Quoted from The Morning Briefing at PJ Media, so you don’t have to get yourself dirty by clicking on a Politico link.
“Elected officials, union leaders, and political consultants are panicking over polls showing a steady erosion of Biden’s support in a state he won by 23 points four years ago,” reports Politico. “They’re so worried they’ve been trying to convince the Biden team to pour resources into New York to shore up his campaign and boost Democrats running in a half-dozen swing districts that could determine control of the House.”
Elected officials, UNION LEADERS, and political consultants, you say?
When people ask me why I’m so anti-union, this is why I respond with more than a little vehemence. The unions of today are nothing more than foot soldiers and fundraisers for the DNC. The AFL-CIO is the mob, only they’re running a protection racket for Democrats. Oh, they still have their private jets and private golf clubs in Michigan and all the perks of robbing millions thousands of American workers of their hard earned cash so they can spend it on political allies. Does anyone else remember Dick Trumka endorsing Drooling Joe in 2020, and using the AFL-CIO to spend a lot of money getting Drooling Joe elected? I remember. And what happened on Day One of Drooling Joe’s instalment? He canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline, which wiped out 50,000 various jobs in the MidWest, most especially good paying union jobs.
Even Dick Trumka, who is now burning in hell for all of eternity as his reward for doing Satan’s work on earth, later admitted (before his death) that endorsing Drooling Joe was a mistake. Oopsie, too late.
Under the oh-so-steady hand of the unions here in America, manufacturing has declined to extinction levels. If WWIII happened today, we couldn’t build enough vehicles or weapons to supply what we need. And that happened not only on the union’s watch, but with the union’s endorsement. The money raised by the unions went to politicians who shipped our jobs overseas, and then let in millions of illegal aliens to take the jobs that were left in the States.
I’d rather be homeless and unemployed than take a job where the union takes my money, gives it to Democrats, then pisses on my back and tells me its raining. I refuse to pay any more for my own destruction, as the FedGov is quite capable of taking even more of my money and using it to turn the former USA into another third-world shithole.
I’m not even beginning to discuss the teacher’s unions, who seemingly exist to keep pedophile predator teachers from ever seeing the inside of a jail cell. They certainly don’t exist to improve the quality of education in this country.

The issue I have with unions in general is that they exist to protect the worst employees from being fired for their incompetence (since even average workers need not fear, and actually good ones can write their own tickets), but the public sector unions (government workers, and anyone getting paid by government-collected tax dollars are even worse. In any “normal” union seeking more benefits for the same work, it is the workers arguing with the owners, with each representing their own interests, but in government workers, that union is made up of government workers arguing with other government workers over how much benefit they all get to take home, while the ones paying the bills (John and Jane Taxpayer) don’t even get a transcript of the proceedings, never mind a place at the bargaining table or a voice/vote in the eventual outcomes, and there is less than zero disincentive for the government workers bargaining with themselves to worry about the consequences of the decisions being settled at. The ultimate is the provision written into the Budgetary setup, where Congress gets a raise every year, automatically, unless they vote to refuse it by overriding the law for THIS year’s budget (and back to normal once the angry public has moved on to some other Nine Days’ Wonder), and the President can just as quietly veto that override, with a compliant media not bothering to mention it. It needs to end, and the only comfort I have is knowing that it will.
