May, 2020, Part 1, Political Class Insanity: Politicians Lack Of A Moral Compass, re: Joe Biden and Democratic Mayors

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) While we have never been in agreement with just about any thing Joe Biden has said over the years, we do feel sorry for him these days. We believe that he is in the midst of a significant cognitive decline and propping him up as the assumed Democratic Presidential candidate is a form of elder abuse. His inability to form sentences and thoughts, his forgetfulness, his aggression against others that disagree with him make him a candidate for any number of aging maladies. It is a shame that he is being forced through this political process.

But as long as Democrats put him forth, we will continue to point out instances where it is quite apparent he is not mentally fit to take on the rigors of being President:

• In a recent TV interview on Politics Nation, Biden could not remember the name of the virus that is sweeping the world even though it has been the only topic of news for months now.
• Specifically: “Everyone who, in fact, gets— is found to have the, uh, the, uh, the COVID, uh, 19 virus...” 
• He continued, starting to wander off topic: “Look, uh, I, I, I just, if, if— if we hadn’t had the circumstances that occurred last election, we’d have a woman president now. I’d be out campaigning for the reelection of Hillary Clinton.”
• Later in the interview he attacked Trump and then apologized for not remembering where he got the information he used in the attack: : "I apologize for not remembering."
• There were claims that he needed a teleprompter during the interview to remember to say what he wanted to say and yet, he still botched the questions.

Again, we feel sorry for him but he is fair game if he puts himself out there to be President. It is obvious that cognitively he is in worsening shape. 

Earlier the day of the above interview, he was interviewed on the MSNBC show, Morning Joe, where he claimed that 600,000 Americans had already died from the coronavirus. That estimate is about tens times higher than the official death toll. No news or government source, reputable or disreputable, has made such a high estimate. He is just out of touch with reality and should never get close to being President, given his mental faculties at this point in time.

2) Besides his loss of mental acuity, his history of fondling, touching, smelling,and possibly sexually assaulting women and girls is getting wider and more disgusting. We have already discussed the accusation made by formal staffer Tara Reade how Biden had sexually assaulted her years ago. He has a well known history of touching, fondling and grossing out both women and young girls over the years.

At least nine women and girls have accused Biden of being too handsy and sexually aggressive with them, a list that was recently documented in a Breitbart article by John Nolte:

• Tara Reade - as we have previously discussed, Ms. Reade has accused Biden of sexually assaulting her in a hallway when she worked for him back in 1993. She accuses him of pinning her against a wall, shoving his hands up her skirt and penetrating her. There are five people who have come forward to say she had told them about the assault at the time. There is also a video from Larry King’s CNN show back then that allegedly contains a phone call made into the show by Ms. Reade’s mom, describing the attack and asking for advice on how to go forward. Biden has refused access to his Senate papers,which are stored at the University of Delaware, papers which may contain the original complaint that Reade filed.
• Lucy Flores - Ms. Flores, a former assemblywomen from Nevada has accused Biden of touching and kissing her without her permission: “I felt two hands on my shoulders. I froze. “Why is the vice-president of the United States touching me?” I felt him get closer to me from behind. He leaned further in and inhaled my hair. I was mortified. I thought to myself, “I didn’t wash my hair today and the vice-president of the United States is smelling it. And also, what in the actual fuck? Why is the vice-president of the United States smelling my hair?” He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head.”
• Amy Lappos - Ms. Lappos has claimed that Biden grabbed at her during a 2009 fundraiser: "It wasn’t sexual, but he did grab me by the head. He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth.”
• Vail Kohnert-Yount - When Ms. Kohnert-Yount was a White House intern in 2013, Biden “put his hand on the back of [her] head and pressed his forehead to [her] forehead’ when he introduced himself, and that he called her a ‘pretty girl.’” 
• Caitlyn Caruso - During a spring, 2016 conference on sexual assault, Ms. Caruso claims that Biden put his hand on her thigh for “an uncomfortable amount of time.”
• D.J. Hill - Ms. Hill Claims that Biden got so handsy with her that her husband had to step in: “Writer D. J. Hill told the Times that Biden moved his hand from Caruso’s shoulder down her lower back, which made her uncomfortable at an event, causing her husband to intervene.” This incident was reported by the New York Times, certainly a Democratic loving newspaper.
• Sofie Karasek - At the 2016 Oscars, Ms. Karasek described her interactions with Biden and that he had violated her personal space.
• Ally Coll - Ms. Coll claims that Biden made her very uncomfortable at a 2008 reception by touching her without permission, squeezing her shoulders, and complimenting her on her smile, all of which went on for an uncomfortably long time.
• Not included in the Breitbart list is the latest accuser, Eva Murray. Ms. Murray recounted an incident back in 2008 when she was 14 years old. This allegedly happened at an annual political event in Delaware. Biden asked Ms. Murry how old she was and she answered she was 14 years old, Biden complimented her on how big her breasts were for a girl so young, that she “was well endowed.” Ms. Murry claimed that he looked her up and down while making the comment: “I remember walking into the lobby and being in awe of all the people in such fancy clothes. Our two parties of people gravitated towards each other and everyone started saying their hellos. When it was Biden and my aunt’s turn to say hello he quickly turned to me and asked how old I was. I replied with my age and he replied with the comment ‘Fourteen? You’re very well endowed for 14!’ I was confused but it was definitely weird, he looked me up and down and hovered his eyes on my chest so I had some clue [about] the notion of his comment but didn’t fully understand at the time. We quickly separated from his area after the encounter.”

Pretty Disgusting stuff if true. And these are only the women and girls that have come forward, there may be others that are too scared or too embarrassed to do so. As we have said before, if Democrats don't want to be viewed as massive hypocrites, given the aggressive and unwarranted scrutiny they used to go after Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, they must do the same scrutiny with Biden, a candidate to be President.

Between his failing cognitive abilities and his alleged sexual predator tendencies there is no way he should sit in the Oval Office from both a competency and morality perspective.

Note: the Breibart article pointed out that many of those accusing Biden are Democratic voters.

4) Over the years we have often pointed out how the American political class stands by the mantra, "Do as I say, not as I do.” Recently we have pointed out a number of times during the coronavirus crisis they have continued this sick tradition:

• The mayor of NYC closed down the city’s gyms to avoid spreading the virus but he allowed himself to go out and got to the gym so that he could stay strong and healthy in the face of the virus, implying that the rest of the city residents, who couldn't go to a gym should stay safe at home and weak and unhealthy.
• The mayor of Chicago broke her own stay at home edict and and another edict that shut down the city’s hair salons and barber shops to go get her hair done, telling the city residents that while they had to stay home and avoid hair salons and look ugly, she had to stay pretty since she was a public figure.

Total lack of leadership on both counts. Rather than setting an example and following their own advice, they basically said screw my constituents, I will do what makes me happy, they can stay unhappy under my orders.

Well, that political trend of hypocrisy recently popped up in Texas:

• Becky Ames is the mayor of Beaumont, Texas.
• Like many mayors around the country she ordered her citizens to shelter at home to avoid spreading the virus and endangering fellow citizens.
• But apparently her orders to stay inside and venture out for only essential tasks (food shop, medical treatment, or essential jobs) do not apply to her.
• She is currently being investigated by the local district attorney for violating her edict since she went out and forced a nail salon to open up, against her edict, so that she could get her nails manicured.
• I would think that most people would not classify getting one’s nails done at a salon to be an “essential” task.
• Well, it did not take long for a picture of her getting her manicure to hit the news and Internet and forced her backtrack and apologize for being such an elite snob, forcing her constituents to stay home while she flaunted her own orders for a trivial reason, pretty fingernails.
• Specifically: “I promise there was no malice intended. I should never have entered the salon last Tuesday. I did not intend to take personal privilege while asking others to sacrifice and for that I am truly remorseful. As an elected official I am held to a higher standard, I regret my action that day. I am honestly sorry and I pray that you will forgive me.” 

Sorry mayor, this apology is too little too late. If you were any kind of leader and compassionate person, this type of behavior should have never entered into your mindset. If an ordinary citizen had made the same apology, it would carry no weight in the face of your own edict. Thus, your apology should carry no weight also. Your lack of leadership, and the lack of leadership of the mayors in NYC and Chicago and everywhere else in the political class is disgusting but not unexpected.

The lack of morals, whether it is inappropriately molesting women and children, or assuming that rules don't apply do you is rampant across the American political class, a class of people who never fail to disappoint when it comes to brains, leadership and morals.

April, 2019, Part 1, Political Class Insanity: More and More Washington Corruption and Joe Biden Gets Creepy

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) Congressional Democrats and liberals went nuts during the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearings, desperately wanting to believe that he was a sexual predator from long ago and was not fit to serve on the Supreme Court. They wanted to believe this based only on vague accusations that were all eventually proven to be lies or in a small set of accusation, were never proven.

It should be interesting to see how these same quick to act liberals will react as their leading candidate for President in 2020, Joe Biden, increasingly appears to be a serial fondler of not only woman but young girls, as reported by a recent Freedom Outpost article by Michael Snyder:

• Lucy Flores, a Democratic state politician started the Joe Biden sexual fondler rumors when she recounted an encounter with him years ago when he smelled her hair, touched her without permission, and did other nasty things to her body.
• Now Christian Science Monitor reported Linda Feldman has come forward with another accusation of sexual deviance.
• She was on site in Connecticut doing a story when, “We were at an outdoor event in Glastonbury, the sun blazing overhead, and I noticed the senators standing around chatting. I walked over and introduced myself. Senator Biden greeted me warmly – and then threw a sweaty arm over my shoulder, and gave me a squeeze. I cringed a little internally; I had never met Mr. Biden before. But I chalked the overly friendly gesture up to his personal style, and maybe a generational difference. I proceeded to interview the senators, but the thing I remember most vividly is Mr. Biden’s sweaty arm.”
• Gail Russell Chaddock a Congressional reporter, has come out and said, “Anybody who’s ever been around Joe Biden has been touched by him – literally.”
• Former Congressional aide, Amy Lappos, had a much more disturbing story about Biden as she related to the Hartford Courant: “It wasn’t sexual, but he did grab me by the head. He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth. I never filed a complaint, to be honest, because he was the vice president. I was a nobody. There’s absolutely a line of decency. There’s a line of respect. Crossing that line is not grandfatherly. It’s not cultural. It’s not affection. It’s sexism or misogyny.”
• Even Vox, the severe left leaning Internet news website recently described Biden’s perverted behavior around women: “Biden’s been caught on camera embracing a female reporter from behind and gripping her above her waist, just below her bust. At a swearing-in ceremony for Defense Secretary Ash Carter, Biden put his hands on the shoulders of Stephanie Carter, Carter’s wife, and then leaned in and whispered into her ear. (He’s whispered into many women’s ears.) He’s also touched women’s faces and necks during other photo ops. Once at a swearing-in ceremony for a US senator, he held the upper arm of the senator’s preteen daughter, leaned down and whispered into her ear, as she became visibly uncomfortable. Then he kissed the side of her forehead, a gesture that made the girl flinch.”
• Democrat and liberal loving CNN, via Jake Tapper, also had a severe problem with Biden’s behavior: “I have to say, if any of the men around this table behaved this way at our places of work, we would get reprimanded, we would get potentially even fired. You are not allowed to touch women inappropriately. Again, it doesn’t matter if your intention is sexual or just friendly — you can’t massage a woman’s shoulders and sniff her hair and kiss the back of her head. That’s not appropriate.”

Come on folks, if even Vox and CNN are down on a famous liberal politician you know it must be really bad. These are not rumors like it was for Kavanaugh, there are plenty of video clips to prove that he actually is a nasty sexual fondler. Any other person in America would have either had his face slapped, reprimanded by his business, or arrested by the police. And yet, a career politician has gotten away with this disgusting behavior for decades and there are many on the left side of the political spectrum that actually think he would be a good President.

2) Ilhan Omar is a Muslim Congresswoman from Minnesota. She has made quite a name for herself and her anti-Semite, anti-Israel, anti-American statements over the years. This is obviously her First Amendment right, repugnant as they are to people like myself.

But her First Amendment rights do not protect her if she breaks the laws of the land that she may have actually done according to a Freedom Outpost article Daniel Greenfield on April 2, 2019:

• A criminal investigation is wrapping up back in her home state of Minnesota.
• It involves the misuse of campaign funds and the investigation came at the behest of another Minnesota politician, Steven Drazkowski.
• It is alleged that she improperly or unlawfully spent almost $6,000 of campaign funds for her own personal use, specifically she made payments to her divorce attorney and for her to travel to Boston and Estonia.
• She has previously violated state government ethics rules when she wrongfully took $2,500 in payment for speeches she gave at colleges that get state funding.
• According to the article: “A formal CFB investigation into the Omar committee’s use of campaign money to pay legal fees to her divorce attorney also remains ongoing. According to statements made to the CFB by attorney Carla Kjellberg, Omar's payment to Kjellberg’s law office was reimbursed for services that the Kjellberg firm initially paid for on behalf of the Omar Committee, which would be a violation of state law. Additionally, it appears that the reimbursed expenses may have been related to tax preparation and legal expenses related to immigration.”
• This alleged illegal behavior comes on top of some alleged family hanky panky: “Last year, Alpha News investigated the interesting background of Omar after Powerline Blog writer Scott Johnson indicated Omar may have engaged in marriage fraud. Omar, who publicly identified Ahmed Hirsi to be her husband, is currently married to Elmi – who through extensive investigation appears to be Omar’s brother.”

Anti-Semite, anti-Israel, hateful towards America, alleged campaign fund activities, and marrying your brother to get around immigration laws and rules. She is turning out to be the entire package of despicable political behavior.

3) We have previously talked about some of the insanity and despicable behavior of Congress people but a recent article from the Daily Caller reviewed how politicians in D.C. rigged the system and ethics processes to protect their despicable and corrupt behavior:

• According to the theme of the article: “Congress has designed its bureaucracy to protect incumbents, shielding them from punishment for misconduct and cloaking the institution’s dirty laundry in secrecy. Even members of opposite parties do not go after each other for ethics issues, part of a truce to avoid mutually assured destruction.”
• In 2018 we found out that the House of Representatives maintained a taxpayer funded slush fund to conceal sexual misconduct and bad behavior by Congressional members and their staff.
• Long term Detroit Congressman John Dingell was forced to resign from Congress in 2017 when his sexual misconduct became known but only after decades of such behavior.
• On 2015 he had fired a staffer for not succumbing to his sexual advances but after she filed a complaint, the House Office of Compliance paid her $27,000 in hush money to go away.
• Over the past 20 years the Office Of Compliance has paid out $1 million in taxpayer funds to cover up Congressional sexual misconduct.
• These payments always had to be approved by sitting members of Congress.
• The Office paid out a whopping $220,000 to end allegations of sexual harassment against Congressman Alcee Hastings.
• But the $1 million is probably an underestimate since in some cases Congressional members to pay off people without going through the Office of Compliance.
• They would have an employee who threatened to fire a complaint resign but still kept them secretly on the payroll so that they were still drawing a salary without having to do the job they had.
• They actually had a Congressional lawyer advice members on how to do this: “In fact, the statistics were missing a massive portion of the settlements because Congress’s own human resources lawyer was helping members seemingly break the House’s rules to pay settlements in a way that avoided a paper trail. The lawyer, the House Employment Counsel, advised members that they could pay off would-be whistleblowers by having them resign but continue to sign paychecks for nonexistent work, rather than having the Office of Compliance make a one-time payment from the special settlement fund.”
• For example, a formal report came out that alleged that Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty allowed her chief of staff to resign but still draw his salary after he allegedly punched and threatened a female staff member.
• She admitted to the fraud but said a House lawyer said she could do it.
• According to Daniel Schuman of the Demand Progress group: “Democrats don’t file ethics complaints against Republicans and vice versa because you don’t want the tables turned. They used to call it a Cold War detente: You don’t nuke the Russians and they don’t nuke you.”
• And when the House Ethics Committee investigates itself, it usually takes years and years to complete an investigation in the hope that the Congressional member leaves Congress.
• Even when Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz accepted a $56,000 personal cash gift from a company in 2017, a clear House ethics violation, nothing was done about it.

It’s the foxes guarding the hen house. Unbelievable corruption that is rarely rooted out and only when sunlight is accidentally shined on the offenders. Be it long established, long serving Congress people like Dingell and Wasserman Schultz or newbies like Omar, we continue to be under served by greedy, shallow, and deceptive folks in Washington and elsewhere and the insanity shows no signs of receding.

More insanity to follow.
