investigation was a result of security lapses related to the assassination attempt on Trump back in June in Pennsylvania.

  • According to a Washington Post account, the major failure was the Secret Service failure to have local  police secure the rooftop perch where the gunman set up shop.

  • According to Senator Richard Blumenthal: “I think the American people are going to be shocked, astonished, and appalled by what we will report to them about the failures by the Secret Service in this assassination attempt on the former president.

  • The report is also expected to disclose that the Secret Service radio room, tasked with monitoring potential threats, lacked the capability to receive real-time alerts from local police who were overseeing the crowd and outer perimeter.


Thus, it looks like the Secret Service is no better in doing its job than any other Federal government agency. Unfortunately when they do not do their job it could result in a tragic and fatal disaster..


Enough insanity for today: Secret Service failures, Biden’s hypocrisy on political violence, stealing funds intended for homeless students, Biden’s “black  jobs” racist comment,  and Joe “Vacation” Biden, the first part time President in our lifetime.
