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.

Republican Losers Show America That Might Makes Right

Statue of Contemplation of Justice by James Earle Fraser on the U.S. Supreme Court Building's main steps. Architect of the Capitol.

After endless, tiresome, and ultimately pointless tirades about lies and corruption and election interference at the hands of prominent Democrats and bitter, conniving loser Hillary Clinton, House Republicans finally had a chance last week to live up to their words. Accountability was on the docket thanks to Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s (R-FL) H.Res. 489, “Censuring and condemning … [Read more...] about Republican Losers Show America That Might Makes Right

White House Strategy for Antisemitism Has No Credibility

June 5, 2023 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

The rollout of the White House U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism begins with President Biden’s oft-repeated statement that he ran for president because of the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia: President Biden decided to run for President after what we all saw in Charlottesville in 2017, when Neo-Nazis marched from the shadows … [Read more...] about White House Strategy for Antisemitism Has No Credibility

I’m a White Conservative Man and I Don’t Feel Guilty

November 30, 2021 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

Little by little, day after day, liberal Democrats collude with America's left wing elites to shore up the ideological house of cards they built from disinformation and lies. It's unthinkable that their anti-American construct is still standing, but the Rittenhouse trial proves it's as strong as ever. Falsehoods in service to the left's narrative are facts. When facts emerge … [Read more...] about I’m a White Conservative Man and I Don’t Feel Guilty

Government Censorship Won’t Make Health Info Trustworthy

September 13, 2021 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

There is trustworthy and untrustworthy health information. There is also politically-motivated health information. It's a liberal myth that we are incapable of discerning the difference between good and bad, like the misleading information disseminated by Kamala Harris when she said she wouldn't trust a vaccine if Donald Trump told her to take it. This is the same vaccine … [Read more...] about Government Censorship Won’t Make Health Info Trustworthy

Extremist Threat From Democrats Must Be Stopped Now

Bright sun

New update September 10, 2021: attack on Larry Elder is a wake-up call about the growing extremist threat from the left. There is a problem with Democrats' extremism narrative. They want us to think it's all about us and not them. The hubris from having absolute power over America makes it easy to ignore the truth that the left harbors extremists. Democrats should remember … [Read more...] about Extremist Threat From Democrats Must Be Stopped Now
