Biden's Failed Immigration Policies and the Death and Violence It Has Caused To Americans - Part 1

 We have often discussed the reality that Biden’s border policies have been an unbelievable failure. Illegal drugs are flooding into the country, violent South and Central American gangs setting up shop in  U.S. cities, and local city and state budgets are being adjusted so that illegal immigrants can be fed, sheltered, and given medical attention, stealing government services from American taxpayers.

But one particularly distressing and tragic result of Biden’s failed immigration policies is the danger that have befallen innocent Americans at the hands of violent illegal immigrants who never should have been admitted to the country. This is not to say there should be no immigration into this country.  But there has to be a rigid screening process so that violent people do not get into the country and carry out heinous, often fatal, attacks on innocent Americans.

1)Franklin Pena is a 26 year old Venezuelan illegal immigrant who was recently charged with murdering a 12 year old child, Jocelyn Nungaraay, in  Houston, Texas. Her body was found in a local creek after Pena allegedly murdered her.

His alleged accomplice, Johan Jose Martinze Rangel was also arrested and charged with murder after her body was found under a bridge with her limbs bound.  The victim was severely beaten and she died from strangulation.

Both men had been apprehended by border patrol agents but had been released into the general population. Pena had removed a monitoring ankle bracelet so that authorities could not track him once he was released.

2)Meanwhile, out in  Indiana:

• A set of illegal  immigrants were recently arrested after they allegedly kidnapped a 14 year old girl.

• They then took her to Missouri.

• The five kidnappers were in the country illegally and were from Mexico and Honduras.

• They were allegedly going to sex traffic the kidnapped girl to California.

Fortunately, an alert law enforcement officer intercepted the car that was being driven by the kidnappers and saved the girl.

3)Out in Colorado:

• A 64 year old  grandfather, Scott MIller, was recently killed in an auto crash, allegedly caused by an illegal immigrant.

• The illegal immigrant has a history of drug and alcohol related arrests.

• He has also been deported 16 times but kept sneaking back  into the country.

• The illegal  immigrant, Ignacio Cruz-Mendoza, faces charges of vehicular assault and vehicular homicide.

• Immigration agents reported that he had actually had been deported two weeks before the accident, showing how easy it is to sneak into the country.

• The illegal  immigrant was actually working for a Colorado trucking company and was driving the company’s truck even though he did not have a valid drivers license.

Another senseless death of an innocent American citizen.

4)Things have gotten so bad in Texas that the state government now operates a Ten  Most Wanted List of Illegal Immigrants in order to help track down dangerous illegal immigrants. According to governor Greg Abbott: "This new Texas 10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants List forms a key part of our strategy to uphold law and order in the state, amidst what we see as a crisis at our border.”

Those on the list have  committed crimes including murder, sexual assault, and  burglary.

5)In South Carolina:

• An illegal immigrant from Mexico recently caused a fatal auto collision that cost the life of an American citizen on a motorcycle.

• The illegal immigrant hit the motorcyclist and then pinned the motorcyclist against a school bus.

• He did not have a valid driver's license.

Another state, another American death.

6)But unfortunately it is quite possible that American deaths due to Biden’s failed immigration policies could get much higher very quickly:

• The Department of Homeland Security does not know the location of about 50 illegal immigrants who are officially “subjects of concern,“ i.e. they have high potential to be terrorists.

• They are part of more than 400 potential terrorists that have entered the country via an ISIS affiliated smuggling network according to NBC News.

• More than 150 potential ISIS terrorists have been arrested, some have been deported, and the locations of 200 are known.

• But that still leaves 50 or so roaming the country in parts unknown.

• These folks are likely from countries like Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, and Russia.

• According to former FBI counterterrorism section chief Chirstopher O’Leary: "The fact that the whereabouts were unknown is clearly alarming. I believe the [U.S.] is scrambling to locate these individuals, and using the immigration charges is not uncommon." 

• Different news reports said that 8 Tajik natives, with suspected ties to ISIS,  were recently arrested in  Philadelphia and that over 1,500 Tajiks are known to have entered the country during the Biden years.

Very scary. ISIS is one of the most dangerous and cut throat terrorist groups in the world and dozens of their members may be loose in the country. It is one thing to be killed by an illegal immigrant driving without a license. It is a much graver concern knowing what these types of people are capable of and who have been able to walk into the country because of failed immigration policies.

Innocent Americans, just going about their lives, have been killed at the hands of illegal immigrants, lives that would still be with us if Biden’s immigration plans had not failed so miserably. And things are not  likely to get any better, or safer, given the many, many millions of illegal  immigrants that have come into the country,  many of whom  are not good people.

Last note: this is by far NOT a comprehensive list of Americans who have had their lives taken or violently changed by Biden’s failed immigration policies. More to come in  subsequent posts.

The Historic American Political Class Failure In Afghanistan - A TRILLION Dollars Spent, Thousands of Lives Lost and We End Up Where We Started Twenty Years Ago

 Everyone with a pulse and interest in this country should be aware of the disaster that has unfolded in Afghanistan over the past week. The U.S. supported government collapsed in record speed, allowing the terrorist group, the Taliban, to regain control of the country with disastrous consequences:

• Thousands of American civilians are trapped behind Taliban road blockades with no way to get to the Kabul airport which is now the only way to get out of the country, leaving their lives at the mercy of some of the worst tyrants ever.

• Already there are news reports of American civilians being stopped and beaten on the streets as they try to get to the airport.

• The Taliban are going house to house to look for foreigners and those Afghan citizens that helped the Americans during our stay in the country, with news reports coming out that those folks are being killed on the spot by the Taliban.

• Defeated terrorist groups, al Qaeda and ISIS, are regrouping in the country with likely dire and fatal consequences for the rest of the world quite soon.

• Billions of dollars of high tech military equipment has fallen into the hands of the Taliban that will obviously be used for nefarious purposes down the road, either against other Afghan citizens or other countries’ citizens.

• Women and girls are already suffering under the Taliban with reports of women being accosted or, in at least one case, shot down in the street for not wearing a burqa in public.

What a mess and disaster (in fact, “disaster” is the exact word used by a CNN reporter on site, which is extraordinary since CNN is not prone to call it like it is when it applies to a Democrat like Biden.) And the incompetence of the Biden administration is much too great to go into detail today:

• Biden says the Taliban are freely letting Americans go to the airport for evacuation but then someone in his administration said, about ten minutes later, that is not the case. 

• Biden says he will not withdraw our military forces until every American is evacuated but at about the same time his Defense Department is saying that is not the case.

• Biden says the Taliban are not harming American civilians but news reports claim that Americans are being beaten on the streets.

Again, we could go on for days regarding the completely inept and fatal plans and actions of the Biden administration regarding the failure of protecting Americans in the country. It is simple logic in a military crisis that the order of action is to first evacuate civilians, the next act is to remove or destroy military equipment and then the military evacuates itself. Biden got the whole thing ass backwards, withdrawing American armed forces first and then everything fell apart, civilian endangerment and military equipment not destroyed.

We will get into his disastrous handling of the whole affair in future posts. But today, let’s do a little history lesson and review how the American political class, and the U.S. military and Federal government bureaucracy it is responsible for, led us down a twenty year rat hole that has left us worse off than when we began:

• Recall that George Bush ordered military operations into Afghanistan with the sole purpose of finding and killing Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind for the 9-11 attacks that killed almost 3,000 Americans.

• The secondary objective was to destroy the Taliban, the terrorist group that had protected Bin Laden and the group that was running the country.

• But even after Bin Laden was hunted down and killed in Pakistan and the Taliban were removed from power, the U.S. military presence continued in Afghanistan.

• According to Brown University’s study of the twenty year debacle that has occurred, the American taxpayer paid out about one TRILLION dollars for the American presence in the country, thousands of American soldiers were killed and wounded, and hundreds of thousands Afghan civilians were killed. 

And where do we stand today: 

• The Taliban are back in control of the country and appear to be just as ruthless, violent, and deadly as they were twenty years ago.

• The Taliban actually control more of the country now than they did twenty years ago, back when there was a pretty robust counter Taliban faction in the country.

• The Taliban, courtesy of the American taxpayer, are now much better armed than they were twenty years ago.

• The Taliban now have potentially thousands of American civilian hostages, something they did not have twenty years ago.

While Biden absolutely butchered the withdrawal from the country, the entire American DC political class shares responsibility for twenty years of wasted wealth, wasted lives, and wasted opportunities. How many homeless Americans could have been sheltered with that TRILLION dollars over the past twenty years? How many hungry American families could have been fed with that TRILLION dollars over the past twenty years? How many drug addicted Americans could have been treated with that TRILLION dollars for their addiction over the past twenty years? How many bridges, roads, and other infrastructure could have been fixed with that TRILLION dollars over the past twenty years?

Any member of Congress who has been in their Congressional seat over the past twenty years is responsible for the currently unfolding disaster today in Afghanistan and the wasted resources spent in vain over the past twenty years. Every President every Vice President, every Defense Secretary, every Secretary of State, every member of the intelligence community that worked on this effort over the past twenty years is guilty of wasteful spending, neglect, failure, the deaths of American service people, and quite possibly the deaths of the thousands of Americans currently trapped behind Taliban blockades.

Not a single one of them had the insights, the guts, the courage, or the desire to see the waste and deaths end. While they lived the good life in DC, while they enjoyed the perks of office, while many of them enriched themselves beyond what they could have reasonably gathered in wealth, given their Congressional salaries, a TRILLION dollars were being wasted in Afghanistan, thousands of Americans were being killed, wounded, and maimed, and the Taliban were continuing to function.

Yes, Biden failed on a historical basis getting us out of Afghanistan with incompetence and ineptness that is hard to believe. But there are hundreds of people in Washington that did little to avoid the crises we are facing today, the potential harm that 10,000 or more U.S. citizens face today, more than three times the number of Americans that died on 9-11, the very reason we jumped into Afghanistan. 

Twenty years later, a TRILLION dollars later, thousands of deaths later, and the American political class accomplished nothing except death and waste. We are right back where we were twenty years ago. There are no other examples of political class waste and deaths that come to mind in the history of this country. Every member of Congress, if they had any integrity, would resign their seats today. They do not deserve the honor of serving this country and its citizens, given their failure in Afghanistan.

The Horrors and Destruction that Donald Trump Has Imposed On America...Just Kidding!

Before we start today’s discussion, let’s review my voting history: 

• I have never voted for a Republican for President in my life. 
• Thus, I did not vote for Trump. 
• I have rarely voted for a Republican for national office in my life. 

A year ago, many liberals, Democrats, and millenials were besides themselves with grief and fear because their pre-ordained queen, Hillary Clinton, was not elected President. Instead, Donald Trump was elected, an individual that these same people despised, hated, and feared, an individual they felt would endanger and possibly destroy the country and our democracy. For the past year they fretted, worried and lashed out at anything or anyone that even remotely smelled of Donald Trump.

Given that Trump has been in office for a year and we are at the end of that calendar year, I thought, that as someone who did not vote for him, it would be a good idea to review the horror, trauma, and terrible things that Trump has subjected the country to in just one short year:

1. Oversaw two consecutive quarters of annualized economic growth over 3% in his first year, Obama had no more than two quarters over 3% in eight years. 
2. Generated repeated historic highs in all major stock market indices over the past year, likely enriching any American with individual stock holdings, mutual fund holdings, or a 401k or IRA account. 
3. Provided tax reduction legislation that will reduce the Federal income tax burden of well over a 100 million American taxpayers. 
4. Eliminated about 1,500 unnecessary government regulations to spur investment and business growth and save the economy an estimated $89 billion in excessive regulation costs. 
5. The national unemployment rate is at its lowest level since 2007, lower than at any time during Obama’s eight years. 
6. The national Hispanic unemployment rate is at its lowest level ever since the government started to measure it. 
7. The unemployment rate in the manufacturing sector is at its lowest rate in years. 
8. The weekly applications for unemployment benefits are almost at historical lows. 
9. Median household income is at a 7 year high. 
10. Existing home sales are at their highest level since January, 2006. 
11. Home prices rose a strong 6.2% in the past year. 
12. Confidence among U.S. homebuilders reached its highest level in December since July, 1999 according to data from the National Association of Home Builders. 
13. Consumer confidence is at its highest level since 2000, with the consumer confidence index at 125.6. 
14. Home mortgage applications are at a seven year high. 
15. Improving economic conditions resulted in a Christmas buying/spending season that was higher than it has been in almost ten years, rising almost 5% or $33 billion over 2016. 
16. AT&T announced that it would pass along their company income tax savings from Trump’s tax cut legislation to their employees in the form of a $1,000 bonus to each of its 200,000 nonmanagement employees in addition to investing $1 billion in the U.S. market in 2018. 
17. Comcast announced that it would pass along their company income tax savings from Trump’s tax cut legislation to their employees in the form of a $1,000 bonus to its frontline and non-executive employees and invest over $50 billion in the U.S. market in the next five years to improve and expand their broadband, theme park, television and film business divisions. 
18. Fifth Third bank announced that it would pass along their company income tax savings from Trump’s tax cut in the form of raising the minimum wage of its 3,000 hourly employees to $15 an hour in addition to paying a one time bonus of $1,000 to all of its 13,500 employees: “We want to invest in our most important asset – our people,” said CEO Greg Carmichael of Fifth Third Bank. He also said that the tax cut provided an opportunity to “reevaluate its compensation structure and share some of those benefits with its talented and dedicated workforce.” 
19. Wells Fargo announced that it would pass along their company income tax savings from Trump’s tax cut in the form of raising the minimum wage of their hourly employees to $15 an hour and spend $400 million on donations to community and non-profit organizations in 2018, 
20. Boeing announce that it would take its income tax savings from Trump’s tax cut by investing $300 million in the company’s employees and facilities and charitable donations “Each of these investments benefits Boeing’s most important strength – our employees – and reflects the real-time impact and economic benefit of the reforms,” said Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg. “The reforms enable us to better compete on the world stage and give us a stronger foundation for the investment in innovation, facilities and skills that will support our long-term growth.” 
21. Bob Parsons, the billionaire owner of YAM Worldwide, announced he will be passing tax savings from the Trump tax cut in the form of giving almost 600 of his employees with more than six months tenure a $2,000 bonus and those with less than six months bonus $1,000 bonus on top of currently planned bonuses: "The passage of the tax credit is a catalyst for explosive economic growth. On a massive scale, the lowered federal tax burden on businesses will increase investment, entrepreneurship and corporate philanthropy.I’ve always believed in sharing good news and have decided to celebrate the tax plan by giving back to my staff.” 
22. Other companies, including FedEx and CVS Health, have announced that they will also pass along their income tax savings from Trump’s tax cut in the form of employee compensation and just these two companies predicted their tax savings would enable them to together hire 4,000 more employees. 
23. Is currently reviewing and fixing all international trade regulations to ensure America gets a fair deal with other countries. 
24. Convinced China to begin the importation of U.S. grown beef.

31. Got the Keystone pipeline approved. 
32. Convinced NATO allies to pull their fair share of common defense expense, resulting in those allies increasing their defense spending by 4.3%. 
33. Allowed the Veterans Administration, a corrupt and ineffective and inefficient government agency, to more easily fire poorly performing employees. 
34. Allowed veterans to receive health care from non-government entities to improve the turnaround time for healthcare treatment of veterans. 
35. Gave NASA better and more definitive direction and strategies including giving it its first reauthorization in seven years, requiring it to create a plan with cost estimates to get a manned flight to Mars by 2023, requiring it to prioritize its own launch equipment over that of foreign countries, and analyze and prepare a report on the danger of an asteroid hit on Earth. 
36. Passed legislation that will result in the first overhaul of the nation’s weather forecasting system since the 1990s with $170 million authorized to improve weather and storm prediction, tracking, planning and disaster recovery. 
37. Passed legislation to impose a dozen different types of sanctions on Russia for its action in the Ukraine and Crimea. 
38. Passed the “Forever GI” legislation that expanded opportunities and relaxed restrictions on the funding available for former service people to get education benefits. 
39. Put a focus on combating the criminal enterprise known as MS-13 gangs, an illegal immigrant driven crime syndicate that has a presence in all 50 states. 
40. Pulled the country out of the ill defined, unbalanced, and unnecessary/useless Paris climate accord.

48. Recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. 
49. Helped break the back of ISIS, the most horrible terrorist organization of all time, even getting recognition from the pro-liberal, anti-Trump New York Times: “...And for now, the Trump administration’s approach to the Middle East has been moderately successful, and indeed close to what I would have hoped for from a normal Republican president following a realist-internationalist course.” 
50. Launched a multi pronged diplomatic and economic strategy to address the growing and dangerous problem of a nuclear armed North Korea, a problem that Obama ignored for eight years with his lame “Strategic Patience” strategy. 
51. Reduced the United States financial commitment to the United Nations budget in order to force this bloated, inefficient, and ineffective organization to clean up its act and not continue to waste American taxpayer wealth. 
52. Attained an approval rating exactly equal to Obama’s rating at the same time in their first terms, as reported by Matt Drudge “Rasmussen Poll shows Trump at 46% APPROVE this morning, with 53% DISAPPROVE...What about Obama at same exact date first year in presidency?? 46% APPROVE, 53% disapprove.” 
53. And possibly Trump’s biggest accomplishment, he prevented a crime syndicate (aka the Clinton Foundation) queen and a defender, abettor, and condoner of a sexual predator and possible rapist (Bill Clinton) from becoming President. 

[Note: a lot of these accomplishments were compiled by the Political Insider website with other sources adding to their original list.]

So for those of you that feared the end of the world with Trump’s election, here is a list of 53 accomplishments he has imposed on the country. Let’s be honest Trump haters, he has done a pretty good job in just the first twelve months of his term. 

Given your gross error in judgement relative to Trump, let me ask that you to do us all a favor by implementing the following changes in your behavior and attitude:

• Chill out, tamp down your TDS affliction. No matter how much you hate Trump on a sexist, personal basis, get over it. He is the legally and duly elected President, he will be around for a while so refocus your hatred on more constructive issues and matters. You will live a lot longer if you take your TDS hatred out of your heart and soul and devote it to something positive. 
• I would really appreciate it if some of you would apologize to the millions of Trump voters you have disrespected in some of the grossest terms possible over the past year. You have called millions of voters racists, ignorant, stupid, Nazis, KKK members, and other horrible names simply because you disagreed with their voting choice. No American should be called such disgusting names simply because they exercised their Constitutional rights to the best of their abilities.  Plus, slandering over 60 million Americans is no way to unite the country and get it focused on the real issues facing us all.
• More personally, I would like, no I am demanding, a personal apology from some of you for your slanderous and disgusting name calling because in doing so, you insulted and disrespected my sister, my family members, my friends, and my co-workers who simply voted their conscience. I will defend their right to vote anyway they wanted and will no longer put up with your childish and vicious venom and bile directed at them, very important people in my life 
• And finally, I challenge some of you to read the following blog post, a post that shows quite clearly that it was hateful people like you and your silence over the past eight years that actually caused Trump to be elected. Thus, the people you hate for voting for Trump are actually looking back at you in the mirror: 

https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2016/03/how-american-liberals-and-washington.html

If you were silent in the dozens of instances listed in this post then you were responsible for the very thing you hate: a Trump Presidency. Or put another way, a so far successful and productive Trump Presidency.

February, 2017, Part 5, Political Class Insanity: More Pelosi Nonsense, More Food Stamp Fraud, And Finally, An Honest Politician

It has been several weeks since Donald Trump has been sworn in which means at some point in the future we may run out of material to talk about. With the demise of the Obama administration, eight years worth of wasteful and excessive spending for nothing in return, foreign affairs blunders, Obama Care disasters, and assorted other administration and government blunders and screwups might end with the onset of a new administration. Trump may usher in a new paradigm of government actions that are limited, effective, cost efficient, and protective of the Constitution. If so, then this blog would run out of material to discuss and would have to be shut down.

But I doubt it. Even if Trump is truly a different type of President, he is still fighting over 500 embedded and entrenched politicians in Congress and thousands and thousands of government bureaucrats who will not go peacefully into the night for the good of the country. I wish him well and hopefully he can fix at least some of the myriad of problems the American political class creates everyday but until then, enjoy the latest political class insanity from Washington and beyond:

1) The Washington political class, especially Obama, have been telling us for years that we need to support the “moderate rebels” in Syria to free the Syrians from the tyranny of the Assad dictatorship. As a result, we have been sending weapons and ammunition to these “moderate rebels” in their fight against the Assad regime. We were given the impression that these valiant, moderate rebels were modern day freedom fighters that deserved our taxpayer wealth and were using these U.S. supplied weapons only in the quest for freedom.

Well, of course that could not be further from the truth, like most everything that ever came out of the Obama administration, if you are to believe a DEMOCRATIC Congresswoman who just paid a secret visit to Syria. DEMOCRATIC Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii recently had an interview on CNN and let the country know what is really going on in Syria:

• Congresswoman Gabbard had just gotten back from a Syrian trip where she bounced around the country talking to various components in the whole Syrian mess: “I wanted to see if there was in some small way, a way that I could express the love and the aloha and the care that the American people have for the people of Syria, and to see firsthand what was happening there, to see that situation there.” 
• She spoke with Assad himself in addition to ordinary Syrian folks on the street.
• And to kill the Obama myth that we are supporting “moderate rebels, she had the following observations: “I’ll tell you what I heard from the Syrian people that I met with, walking down the street in Aleppo, in Damascus, hearing from them. They expressed happiness and joy at seeing an American walking through their streets. But they also asked why the U.S. and its allies are providing support and arms to terrorist groups like al-Nusra, al-Qaida or al-Sham, ISIS who are on the ground there, raping, kidnapping, torturing and killing the Syrian people.”
• Gabbard went on to form the following conclusion: “The reality is – every place that I went, every person that I spoke to, I asked this question to them, and without hesitation, they said, there are no moderate rebels. Who are these moderate rebels that people keep speaking of?”
• And her best point of all: “The fact that our resources are being used to strengthen the very terrorist groups we should be focused on defeating should alarm every American.” 

Did I mention that Gabbard is a DEMOCRAT, the same party as Barack Obama? That should give some credence to her findings, that a Democrat would dare point out and criticize the utter failure of Obama's foreign policy in Syria. Here we are, as a nation, supplying terrorist groups halfway around the world with guns and weapons that are likely being used to kill, maim, and otherwise terrorize how many thousands of innocent citizens of Syria? All for nothing since Syria was not a threat to the U.S. either militarily, economically or any other way. 

Instead of minding our own business, we are fueling the very people that would attack us in our own towns if they had the ability. So insanely stupid and it took a very brave Congresswoman, who obviously risked her life, to tell us these simple truths.

2) Let’s bring the insanity closer to home and took about good old fashioned ripoff of the American taxpayer on our own shores:

• Fourteen people were recently arrested in the Baltimore area for ripping off the Federal food assistance program to the tune of $16 million.
• The 14 people were retail and food store owners and they are accused of taking in $16,482,270 of food stamp/EBT payments without providing and food of any kind.
• Those indicted in the fraud case include Walayat Khan, Shaheen Tasewar Hussain, Mulazam Hussain, Mahmood Hussain Shah, Muhammad Rafiq, Mohammad Shafiq, Alia Shaheen, Mohammad Irfan, 59, Muhammad Sarmad, Kassem Mohammad Hafeed, a/k/a Kassam Mohammad Hafeed.

At the risk of being accused of being a racist, it does not seem to be a lot of Irish and Italian names on the list of those arrested. But there does seem to be a lot of Arab like names which raises a very troubling question: were these simple crooks that just happened to all be Arabs/Muslims or was some of the $16 million in taxpayer fraud money funneled into terrorist cells both within this country and throughout the world? If it is the latter, than we see the terrorists are getting U.S. taxpayer money in more ways than one, thanks to the ineptness of the political class and the Federal government apparatus it is supposed to be operating effectively and efficiently. Insane.

3) What would a month of political class insanity review be without some truly delusional and inane remarks from Nancy Pelosi. According to a Washington Examiner article by Al Weaver on January 13, 2017, Pelosi somehow decided to proclaim that the almost $10 TRILLION that Obama added to the national debt was none other than the fault of George W. Bush. Yes, eight years after Bush left office, leaving both houses of Congress in Democratic hands and Obama in the White House, in Pelosi’s delusional state she is still blaming Bush.

But let’s look at some reality for Pelosi’s sake:

• The highest annual budget deficit of Bush was lower than the lowest budget deficit of Obama.
• Obama created four consecutive annual budget deficits of over a trillion dollars each.
• Obama had MONTHLY budget deficits that were larger than some of Bush’s ANNUAL budget deficits.
• When Republicans tried to get Federal government spending under control a few years ago, Obama fought them every step of the way with no fiscal constraint on his part at all.

Blaming Bush for Obama’s budget deficits by citing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq misses the reality that Obama has been fighting in Afghanistan longer than Bush, Obama has reinserted troops into Iraq (and many other countries in Africa and the Middle East) and Obama has been dropping bombs all over the Middle East for years now, not Bush.

And Obama has been unable and/or more likely, unwillingly, to reduce the long term trend of ever increasing budget deficits with the 2016 budget deficit under his watch starting to rise again and the Congressional Budget Office showing that Obama has the country on track to again attain trillion dollar annual deficits quite soon:

She also blames high payments to drug companies, for some unknown reason, and tax cuts to the rich, which in addition to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, still comes nowhere close to the almost $10 TRILLION that Obama added to the national debt, again showing how out of touch she is with reality and basically having no concept how much $10 TRILLION really is.

Look, I was never a big fan of Bush. At the time he was running unacceptable annual budget deficits. But in comparison to Obama, his deficits look like chump change regardless of what world Pelosi lives in. Of course Pelosi provides no real proof of the numbers or back up her ridiculous claims but that is usually par for her course, ramble on with wildly disconnected logic and come off as completely out of touch with reality.

That will do it for this month’s insanity: an incoherent Nancy Pelosi, more food assistance fraud in Baltimore that could have terrorist connections and a brave Democrat actually speaks out to show how pathetic and fatal Obama’s Syrian policy was and still is. More insanity next month.
