Things to Think About 3

Here is just one of many examples of the rank corruption that fills the Democrat party's leadership.  New Jersey's Democrat governor is in deep, deep trouble. Quote: "His constituents are complaining about the state's crumbling transit system. His own party wants to strip him of gubernatorial powers. The soccer team he owns is living in dire conditions, and one of his sons has been in trouble with the law.  What's a newly elected governor with no experience in elected office to do? He takes a vacation far, far away. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy raised eyebrows last week as he embarked on a swanky 11-day trip to Italy, where he owns a $7 million home he bought during his 23-year stint at Goldman Sachs.  The trip comes just six months after Murphy -- a Democrat and former diplomat under President Barack Obama -- was elected to the top job in the state. The governor’s office initially declined the reveal where Murphy was going for his holiday, but NJ.com solved the mystery and reported that Italy was the destination. The state’s taxpayers will pick up the tab for protecting the governor while he’s on vacation, with the tab reaching as much as $100,000."    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/08/01/dem-governor-flees-to-7m-italian-vacation-home-as-political-personal-problems-mount.html

Democrat controlled governments have long demonstrated that at all levels of government from local to federal they are terrible at managing/running things.  The city of Seattle, Washington, is a prime example.  Consider the City Council's total incompetence illustrated in this piece. Quote: "Once again, the oh-so progressive, oh-so enlightened Seattle City Council is showing the rest of the country what not to do. The idealistic leftists who control the Council are wasting millions of hard-earned taxpayer dollars in failed attempts to solve problems the Council members created. All this is turning Seattle into the poster city for the failure of Big Government. The city best known for fish markets, coffee stores, rain and flannel-wearing musicians is now becoming legendary for its incompetent leadership and its financial boondoggles."  And,  "With its spendthrift and clueless way, the Seattle City Council is showing all Americans the importance of voting in local elections. Too many us of neglect to do this, focusing on elections for president, national and statewide offices. Local government is closest to the people and in many ways can have the most direct impact on our lives. In Seattle, big-spending liberals trying to fulfill their dreams are creating nightmares for the people of the city."    http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/07/31/smug-seattle-keeps-throwing-money-after-streetcar-bike-lane-fiasco-that-s-totally-off-rails.html    The adage that all politics is local is something we all need to keep in mind.

Another example of seriously flawed and total misguided Democrat governance.  The Democrat mayor of Philadelphia cares more about illegal immigrants than the citizens who voted him into office and expect him to assure public safety by keeping the city as free as possible of potential harm to citizens or infuse problems into their lives.  Quote: "Mayor Kenney has said, “If I could abolish ICE, I would.” After Kenney’s decision, ICE issued a statement saying: “ICE is deeply disappointed with the city’s decision… Despite these attempts to obstruct ICE”s lawful efforts to apprehend criminal aliens, the agency remains committed to its efforts to uphold public safety in the City of Philadelphia. Philadelphia is a sanctuary city. Actions like these show that Democrats are putting the interests of illegal immigrants above the lives and safety of their own citizens."    https://patriotpulse.net/philadelphias-democrat-mayor-just-made-a-dangerous-move-to-cripple-ice/    Rather than fulfilling his elected responsibilities he is raising the bar on lawlessness and potential harm to citizens and property by harboring known criminals.  Democrat logic is unprincipled and totally illogical and irresponsible.

To reinforce the last sentence of the previous item please read this short link and watch the short video.  Nancy Pelosi shows just how completely discombobulated the Democrats have become. It is really embarrassing what they are saying, thinking and doing. It is they have collectively lost touch with reality.   https://patrioticviralnews.com/articles/nancy-pelosi-hilariously-claims-democrats-have-been-tougher-on-border-security-than-the-gop/
