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.

Personality more important than civic … [Read more...] about Anti-American Personality Disorder? 4 Democratic Traits

Despite optimism from the House of Representatives we are never going to rid ourselves of the influence of big money in politics. In America big money is politics. No matter what we do to reform the campaign finance system little will change because there are too many ways to get the word out. That isn't stopping Democrats from trying to overrule the Supreme Court with a … [Read more...] about Big Money Plutocracy Less Damaging Than Partisan Lies

The Brits beat us to it. The United Kingdom announced its healthier drinking guidelines two years ago after the New Year’s holiday. It’s just a matter of time before our own safe drinking rules undergo an overhaul to fall in line with a growing trend that parallels our acceptance of marijuana as America’s illegal favorite. Alcohol and tobacco? They are still the two most … [Read more...] about Most Dangerous Drugs in U.S. Lose to an Illegal Favorite
