THE CONGRESSIONAL FULL EMPLOYMENT CAUCUS???

Sheila Jackson Lee, who has to be one of the dumbest people not only in the House of Representatives but on the entire planet, says that the newly launched Congressional Full Employment Caucus will "give President Obama a number of executive orders that he can sign." Jackson Lee made the statement while gathered with Democrats on January 29th to announce the establishment of something called the Full Employment Caucus. Well if there’s one thing you can say about the Democrats, they’re very good at coming up with these nutty little ad hoc groups that in the end will serve no useful purpose what-so-freakin-ever.

Now in announcing the formation of this idiotic little group, the esteem Ms. Jackson Lee said, "We will be answering the call of all of America because people need work and we’re not doing right by them by creating work," Jackson Lee said. "I believe this caucus will put us on the right path and we’ll give President Obama a number of executive orders that he can sign with pride and strength." And this bonehead then went on to say, "In fact, I think that should be our number one agenda. Let’s write up these executive orders, draft them of course - and ask the president to stand with us on full employment."

This Congressional Full Employment Caucus was launched just last week by yet another mentally bankrupt-clown-of-a-Democrat, none other than John Conyers. He also happens to be one of those brilliant folks who has proudly proclaimed that there is absolutely no reason that we, the voting public, should ever expect those who pass legislation to actually know what’s in it. This brain-dead creep’s website says: "The Congressional Full Employment Caucus will serve as a platform and working group for Members dedicated to identifying solutions to our current unemployment crisis and advocating for legislative action."

Executive orders issued by a president have the full force of law and do not have to receive approval by the legislative branch of government. During his State of The Union address last week, Barry made quite clear that he’s willing to use executive actions in his continuing effort to sidestep Congress. In addition to Conyers and Lee, members of the caucus include; Frederica Wilson, Charles Rangel, Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee, Sheila Jackson Lee, José Serrano, and Mike Quigley. Except for the fact that they’re all Democrats and Quigley is white guy, anyone seeing a common denominator here?

IT’S ANOTHER FINE MESS WE’VE GOTTEN OURSELVES INTO…

Well, apparently, it seems, according to yet another recent poll, this one conducted by two conservative organizations, that most Americans are now of the opinion that government corruption has gotten much worse during the tenure of Barry "Almighty". This most recent survey, having been conducted by the conservative Judicial Watch in partnership with Breitbart.com, shows that 77 percent of the 1,000 adults questioned are concerned about government corruption with 52 percent of them actually thinking that the problem has gotten worse since Barry first took office.

"The Judicial Watch-Breitbart poll shows that the American people are thoroughly disenchanted with a government they see as corrupt and secretive," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. Mr. Fitton went on to point out, "The support for the rule of law on immigration runs against the establishment narrative pretending there is overwhelming support for mass amnesty. On a host of issues – ranging from corruption to transparency, to election integrity, to Obamacare – President Obama is completely out of touch with the American people." I’d say that about sums things up.

The poll taken Dec. 15-16 also sought information on attitudes concerning other subjects, including voter fraud, immigration policy, and Obamacare. When it comes to government corruption, Republicans tended to be more concerned, the survey revealed, with 88 percent being most concerned, followed by independents at 75 percent and then of course, and as to be expected, Democrats were less concerned about any corruption that may taking place, coming in at 68 percent in this poll. Democrats are quite content to turn a blind eye to corruption as long as it’s their guys who are corrupt.

Overall, the poll found that Americans think the government is doing a pretty crappy job of policing its own corruption, with 52 percent saying matters have gotten very much worse in just the past five years. Only 18 percent of those surveyed thought the government is doing a better job at self-policing. Must be Democrats. The survey also found that four out of five respondents do not believe that Barry has come anywhere near to fulfilling his 2008 campaign pledge to have "the most open and transparent [government] in history." Gee, can’t imagine why that might be, can you?

And respondents also expressed skepticism about several other of Barry’s agenda items, including immigration and healthcare reform. Forty-nine percent of those polled said they believe immigration laws currently on the books should be enforced, and think illegal immigrants should return home rather than stay in the U.S. Of those polled, 71 percent favor enforcing current immigration laws, while just 21 percent actually support changing the laws. So while the people favor what is the commonsense approach, our political leaders insist upon doing just the opposite.

The survey also revealed that most respondents are far more confident in their states' ability to handle healthcare issues than they are the federal government's. But nearly one-third of the respondents don't have confidence in government at any level to coordinate healthcare. As far Obamacare was concerned, two-thirds of those surveyed said they are satisfied with the insurance they have now. But even though we were all told that we would be able to keep our insurance if we liked it, that doesn’t now appear to be the case.

So where, exactly, does this leave us? We are now being ridden roughshod over by a government that has become, by nearly everyone’s standards, out of control. A government that seems to be made up of individuals who are of the opinion that they can do whatever they want, whenever they want. And who do you suppose it is that we have to blame for this predicament that we presently find ourselves in? Well, that would be none other than "We the People". We’ve managed to do it to ourselves, all by ourselves. But now, I suppose, the bigger question might be, just what the HELL do we intend to do about it?
