June, 2021, Political Class Insanity, Part 2: Biden's Approval In Free Fall, The White House Might Get A Cat, Violence In NYC and More

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) We have often talked about how we should expect our politicians and government workers to be honest, hardworking, and always looking out for the good of the taxpayer. That we would hope they would be of the highest character since we are paying their salaries to serve us.

But that is rarely the case as recently illustrated by a former high ranking city employee in San Francisco:
  • Mohammed Nuru was once the high ranking city employee and director of San Francisco’s public works entity.
  • It was his job to clean, maintain and organize repairs for the city government.
  • He was nicknamed “Mr. Clean” for his role in keeping the city clean.
  • But he was recently arrested for trying to rob a man at knife point.
  • Yes, a former city employee, who was probably pulling down over $100,000 a year in city salary, was arrested for robbery.
  • The altercation and arrest took place at a food bank where Nuru was a volunteer.
  • He apparently wanted to steal a bag of potato chips from another man at the food bank and pulled a knife to emphasize his desire for chips.
  • This incident comes on top of a previous criminal charge involving public corruption.

Nice guy, corruption and knife wielding, a fine upstanding public servant. Allegedly flashing a knife for a bag of potato chips no less.

2) It has also been a strong belief that for a democracy to endure, a free, aggressive, fair, and professional press is needed to inform voters and citizens of the critical issues of our times and to make sure politicians stay in line. Unfortunately, today in this country we do not have a fair, professional, aggressive,and unbiased press industry. Examples abound by the thousands of how the mainstream press is no longer professional, no longer journalistic, no longer the watchdog on the politicians and government we need to have a free, thriving democracy.

This was again illustrated at a recent White House briefing with White House Press secretary Jen Psaki:
  • Keep in mind that we have a criminal, drug cartel, and humanitarian crisis at the border.
  • Inflation is becoming a bigger and bigger concern in all of our lives.
  • The Middle East is simmering and flaring up in violent and fatal ways.
  • China is trying to take over the world.
  • Hackers from around the world are attacking every component of our lives.
  • There are a lot of ripe and juicy stories out there for American journalists to pursue and help resolve.
  • But all of these cases listed above took a backseat to discussion at that recent White House briefing.
  • The main issue the press was worried about that day was whether or not the Biden family was going to get a cat as a pet.
  • Yes, the potential for a First Cat.
  • Brittany Shepherd, of Yahoo News, asked this critical question of Jen Psaki, the rest of the crises in the world be damned: "Any update on the White House cat? Is that something that's still happening here? Our readers are asking us a lot."
  • Rather than point out to the Yahoo News reporter that the question was not critical relative to the rest of the world, Psaki actually wasted everyone’s time by actually answering the question: "I bet. I've been joking, although maybe it might be true, that we're waiting for a bad news day for that to come out. If you see a tail wagging coming out of the briefing room, you'll know something bad is about to happen. I don't have any update on the cat."
Seriously, who cares about a hypothetical cat when people are dying on the border, dying in the Middle East, dying from the virus??? This is what passes for journalism in this country today in a time of crises? This is what a White House press secretary wastes time on? So pathetic from a journalism professionalism perspective.

3) It has always been our contention that a very, very basic function of government is to protect the lives and property of its citizens. If the government did nothing else, as long as they did that well we would be ahead of the game.

But alas, many government entities around the country do not do that well at all despite being a basic government function. Many, many times we have talked about the carnage that grips Chicago everyday with the dozens of shootings and many, many murders every week. Over the past year, criminal activity and violence has spiked in many liberal, Democratic cities around the country as they “defund the police” and then watch crime skyrocket.

But Chicago is not alone:
  • According to the NYC Police Department, the same department that Mayor de Blasio stripped of over $1 billion in funding, the number of shootings in the city is up 86% year over year through May
  • Over the recent Memorial day weekend, 13 people were shot in NYC including a Bronx 15 year old boy who was killed in a shooting.
Again, a basic tenet of government is protecting citizens and a basic tenet of American politicians is that they fail miserably in their duty.

4) We have never been a big fan of just about any politician but are certainly a fan by any stretch of the imagination of Joe Biden. We have laid out a number of times of how much he is a sexual predator, a racist, and pathological liar, as outlined extensively in the following post:


More recently we ran a series of three posts where we already could document with numbers and reality that his Presidency was failing already, less than five months in:




And it now appears that the rest of the country is also picking up on our contention that he is a failure already:
  • A new Rasmussen poll found that a majority of American believe Joe Biden is the weakest President of modern times.
  • Only 32% of poll respondents think Biden is a strong President compared to others.
  • 43% “believe Biden is a weaker commander in chief than most recent presidents.”
  • 51% of Democrats believe Biden is a strong President, 12% of Republicans think he is a strong President, and 25% of independents think he is a strong President.
  • Although a majority of Democrats think he is a strong President (51%), that means 49% of even Democrats don't think he is a strong President.
  • 75% of Republicans “think Biden is a weaker commander in chief compared to most recent presidents, as do 13% of Democrats and 44% of unaffiliated voters.”
  • The majority of respondents (54%) think that Biden is less aggressive than recent Presidents “in pushing what is best for America,” while only 24 percent think Biden is more aggressive.
  • In less than five months Biden is in free fall and taking the country with him.
So, we have another corrupt and possibly violent former government official running loose with a knife in San Francisco, the pathetic priorities of the mainstream press, more defund the police idiocy that endangers more and more Americans every day, and the nosediving, negative perception of Biden’s Presidency.

February, 2020, Part 5, Political Class Insanity: Bloomberg Lies, San Francisco Corruption, and A Senate Democrat Says Screw The Constitution

It is another month which means it is again time to review the latest political class insanity from Washington and around the world. Political class insanity takes many forms including the wasting of taxpayer wealth, criminal fraud within government programs, inane and stupid political quotes and actions, the inability to create and implement effective and efficient government programs, stupid and ill performing economic policies and strategies, and other forms of insanity that continue to evolve and surprise and shock us.

Let’s get started:

1) Over the recent past we have posted way too many posts on how screwed up San Francisco is. This is a city where it is now not against the law to defecate, urinate, or shoot up illegal drugs on the streets of the city. This is a city where they had to put together a five person hazmat cleanup team whose sole purpose is to go around the city daily and clean up human defecation and urination on the streets. They even have a phone app where citizens can notify them of locations where they need to come and clean up.

Well, it seems the guy in charge of this operation has gotten himself in a bit of a jam:
  • The Public Works director of the city, Mohammed Nuru, has been arrested and is being held on a whopping $2 million bail.
  • His arrest is a result of an FBI investigation.
  • He named himself “Mr.CleanSF” on Twitter but apparently got his hands a little dirty when he first agreed to help the FBI in their investigation and then backed out of the agreement.
  • He is being accused of accepting expensive gifts from a developer, offering up a bribe, and slipping a friend insider information.
  • Given he was in charge of an annual $312 million budget, he was probably making some good money from a salary perspective but apparently that was not good enough.
  • His alleged transgressions were enough to get multiple FBI agents involved who sought and got wiretaps, all of which resulted in a large bail figure so there is likely something foul smelling in this city, both literally and figuratively.
Another crooked government official in a crooked political system.

2) Mike Bloomberg is really, really rich. As a result he has decided that if he spends hundreds of millions of dollars, he may be able to buy his way to the Presidency. He has already spent almost $300 million of his own money with little results in the Democratic race for President. We have lamented how many hungry and homeless Americans that $300 million could have fed but that is a discussion for another day.

But Bloomberg is also a regular politician, having been mayor of New York City for three terms, besides being very rich and is certainly not below outright lies when it comes to political campaigning. In a recent ad he admonished Trump for putting illegal immigrants that sneak into this country in cages and how horrible Trump is. 

But there is a small problem. The video he used in the ad to prove Trump is inhumane turns out to be AP video footage from 2014 when Trump was not President, Obama was. Now, is Bloomberg that devious that he would lie to us or is he and his staff so inept that they did not check the vintage and date of the video footage? In either case, not a trait one wants for President, a pathetic liar or just plain incompetent.

Of the following two pictures comes from the 2014 AP story and the other is from the Bloomberg ad, see any similarities:



Another comparison:


3) We do not talk a lot about Hawaiian Senator Mazie Hirono, she is one of the quieter members of the Senate. But when she does talk, she almost always puts her foot in her mouth. We once reported that when she was asked how to increase voter turnout, she went into a detailed explanation that asserted that Democrats were smarter than the rest of us: “I wish I had the answer to that because one of the things that we, Democrats, have a really hard time is connecting to people’s hearts instead of [their heads]. We’re really good at shoving out all the information that touch people here [pointing to her head] but not here [pointing to her heart]. We have a really hard time doing that and one of the reasons, it was told to me at one of our retreats, was that we Democrats know so much. That is true. And we kind of have to tell everyone how smart we are and so we have a tendency to be very left brain.”Yeah, Senator, you Democrats are so smart. As I write this, Democrats in Iowa are trying to figure out how to add since they still don't know who won the Iowa caucuses last night. So smart. If you want other examples of her ineptness, just enter her last name in the search box above.But according to a recent article on the Freedom Outpost website by Alicia Luke, she apparently doesn't understand the Constitution and the rule of law or doesn’t care about either. According to the article, “Sen. Mazie Hirono said that she does not “care” about the “legal” and “constitutional defenses” that President Trump’s legal defense used during his Senate impeachment trial.So according to the Senator, if we do not like someone or someone is a political opponent we can just discard their legal and Constitutional protections and principles: “I don’t care what kind of nice, little, legal, Constitutional defenses that they came up with.” This is a sitting U.S. Senator saying screw the Constitution, we need to get rid of Trump despite his legal protections as a U.S. citizen and throw him out of office regardless of his defense or facts of the case.If this type of dangerous and stupid thinking does not smack of Orwell’s “1984” I do not know what does.So “Mr. Clean”in San Francisco gets his hands dirty, Bloomberg lies about illegal immigration, and a sitting U.S. Senator does not care about the principles of the Constitution. Insanity.
