Wasteland in D.C.

For the impartial observer, for the independent voter, for those who do not profit from the philosophies of the right or the left, the James Comey hearings did not accomplish much.

Our political class is showing off, with flying colors, what America is sadly becoming — a huge and wasteful bureaucracy run by incompetence, a farce of a true democracy, a grand circus tent where entrenched politicians take cover.

America needs a renewal of its political class; a new breed of clean-cut politicians able and ready to tackle the problems that besiege us.

At least we still can vote and make things better for our embattled republic.
