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. A noteworthy exception is the Democrat Party's successful stonewalling of James Comer's investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden's alleged influence peddling schemes and compromise by China and Ukraine.

The worst kinds of unethical behavior are the ones we never see. They undermine what America stands for and what we value. 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 at the offices of self-serving politicians.

Thanks to Elon Musk and the Trump administration's DOGE initiative, taxpayers finally have some insight into where our money is going. The news is not good. Democrats are furious at having their pants pulled down over covert funding of their radical priorities spread throughout our massive federal bureaucracy.

What is the Government Ethics category about?

The government ethics category is about what happens when political agenda takes precedence over what Americans value. From propaganda to fake new politics to outright thievery, if there is money and power to be had government ethics will be an inconvenience for politicians who place themselves above the best interests of the people.

Jeffries Demands More Protection, but It’s Not For Us

Not that long ago Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was a relatively reasonable, rational Democratic voice. That's reasonable and rational in the context of his party, of course. As Democrats slid off the rails Americans rejected the radical insanity that infected their once legitimate party and now manifests as support for dangerous criminal foreign nationals, antisemitic activists, … [Read more...] about Jeffries Demands More Protection, but It’s Not For Us

Accountability is a Government Scam, Not Justice

Joe Biden at 2022 White House Easter Egg Roll

I am not a James Comer (R-KY) fan. The House Oversight Committee chair was a frequent guest on conservative media shows like Hannity1 while he investigated allegations of Joe Biden’s foreign influence dealing. Night after night while driving home I heard about a trail of currency transactions and the threat of a compromised White House that demanded accountability. The … [Read more...] about Accountability is a Government Scam, Not Justice

Democrats Promised a Trump Fourth Reich. Here it Comes.

LaMonica McIver (D-NJ)

As I began to write this, the news broke about James Comey's 86 47 Instagram post and his flippant explanation for what is obvious to everyone but the former FBI Director. This is the same guy who handed Hillary Clinton an exit from her private email server scandal four months before the 2016 election, so his disdain for our intelligence is no big surprise: As a result, … [Read more...] about Democrats Promised a Trump Fourth Reich.

Bullying By Proxy Is Dangerous Public Policy

May 3, 2025 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

Bullying in our schools is indefensible. Except for parents of bullies in denial, our society recognizes that kids attacking their classmates has serious consequences and must not be tolerated. School bullying left me with broken bones. The memories follow you through life. At the time there were no consequences for bullying. It was just boys being boys and more than likely … [Read more...] about Bullying By Proxy Is Dangerous Public Policy

April 6, 2025: Too Dumb for Democracy or More Political Hypocrisy? It's amazing how quickly Democrat memories were wiped clean of the treasonous Biden-Harris years and their party's complicity in stamping out every trace of the country we know and love so they could replace it with an angry, hateful, woke, unaffordable, weaponized authoritarian hellhole. Our good people … [Read more...] about 10 Political Hypocrisy Examples to Make You Even Angrier
