The (Allegedly) Corrupt Congressman Cuellar

Big Red Car — Sun, 05 May 2024 16:51:20 +0000

I have often marvelled at how rich members of the US Congress — both the House and Senate — become in a job with a nice, but fixed salary. Where does that wealth come from? Perhaps, just a bit of enlightenment. Comes now the story of US Congressman Henry Cuellar who represents the people of […]

Senator Bernie Sanders and The Grift

Big Red Car — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 18:05:15 +0000

Senator Bernie Sanders is a self-admitted socialist. He is also a grifter. His wife, the esteemed Dr. Jane O’Meara Sanders, and her son, David Driscoll, founded the Sanders Institute to save American democracy. Some say it was formed to employ David Driscoll and to promote the interests of Bernie Sanders, but who really knows? Cough, […]

Retire, You Fossils

Big Red Car — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 21:46:10 +0000

The recent scary “frozen empty stare” episode with Senator Mitch McConnell raises the question yet again — what is the age at which a US Senator should be retired and forced out? Let’s study the top ten old folks in the Senate as our exemplar, shall we? Dianne Feinstein D – 90 — Senator since […]

Senator Diane Feinstein — Knowing When To Call It Quits

Big Red Car — Thu, 18 May 2023 14:41:41 +0000

Senator Diane Feinstein (California Communist Party) returned to the US Senate the other day after a long period of time during which she was recuperating at home in the People’s Republic of California from shingles and being old. She is mentally disoriented and when asked where she’d been replied that she hadn’t been gone and […]

The Debt Ceiling Faux Crisis 2023 Edition

Big Red Car — Thu, 18 May 2023 13:15:19 +0000

It is that time of the political cycle to pretend we have a debt ceiling crisis. The sky is falling! Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen — who has been wrong on every substantive issue thus far including her huge boner on “transitory” inflation — says the government will run out of money on 1 […]

Why Republicans Cannot Govern – They Are Traitors To Themselves

Big Red Car — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 20:04:17 +0000

Comes now the Republican party after missing the Big Red Wave and failing to control the Senate whilst eking out a pathetic majority in the House of Boobs. The Republicans in the House cannot find a horse to get across the finish line as Congressman McCarthy fails in his fifth attempt to garner sufficient votes […]

Taking The Hispanic Vote For Granted

Big Red Car — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 21:41:27 +0000

The United States is approximately 18.5% Hispanic while America is 13.4% black. The Hispanic vote has typically been much heavier on the Democrat side than the Republicans, but this is changing. How’s it changing, Big Red Car? Here, dear reader, is how it is changing: 1. In the 2016 Presidential election, Hispanics voted 66% for […]

Partisanship — From Whence Cometh Partisanship In College?

Big Red Car — Wed, 08 Dec 2021 13:25:41 +0000

I stumbled on an interesting study recently. It goes like this — Objective: survey self-identified Democrats/Republicans as well as men/women as to behavior they would or would not engage in based on their Presidential candidate preference. Sample size 850 Date 18-22 November 2021 Sample — college kids nationwide <<< 2/4-year community colleges, technical colleges, trade […]

Trusting Politicians

Big Red Car — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 22:44:03 +0000

I do not trust politicians. I never really have. I am often tempted to single out Democrats for being more untrustworthy, but I call them like I see them. Here is my view of Louisiana Republican politics and the Republicans. It sucks. They suck. Do not trust them. What happened, Big Red Car? Ahh, here […]

Civilian Control Of The Military — Good Idea?

Big Red Car — Wed, 20 Jan 2021 04:29:13 +0000

US law (the National Security Act of 1947) requires that a military officer be seven years from active, uniformed service before he can be appointed to serve as Secretary of Defense. That law also provides that Congress can waive that requirement. What is the waiver all about, Big Red Car? That waiver has been granted […]
