IMPEACHING INCOMPETENCE AND APATHY INSTEAD OF ACTUAL CRIMES

 

House Republicans have done something historic, they have impeached a Cabinet Secretary for the first time since 1876. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas was impeached for a broad list of accusations, many legal experts say these accusations fall far short of actual criminal conduct. Sadly, the whole impeachment process has become a sham based purely on political theater. The US Constitution gives the House of Representatives the power to "impeach" or accuse government officials with "high crimes and misdemeanors", the Senate can then hold a trial to convict the accused of the said crimes, and vote to remove the guilty person from office. In the past two decades the impeachment process has become a political tool for the ruling party to basically harass the other party with a steady stream of specious accusations. 

The Republicans impeached Bill Clinton for lying under oath. Republicans would attempt to impeach Barak Obama for a number of things, but they lacked the political muscle to move against him. The Democrats were desperate to avenge that slight so they impeached Donald Trump two separate times for accusations of conduct that was boorish or foolish, but in no way criminal. Now the Republicans have returned to power, and they are eager to impeach the Biden administration for all sorts of things. Joe Biden has been difficult to impeach, for a variety of factors, but they've managed to impeach Mayorkas, who is on the Biden team. 

The Republicans and Democrats have both failed to perform their duties in a broad number of ways. This latest impeachment fiasco is but one example of the terrible corruption that plagues the American political system. Instead of working for the best interest of the nation, the two parties have chosen to attack each other and divide the nation, our of a desire to maintain political power at all cost. This political partisanship has become shameful, and has made the nation appear as banana republic to the rest of the world. 

 It is time that both parties were removed from power. They do not care about us or the nation, therefore we should elect people that will uphold the oath they swear to carry out the law and defend the Constitution. 

THE WORST MAN WINS IN IOWA

 

Shocking news Donald Trump wins the Iowa primary; or perhaps not so shocking to those paying attention and understanding how very far US society has fallen. A few short decades ago our parents and grandparents would have been appalled to see such a boorish man gaining any sort of political victory. It is indeed a sign of the times, when college graduates from the nation's most prestigious universities do not know basic information that pertains to profound historical events such as the Revolutionary war, Civil war, or the two World  Wars, how can the general public be expected to make any sort informed decision when voting for public officials. If the situation was not so dire, it would make for an excellent piece of late night comedy. 

There are, or were, several Republican candidates in the primaries that would make far better national leaders than Trump, in both the 2016 and the current election year. The Democrat Party also possessed several candidates in both 2016 and 2020 primaries that were far superior to the eventual front runners.  I have said this many times before, if the Democrat party had an ounce of common sense, they would have supported Jim Webb in 2016. He would have been far more acceptable than the shrill sounding and scandal plagued Hillary Clinton, in addition he would have easily beaten Trump. However, the Democrat party has demonstrated many times that common sense is not one of their more prevalent qualities. To be clear, this is not an endorsement of either party. Both parties are controlled by the same money and special interest groups at the at the national level. Countless highly qualified presidential candidates are rejected by party insiders in favor of connected insiders that ultimately prove to be disappointments. 

Perhaps it is a type on mass hysteria, or perhaps some folks are simple unable to think creatively and independently. Whatever the case may be, the worst possible candidate has won the Iowa primary. On the other hand, both Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley are dedicated political insiders and Global Elite types that would continue the agenda of the New World Order, without pause or question. After everything is said and done, who will I be voting for? I will vote third party, just as I have been doing for more than 20 years. Neither Democrats nor Republicans represent the interest of the American people, and I will happily contribute my vote elsewhere.
