Number 249
Today, July 4th, is the 249th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The document that bifurcated the relationship between the British empire and it’s thirteen colonies in the New World, America. By winning the ensuing war with England, the United States became what is undeniably the greatest free republic in the world. The citizens of this remarkable experiment enjoy freedoms that were heretofore unknown in the civilized world.
Those freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution have allowed some elected Americans to be dumb, dumber and finally really dumb, or dumbest. Who are these fellow office holding Americans? A few well-known examples come to mind.
In the category of dumb and dumber, the obvious winners are two congressional representatives, Democrats, one from Texas and the other from the New York. Jasmine Crockett and Sandy Cortez (AOC). The labels are interchangeable. Readers can be the judge. Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s latest burst of brilliance occurred in the wake of the successful elimination of the Iranian nuclear facilities. She posted a video on X expressing her outrage that she did not have a say in the attack. Jasmine bleated the following.
“Congress must authorize military force before any president—including Trump—launches a strike, and to understand enough about the Constitution to the extent that I’m the one that’s supposed to make the f*cking decision or at least get a vote.”
One has to wonder what the voters of her district were thinking when they put this ignorant attorney in Congress. She obviously doesn’t understand the powers that Congress granted the executive branch years ago. Would she have had the same reaction when Obama bombed Libya? Doubtful.
Rep. Sandy Cortez has achieved legendary status as a vacant vessel of legislative wisdom. A former bartender who worked in the Bronx but actually grew up cocooned in toney Westchester County, New York, AOC hasn’t mothered one bill during her time in Congress. She has had plenty of time to grandstand with “grandpa” Senator Bernie Sanders and the Communist Muslim running for Mayor of New York, state Assembly member Zohran Mamdani.
Sandy has been seen flying around the country on private jets with Bernie, fighting oligarchy and riding on a float in a red sun dress, looking like a bad salsa dancer with the radical Mamdani. On the Capital steps, Sandy attempted to explain the War Powers Act after the attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Her absence of understanding was astonishing. Why is she in Congress? What has she done for her constituents? The answer, nada. She will continue to be a political figure that no thinking citizen should take seriously.
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) is another beauty who is no stranger to stupidity. He once said in a congressional military hearing regarding placing more personel on the pacific island of Guam, "My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize," his face straight as he gestured the island tipping over. You cannot make this stuff up..
Make no mistake, Republicans have made some truly dumb statements, including the current President. The legacy media endlessly reports his and every supporter’s utterance that they don’t like. Their game is to get Trump and friends, plain and simple. But you have to hunt to find the ignorant baloney coming from the Democrats. Their allies in the media work overtime to shield the ignorance of Crocket, AOC and Johnson from the public…especially a virago like Mad Maxine Waters.
But there is one more category, dumbest. Examples are abundant. Let’s start with the voters in the recent New York mayoral contest. A select group of elitist loons marshalled their forces to select Zohran Mamdani, a radical Islamist, anti-sematic communist as the Democratic candidate to lead the city. Definitely they are the dumbest. His positions are ample proof that the school systems in this Nation no longer emphasize history and civics, thus leaving citizens oblivious of America's greatness. Otherwise, no thinking voter would support his definable anti-American policies. He is a menace but sadly not one prominent Democrat has called him out on his agenda: Kamela Harris, Hillary Clinton, Maxine Waters, Hakeem Jefferies, Joe Biden, Chuck “U” Schumer. Cowards, one and all.
Those who believe that this nation owes them and then evaluate everything, always ask the question, “what’s in it for me?”These individuals are also among the dumbest. The Constitution gives all Americans the right to be a loon, and unfortunately too many have embraced that circumstance due to their own stupidity
The truth about the United States of America is simple, for the last 249 years it has offered more to its citizens than any other country on the planet. Opportunity for all if you work for it…even the loons.
Celebrate that visionary patriots made this Nation a “No King” zone in 1776, and disregard the dummies among us who want to it tear down.
