Well Congressmen, Technically You Are an Asshole
ROBERT DUCHEMIN SR
FEB 14
I understand how people like to claim success over an immediate change in circumstances after one of their policies has been implemented. Although I understand it, I attribute this behavior to people at the lower end of the IQ scale. It takes a length of time after a new policy is implemented before it has any significant effect on our economy or our society. For example: crime has been dropping since the turn of the century, not because of any policies implemented by either major political party but because of technology and the ability of police departments to learn how to use technology to their advantage. With the exception of the blip caused by the 2020 insurrections and the horrible federal government over the next four years, the 25-year reduction in crime is caused by nothing more than increased use of technology.
For example: 15 years ago very few people had Ring cameras. Today, one out of three homes has some form of video surveillance. Some people like me went a little overboard with hard-wired, closed-circuit, Cat-5 cameras to prevent jamming as well as a few Ring cameras for convenience. What? Doesnât everybody need 22 cameras around their house?
ââ
Then we need to consider DNA. If the police find any DNA, including passive DNA (which can be obtained from as little evidence as a partial fingerprint), they can match it against DNA on file with the top three ancestry DNA databases. It will let them know if their unknown subject is related as far away as a third cousin, several times removed, to anyone in their database. Considering the hundreds of millions of people in those databases, all it takes after that is enough manpower to track down every relative and the police will come across their unknown subject.
And let us not forget, if you drive an automobile manufactured after 2015, the manufacturer of your vehicle can tell the place where it has been for the last several months or so, regardless of whether you subscribe to their location services. Yes, automobile GPS systems have a much better memory than you do.
Now do you see why I claim that the police can solve any crime given enough time and personnel? And I havenât even gotten to the amount of evidence that you can get from a mobile telephone.
In short, you are being tracked from the second you leave your home, even if you are on foot. The government may never look into your movements but they can anytime they want. Also, we should not discount the amount of evidence that is discovered daily by millions of lawyers in civil cases. Nothing like a subpoena for the Ring camera information from a neighbor of a cheating wifeâs lover to stop her alimony claim dead in its tracks.
Did I mention that the US Department of War spy-satellite cameras can zoom in close enough to gain facial recognition of a target?
The solution of a crime depends only on the amount of assets and personnel devoted toward solving it. What they havenât been showing you on the news are the other four murder cases and thirty-plus assault cases the same Arizona sheriff has had to investigate since Nancy Guthrieâs disappearance.
ââ
Of all the new technical evidence, DNA scares me the most. That is because we do not bring the DNA into court. We put an expert on the witness stand. They will have some photographs or computer printouts but the expertâs testimony is the evidence.
Consider the amount of pressure being put on the Arizona sheriff to solve Nancy Guthrieâs case while he is dealing with the hundreds of other open cases in his office. Now consider the amount of pressure being put on the Florida lab in that case which has been brought into question because the sheriff regularly uses them instead of the FBIâs laboratory. The pressure can be overwhelming.
It would not surprise me at all if we start seeing more and more cases like the one in Boston where a lab technician produced fake DNA results to further her political objectives. With a little pressure, the âexpertâ can undermine our legal system.
Here is another scary thing: studies have shown that juries considered DNA testimony as if it is the word of God. That is a hell of a lot of power in the hands of a single person. (As a sidenote, juries somehow consider video testimony from a DNA expert to be even more trustworthy than live testimony but empirical exidence has proven that experts testifying via video deposition are more likely to lie than those sitting in court in person.) Scared yet? You should be.
ââ
With all that available evidence, the truth should be more available than it has been at any time throughout history. Because so much of the technical evidence can be manipulated, however, we only get closer to the truth when strict evidence rules are applied by courts to ensure against fraud. Unfortunately, those evidence rules do not apply to the worldâs most famous sewer, the United States Congress.
It is so easy to prove that congressmen are lying that a first-grader could do it. All we have to do is never lose sight of the true issue. For example: what are the Democrats actually protesting? It cannot be that the executive branch is enforcing the law. That is what the Constitution mandates they do. In fact, it specifically states that the President must âtake care to ensure that the laws be faithfully enforced.â The LAW states that no one can be in this country illegally. The LAW states that the President must take steps to remove illegal residents. So the truth is that the Democrats are willing to shut down part of our government because the President is fulfilling his constitutional obligation. That is all.
They passed a law, but they donât want it enforced. Of course, not. They just want to save it to use against their political opponents. Yes, the legal term for that is âcorrupt as hell.â
I donât see why anybody is surprised. Since the Obama administration, the federal government has been spending about $80 billion a year (Yes thatâs with a B) keeping alive mustangs, which are an invasive species. Congress itself passed a law in 1995 ordering the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to âeuthanize in a humane manner,â about 30% of the Mustang heard every year. BLM has not euthanized a single Mustang since the Obama became president. Instead, the Mustang herd in the United States has grown from about 40,000 to about 120,000, devastating federal lands so they can no longer be leased to ranchers for grazing.
For refusing to enforce a law passed by Congress, each year Congress appropriates billions of dollars so that BLM can house and feed tens of thousands of Mustangs that Congress ordered them to put down. Congress even authorized BLM to build seven separate ranches in western states (three in California alone), to house and feed, at a cost in excess of $65,000 per horse per year, the same horses that Congress ordered them to kill. Now be honest, do you think thereâs any kickbacks or other corruption in that $80 billion a year?
It is difficult to believe that there are any adults in the United States Congress.
ââ
What troubles me the most are not the idiots but the outright liars. With all of the evidence available from modern technology, including the simple fact of producing digital records, congress allowed Eric Swallowswell to badger Department of Homeland Security executives this week with lie after lie about their behavior. The fact that a committee chair would allow him to spew lies, makes them both a-holes. (We should remember that Ericâs entire career was orchestrated by the Chinese Communist Party. They even provided him with a lover during his rise to the US Congress until the FBI warned him about her and he alerted her so she could sneak out of the country before being arrested.)
If Eric was the only a-hole in Congress, they probably would have expelled him years ago. He is not. The chamber is filled with spewers of horse excrement.
That is probably why it has been years since Congress actually moved to expel a member prior to last yearâs expulsion of a New York congressman. Before that we have to go all the way back to their plan to expel Keith Ellison. He was about to have his career ruined because an internal ethics committee investigation uncovered widespread corruption. Ellison resigned from Congress to prevent disclosure of the evidence. He then went to a state that loves corruption, Minnesota, and became their Attorney General. He was in the hot seat in the Senate this week. People pointed out his current corruption, but nobody brought up the fact that he ran away from Congress to avoid being exposed but continued to be a corrupt politician. I agree with Senator Hawley who suggested he should be in prison.
The Democrat leader, Hakeem Jeffy, is one of the worst liars in the place. He continues to disguise what the Democrats are doing: shutting down part of the government because the President is fulfilling his constitutional obligation to enforce laws that Congress itself passed. That is it. Anything else that comes out of a Democratâs mouth is nothing but manure.
ââ
Well, I meant anything else on that subject. Alexandria Occasionally-Cortez (AOC) went across the Atlantic Ocean to make a complete fool of herself in Munich. I have a feeling that many European translators must have felt that they lost their knowledge of the English language when they tried to translate what came out of her mouth. Iâm a bit of an expert on the English language and I couldnât understand anything she was saying.
In her first attempt to prove that she has some knowledge of foreign affairs, AOC went to Munich, the birthplace of Nazi fascism, and tried to make the US sound bad because she claimed our president was a Nazi, along with his Jewish advisors. Donât be surprised if Donald Trump gets a invitation to visit Munich from its mayor. AOC has about as much knowledge of foreign affairs as she does of economics and government: zero.
Luckily, Marco Rubio gave us speech to the same conference that was intelligent, comprehensive, and coherent. Hopefully, the Europeans wonât all think we are morons after AOCâs performance. Her knowledge of economics goes no further than knowing that if she does a good job serving drinks, she might get an 18% tip.
Here is a news flash honey, not from me.

@Fuezie What's one job where you have to trust people even though you really don't want to.....?
@steve-allen What daily habit do you do that you really didn't know you had until someone pointed it out?
Kristin made me this wonderful clock for my office for Valentine's Day. Wright Bros Memorial button at 12, the Hatteras Lighthouse at 1, driftwood at 2. A 3 shaped fulgurite she found, 4 shark teeth at 4, a starfish at 5, part of a local shipwreck at 6, a plastic hermit crab at 7, lost colony pottery shards at 8, brown sea glass at 9, two fulgurites shaped like a 10, and a scallop shell. most of this she found. i absolutely love it. She likes to make things with local beach finds and we found some of these together. i absolutely love this gift.
