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)One would hope that the “public servants” that serve at all levels of government would be of the highest integrity and honor. Unfortunately, that is very often not the case as we have reported so many times in this blog. Once in office, it seems that American politicians are more interested in enriching themselves, legally and illegally, than addressing the major issues facing the country.
In our previous post we discussed the Chicago alderman who has been indicted on charges of bribery and lying to the FBI. Over the years we have reported on mayors, councilmen, and members of Congress that have been caught and prosecuted on a whole variety of self enrichment crimes.
Which brings us to the latest, alleged, misbehavior of a sitting politician:
Baltimore state attorney, Marilyn Mosby, has been indicted on perjury and false statements charges related to various financial transactions.
The Baltimore Sun reported that she is accused of having claimed to have experienced covid financial hardships in order to pull money out of her retirement accounts without penalty, lied about information she put onto a mortgage application, and lied about a Florida real estate transaction in order to get a better interest rate.
Her attorney claims she is a victim or a personal witch hunt put forth by the prosecutors: “We will fight these charges vigorously, and I remain confident that once all the evidence is presented, that she will prevail against these bogus charges – charges that are rooted in personal, political and racial animus five months from her election,” her attorney, Scott Bolden, stated.
She is, of course, presumed innocent until proven guilty, but it does get so tiresome hearing about alleged and actual criminal activity from the American political class whose focus continues to be their own self enrichment and not the needs and challenges facing Americans.
2)All too frequently we have recently had to concentrate on the spike in criminal activity across the country with the biggest spike being on the west coast, an area where liberal politicians, in order to make points for their continual reelection, have defunded the police, defanged prosecutors and allowed all sorts of criminal activity to go lightly punished or not punished at all. Things have gotten so bad in Los Angeles that the LA Sheriff warned outsiders not to come to the area since the local law enforcement authorities could not guarantee visitors’ safety.
One of the biggest and most disgusting increases in crime has been the so-called “smash and grab” crimes. Organized gangs will attack a store and smash their way through the store and grab all of the goods they can before escaping. In the process they endanger the lies of the employees and customers of those stores and make doing business at that location more expensive and dangerous, resulting in stores eventually abandoning those neighborhoods to the detriment of the law-abiding citizens left behind.
And at least in LA it is not only stores that are now being gang attacked:
News reports out of the LA area report that dozens of freight cars are broken into everyday.
The criminals jump on trains at train stops to loot the packages aboard the freight cars, leaving behind empty, gutted boxes stripped of their contents.
Once the long trains stop in the center of the town, the gangs jump on the cars, cut open the locks and rummage through the boxes, looking for the best items to steal and then resell.
Railroad company, United Pacific, says that these types of thefts are up 160% in the past year and up a whopping 356% just in October 2021 vs. the previous year.
The railroad says that on average 90 cars are vandalized every day.
The railroad was critical of the legal system even when the criminals are arrested, "While criminals are being caught and arrested, charges are reduced to a misdemeanor or petty offense, and the person is back on the streets in less than 24 hours after paying a nominal fine. In fact, criminals boast to our officers that there is no consequence."
Railroad employees have also been threatened and attacked by the gangs.
As we have always said, a prime function of any government entity and the politicians that operate it is to protect the lives and property of the law-abiding citizens and businesses it serves. And now we see another example of how a government entity and the politicians that operate it are failing miserably in doing that basic government function.
3)The recent uncovering of some old emails again show the arrogance and pompousness of a traditional member of the American political class:
In a recent New York Post article, emails between Secretary of State and her top aide, Huma Abedin show how arrogant she was.
Clnton was in New York City and needed to get back to Washington D.C. for which she was scheduled to fly to via a commercial airline, like all other Americans have to do.
But that was not befitting someone as important as her so she contacted Abedin to make “alternative travel arrangements”.
In an email to Abedin, part of an email stash that Judicial Watch had received, she asked if there was a way the Air Force could transport her to D.C.: “Do you think we could get a (Air Force) plane for Westchester flight back tonight?”
Why did she need a special Air Force ride: “It’s going to rain all day and I still don’t feel great so the idea of playing a guessing game with the shuttle [commercial airline flight] is really burdensome to me. What do you think? Could be anytime that works for the Air Force.”
Certainly do not want a member of the elitist political class feeling “burdensome” do we? Do not want them to be inconvenienced by a little rain. Just another example of how the political class always thinks they are entitled, to be treated special, etc. It is no wonder they never resolve an issue facing Americans, they are so far out of touch with those Americans that support their elitist lifestyle and egos.
That will do it for today: Hillary Clinton does not want to be burdened, LA criminal gangs will attack and pillage anything knowing they will never be really punished, and another political figure gets indicted.
