The latest political class insanity from around the world:
1)We have often discussed the reality that the 2020 Presidential election was corrupt and criminally negligent in so many different ways. We were led to believe that Joe Biden got well over 80 million votes while no one had ever gotten close to that many votes even when adjusted for a larger population, Even Obama who had very high approval ratings going into his first election, did not come close to 81 million votes.
The problems with the voting integrity were many including outright fraud, bad voting lists, multiple voting, etc. And given what Judicial Watch has uncovered, there is even more evidence that our voting processes, the foundation of our democracy, have been in very sad, and corruptible condition for a long time:
Judicial Watch’s analysis and lawsuits over the past few years has resulted in the removal of 5 million bogus names from voters’ rolls.
These millions were found to be ineligible across almost a dozen states.
Kentucky removed 735,000 ineligible voters from their rolls.
New York City by itself removed 918,139 bad registrations.
Los Angeles County removed 1.2 million.
Other ineligible voters were taken off of voter rolls in Pennsylvania, Colorado, Kentucky, and Ohio.
Judicial Watch is still working to clean up voter rolls in Illinois, Oregon, and California.
The good news is that these voting atrocities have been found and fixed. The bad news is we have no idea how much more integrity needs to be brought to the voting integrity across the country and help prevent another election steal like in 2020.
2)One of the main tenets of our democracy has been the separation of church and state. This concept has been very valuable in order to not allow the state/government/politicians to force others to use their preferred religious affiliations. Government and any kind of organized religion should always be at an arm’s length arrangement.
Apparently the governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, never got that message:
He recently announced that the state government of Pennsylvania is giving a Pennsylvania mosque $5 million of taxpayer wealth.
Not only is this a blatant violation of the separation of church and state concept but the imam of this particular mosque once declared that “Jews are the vilest people.”
Given that Shapiro is Jewish, this makes no sense on top of the fact that taxpayer funds should not be directed to any religious organization, especially one full of hate.
According to local TV station WHYY in Philadelphia, the location of this mosque, the imam has often hurled very harsh and disgusting words fallah,or the Jewish people, declaring that Arabs were superior to all races, Jews were the “enemies of Allah,” and that Islam needs to be imposed upon the world.
According to Shapiro’s office, the $5 million is to be used for the mosque’s community center which will add 12 classrooms and other educational spaces for 300 students.
According to Shapiro: "This is a moment where I think communities are fearful of the federal government and that's deeply concerning to me and I want the Muslim community to know that they're welcome here in Pennsylvania. I've got their back and I'm going to protect them and I'm going to do everything in my power to ensure that their rights are protected here in the commonwealth."
So much for hateful speech and intentions. Shapiro gives this religious organization $5 million of taxpayer dollars? This is a very slippery slope: if he gave the money to a Muslim religious organization, why not give money to a Christian organization? Why not give money to a Jewish organization? Separation of church and state, it is what keeps each other out of each other’s business.
3)Food stamps, now called SNAP, are a Federal government program designed to provide nutritious food to those in our society that are facing tough economic times so that they and their families can still get food for their needs. It is a noble program to help the down and out in our society, no one should go hungry in the richest country in the world.
But SNAP should not be designed to allow those receiving the benefits to indulge in non-essential food and drinks. It was designed to provide nutrition to those in need. Which is why I never understood why SNAP dollars and benefits could be used for candy, cakes, soda and other non-nutritious foods, foods that are actually not healthy for human consumption.
But politicians in several states are FINALLY realizing how counterproductive it is for taxpayers to be subsidizing unhealthy food choices of those on SNAP:
At least 15 state governments are enacting legislation that would forbid the use of SNAP benefits for the unhealthy products listed above.
In Idaho, state health officials are requesting a waiver from the Federal government which allows them to ban the use of SNAP funds for candy and soda.
No one has a right to government taxpayer money to buy sugary and unhealthy food for themselves and their families. The program is meant to provide nutritious meals and food to families in need, not contribute to the national obesity epidemic. Finally, some good sense from some American politicians.
4)We have already talked about some of the insane and wasteful spending that the Federal government has indulged in over the years, wasting billions and billions of taxpayer dollars in the process:
$7.9 million to teach Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid “binary-gendered language.”
$20 million for a new Sesame Street show in Iraq.
$4.5+ million to “combat disinformation” in Kazakhstan.
$1.5 million for “art for inclusion of people with disabilities.”
$2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala.
More immense wastes of money like this can be found at the following link and those that followed:

We will shortly be doing an extensive review of recently uncovered wasteful government spending beyond what we have already documented. However, the following waste example really caught our eye in that it involved the sending of $600 million in US taxpayer funds halfway around the world:
The Prime Minister of Australia recently held an emergency meeting.
Why should that concern Americans you might ask?
Well, the Trump administration rightly decided that sending $600 million of taxpayer money to universities in Australia for their research may not be a good use of taxpayer wealth, terminating these subsidies, and this cutting of funds triggered the prime minister.
The universities that have had their US funding cut include the Australian National University, Monash University, University of Technology Sydney, University of NSW, Charles Darwin University, Macquarie University and UNSW.
The funding was cut after the universities were asked to justify their research funding usage.
In a case of unbridled gall, the President of the Australian National Tertiary Education Union called on the Australian government to do something to restore the funding of US taxpayer dollars: “The federal government must push back on the Trump administration’s blatant foreign interference in our independent research in the strongest possible terms.”
So stopping the wasting of US taxpayer dollars is “blatant interference” in their lives, excuse me.
How dare we stop sending hundreds of millions of dollars overseas, even though we have millions of Americans who are homeless, hungry, in need of medical attention, and health insurance, how dare we blatantly interfere with their research half a world away. Fortunately, the current administration is starting to protect American interests and taxpayer wealth.
Enough political class insanity for today: more than half a billion dollars shipped around the world, finally some SNAP logic and common sense, blatant violation of church and state, and finally cleaning up voter rolls, saving our democracy one fake voter at a time.
