Our nation now finds itself in a critical crossroads of inflection and more divided than at any time in History since April 1865.
As one who worked for two Democratic Senators, one House Member, volunteered on President Obama’s Campaign when he was -20 points behind Hillary Clinton in NH Primary, and eighteen years “on the inside” enforcing rules of the Senate on Senators, Staff, and The Washington Press Corp I have an extraordinary opportunity to share some insight.
Ironically while it is precisely these experiences which caused be to become “The Senate Comedian” even though I have never been more serious than what you’re about to hear. Keep in mind also that I am not pretending to inflate my intelligence or even make myself look good with any illusions of importance. It is the ultimate ironic paradox of Washington power projection that because it’s totally normal if not assumed “on the inside” people attempt to exaggerate their own importance and status, because I would go out of my way to readily acknowledge how unimportant I truly was, this had the ironically opposite effect of causing some “at the top of the food chain” to think I was important.
As a consequence I was a frequent guest on the “Washington Social scene” and enjoyed extraordinarily intimate experiences, conversations, and observations with many European Ambassadors, their Diplomatic Staffs, our own politicians, and the Washington Press Corps. My opinions can always be wrong but my direct observations and conversations can not
I still personally am fond of Senior ABC White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl, who once introduced me to his own Son as “the funniest man in Washington.” To which I replied; “That’s like being the most concerned human rights observer inside The Kremlin.”
I miss my frequent conversations with Senior CNN Congressional Correspondent Manu Raju who went out of his way with kindness when he first started out as a Reporter with Roll Call.
Even The New York Time’s Jeremy Peter’s I always knew so long as I could keep making him laugh my critiques were appreciated. I will always miss the adorable Lisa Desjardins who was also CNN’s Senior Congressional Correspondent for many years and one of the most wonderful people I’ve ever been privileged to know.
Because of my authenticity it would become a regular routine where I would, in a respectful manner and using witty humor, make people laugh by directly calling them out on BS!
Senator Cory Booker immediately began following me on Twitter after I questioned him on the False Ferguson narrative of deliberate division. I told him I didn’t freeze my metal hip in -5 below to Campaign for Obama only to watch people pouring gas on the fire to rule the ashes! Ironically this would get me invited even more frequently to prominent parties. When you can look someone important in the eyes (especially when surrounded in a sea of sycophants) and get them to laugh about what they knew was true, even when it’s the exact opposite of what that individual is telling the American people, the more frequently this would happen the more naturally occurring it became expected.
Has anyone of our media’s “expert political analysts” ever pointed out the cruelest irony that some of the exact same “publicly progressive Politicians who profess to be “Champions for Women, African Americans and Hispanics” themselves are the most determined to sell people on their own oppression?
In order to leave an abusive relationship a person must first believe enough in themselves and their own worth as a person to summon the courage to #walkaway
Is it conceivable that you haven’t heard this mentioned on CNN or MSNBC previously because they have both been pushing a “False Ferguson narrative” and intentionally increasing division for so long now that their own ratings and future survival is dependent upon getting enough people to believe it?
Even when I stood up to Jesse Jackson after he had been horribly rude and inconsiderate, he actually came back, gave me a hug and told me how funny I was. This ironically ended up getting me invited to Congress Black Caucus parties for the following 15 years. My friends in the CBC & Congressman Bennie Thompson sponsored my Membership at the DNC social club where I became buddies w/ Jesse Jackson Jr. and Congressman Mike Honda. We would perform together at DNC Karaoke Parties on the third Wednesday of the month for seven years. They called us “The Three Amigos.”
From the time the Swiss Ambassador and Attorney General tacitly acknowledged the collaboration of Switzerland w/ the Nazis in WW2 to that night when in the middle of a great party, I was able to convince The French Ambassador to assume “The French Fighting position” I wouldn’t have traded these enormously enlightening experiences for anything in the world.
The number of European Diplomats who after many drinks suddenly felt compelled to confess that Trump was making European Militaries stronger to stand up to Russia happened more often than words can describe. Yet every single European Government could not publicly rush fast enough to publicly “congratulate Biden before one state had even certified anything.”
I personally told President Obama’s Chief of Staff that Putin was about to invade Ukraine 🇺🇦 first take Crimea, then a second land invasion coming from the East. He shook my hand then again “thanked me for sharing my thoughts.” Even after the invasion I predicted was well underway I asked him to consider selling the Javelin anti - Tank Missile program to the Ukraine
Government so that Russia 🇷🇺 couldn’t keep invading further in to Ukraine.
One of the first things Present Trump did was to immediately sell the Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine 🇺🇦 which certainly must have not made Putin happy. He also because of his bullying skills and obnoxious personality, he was actually successfully able to get the European Union 🇪🇺 Member Nation’s to greatly increase each nations individual Defense payments so they would be Military stronger to deter potential Russian aggression from the East.
Isn’t it ironic that while ever European Union 🇪🇺 Government rushed to congratulate Biden it was Putin who refused.
While his rhetoric was at times, much more than over the top and definitely should have been more respectfully articulated, on the issue of illegal immigration President Trump got the President of Mexico 🇲🇽 to send 18,000 Federal Soldiers to the border while Democrats in Congress did everything they could do to intentionally undermine the law from Sanctuary Cities to race baiting deliberate division and recklessly encouraging lawlessness itself at every opportunity. It did not go unnoticed that the President of Mexico 🇲🇽 also refused to rush in and congratulate Biden, instead granting President Trump the respect he had earned.
The Senate Democratic Leader’s Senior Staffer personally admitted on my very last day in the Senate that; “If Hispanics in general and illegal immigrants specifically were more likely to vote Republican we would have already built a wall which makes Ghengis Khan look the ACLU and we would have done it 10 years ago Scotty!”
It privately occurred to me our nation’s political situation and deepening divisions were only going to deteriorate worse on my last day in the Senate. The very same Reporters who had privately acknowledged the truth to me in personal conversations about everything the networks has been been repeatedly lying about from Russia Collusion hoax to the “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” lies and Ferguson False Narratives, I had always been able to maintain some positive optimism internally because at least I could always get them to admit the truth to me with humor.
In almost 20 years “on the inside” the only time that half of the Washington Press Corps suddenly became “speechless mutes” was when I asked them this question; “Trump does lie and sometimes he even stretches the truth further than your average “career Politician” but answer me this, how the hell are the American people ever supposed to figure out what the truth is if you in the media have already spread more lies about him before I’ve even gotten out of bed in the morning?” Not one person could answer.
In our recent election season the amount of Biden’s corruptions scandals which was intentionally ignored while simultaneously asking softball questions about “his preferred ice cream?” His son was on the payroll of China 🇨🇳 and Russia 🇷🇺 Oligarchs Biden met with some of these people who put Hunter on the payroll and even bragged about it.
It is truly terrifying When a free press coupled with “Big Tech” together invoke censorship on a scale which would terrify George Orwell because in 1984 no one could have imagined its “improved ruthless efficiency.”
At the very moment America needs it now more than ever, with our future at a crossroads, our entire mainstream media (Fox included) continues to cover up massive vote fraud, seemingly infinite “irregularities” with total impotence and increased censorship. Add to that the increasing threats of totalitarian political reprisals and I don’t think we are at all living up to the selfless sacrifices from two centuries of American Patriots.
Without their sacrifices we wouldn’t even still exist as a nation today. My most extraordinary Grandparents did not risk their lives for in WW2 so that I could quietly comply with it’s erosion!
