The Democrat Way

Between the spending, the taxing, the FBI-raiding, the State Attorney Generals’ Trump hunting, reinventing the “woke” military, race hustling, screwing up foreign affairs, tilting at windmills (pun intended), and propping up the old fool in the White House…. It is difficult to see how the Democrats have time for anything else.  On second thought…. I guess they don’t do anything else.  Oh…. And then there is the old Republican habit of continually stepping on their own package.

 

Let us begin with the further corruption and downfall of the Department of Justice and all it encompasses.  What a freakin’ joke.  These guys make the Watergate bandits look like master jewel thieves.  And for the record…. Donald Trump is the reason Wray still runs the FBI and Mitch McConnell is the reason Garland is not on the Supreme Court.

The Democrats pass their Tax and Spend Bill one day…. And in the next few days, all the car companies raise the price of electric vehicles by the amount of the subsidy in the Tax and Spend Bill.  Can you see what they are doing here?  It is GOOD to be a Democrat these days….

I have to say…. Sometimes they (the Democrats) lie when telling the truth is easier.  Two negative growth quarters has always been a recession…. But not this time.  The annual inflation rate might be 8.5…. But it’s zero for the last month.  What?? Democrats will say anything…to anybody…at any time.   And the mainstream media will parrot every word verbatim.  They get by with it and half the public will believe it.  The absurdity of it all is suffocating.

Our Government is Out of Control; Rein It In

Simply put, our government is too tall, too wide, too heavy, too loud, too aggressive, too intrusive, and certainly too damn expensive.  It has grown to behemoth standards and is sucking the life out of American taxpayers who are striving to create a higher standard of living for themselves and their families.  Democrats have always worshiped at the shrine of the Almighty Government; but Republicans have also been far too ready to endorse that growth when it served their interests.

 

The two areas that most readily reflect this astronomical growth in our nation’s bureaucracy is in the uncontrolled and unaccounted aggressiveness of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and in the profligate spending habits of Congress and the Executive branches.  The devolution of operational and ethical standards in the FBI is symptomatic of what we are seeing up and down the justice system from Washington, D.C. to our local neighborhoods.  The foolish spending habits of our government flies in the face of any reasonable person’s ideas about fiscal responsibility.  Both of these sacred duties of our elected officials have been corrupted and abused to a point where it is difficult to see them being restored to any semblance of respectability.

 

The FBI has become partisan, privileged, unprincipled, and operates these days in a rogue fashion with no presumption of ethics.  Our Presidents and Congress have gotten to the point where they don’t even mention the words deficit nor debt anymore because they have essentially lost all meaning.  This post will zero in on the current and recent past operations of the FBI.  It will also highlight how the two major political powers in our country have simply abandoned any cognizance of fiscal sanity.

 

The FBI abandoned all pretense to integrity during the eight years of the Obama Administrations.  It literally went off the reservation.  Like all federal departments under Obama, they were politicized and controlled by partisans who served their idealistic agendas rather than their nation’s security.  Following are several stories that document the devolution of the FBI to the point today where some people…intelligent people…say that they should be eliminated altogether or torn down and rebuilt.  Their corruption has indeed reached a level that makes that type of speculation sound reasonable.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/grassley-johnson-controversial-2020-hunter-biden-fbi-briefing

 

And when the FBI gets caught red-handed playing their dirty little games, their arrogance will not allow them to issue a humble mea culpa.  No, they simply keep digging the hole deeper.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/gretchen-whitmer-promises-she-will-fight-to-keep-abortion-legal-for-your-kids

 

The rot that has been creeping throughout the FBI has also been spreading in the Department of Justice and other federal security agencies.  The walls that once separated politics from our government’s security departments and agencies has been essentially removed and with its destruction, the credibility of those government employees has hit rock bottom.

The House January 6 Select Committee continues its carnival grandstanding while very few people pay any attention.   Trump made an ass out of himself; everyone knows it; but it was not a crime and was certainly not an “insurrection”.  This bunch of idiotic Democrats, along with two wayward Republicans, remind me of the kid outside with a popsicle on a hot, July day.  They desperately want it to last, but it is melting before their very eyes.  It is truly pathetic.  Nobody wants to sit around and watch your ice cream melt.

Justice in our nation must return to the principle of accountability.  If you do the crime, you should do the time.  Reform cannot be a hope or desire or some fantasy based on wishful thinking.  Yes, we have too many people in prison.  Yes, the dysfunction in our justice system creates legitimate concerns about continuing the death penalty.  Yes, it is perhaps time to consider which crimes merit prison and which crimes merit lesser penalties.  But giving convicted criminals absolution for their crimes and a pass on accountability is a recipe for disaster; the type of disaster that is sweeping across the country today. 

 

https://amgreatness.com/2022/07/27/despair-in-sentencing/

 

Turning to our government’s spending habits, it is probably sufficiently revealing of their irresponsible fiscal habits to simply review what they have done lately.  So much idiocy and so little time.

 

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/economy/inflation-rises-to-highest-rate-in-40-years-in-gauge-favored-by-fed

 

Only in the logic of our government do we find that too much money chasing too few goods can be best served by dumping MORE MONEY into the marketplace.  The CHIPS Act has been passed by Congress and will be signed by the President.  It will cost $280 BILLION.  It passed in a bi-partisan fashion.  This irresponsible spending bill is on the heels of two full years of historic spending levels first initiated by Donald Trump and then accelerated by Joe Biden.  Republicans do not get a pass; they are a huge part of this madness and should stand equally accountable for its devastating consequences. 

 

The Democrats, in their quest to reinvent America through the Green New Deal, have finally convinced Joe Manchin to buy into a smaller version of their Build Back Better legislative concept that has been labeled The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.  If passed, it will cost $433 BILLION.  Passage will require every Senate Democrat plus VP Harris.  Arizona Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema might be the only hope to prevent this spending monstrosity from becoming reality.  Her support for the package is still in question.

 

Following are a number of stories that deal with these two pieces of legislation, their contents, and how they might impact our current economic condition.  Read the bills, think about how your tax dollars are being spent, and wonder for yourself how this makes any sense whatsoever in today’s economic climate.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 actual text: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22122281-inflation_reduction_act_of_2022

 

Here is a one-page summary of this legislation put out by the Democrat Senate Leadership.  Only in the perverse financial world or the U.S. Government does it make sense that SPENDING $433 billion will actually SAVE $300 billion.  Snake oil anyone???

 

https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/inflation_reduction_act_one_page_summary.pdf

 

Please note that among the expenditures in this legislation is $369 billion for Energy Security and Climate Change.  Yeah…solar panels, windmills, and electric vehicles will sure help our economy!  Additionally, Obamacare will be extended at a cost of $64 billion.  It keeps falling down and they keep propping it up.  Remember… “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.  If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”.  Read these stories about this spending frenzy and see if it makes sense to you.

And while our Congress makes certain that the American money-making printing presses will continue to work overtime and our future generations’ debt load will continue to grow geometrically, our clueless President and his clown show simply continue to whistle past the graveyard.  On the other hand, maybe they are simply too dumb to realize they are pouring gasoline on a raging fire.  Always keep in mind: Liberals do not concern themselves with either short-term or long-term consequences or collateral damage.  Their mantra is “If it feels good, do it!”

Trying to Square the Circle

This old geometry problem is, and always has been, an impossibility.  No doubt, that has not kept many from pursuing a solution to its hopeless question.   Since the dawn of time, seeking an elusive answer to a hypothetical question has been a popular exercise in entertainment.  But when the solution being sought has accompanying relevance that makes it necessary, then the patience and equanimity required of such quixotic pursuits wear thin.

 

This is where we stand today with many of the social and political goals listed on the liberal agenda.  Unfortunately, the exclusionary and monotone bubbles that liberals tend to inhabit prevents them from coming to grips with the fundamental law of actions and reactions; of the difference between wants and needs; and the folly of using limited resources like they are house money.   It effectively insulates them from REALITY.  It is quite simply impossible to make sense of some of the things they do.

 

When we place people in government positions where they have significant amounts of power and authority, it is essential that either (A) these people have life experience that has taught them how things occur in the real world, or (B) even though they may have lived a life of privilege, they are sufficiently intelligent to understand that everyone is not as lucky as they have been.  It is tragic that the Biden Administration is populated by bureaucrats who possess neither A nor B.

 

The detachment from reality exhibited by Biden appointees is breath-taking.  The double-standards by which they normally operate are just plain wrong.  And the ignorance they display in their administration of our government is irresponsible to the point of malfeasance.  Let us examine some examples of this behavior.

 

In the words of my favorite TV character Harry Bosch… “everybody counts or nobody counts”.  If this maxim is going to apply in the administration of law and justice in America, then all people should be treated equally.  That simply ain’t what’s happening.  There are two levels of justice in our nation; one for the common person and one for the wealthy and powerful.  To wit…let’s consider how the Department of Justice (DOJ) treats the son of our President.

The liberal elements of the Democrat Party have been foisting their socialist principles on law enforcement ever since Obama spent eight years in the White House pumping out that drivel. 

 

https://nypost.com/2022/07/22/democrats-ludicrously-cast-themselves-as-tough-on-crime/

 

People all across our country are beginning to understand that crime cannot go unpunished and law enforcement must have the necessary resources to maintain civil order and security.  What does our President and liberal support structure do when they have opportunities to impact law enforcement across the land?  Why…they appoint people like this to decide exactly how the law will function.

The great guru of “all things pandemic” continues to haunt the airways of our nation, even after his crooked affairs, poor judgement, and just bone-headed recommendations are exposed for the comedies that they are.

Per the liberal modus operandi…if you start losing the game, simply change the rules.

This from a person (Yellen) who told us a few months back that inflation was of no concern; it was only temporary.

 

One of the favorite words in the liberal lexicon is “tolerance”.   But their definition comes with the qualifier “tolerance for me, but not for thee”.   For instance, consider how this liberal darling diva approaches an emotional subject that clearly has significant differences in how people view it.  There are certainly two sides to this argument, but They/She leaves no room for differing opinion or opposition.

Another “crisis du jour” of our liberal elite is climate change.  Somehow, in their universe, if you cannot grasp that the world as we know it is coming to an apocalyptic end sometime next month due to our irresponsible trashing of the planet, then you are simply stupid.  And if they can’t push their Green New Deal through under normal legislative proceedings, then they will simply have to jam it down our throats with Executive Actions.  Per these raving climate alarmists, we must “plug in” to save the world…regardless of the cost.

You know…a man can have feminine ways and a woman can be masculine in nature.  But at the end of the day, a man and a woman are defined by their biology.

Here is a great article on the liberal philosophy and how it seeks to “reinvent or normalize” certain things in order to promote them.  In their world, you must either accept their new definitions and embrace their new practices; if you refuse, you are an outcast.

Not content in their efforts to reshape our American culture and society to reflect their “woken” ways, the Liberal/Democrat nexus has wormed its way into areas and Departments where it SHOULD NOT BE.  Some parts of our government…like the Department of Justice…should be free from political influence.  Another critical area is our Department of Defense.  In fact, one would have to think that an Administration would be complete looney tunes to try to exert radical, cultural influence on our military.  One would be correct.

Another bulwark in the liberal wall is the “nanny state”; a situation where the government is the big “I” in all things and you, the citizen, are the small “you”.  Where the government decides what is best for you, how you should live, how they should spend your money, and most importantly…how you need to think about things in general.  Lincoln spoke of a government that was “of the people, by the people, and for the people”.  That makes sense to me.  That is how I read our Constitution.  Just how has the big liberal government philosophy worked out for our country?

President Joe Biden has sold his soul to the radical, liberal elements of the Democrat Party.  They control what he says; they control the policies he promotes; and they control the actions he takes.  The hard truth is that these ideals do not reflect the majority opinion of American citizens.  In fact, they do not reflect the majority opinions of American Democrats.  Biden has veered off the main road onto a side path of extremism and he is reaping the wages of that journey.

In closing…some remarks about a past story with current implications.  The events of January 6, 2021 at our nation’s Capitol were tragic.  A legitimate exercise in free speech and assembly devolved into a desecration of our government, both symbolically and physically.  It could have turned out much worse than it did.  In fact, the House Select Committee, in conducting their hyperbolic hearings, have demonstrated how extreme they might be construed.

 

But while the Select Committee should be publicly denigrated for their shallow, transparent, and partisan commandeering of this uncivil act; it is also quite legitimate to blame President Trump for the manner in which he handled the situation.  I do not condone substituting the term “insurrection” for “bad judgement”; but I will readily acknowledgement that sometimes, bad judgement serves as a glimpse into true character.  And while we are assessing blame, the Biden Department of Justice has shown themselves to be nothing less than a partisan arm of the White House through the manner in which they have prosecuted the participants of the January 6 events.  It is shameful.

 

It was abundantly clear that at some point between the November 3, 2020 and January 6, 2021, the election results were not going to be overturned by some instances of irregularities, wrongdoing, and possible criminal behavior.  The opportunities for election misbehavior that should have been addressed before the election could not be feasibly addressed after the election…. and before January 6, 2021.  Trump knew this; but refused to accept it.  He bears the guilt for that action and the consequences thereof. 

 

To the credit of Congress, and through the normal fits and starts of our political process, a new piece of legislation has been agreed upon that will seek to address the issues surrounding January 6, 2021.  This is the right way to right the wrongs.  Invading the Capitol was the wrong way.  Here is some good commentary on both ways.
