Chaos Reigns

I read a lot of news. National, international, financial, all that I have time for. I have a few favorite sources. But I also try to find other sources especially from other countries to get a rounded version of the news. I have been a news junkie for years. And I have never seen such utter chaos in the world as I am seeing now.

Except for a few, our congress, both houses, have become parodies of what they should be. They are more interested in camera time and partisanship than preserving and protecting this country and the Constitution that makes it great.

The organizations of government are being run like frat houses, with about as much self discipline by those that we pay to do our day to day work as you will find at a toga party. The bosses seem to impart no controls or authority over the workplace. But they can sure plan a great conference at taxpayer expense. Watch porn on your taxpayer supplied computer all day, no problem. It's only government work.

The DOJ seems more interested in forcing state governments to bow to their will than doing the job of enforcing the laws as written. The imperial president goes his own way using his czars and department heads with congress standing impotently on the sidelines. Now the AG is faced with a possible indictment for contempt of congress.

Congress is looking at defunding our military to show that their doing their job. Of course, that is the worst thing that they could do. But hey, we're in a deep recession and we need more money to fund social programs, right. No, not right. Stop the insane spending and get government doing the job it was hired to do or fire the whole lot of them and keep our military strong.

The governments of the world are bleeding money that they don't have while their economies go down the hopper. Everybody's killing everybody throughout the mid-east and Africa. The UN sits around discussing ad infinitum with nothing accomplished. The EU is close to crumbling. Russia feels that we are weakening so they can show more intransigence.

We cannot do much about the rest of the world. We need to get our own house in order. That is in itself a major task since it has gotten so far out of order. We don't need much to make that happen. A competent and honest president that puts the country ahead of himself would be a good start. An honest and statesman like congress that will recognize the countries needs and meet those needs under the law without over-reaching and without the consideration of party. Also, government employees that will do their honest days work in a manner to help citizens not hinder them. One other thing. Until we get our country back up and running as it should we have to look to what is in our own self interest. A weak America weakens all free nations around the world.
