Government Ethics

When the ends justify the means government ethics is an anachronism. Classic abuses like corruption in office are difficult to ignore and are usually punished sooner or later. Sneaky bad behaviors like spreading disinformation or shaming the nation into agreement on partisan imperatives do more damage and can influence millions of voters.

The worst kinds of unethical behavior are the ones we don’t see coming. They undermine what America stands for and what we believe in. Examples are political rhetoric that distorts the truth, pandering to big money donors, and selecting special interests for legislative favoritism. All of these things point to how government ethics falls by the wayside when opportunity knocks.

What is the Government Ethics category about?

The government ethics category is about what happens when political opportunity takes precedence over doing the right thing. From fake politics to outright thievery, as long as there is money and power to be had government ethics will be an inconvenience best ignored.

Best Way to Stop Trump From Destroying Our Democracy?

Last update October 25, 2024Leave a Comment

The best way for Democrats to stop Trump from destroying our democracy is to beat him to it by denying the will of the people whether that means inciting violence, impeaching him for a third, fourth, and fifth time, finding obscure legal vehicles to charge him with non-existent crimes, refusing to confirm his electoral count, placing a padlock on the Oval Office door, or by any other means necessary to ensure they retain the power to further undermine what they hypocritically call “democracy” after kicking their voters’ choice to the curb.

Massey, Riley, Nungaray & Morin Deserved to Be Safe

When Americans suffer a tragedy, what does it take to get Kamala Harris' attention? The same thing that grabs Joe Biden’s attention: identity politics. When the president couldn't remember Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's name, he did remember that Austin is the "Black man." Many of us believe the only reason Kamala Harris was tapped to be vice president is because she is the "Black woman" who balanced a ticket headed by a White guy. It’s also the reason our president couldn’t remember Laken Riley’s name during the State of the Union. Riley has no political value for this White House and neither do Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin, and so many others hurt or killed by Biden and Harris' radical policies.

Democrats Incite Political Violence Because It Works

Harris is right. Political violence is unacceptable, but so are remarks that incite it. To borrow her words, there can be no equivocation about political violence and yet equivocation is how Democrats hide behind the fallout from their provocative, incendiary rhetoric.

Greene is the Conscience Johnson’s Weak Republicans Need

Last update April 22, 2024Leave a Comment

Can you imagine the GOP staging the equivalent of the Democrat Party’s January 6th Committee? Neither can I. This is why Democrats are winners and Republicans, too often, are losers. They should listen to the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Chip Roy who rock the boat and introduce desperately needed discomfort into the cozy relationship between our two political parties. They are the GOP’s conscience at a time when Republicans badly need one.

Biden Made America a State Sponsor of Terrorism

Last update March 25, 2024Leave a Comment

Antony Blinken will never make the determination that America in the clutches of the Biden White House is a State Sponsor of Terrorism. The mere suggestion is extreme, but we can no longer ignore the fact that Biden administration policies on Israel, Iran, Afghanistan, and our open border provide material support to terrorists. Whether due to dimwitted recklessness or the designs of anti-American ideologues intent on leveling the playing field because they don’t believe in American greatness, taxpayer resources are funding bad actors. When other countries do this, we call them State Sponsors of Terrorism. It has to stop.

House Republicans vs. Democrats: We Have a Winner

Last update December 4, 2023Leave a Comment

House Republicans continue to demonstrate a fundamental inability to understand that ethics on Capitol Hill is an anachronism that ensures only failure and shame. It’s an ugly truth, but like feces on San Francisco streets it’s something Democrats accept without question and aren’t ashamed to roll in if that’s what it takes to win.

Democrats’ Islamophobia Problem is Worse Than You Think

Pro-Palestinian protests are politically-motivated expressions of hate. Lawmakers who endorse these outbursts justify the demonstrations with appeals to First Amendment protected speech and fears of Islamophobia. They are just as guilty of inciting antisemitism and violence as the activist protesters who tear down U.S. flags as a warning to America to accept their pro-Hamas cause, or else.
