Jeez…What A Mess We Are In

The absolute foolishness of the Biden Administration can be presented in four general categories: Justice, Economy, Education, Zaniness; logically resulting in the befuddled reaction JEEZ.  Of course, that sorting does not cover all of the liberal lunacy occurring in our government and society today…but it is a good start. 

 

Historically, administrations from both political parties have politicized the Department of Justice.  While the rank and file (as opposed to its patronage leadership) of the State Department (which deals mainly with foreign policy) is a largely ingrained bureaucracy impervious to partisanship, the FBI has often been manipulated by various administrations to help them combat opposing views and to aid in their pursuit of ideological agendas.   The FBI has simply proven to be more politically-malleable as compared to the State Department.  It is also likely true that people pay closer attention to domestic issues rather than foreign issues.

 

In either case, this abuse by elected officials in the administration of their duties is a prime example of misfeasance leading to malfeasance…and vice versa.  The problem with patronage has and always will be this…it is reasonable for elected officials to fill positions in their administration with people who align with their policy designs.  That is why we have elections.  The troubles begin when those individuals are selected solely or primarily on the basis of their politics and are either incompetent or unwilling to perform their appointed duties in a responsible and professional manner. The Biden Administration has taken this practice to levels not seen before.

 

Attorney General Merrick Garland is the top law enforcement official in America.  The example he sets regarding the administration of justice in this country has a trickledown effect on our entire culture and society; even to how the law is enforced in our counties and towns.  He has proven to be either an empty suit serving as a useful idiot for his advisers or a political hack plenty willing to subjugate ethics to politics.  He is an embarrassment to the term justice and this nation dodged a bullet when Senator McConnell kept him from being placed on the Supreme Court.

The child-like nature of the Biden Administration as demonstrated in its approach to our Economy is baffling.  Not content to allow a post-pandemic American engine of capitalism the freedom to literally explode from dormancy into a robust model of productivity, he foolishly force-fed liberal wokery into the economy of our nation.  And now that it has literally run off the cliff as a result of his machinations, he wanders around proclaiming…Whatever the hell happened, it is not MY fault! 

 

First off…he SHOULD know whatever the hell is happening because he is the President.  Secondly, everyone including his own Party TOLD HIM that the profligate federal spending he has initiated in the name of left lane lunacy would lead to the white-hot inflation rate that we are all experiencing today.  Incredibly, he STILL refuses to acknowledge that clear and universally-acknowledged connection.  He inexplicably clings to the notion that the fiscal disaster that is our economic reality is occurring IN SPITE OF his actions rather than BECAUSE of his actions.  His cluelessness is off the charts.

Perhaps the single most tragic mistake made by Biden in economic terms was his absolute destruction of America’s energy industry.  He inherited a situation where our nation was energy independent; literally EXPORTING energy sources to foreign nations.  Needless to say, this fact fostered many advantages in foreign policy; a fact painfully exhibited by our lack of influence in the Russia/Ukraine War. 

 

But the more painful and in your face results of Biden’s energy screwups show up at our gas stations and in our monthly household bills.  The cost of living is skyrocketing and the inflation thrusters show no sign of letting up.  The naïve attitude of the liberal set as illustrated by their fantastical Green New Deal thinking has destroyed our economy and if it continues, threatens to punish family households to an extent not seen in decades.

The woken madness of the liberal left has infected pretty much all aspects of our lives, but in no area has it been more apparent and destructive than in that of Education.  It seems as if the left has viewed our schools and colleges as vessels into which they could pour their ridiculous notions of liberalism regardless of its connection or relevance to the fundamental mission of learning.  NO OTHER SECTOR of our American way of life demands greater attention at this time and place than that of our children’s education.

In many ways, our schools and the activities associated with them serve as an intersection where the many highways of life that make up our culture and society meet up.   This combining of such powerful and diverse forces results in a mosaic that effectively illustrates a picture of living in America.  That picture is none too pretty these days.  https://sports.yahoo.com/youth-baseball-coach-fractured-72-year-old-umpires-jaw-ejection-branchburg-usabl-193451573.html

 

And into the final topic of Zaniness let us dump several items of interest.  You know…that word pretty well describes the Biden Administration from top to bottom.  A part of zany is the fact that even though ridiculous behavior oftentimes leads to bad, even tragic consequences…there are certain aspects of it that almost seem humorous.  Unfortunately, when the tragedy reaches a certain level, it becomes pretty damn hard to laugh.

 

The silly season of mid-term elections is upon us and will lead seamlessly into a robust and rabid campaign for the House, Senate, and White House.  Buckle up…it will be one wild ride.

Nowhere is zany more appropriate than the Biden Administration’s approach to racism and identity politics in America.  They are literally obsessed with it and mange to insert it in every…single…policy…initiative that they come in contact with.  If only they could focus on opportunity rather than equity.  If only they would look inside of folks…the content of their character…rather than at their outward appearances.

One of those times when it is difficult to laugh at Biden’s zaniness is when it crops up in his foreign policy.  What in the world is this old, senile man that is leading our nation on the world stage thinking these days?  https://amgreatness.com/2022/06/14/biden-is-sleepwalking-u-s-into-nuclear-war-with-russia/

 

There are many zany notions floating around when the discussion turns to gun control and gun violence.  It is so hard to find common ground when sincere people come to a subject with such varied and emotional ideas.  Could this be one of those rare moments when our Congress actually steps up to the plate and delivers a hit with runners in scoring position?  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/senate-gun-deal-vote-upcoming

 

And finally…we close with the best example today of authentic zany resulting from the combined efforts of the Biden Administration, the Democrat Party, the Congressional Democrats, and the mainstream media.  I am speaking, of course, about the public hearings being conducted by the Select House Committee into the events that occurred in WDC on January 6, 2021.  You could not erect a canvas tent, complete with clowns/sideshows/carnival barkers/flying pennants/snow cones/cotton candy, and be any closer to staging a circus than what we are seeing from this Democratic effort to politically lynch Donald Trump.  This group of partisan buffoons have taken a subject that demanded sober, deliberate, bipartisan, and transparent investigation and turned it into nothing less than a pathetic, partisan enterprise.

Now I have been pretty hard on Donald Trump in the past.  I have attacked his character, questioned his motives, and disparaged his personage in many other ways.  I do not support him as the Republican nominee in the upcoming presidential election and even considering my high level of affection for his policies, find him to be a symptom of our corrupted political system rather than a cure for it. 

 

Having said that…there cannot be any doubt that no President in my lifetime (nearly 70 years) has been more unjustly compromised and handicapped than Donald Trump.  While the opposing political party pulled out every conceivable stop to hamstring his effectiveness as Chief Executive, his own party essentially abandoned him at critical moments and secretly wished for his political failure.  The mainstream media sold their journalistic soul to the devil in an effort to bring him down and even his friends and close allies seemed to come and go with the political winds that blew through his term as President.

 

This hearing on the January 6, 2021 events is a travesty of legislative proceedings.  It is a purely partisan effort by the Democrats to politically pound Donald Trump into dust and destroy any possibility of his return to political relevance.  It is a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars and a dereliction of duty by elected officials who should be directing their time and resources towards more pressing issues.

 

The Select Committee, deviating from the normal course of events, has chosen not to present the opportunity for opposition presentation in their attacks on Trump.  They excluded Republicans who might raise opposing viewpoints and have structured the event to exclude cross-examination of witnesses that clearly have personal animus towards Donald Trump.  There is nothing fair or balanced about the whole thing.  In an effort to instill a bit of balance into the hearings, I am going to link to a lengthy response by Donald Trump to the hearings.  I do not support his words, but I embrace his right to voice his side of the story.
