Hypocrisy and flattery in high places

America’s Hypocrisy General of the United States, Todd Blanche, recently called Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas, “A public servant who put her own financial interests above the people she was elected to serve.”
Mr. Blanche, have you ever met your boss, Donald J. Trump? Our President has enriched himself financially throughout his administration by ignoring the “emoluments” clause of the U.S. Constitution.
That same boss has also impoverished many of those he supposedly serves. Recently he bragged, “We have lifted 2.4 million people off of food stamps.” But lifted them into what? Into comfort and self-sufficiency, or into food insufficiency and food insecurity?
Your boss’ envoy to Russia Steve Witkoff assured Russia’s gold-gilded dictator that America’s President sees him as a “humanitarian” actor on the world stage. Flattery is not reality, Mr. Witkoff. It’s what fabulously wealthy kings offer to one another.
