In an era when Americans are bombarded by mainstream media that often bends the narrative to suit their agenda, one can be forgiven for feeling like a kid operating a shiny new cable box in the ‘90s—twitching through 57 channels of utter nonsense on C-SPAN. Everyone knows the government’s a circus, but it sometimes feels like the clowns are the only ones who showed up for the show. With Senators droning on about everything from funding parks to climate change, one has to wonder if anyone can speak without making the viewer want to claw their eyes out.
Recent commentary has suggested that President Biden’s lax stance on sanctions has led to an explosion of Iranian oil sales. The Wall Street Journal put forth the calculation that the Biden Administration’s weak-kneed policies have conveniently stuffed Iran’s coffers with an additional $32 to $35 billion. Now there’s a rosy picture—helping our sworn enemies fund their nefarious activities while American families struggle to make ends meet. It’s almost like they’re taking notes from “How to Politicize a Country” 101.
And let’s not forget Senator Bennet from Colorado, who has decided that yelling is now synonymous with debating. His recent tirade about park funding seemed more like a political audition for a soap opera than a serious discussion. The man practically reached a “Rocky Mountain high” in his pursuit of volume, making it hard to believe he was discussing the environmental funding rather than auditioning for a role in ‘Twitter Rage: The Musical.’
Meanwhile, back on the floor of the Senate, Scott Bessent suggested that the U.S. dollar must remain the world’s reserve currency while waving a flag against wasteful spending. As if this was breaking news—consumers are already aware of the fiscal shenanigans where their hard-earned money is being tossed out the window. Add in the fact that Democrats are spending more time talking about sexual harassment than addressing any real economic issues, and it’s clear they’ve mastered the art of political distraction.

Of course, one cannot overlook the walking disaster that is Mazie Hirono, appearing on every Senate committee as if she’s auditioning for an obscure reality show called “Senator Survivor.” While she busies herself with more hot air than actual substantive discussions, the rest of the Democrat crew stands firm in their role as environmental pollutants, demonstrating a knack for blowing smoke rather than addressing real issues affecting American livelihoods.
The Democrats had four years to run wild, hoisting every good American down into the depths of despair, and now they’re attempting to play the knight in shining armor. Their self-righteous posturing is the ultimate definition of chutzpah—an attempt to rewrite history while ignoring their own contributions to the chaos. If they truly want to protect the average American, they might want to start by taking a good look in the mirror before putting the next set of absurd policies in motion.
