May, 2026, Political Class Insanity, Part 2: Politicians Continue to Be Constitution Ignorant, Virginia Politicians Want More Taxation, More Accusations Against Swalwell, and More

 We have spent a lot of recent posts discussing the race  to bankruptcy court that many state and city governments are involved in and the massive and disturbing fraud that has infested just about every  government program, stealing billions and billions of taxpayer dollars. However, the ongoing stupidity, ignorance, and greed of the American political class has continued unabated and we will try to bring readers up-to-date on what they are screwing up now:


1)Wes Moore  is the governor of the state of Maryland. In a recent interview he showed what a  weak,  shallow parent he also is:


  • He indicated that he would allow his underaged  son to undergo a sex change procedure if that is what the  kid wanted.

  • Forget about any long term consequences of pumping up a kid with chemicals and  hormones, if that is what the young kid wants that is what the good governor would allow to happen.

  • His exact words: “You know, it’s my son, so I love him regardless. And he's always going to have my undying love. That's me, right? I want to make sure that I'm involved in understanding where he is, how he's feeling, the way he's feeling, why he thinks it's important. If this is a journey that he wants to go down, I want him to always be comfortable in his own skin, and I want him to always know that he has a partner in me to help him along that journey.”

  • When asked if he would  encourage  his son to wait until  he was 18 years old and legally an adult, he said he would  not get in the way of his son’s wishes: “If this is how he is feeling, and I feel like I'm closely tied to him, I'm not going to advise him on something that he feels is right. The most important thing to me is that I want him to feel safe in his own skin, safe in his own decision-making, but also know that at 14 years old, I want to be involved in that process as well.”


What pathetic parenting  and  leadership. It seems  that if his son wanted to  snort cocaine or get drunk on alcohol he  would support that decision  also  if that is the “journey that he wants  to go down.”  In fact, doing cocaine once or getting drunk once is much safer than getting a sex change operation that would have long, and possibly life long, downsides and implications. Being a parent is being a parent to your kid, not a friend  and associate to them. Again,  pathetic parenting.


2)We  have talked about the  following  topic in a previous post but let’s update the shenanigans of the Virginia politicians. Rather than make inefficient government programs more  efficient or make stupid and ineffective government programs  and spending go  away, they would prefer to  take the easy governing route,  just raise taxes. The  list of items and services they want to start taxing is long and will hurt affordability of living in the state  for EVERYONE:


  • Gym memberships.

  • Streaming services such as Netflix.

  • Storage facilities.

  • Counseling,

  • Dry cleaning.

  • Vehicle  repair.

  • Website  design.

  • Data storage.


These  new taxes would be  on top of the existing taxes such as income taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, and state income taxes. If the state political class is not careful, it may join the list of states and cities that are committing financial  suicide by raising taxes over and over,  driving out residents and business to more tax friendly states and cities.


The hypocrisy of this whole taxation insanity is if the legislation passes these new  taxes, Spanberger, the new governor, would be faced with a dilemma: she campaigned on a promise to  make living in  Virginia more affordable.  But signing off on  these  new taxes would certainly make her look like  either  a hypocrite or  outright liar since starting up at least eight new taxes on products and services most residents need makes Virginia  more  unaffordable.


3)Eric Swalwell used to be  a  U.S.Congressman. Eric Swalwell  used  to be  a Congressman  who  allegedly had an  affair with a  Communist  Chinese operative.  Eric Swalwell used to be  a candidate for the governorship  of California.  Eric  Swalwell had  to  resign from Congress due to alleged sexual  harassment and predatory behavior.

But the accusations of  improper  and quite disgusting behavior from a former member of  Congress  just keeps  on coming:


  • Although he recently resigned  from Congress due to multiple  accusations  of  sexual assault  including rape, the flow  of new allegations  keeps on coming.

  • According to  Gateway Pundit reporting, there are reports  of  more  women  coming  forward to accuse Swalwell of allegedly sending explicit  sexual content to  them including videos of him pleasuring himself.

  • He used Snapchat to send the videos.

  • According to CNN:  “Former Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell was accused by multiple women of sending sexual messages, including ‘videos of him masturbating,’ after becoming one of the first members of Congress to join Snapchat in an effort to restore ‘faith’ in ‘democracy.’” 

  • Furthermore,  CNN said that “more than a dozen” women said Swalwell made them feel uncomfortable, both in person and online, over many years.

  • And despite  all of this  embarrassment  and  despicable behavior, other news sources allege  that Swalwell is still  communicating with former interns.


Unbelievable  that a member of Congress could have such an alleged low life. The  complete write up of his behaviors can be accessed at the  following link:

4)Unfortunately, when many politicians open  their mouths you wonder how  they ever got into positions of power in the  government,  given  their wide ranging  ignorance. 


The queen  of  such behaviors  over the past few years has  been Congresswoman. Alexandria  Ocasio-Cortez. Her verbal idiocy is too wide ranging  to review here but one of her most famous ignorant gaffes  was when she claimed that the U.S.  government had  three parts: the Executive branch, the House of  Representatives, and the Senate. Apparently, the Supreme Court does not make her top  three list. The background on  her lack of knowledge on  this topic can be accessed at the following link:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80VObga-2n0


But a recent sign of  ignorance from a Pennsylvania candidate for the  House  of Representatives comes pretty close to a  typical Ocasio-Cortez screw up:


  • The  candidate in question  is Dr. Ala Sanford.

  • In a recent NBC  interview  in Philadelphia, she was asked to explain her position that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department should be abolished  and if so, who would be responsible for  enforcing existing immigration laws.

  • First off, she had no answer as witnessed by this response: That’s a good question…And you can…I just want to think about it.” 

  • So, she wants to get rid  of ICE but has no answer on how to do their  function.

  • When  pressed for an answer, she  came up with this word salad: “Who do I think should be in charge of enforcing immigration laws? Not the executive branch. So not the president. It belongs with Congress.”

  • Which is where her true ignorance comes out  since it is very clear in the Constitution that the executive branch/the President is to execute laws passed by Congress, Congress has nothing to do with executing laws  it  passes.


Much like Ocasio-Cortez did  not know the three  branches  of government,  this candidate for Congress  does not  know how  the Constitution  works.  It makes you wonder how these people get nominated and sometimes elected in the first place, so ignorant of basic Constitutional tenets  that they are supposed to uphold.


The interview can be  accessed at:

What did we learn today: a candidate for congress does not understand the Constitution, Swalwell may be  more despicable than previously known, Virginia politicians are about to go tax crazy, and the governor of Maryland  is a lousy parent.

April, 2026, Part 3, Political Class Insanity: Obama Fesses Up On Obama Care Failures, Voting Irregularities In Colorado, and A Governor's Approval Rating Tanks Quickly

 We have been spending a lot of time lately dissecting the race to bankruptcy court,  i.e. what state government or city government will go bankrupt first. Many  Democratic states and cities have already entered into financial death spirals as their taxpayer base erodes but the politicians running these cities and states cannot or will not reduce government  spending or make government operations more efficient to cope with the shrinking tax base. 


The last two posts on this topic can  be found at the following links:


https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2026/04/the-race-to-bankruptcy-court-proof-that.html


https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2026/04/the-race-to-bankruptcy-court-california.html


However, we will take a break from this bankruptcy race and discuss some good old fashioned political class insanity for the next few posts.


1)Long ago we had extensive discussion on  how flawed and stupid the Obama Care legislation and process was and still is. Those supporting Obama Care tenets were trying to solve a public health problem with economic solutions and, of course, that all failed. Americans are overweight, they do not exercise enough, they eat too much of the wrong kind of food and their addictions (tobacco, alcohol, drugs) are the public health causes of high health care and high health insurance costs. 


If you do not address those underlying causes, any solution is doomed to failure.  If Americans lost weight, exercised more, stopped smoking, and  ate better, there would be no need for economic voodoo solutions to try and  tame rising health  care costs.


But that did not stop Obama from making many grandiose proclamations on how Obama Care was going to cure the ills of the American health system:


  • EVERY American would be able to  afford and be  covered by affordable health  insurance under Obama Care.

  • You would not have  to give up your current doctors under Obama Care.

  • Obama Care would “bend the health  care cost curve" to reduce the growth in health insurance and health care costs.


Of course none of  this came true:


  • Millions of people  lost access to their favorite doctors.

  • According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, a health  care advocacy organization, almost 27 million Americans still do not have  health insurance coverage.

  • Almost 62% of those uninsured told Kaiser that they could  not afford the coverage.

  • And total  cost of health care in the country rose about 41% from 2010, the year Obama Care took effect, until 2023, hardly bending the cost curve since this increase in healthcare costs was higher than  the increase in  overall  inflation over those years which was under 40%.


Not surprisingly, Obama Care flopped and  did not deliver  any results close to what was promised. But that did not stop Obama from trying to dress up the Obama Care pig in a recent interview when he proclaimed that Obama Care was a “first step” toward expanding and improving affordability of health  care and health care insurance in the country. He cited protections for individuals with pre-existing conditions,  allowing kids to stay on their parents’ health plans longer, and expanding Medicaid.


However, absent from  his remarks was his promise to get every American  affordable health  insurance (27 million Americans today do  not have health  insurance with cost being the major factor), was his promise to bend the cost curve (Obama Care did not bend any curves), and Americans are just as unhealthy today as they were in  2010 since the economic solution to the problem did not reduce obesity, improve exercise habits, improve eating habits or break addictions.


And it seems Obama knows it was a flop since he went from grandstanding  promises in 2010 to this is a good “first step.”  We said it would  be ineffective and a financial  disaster 13-14 years ago and we were correct.


2)One of the most important functions in a free country is the principle of “one person, one vote.” Every citizen of a country should be able to express their opinions at the voting booth and know that their vote will be treated with  integrity and that the process is an  accurate reflection of what  voters want.


Obviously, the 2020 Presidential  campaign was anything but that, as we have discussed dozens of times. That election was corrupt, out of integrity,  and an insult to democracy and the voters who honestly thought their votes would be fairly counted and treated. We will not go into the dozens of instances where we showed how the voting process was stolen and corrupted and as a result, Joe Biden got an amazing 81,000,000 votes, the largest, and most corrupted vote total  by far, from a historical basis. Go back to our posts in late 2020 and early 2021 for the many ways we proved voting  corruption.


But over time more and more evidence has come out showing how shady  and corrupt that election was with the following just the latest news about shady dealings in  the voting counting areas:


  • We recently reported on how a Georgia audit of the 2020 voting for President in that state found over 300,000 votes that should have never been  counted in the election results given how shady and illegally counted they were.

  • And now we have a similar situation out in Colorado.

  • A lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch has forced the state government of Colorado to remove 372,000 ineligible voter registrations from its voting rolls.

  • The lawsuit showed how the Colorado Secretary of State, Jena Griswold, and  other state voting officials, violated the National  Voter Registration Act of 1993 by allowing voter registration rates to exceed the number of eligible voters actually living in various state counties, incurred delays in identifying and scrubbing out of state moves by voters, and identified thousands of inactive voters in  eight counties.


Operating incompetence relative to voting registration  and monitoring processes does not mean  that elections were rigged and biased because of voting improprieties. However, the potential  for voter fraud, especially via  mail-in  voting, is huge when hundreds of thousands of people are on the voting rolls who  should not  be. Another example of  political  class and  government bureaucrat incompetence that endangers a very basic tenet of freedom, clean and  honest elections and election processes.


3)After a politician is elected to office their favorability approval ratings almost always start to  slide slowly downward since they usually cannot fulfill their campaign promises. However, the recently elected governor of Virginia has possibly set the record for the quickest slip in approval ratings by any politician…ever:


  • Abigail Spanberger was recently elected as Virginia governor.

  • Keep in mind that she campaigned on a number of voter friendly issues like making the cost of living in the state more affordable, being against extreme gerrymandering of Congressional  districts, and other generally centrist issues.

  • Shortly after taking  office, she and her cronies in the  legislature proposed a whole slew of new taxes that will make living in the state much more expensive and supported a radical gerrymandering plan that is likely un-Constitutional.

  • Her flip flop on illegal immigration control has led to a series of recent murders in  the state, the majority of which likely were committed by illegal  immigrants.

  • Thus, within a few months her  approval rating did not  slip a little, her   favorability rating dropped to 47%, a level that is 13% lower than the average of all new Virginia governors going back  to the 1990s.

  • Her favorability rating is a whopping nine points below what her predecessor Glenn Youngkin, was pulling at the same time in his term.

Again, a newly installed politician  usually sees a drop in popularity shortly after taking office.  But her bait and switch effort from her nice sounding campaign issues to her real  actions while in office show that the people in Virginia have quickly realized they may have  made a big mistake in their voting preference. And it is going to cost them from a tax, cost of living, crime rate, and gerrymandering perspective.

It will be interesting to see how far and how fast her approval rating falls, she certainly has done a great job destroying her credibility in a very short time already.  Wait until those many, many new taxes take effect. Gonna be a fun, downward ride to watch.

That will do  it  for today: a record-setting decline in popularity in Virginia, more voting incompetence  and/or shenanigans , this time in  Colorado, and Obama tries to hedge his bet when it  comes to the disaster that is Obama Care.
