March, 2024, Part 7, Political Class Insanity: Biden Is Delusional About The Bridge Collapse, Biden Offers Taxpayer Money To Fix the Same Bridge, NYC Mayor Not Safe In Texas, and a Potential Sexual Predator Loose In the White House

 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 efficiently operating any level of government in this country. 


Even their best efforts are almost always 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)We have very often talked about the many,  many lies that have  spewed out of Joe Biden’s mouth over the years. He lied about being in South Africa with Nelson Mandela. He lied about where he went to college. He lied about being a professor.  In fact, the following link captured 38 of his most famous lies, not a comprehensive list:


https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2023/01/38-times-that-joe-biden-blatantly-lied.html


And he recently continued his lying ways:


  • As most folks probably know, a container ship recently hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge in  Baltimore.

  • Sadly, the bridge collapsed which killed several innocent folks in the process.

  • In discussing the tragedy, Biden claimed that many times he had commuted from his home in Delaware to DC by train that went over the bridge: “At about 1:30 [a.m.], a container ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which I’ve been over many, many times commuting from the state of Delaware either on a train or by car.”

  • Unfortunately, the bridge never had a railroad connection over it, it was strictly a four lane road for cars and other vehicles, commuting over the bridge by train was impossible simply because no train line and tracks traversed the bridge.


Unbelievable that he would state such an impossibility. Either he believes this myth or he thinks we are too stupid to check his statement. In either case, not the type of behavior one would want in a President, either delusional or lacking any faith in our intelligence.


2)Continuing with the bridge collapse, Biden almost immediately claimed that the Federal  government would pay to restore the bridge as soon as possible. Which makes no sense:


  • The Federal  government, which is really a representative of the American taxpayer, had nothing to do with this accident and tragedy.

  • The owner of the ship that hit the bridge and caused it to collapse is a major international shipping company, Maersk.

  • I am pretty sure that Maersk carries business insurance to protect itself from accidents.


Thus, why should the American taxpayer pay to rebuild the bridge? Maersk and  its insurers should pay for the damage and  disaster they created. It makes no sense that Biden  would immediately offer to use Federal government taxpayer money to cover the rebuilding.


But given that Biden is so  delusional that he thinks that he often traveled over the bridge on a non-existent rail line, idiocy like this should not be unexpected.


3)New York City politicians, including current mayor Eric Adams, have sanctimoniously and pompously declared over the years that they were better than others who did not support sanctuary cities, cities where illegal immigrants were protected by the local political class from Federal government agencies. They were so proud of their shallow empathy for illegal  immigrants.


But they have been  hit with the cold reality of being a sanctuary city since Biden became President.  Under Biden, border security has been almost non-existent and millions and millions of unvetted and unvaccinated people have poured over our borders. 180,000 of these illegal immigrants have  found their way to New York City and this flood has forced politicians like Adams to divert taxpayer dollars away from their taxpayer services like police, education, recreation, etc.


Along with the large influx of  illegal  immigrants has come a huge increase in crime from South and Central American gang members who now roam the streets of New York.  Thus, not only are taxpayers getting fewer services for their tax dollars,  but their very safety is now more threatened by being a sanctuary city.


I review all of the above because NYC mayor Adams recently planned a visit to the southern border to see for himself what the illegal immigrant situation is:


  • The mayor was scheduled to visit Brownsville and McLean, Texas, the frontline for illegal immigration.

  • He was supposed to meet with Federal immigration officials on the border to get a firsthand view of the reality there.

  • But the State Department outlined safety concerns and the mayor ended up canceling his trip for his own protection.

  • However,  back in October he took a four day trip through Latin America to plead with people to not make the dangerous trip to the U.S.  border and that New York City was “at capacity,” i.e. the city could not handle any more illegal  immigrants.


Two comments: First, they say karma's a bitch  and his preaching and bragging about being a sanctuary city has come back to bite him and the unfortunate residents of his city.  Second, think about it: he was able to travel around Latin America without any safety concerns but he cannot visit two U.S.  border cities since his safety was a concern. 


That is a perfect description of how bad Biden’s  immigration policies have failed: a U.S. mayor, with armed guards, cannot visit other cities in the country without possibly being in harm’s way. Imagine how his mostly unarmed citizens feel about their safety as a result of the illegal immigration fiasco and the  designation from  their politicians of being a “sanctuary city.”


4)Democrats like Biden often claim that they are the more tolerant wing of American politics and that they are more sensitive to issues of women, sexual orientation, and  minorities. But karma is raising its head again when situations like the following pop up:


  • Anthony Bernal is a very top aide to Democrat First Lady, Jill Biden.

  • He has been accused of making tremendously inappropriate comments about others’ genitalia and sexual orientation.

  • At least three former Biden  White House employees have accused him of allegedly speculating about others' penis sizes and  others’ sexualities.

  • On top of these gross behaviors he is viewed as a bully, a demanding, and overbearing boss who has made coworkers cry by spreading demeaning gossip about them.

  • This type of behavior had previously been reported by Politico and in a book by a New York  Times reporter and yet,  apparently nothing has been  done to reprimand him for his behavior.

  • The White House chief of staff, Jeff Zients, has refused to investigate the accusation and thus, according to sexual harassment experts, has left the White House open to potential and serious sexual harassment liability danger.


So much  for Biden’s assertion that he promotes respect and dignity in the White House staff. Just another example of the political class mantra, “do as I say,  not as I do.


That will  do  it for today: Biden lies again or is delusional about his train travel, Biden volunteers our tax money to pay for a bridge collapse that we had nothing to do with, Eric Adams cannot safely visit another U.S. city, and Biden’s White House might be a haven for at least one sexual predator.

December, 2021, Part 3, Political Class Insanity: The Coming Collapse Of Social Security and Medicare, Clinton Hung Out With A Pedophile, and Freedom Across The Country

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) For over a decade we have pointed out and discussed the reality that the American political class is basically filled with people not smart enough, courageous enough, or focused enough on protecting the taxpayer wealth that we pay them via our ever growing tax burden. They have taken tens of trillions of dollars and really not fixed anything in this country that is broken, be it a crumbling infrastructure of roads, bridges and dams, our failing public education system, our deteriorating military capabilities, etc.

They have wasted untold trillions on foreign aid that does us no good, bloated and ineffective Federal bureaucracies, and caring for, feeding, clothing, and housing millions of illegal immigrants., As a result of their incompetence and greed, we have pointed out that this country is headed to a huge financial collapse in the not too distant future as the unfunded Federal government liabilities (over $80 trillion and counting) and the skyrocketing national debt (over $30 trillion and counting) will crash the economic well being of the government, the country, and every U.S. citizen.

And despite knowing all of this, the current people in office in Washington have no clue or inclination to fix what they have broken, even given the latest dire economic and government debt analysis:
  • According to a recent Treasury report, the Social Security Trust Fund is forecasted to go broke 12 years from now, one year sooner than the previous estimate.
  • This change in the collapse was attributed to the pandemic impact on the economy.
  • In addition, Medicare’s hospital insurance fund is expected to go broke even sooner, 2026.
  • “The finances of both programs have been significantly affected by the pandemic and the recession of 2020,” the Treasury said in the new materials they released. The combined impacts of a massive decrease in employment, refusal to return to the workforce, artificially manipulated interest rates, earnings, inflation, and GDP, as well as increased mortality for the next few years. “all significantly impact the outlook of the programs.”
Not a pretty picture. But as we have previously pointed out, both Medicare and Social Security are already bankrupt, these new dates from the Treasury Department only reflect accounting tricks. Both programs have not been self-sufficient for years, relying on general tax revenue to sustain themselves at current spending levels. The taxes earmarked in all of our paychecks for both programs no longer can pay out the benefits that politicians have promised.

And yet, foreign aid continues to flow to usually foreign dictatorships, the Federal bureaucracy gets bigger, more expensive and less effective every year, and there is no one in Washington sounding the alarm on this pending disaster.This disaster will eventually reduce seniors' Social Security payments every month by at least 20% and will make Medicare and healthcare more expensive for millions of retired folks living on a mostly fixed income stream.

There are ways to fix the problem, many of which were laid out in our book, “Love My Country, Loathe My Government:”
  • Raise the retirement age to 70 for those Americans that have sufficient sources of other income to survive in order to extend the saved revenue for those that really need the money to survive.
  • Stop payments to anyone that has personal assets of at least three million dollars since they do not need a Social Security check to live a normal life. Folks like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Donald Trump, Nancy Pelosi, etc., people with untold millions of dollars of net worth, should not be depleting the limited funds of Social Security and Medicare.
  • Stop all foreign aid, stop encouraging illegal immigration, and stop the growth of the Federal government and allocate those saved funds to actually serving millions and millions of Americans who are dependent on Social Security and Medicare.
I doubt that Washington politicians have the guts, courage, and brains to fix what they have broken and eventually the collapse of both Social Security and Medicare will represent the biggest disaster ever managed by the American political class.

2) As most of you know, Jeffery Epstein, friend of the rich and powerful around the world, was one of the worst sexual predators ever when it came to abusing and molesting young girls. And his alleged partner in such disgusting behaviors, Ghislane Maxwell, is currently on trial for abetting his perversion.

As a result of testimony at the trial we are finding out that a lot of powerful people may have also indulged in Epstein’s disgusting behaviors. Specifically:
  • In just two years, between 1993 and 1995, Epstein visited the Clinton White House 17 times.
  • Three times he visited the White House twice in the same day.
  • This was when Maxwell was allegedly finding underage girls for Epstein to have sex with.
  • A picture exists where both Epstein and Maxwell were with Clinton during a fundraising event at the White House.
  • We also know that Clinton rode on Epstein’s private plane over two dozen times, often without any Secret Service detail to watch over him.
  • And while denying he ever went to Epstein’s private island where Epstein is known to have abused many underage girls, others have stated that he was indeed there multiple times.
What a mess, a former President allegedly tied up doing who knows what with the sexual predator Epstein. A sad commentary on the morals of American politicians.

3) The beauty of this country is that it has been the home of possibly the most freedom oriented society in the history of humanity. Guided by the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, the freedoms promised by the Founding Fathers have ensured that Americans have generally been freer than citizens in other countries.

But it has been a battle to protect those freedoms and rights, a battle that continues to this day. With dictator-like politicians denying us our freedoms in the name of covid protection, with higher and higher taxation levels that help restrict our life decisions and options, and woke politicians that are all too willing to sacrifice our freedom because someone somewhere got their feelings hurt, freedom is under attack in this country.

But the loss of freedom has not been consistent across the country according to a recent analysis:
  • The Cato Institute recently released its most recent “Freedom in the 50 States” analysis.
  • Factors in the study included state fiscal policy, government regulations and civil liberties.
  • The top five states from a freedom perspective are New Hampshire (freest state), Florida, Nevada, Tennessee, and South Dakota.
  • The bottom five states from a freedom perspective are New York (least free state), Hawaii, California, New Jersey, and Oregon.
As we have pointed out any number of times, states like New York, New Jersey, and California have the highest tax rates in the country, taking a very high percentage of their citizens’ earnings to support the state and local governments in the state. When the government takes a high percentage of workers’ earnings, workers and their families have fewer options and freedoms to live their lives as they would like: less money and freedom to send their kids to better schools, less freedom and money to possibly start a business, less money and freedom to buy a better house, car, etc.

And these financial limitations have recently been combined with onerous covid restrictions on freedom, with the most onerous restriction coming from the politicians running the least free states to begin with.

All of this leads to a question about the country’s future: are we going to continue to cede our economic and political freedom to an ever greedy political class like the politicians in Oregon, California, New Jersey et al, or is it possible to reverse the loss of freedom and follow the examples of Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada et al?

That will do it today for political class insanity: the impending near term collapse of Social Security and Medicare, the collapse of morality and integrity of the political class as witnessed by Bill Clinton’s close relationship with pedophile Epstein, and the dangerous, potential collapse of freedom in the country. Dangerous times.

August, 2021, Part 2, Political Class Insanity: More "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" Hypocrisy and Biden Gets Touchy And Feely Again

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) American politicians have to be one of the most hypocritical segments of the American population, “do as I say, not as I do” types. During the pandemic we discussed the fact that many politicians implemented stringent lockdown rules and edicts but then went out and violated the very rules they require of everyone else. They are willing to defund the police and reduce our protection from criminals but then go and hire private security guards, usually using taxpayer money, to protect themselves.

And Joe Biden is no different relative to a fellow politician:
  • As most people know, about a dozen women have come forward and accused New York governor, Andrew Cuomo, of sexual harassment and assault.
  • A recent report by the New York Attorney General concluded that these are mostly true accusations and the governor may have violated both Federal and state laws against sexual harassment.
  • Many Democrats have publicly called for Cuomo to resign including Joe Biden.
  • Biden had previously stated that Cuomo should resign if the accusations prove true.
  • With the latest report published, he was recently asked about his assertion to which he replied, “I stand by that statement….Listen, I’m not gonna flyspeck this. I am sure that there were some embraces that were totally innocent, but apparently the attorney general decided there were things that weren’t.”
  • According to the report: “Cuomo harassed multiple women, many of whom were young women, by engaging in unwanted groping, kisses, hugging, and by making inappropriate comments,” according to Attorney General Leticia James. The behavior showed a “pattern,” the investigators said, they “found all 11 women to be credible.”
So it does not look good for Cuomo and Biden was probably right to call for his resignation. But if Cuomo should resign, shouldn’t Biden also resign in order to not be a hypocrite? Consider a previous discussion we had in this blog regarding Biden’s disgusting history of being a sexual predator:
  • Tara Reade - 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. Murray 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. Murray 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.”
Also grounds for resignation if truth be told. But you know Biden will not resign since it is in the American politician gene pool to be a hypocrite regardless of the atrocity they then commit but tell others not to commit.

2) Staying with Biden as a sexual predator theme, consider a recent disclosure by a young woman:
  • Maria Piacesi, a young woman, has recently disclosed that Biden sexually abused her when she was 8 years old at a photo op.
  • She claims that Biden actually pinched her nipple in public and when asked if Biden actually did that, she said yes.
  • She went on to say, “I would do something about it tbh if I thought it would help but I honestly just think at this point it would just make people angry and I have already had people calling me out saying I’m lying this is bs even tho it’s not but I just don’t think it would help with anything right now”
  • Now, everyone is entitled to their opinion and can argue with this young lady that it didn't happen, it was the imagination of an 8 year old in a gathering of adults.
  • However, there is video proof that he did indeed do the act and the video shows her flinching immediately after it happens, as proven in the following video:
https://freedomheadlines.com/freedom-wire/whooaa-little-girl-groped-by-joe-biden-confirms-what-he-did-to-her-video/

Based on the video, I say he did it and not only should he resign for this act and other sexual predator acts, he should go to jail for sexual assault. But he is an American politician, laws and rules do not apply to him.

3) Looks like this will be a politician hypocrisy post today. Barack Obama got very, very rich being President. Which is a little difficult to believe since for 8 years his gross government salary came out to about $3.2 million. After taxes, that is probably about $2.4 million in take home pay. His wife did not work those years so she did not contribute any salary to the Presidential household. Now, they both sold books so that is additional income but I still find it difficult to believe that he is able to own a $12 million, 30 acre mansion on Martha’s Vineyard and two other properties that I am sure are not small bungalows.

But his wealth accumulation is a topic for another blog. Obama recently announced that for his upcoming 60th birthday, he was going to have about 700 of his closest friends and family come to his birthday gala on Martha Vineyard. In a time of the great covid pandemic, he was going to have 700 people gather and massage his ego on his 60th birthday.

Now imagine if you lived in California or New York or Michigan, states that have had draconian lockdown and covid rules for over a year. How quickly do you think the local politicians would have the police break up your intimate gathering of 700 friends you were having over for your birthday? You would be castigated for hosting a “super spreader” covid disaster and would be fined and possibly jailed. In fact, I would be if you had only 70 people over for your birthday that you would be in serious covid trouble with authorities.

But an American politician, again thinking that rules and regulations do not apply to him, had no problem putting together a 700 super spreader even for people flying in from all over the world. Incredible hypocrisy. Fortunately, for the rest of the world, Obama was shamed into significantly downsizing the gala event to a few close friends and family.

But the reality is that if word had not gotten out about 700 people getting together in close quarters for an American politician's birthday party, the event would have gone on. You cannot tell me that Obama did not know what was going on in the world relative to the pandemic and the lockdown and safety rules that have been harshly imposed on the rest of us. He just thought that those rules did not apply to him.

“Do as I say, not as I do.” This is the creed of the American political class, those taxpayers that support their easy, lavish, and well paying lifestyles be damned.

February, 2021, Part 8, Political Class Insanity: California Continues To Self-Destruct, Whitmer Continues to Choke Economic Growth in Michigan and A Biden Employee Gets The Sexual Predator Ax

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) We have previously spoken about the disregard Biden has for women's individual space. He is handsy, groping, and possibly a sexual predator, at least according to one woman, Tara Reade, behavior that is despicable from anyone, never mind the President of the United States. Well, it appears that at least one member of his White House staff also had a similar disregard and disrespect for women:

  • Assistant Press secretary for Biden, T.J. Ducklo, recently got himself in some hot water with disgusting comments directed at a female reporter.
  • Apparently, Ducklo threatened to “destroy” Politico reporter, Tara Palmeri, for her reporting on his personal relationship with another woman using vulgar accusations and words I will not print here.
  • He was initially given a week suspension without pay and forced to apologize to Ms. Palmeri.
  • This was obviously a slap on the wrist given what Biden promised he would do when someone harassed or intimidated someone else: “I am not joking when I say this, if you are ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect … talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot. On the spot. No ifs, ands or buts. Everybody is entitled to be treated with decency and dignity. That’s been missing in a big way the last four years.”

So, obviously there was a big disconnect between what Biden promised and what initially happened to Ducklo. The good news is that after taking incredible heat for the minimal punishment, Biden had to fire Ducklo to save face and what little credibility he has when it comes to harassing women. But as always with politicians, it is “do as I say, not as I do” and T.J. Ducklo was not high enough up the political ladder to be protected by this axiom. Unfortunately, for Tara Reade and others, Biden is high enough up on the political ladder not to get fired “on the spot.”

2) We have often talked about how many Democrat-run states and cities across the country are going to go bankrupt in a very short amount of time. The politicians in these cities and states continually raise current tax rates, impose new taxes, fail to deliver basic government services, and generally reduce the freedom of residents and businesses in those states.

As a result, it has always been our position that people and businesses will move when they feel they are paying higher and higher taxes for fewer and fewer government services and benefits, both in quantity and quality, and their freedom is being curtailed. Examples we have given include:
  • The states with the highest outward migration of residents are almost always Illinois, California, New York, and New Jersey, four of the states we predict will be the first states to go bankrupt.
  • Over a relatively recent period of time, Toyota, Charles Schwab, Tesla, and many other California businesses have moved major parts of their businesses out of state.
  • Rich Californians including Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, and Ben Shapiro have moved out of state in search of lower tax rates and more freedom.
  • Tesla decided NOT to put its electric truck factory in California, deciding instead to move this major effort to low tax, high freedom Texas.
  • This has resulted in a shrinking tax base in these states and cities which has reduced the tax revenue stream which forces politicians to raise taxes which forces even more businesses and residents to leave and the financial death spiral is in place.
And a major California company is threatening to make this deteriorating situation even worse:
  • The California governor, Gavin Newsom and his political allies, have made it very difficult to do business in California during the pandemic with their widespread lockdowns, especially for businesses that are entertainment focused.
  • And now the biggest entertainment company of all, Disney, is considering moving some of its California operations out of state.
  • In a recent public statement, the company said: "As the largest employer in central Florida, we are always exploring opportunities for additional locations within the vicinity of our theme park but there is nothing concrete."
  • This statement comes in light of statements by the company chairman, Bob Chapek, that the lockdown rules in California because of the pandemic are “arbitrary.”
  • I am sure he is not happy since the governor refuses to allow the California Disney property to open even though Disneyworld in Florida has been open and safe for months: "We are extremely disappointed that the State of California continues to keep Disneyland closed despite our proven track record. Our health and safety protocols are all science-based and have the support of labor unions representing 99% of our hourly cast members," Chapek said during a November earnings call with investors.
Raising taxes, unnecessarily shutting down businesses, and providing sub-optimal government services is no way to run a state...unless you are trying to run it into the ground. And yet the politicians in states like California continue the same policies and arrogance that is forcing their tax base to shrink and the out migration of residents and businesses to accelerate.

3) But the California brand of political insanity is not restricted to California. Gretchen Whitmer in Michgian has done quite the job of shutting down her state with draconian, unnecessary, and often just plain stupid lockdown and other inane restrictions, many of which we have already discussed. Put her name in the search box above to see some of the insanity she has rained down on her residents and businesses.

Her inability to have any common sense during the pandemic has brought forth the following types of economic destruction on her state residents and businesses:
  • Just in December, 2020 Michigan lost 64,400 jobs.
  • This made the state attain the 11th highest joblessness rate in the country.
  • The Michigan Restaurant and Lodging Association (MRLA) called out the Democrat governor, claiming that Whitmer’s orders have caused over 100,000 workers in the hospitality and small operations sectors to lose their jobs and face bankruptcy.
  • Thus, while other states were safely reopening its economy, Whitmer kept her’s shut down, causing economic hardship for hundreds of thousands of state residents.
  • By the way, while thousands were losing their wages and salaries, she continued to draw her salary while preventing others from drawing their salaries.
Another failed politician with failed policies. It would not surprise anyone if in the next few years we see that her actions and failures have caused Michigan to join the other states listed above to go into the same death spiral as residents and businesses leave for greener, less taxing, and freer pastures.

Enough insanity for today: Michigan on the verge of a death spiral, California continues to self destruct, and Biden sacrifices a peon for sexual predator actions while he slides free of the same action for similar infractions.

October, 2020, Part 3, Political Class Insanity: Take the Presidential Quiz, Donald Trump or Joe Biden?

 Before we get into today’s discussion, a Presidential quiz of Trump vs. Biden, consider the following facts:


  • I have never voted for a Republcian President in my life.

  • Thus, I did not vote for Trump.

  • When I lived in New Jersey, I was a registered Democrat for a while.


Keep these facts in mind when you take the following Presidential quiz, “Trump or Biden”:


Sexual Predator

If you answered Joe Biden to each of the above quiz questions you would be 100% correct. Joe Biden, as the above 46 statements seem to indicate, is and has been a serial sexual groper and predator for a very long time. His racist comments and attitudes stretch back decades. He lies at the drop of a hat. His foreign policy decisions and positions have never been right. His corruption, self enrichment and enrichment of his family totals millions and millions of dollars. And his statements of idiocy show that his intellectual depth is not that great. 


His over four decade career in Washington politics is void of any significant, positive achievement except for making his family fabulously wealthy. His positions and work have caused the negative disruption of millions of lives, from his advocacy of the Clinton crime bill and the detrimental effect it has had on minorities in this country to his support of stupid foreign wars in Iraq and Libya which has unnecessarily devastated the lives of millions of people overseas. He is not a friend of Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, preferring to support the PLO and Israel’s mortal enemy, Iran.


I welcome anyone to give me 46 reasons why Biden should be elected and would be an effective leader, given his dismal record of politics, foreign policy, and human decency as illustrated by the 46 points above.


But I also have another problem, a deeply personal problem, with the Biden campaign. I was once the long-time co-guardian of an uncle who suffered terribly from dementia. I saw close up what a horrible fate and a horrible end of life experience this disease is. It robs a person of their dignity and their life experiences. And I believe that Joe Biden is in the throes of a similar fate, given his recent behaviors of confusion, aggression, and inability to string two or three thoughts together, the symptoms my uncle exhibited throughout his mental decline.


Thus, I find it disgusting, inhumane, and a severe form of elder abuse that his wife, his family, his friends, and his party handlers would subject him to the rigors, stress, and humiliations of a Presidential campaign for their own benefit. I personally do not feel he is fit from a cognitive ability perspective to be President and for his inner circle of friends and family to put him through this experience when he should be relaxing and enjoying the remaining years of his life, given his mental state, is personally repugnant to me. May they find their just rewards either in this life or the next life for their selfish use and abuse of a senior citizen in distress and for putting the country in this position.
