January, 2025, By The Numbers: Terrorists, Homeless Americans, Expensive Congressional Sexual Exploits, and Crime by Illegal Lmmigrants.

 On a periodic basis we review the wasteful government spending via a continuing theme of “By The Numbers.” We review how poorly taxpayer wealth is being spent and wasted on stupid programs and projects and also how many government programs are being ripped off of billions and billions of dollars by fraud and criminal enterprises. Today is just another sad chapter on how politicians and government bureaucrats are pretty inept when it comes to safeguarding taxpayer dollars.

1)We had previously discussed this type of wasteful spending but it is back in the news so let’s update the numbers:

  • Apparently, taxpayer money has been used in the past to pay off the  legal costs for sexual harassment accusations and actions that members of Congress have  perpetrated.

  • Apparently the taxpayer cost to cover up these aggressions is estimated to be $17 million.

  • There is a list  of Congressional members that have incurred these costs that is being secretly held by the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights.

  • Since 1997, the Congressional office has managed and resolved almost 300 cases of sexual harassment, retaliation, and  discrimination that arose relative to members of Congress.

  • Thus, on average members of Congress have misbehaved in the sexual  harassment area more than ten times a year.

More wasted taxpayer wealth, needed this time to secretly cover up the sexual atrocities of DC politicians.

2)This next discussion involved only one number but it is a deadly serious one: according to Sarah Adams, a former CIA employee who worked as an Intelligence Analyst and Targeter, which made her an expert on the Al Qaeda terrorist organization, in her expert opinion, Biden’s  failed border security policies have probably allowed more than 1,000 Al Qaeda terrorists to infiltrate into the country.

She foresees many terrorist attacks, such as suicide bombers, throughout the country from these 1,000 terrorists and that the result will be devastating. A truly deadly and scary number, courtesy of the Biden administration.

3)We have often lamented the fact that Joe Biden specifically and Washington in general would rather send taxpayer wealth around the world for useless and trivial matters than spend it on needy Americans in our own country. We have often cited the fact that it was once estimated that at any time, there are probably about 600,000 homeless Americans living on the streets of the wealthiest country in the world.

And yet Biden and Washington continue to send billions and billions of dollars to Ukraine and other corrupt governments around the world as hundreds of thousands of Americans are homeless. But apparently, that 600,000 number is no longer valid:


  • According to the 2024 Annual  Homelessness Assessment report (AHAR) that is done by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, there are now more than 770,000 homeless Americans in the country.

  • This is a whopping 18% increase from just one year ago in 2023.

  • Even worse, families with children are especially affected by current economic conditions since their homelessness numbers jumped 39% in just one year.

  • This means that about 150,000 American kids do not have permanent housing in their lives.

  • Sadly, the Biden administration, which significantly increased the homeless population problem, apparently has no solution except to talk in empty generalities, as witness by a statement by Acting Housing and urban  Development Secretary Adrianne Todman: “No American should face homelessness, and the Biden-Harris Administration is committed to ensuring every family has access to affordable, safe, and quality housing they deserve.” 


Probably one of Biden’s saddest accomplishments: making a disgusting situation even worse, growing the number of homeless Americans and homeless kids while sending billions and billions of dollars around the world.


4)One more set of numbers as it relates to failed Biden policies, specifically on how his failed illegal immigration policies have resulted in a significant increase in crime across the country while at the  same time draining government budgets of taxpayer dollars to feed, house, and take care of the millions and millions of illegal immigrants Biden has allowed into the country:


  • A recent analysis by Dr. John  R. Lott of the data on the Non-Detained Docket (NDD) show that the homicide rate among illegal immigrants is 13 times higher than the national  average.

  • The Department of Justice estimates that there are 662,566 illegal immigrants with criminal  histories currently on the NDD,

  • 435,719 of these folks have prior convictions and 226,847 face pending criminal charges.

  • Among the crimes committed or alleged to have been committed by these illegal  immigrants are 14,944 homicides, 20,061 sexual assaults, over 100,000 assaults, 60,268 robberies and burglaries, and over 126,000 traffic violations.

  • The total estimated cost incurred by just homicides was estimated by Dr. Lott to be $153.8 billion.


Thus, the cost to feed, house, and service all of the millions of illegal immigrants Biden has allowed into the country  now has to be increased by the cost of addressing the thousands and thousands of crimes that many of these illegal immigrants are responsible for.


Enough bad and sad  numbers for today: terrorists, homeless Americans, expensive Congressional sexual  exploits, and crime by illegal  immigrants.

January, 2024, Part 8, Political Class Insanity: Biden's Lower and Lower Approval Ratings, Oregon's Failed Drug Addiction Approach, and More

 Every month we devote posts to just general political class insanity that is running rampant through the country. The members of the American political class continue to show that they are incapable of operating any level of government in this country. 


Even their best efforts are almost always inefficient and ineffective at resolving any problem facing Americans. They spend a great amount of time not trying to improve the lives of their citizens but continually ensuring their reelection and enriching themselves, their families, and their friends in the process, all at taxpayer expense.


1)Over many years we have constantly pointed out how the American political class has probably wasted trillions of taxpayer dollars via ineffective programs, corruption, and stupidity. And it seems like Americans are finally understanding how poorly our politicians have handled our hard earned tax dollars:


  • A recent Associated Press public opinion poll done in conjunction with the University of Chicago found that two out of three respondents feel that they pay too much in Federal income taxes.

  • Seven out of ten Americans feel they spend too much on local property taxes.

  • Only 6% of those polled think that the Federal  government will  spend their Federal tax dollars in the best interest of “people like them” and only 16% think their local politicians will spend their local taxes in the best interest of “people like them.”

  • Younger people have less confidence  than  older folks that their tax dollars will be spent wisely.

  • Half of those polled said they would be willing to see fewer government services if it meant reducing their tax bill.

  • Only 1 in 4 people say they are getting good value for paying their Federal income tax, state sales tax, and local property tax.

  • The majority of those polled say they find their local and Federal tax burdens as unfair.

  • Relatively small minorities across all  types of taxes understand how their taxes are calculated.


Maybe, just maybe Americans are finally figuring out how much politicians squander our hard earned tax dollars. They always fail to clean up corruption and criminals stealing our tax dollars while the necessary government programs that would make our lives better never seem to materialize. 


2)And while Americans are realizing how bad their overall political class is performing relative to their hard earned tax dollars, they are also realizing how horrible the Biden administration has been:


  • A recent poll by Gallup found that Biden’s Presidential performance at this point in  his administration is the lowest performance rating since Jimmy Carter’s failed Presidency.

  • An average of 12 recent polls found his approval rating across those polls to be  39.8%, barely ahead of Carter’s 37.4%.

  • This 39.8% is 10 points lower than his approval rate after the first year of his Presidency.


Congrats to Americans for realizing how bad a President Biden has been: high inflation, high mortgage rates, failed  international relations and foreign policy, wars breaking out all over the war which are getting U.S. service personnel killed, higher and higher crime rates, an abysmal immigration disaster, widespread corruption in the FBI and Department of Justice, etc.


3)American  politicians not only misuse taxpayer funds and never have the right solution to resolve any problems, they can also be sleezy when  it comes to  sexual  harassment:


  • The Justice Department recently concluded that former New York  governor, Andrew Cuomo, sexually harassed at least 13 state employees when he  was governor.

  • This conclusion follows after the state attorney general concluded back in 2021 that Cuomo had sexually harassed multiple women which was a violation of state and Federal  law.

  • The Department of Justice report ran 165 pages and stated that Cuomo created a work environment that was “rife with fear and intimidation” which allowed the harassment to occur in a hostile work environment.


Whether anything will come of this report remains to be seen but if these findings are true, it is disgusting that another politician has been behaving badly from a sexual harassment perspective. Not unlike what the current President did over his decades in power and in office:

4)One crisis that the political class has never come close to resolving is the plague of drug addiction in this country. Well over 100,000 Americans die every year from drug addiction. The drug addiction crisis has made Mexican drug cartels very wealthy and dangerous. Drug addiction is a driving force behind the growing homelessness crisis in the country.


And apparently the state of Oregon is learning that their politicians in that state also have no clue how to address the problem:


  • The state politicians decided that they were going to decriminalize drug possession  in their state three years ago.

  • Their actions caused Oregon to become a state with one of the highest drug overdose deaths in the country.

  • Their decriminalization law allowed individuals caught with small amounts of hard drugs to face small fines, e.g. possession of less than a gram of heroin had a rarely enforced fine of $100 associated with possession.

  • The resultant problems of the law has led 60% of state residents to conclude the ill fated law has led to increased homelessness, addiction, and crime.

  • Now the state politicians are putting together legislation that would reverse their original decriminalization law.

  • Under the reversal proposal, possession fines could be as high as $1,250 and get someone 30 days in jail.


Another set of politicians, another failure relative to resolving a major societal  problem.


5)Many many times we have reviewed how millions of Americans are suffering today:


  • At any one time there are about 600,000 homeless Americans living on the street.

  • 17 million Americans are facing difficulties feeding themselves and their families.

  • Over 100,000 Americans die every year from drug overdoses.


And despite this suffering, the Washington political class is spending $20 billion elsewhere:


  • According to the Open the Books organization, Washington has spent $20,000,000,000 on illegal immigrants for “refugee and entrant assistance.”

  • The billions of dollars was spent via the Office of Refugee Resettlement which is part of the Health and Human Services organization.

  • $8,925 billion was spent in fiscal 2022 and $19.928 billion was spent in fiscal 2023.

  • Some of this money was spent on giving immigrants cash for college or technical school training while American families had to pay for these school options themselves.


As always, let’s do some basic math:


  • That $20 billion could theoretically feed every homeless American three meals a day for over 10 years.

  • That $20 billion could theoretically give over 3 million drug addicts a year of addiction treatment.


You get the idea: Washington would rather spend billions and billions of dollars on illegal immigrants in this one of many illegal immigrant  programs than help out struggling Americans. Some things never change.


That will do it for today: immigrants and refugees are still more important than Americans, politicians still have  no idea how to fix the drug addiction problem, politicians can still be sexual harassment deviants, Biden’s approval numbers sink as his Presidency fails, and Americans are not happy about how their tax dollars are being spent.
