We have spent a lot of our recent posts about which state or city will go bankrupt first and the massive fraud that has been going on relative to government programs. But that does not mean that the potential class has not been up to its traditional incompetence, insanity, and screw ups. So, let’s catch up with the shenanigans that continue to plague the country:
1)Jack Smith is an attorney who was appointed as a Special Counsel to investigate the potential law violations associated with the January 6th riot. Unfortunately, while he was supposed to investigate potential law breaking incidents, it appears that he may have violated the law himself:
According to the RedState website, Smith was accused in late 2025 of violating Congressional members' privacy rights.
He allegedly got their phone records without court authorized search warrants.
Senator Chuck Grassley alleged in July that Smith and his team of investigators violated classified document handling procedures and the privacy of sitting members of Congress without warrants.
According to Grassley: “I received records from DOJ confirming Jack Smith's investigative team reviewed the contents of text msgs sent by 44 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS I’m 1 of the 44. I’m alerting my colleagues who were impacted and will release the records w Sen Johnson so American ppl can see the evidence.”
Pretty bad when the Department of Justice decides that justice is just a word to be ignored and not a guiding tenet.
Smith allegedly bypassed and/or ignored standard Department of Justice protocols in the spying operation, protocols that would have prevented this abuse of power.
More from Grassley and Senator Ron Johnson: “Jack Smith’s criminal investigation of President Trump was a runaway train that had no brakes.”
Not only did Smith possibly undermine Constitutional rights of members of Congress with his spying, but according to Senator Rand Paul he may have also lied under oath at a Congressional hearing: “December 2025: Jack Smith swore under oath that he didn't spy on text messages belonging to members of Congress. Today: New evidence confirms he spied on dozens of members of Congress, myself included. This is a blatant abuse of power, and exactly what our Founders warned.”
The good news is this blatant abuse of government power may have consequences for those that abused their power in the Federal government. But in a sense, this abuse of power is not surprising with regards to the Biden administration. Under Biden and the head of Justice, Merrick Garland, anyone who had a contrasting opinion than Biden was subjected to abusive government power and intimidation including pro lifers, Second Amendment defenders, Catholics, parents attending local board of education meetings, Republicans, etc.
If even members of Congress are not safe from having their Constitutional rights and privacy protected, then anyone can be subjected to people like Smith who bypass the safeguards meant to protect freedom and abuse of that freedom.
2)One would hope that anyone in the political class and serving the American people would be of the highest moral standards and upholders of the law. But a past Florida mayor and candidate to be Florida governor has smashed that hope like many others politicians constantly do:
Andrew Gillum, the former mayor of Tallahassee, Florida and defeated candidate to be Florida governor was recently arrested in Daphne, Alabama.
He is charged with possession of dangerous drugs including marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Back in 2020 Gillum overdosed on meth at a hotel in South Beach, Florida so this is not his first time getting entangled with drugs.
In 2022, Gillum was indicted by a Federal grand jury on charges of wire fraud, conspiracy, and making false statements, charges that were never proven true in court.
Nice, and to think this guy came very close to being governor of my state of Florida. Scary.
3)This next piece of insanity would fit quite nicely into our running discussion on which state or major city government will go bankrupt first. A major component driving these select states and cities to bankruptcy court is that liberal politicians in these locales constantly raise the tax burden on their residents and businesses. Eventually, some residents and businesses flee the city or state to get tax relief.
This out migration of people and businesses reduces the tax base and tax revenue stream. To make up to the smaller tax base these same politicians raise taxes on those remaining to make up the difference. This in turn sends more residents and businesses out of the state,reducing the tax base, and the financial spiral is underway.
As readers of these bankruptcy posts know, California is a prime state candidate to go bankrupt pretty soon. With some of the heaviest and numerous taxes in the country, businesses and residents have been leaving the state in droves for a number of years. Rather than try and ease the tax burden to reduce this out migration of their tax base, apparently these politicians have decided to add even more taxes to the tax burden:
Two brand new taxes will hit businesses and residents of California next year.
There will be a new tax on healthcare premiums and get this, software downloads to your computer.
According to state senator Tony Strickland: “What happened to addressing the affordability crisis that was supposed to be such a priority? These tax increases could be the final straw that drives businesses out of California and harms our economy.”
The increased health insurance premiums will be used to help fund the state’s fraud riddled Medicaid program and you can be sure those taxes on the health insurance companies will be passed down to consumers.
That pass though of the tax could reach hundreds of dollars a month according to the California Association of Health Plans.
When a California person downloads Turbotax or Adobe or any other kind of software to their computer, California will tax them for that action.
We have said this so many times that “when you are stuck in a hole, stop digging the hole deeper.” California is in a hole, people and businesses leaving because of the high tax burden. The most logical thing to do is to try and reduce the existing tax burden, not add to it. But Californai politicians keep digging that tax hole deeper and keep piling on those taxes higher and higher.
4)Consider some Colorado realities:
Almost 19,000 state citizens are homeless.
About 1,700 state citizens die from a drug overdose every year.
About 745,000 state citizens, including 172,500 Colorado kids, struggle with food insecurity.
About 27,000 state citizens are diagnosed with cancer every year.
There are a lot of citizens in Colorado dealing with serious problems that should be a priority of the state’s political class as far as addressing and reducing that suffering. But what is a priority of some state politicians:
These state politicians support using millions of taxpayer dollars for “transgender healthcare” for convicted criminals.
Part of this healthcare budget would be using taxpayer wealth to pay for sex change operations for prison inmates.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, state government budgets over the past three years have included a dedicated line item cost line for transgender health care of prisoners.
The budget line was $5.3 million in 2024 and $5.3 million in 2025.
Talk about bad priorities. How many homeless Colorado folks could have gotten shelter with the $10.7 million? How many hungry Colorado kids could have been fed with the $10.7 million? How many drug overdose deaths could have been avoided with drug addiction support with that $10.7 million? How many cancer patients could have gotten better care with that $10.7 million?
Instead, prisoners that committed acts of aggression against those paying the taxes get to have their sex changed operations while in prison. Insanity.
Okay, enough foolishness for today: bad priorities for Coloradans in need, even more taxes in California, a Florida politician gets drug busted, and Biden and his lackey Jack Smith allegedly spied on members of Congress without cause or warrants.
