Dingbats In Congress: We Need IQ Tests For Our Elected Officials

If you search the Internet as to the collective IQ’s of countries around the world, you’ll notice that the most successful countries enjoy average IQ’s over one-hundred. The further down the intelligence quotient ladder you descend, the worse the conditions of that country.

You may check the collective IQ of every country in the world.

If you look at the Republic of Congo, you see their population averages 63. Somalia averages 67.7. China enjoys 107. Guinea 53.5. United States at 99.7. Most of Canada, Australia and Europe at 100 plus.

When you look at all the countries of the world, it’s a good bet that the most successful countries enjoy an average IQ of over 100. The lower down the scale, the lesser the quality of life, the lesser their standards, the lesser their education levels, and the worse the general lives of the citizens of that country.

As an educator in the early 1970’s through the 1990’s, I taught in the inner city to discover that IQ made all the difference in the world as to the engagement of the parents and the success of their children. College educated parents engaged their kids in school, and attended parent teacher meetings. High school dropout kids’ parents could not be bothered.

After fleeing the inner city, I taught in an average middle class school system in Denver. Many of the kids arrived from college educated parents. Others enjoyed high school educated parents.

High-performing students enjoyed incredible comprehension of math, science, chemistry, algebra, history and language. Their IQ’s ran from 105 (bright) to 120 (very bright). Several of my students over the years enjoyed over 130 IQ’s. With each point in IQ, the student commanded all subjects and enjoyed top grades. They advanced to successful lives.

Is it fair that some are smart while others struggle? That’s the way it is in academics. It’s the same in athletics. Those 6’6” basketball players are the ones that win scholarships. Those 6’6” and 250 pound linebackers enjoy free college educations. The fastest track students also enjoy scholarships. Top swimmers that fly through the pool waters enjoy the Olympics and a free ride through college.

It’s the same in the movies. Brad Pitt’s handsome good looks landed him a fabulous life in Hollywood with leading ladies. Marilyn Monroe remains an icon 60 years after her death. Buxom and dazzling good looks gave her an amazing life.

To be sure, life is unfair as it doles out good looks and bodies to some people, but the rest of us must deal with our average brains, average bodies and average lives. Thankfully, we live in America or Western free countries where you may seize equal opportunity because of free enterprise and creativity. Many times, “effort and gumption” trump brain power.

But when it comes to politics here in the United States, we’re got to do something about electing dingbats and gross incompetence among those who are charged with making our laws.

Right now, for 2028, democrats are promoting for president of the USA, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, (D-NY), a totally intellectually vacant dingbat in the House of Representatives. Her district is decimated with crime, drugs, illegals, trash, rats, unemployment and filth. She couldn’t pass an 9th grade Algebra I class if her life depended on it. If you look at her podcasts, you see someone as self-absorbed and dumb as a turtle on a fencepost. She’s on that fencepost, but no one knows how she got there.

Then you’ve got another dingbat in Jasmine Crockett, (D-TX) in the House of Representatives. She’s being touted as AOC’s running mate. Like AOC, this lady is dumber than a fencepost. And yet, democrats are promoting her to become VP for the 2028 presidential ticket with AOC. May the Good Lord help us if those two ever reached the White House.

One look at California and you’ve got 30-year veteran in the House, Maxine Waters, the dingbat of dingbats, who does nothing for over 175,000 homeless in her district, and not one single solution to California’s unbelievable nightmare of drugs, illegals, crime, failing schools and sheer breakdown of society.

One look at the foreign dingbat of the year with a documented IQ of 67.7 is Somalian born Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who immigrated to America, married her brother, cheated our immigration laws, and yet, she’s in the House of Representatives as she subverts our Constitution. That lady stated that we are the worst country in the world. She represents 125,000 other Somalians with an average IQ of 67.7. Over 90 percent of them are still on welfare after 10 years in America. They lack any drive to become educated because they simply lack the intelligence to care about education.

One look at Hank Johnson, (D-GA), shows you a dingbat who stated on the Congressional Record that the Island of Guam would tip over if too many more people ran to one side of the island. Last week, he pretended to play a guitar and sing about impeaching Trump for destroying Iran’s ability to build nuclear bombs. Johnson should be impeached for being so stupid that he doesn’t know that he’s THAT stupid. He couldn’t pass a 6th grade geography course. Yet, he’s voting on laws that affect all Americans.

Yes, there are another dozen U.S. Senators and House Members that are as useless as lipstick on a pig…but they show their stupidities, and incompetent uselessness at every juncture. Either they are dumb, or stupid, or useless because of their low IQ’s. Or their stupidity by adhering to their liberal ideology.

Therefore, we need to pass a bill in Congress that anyone running for highest offices in the land needs at least a 105 to 110 IQ in order to comprehend what’s going on in the world. That way, we would stand a chance that our elected officials actually know what they are doing. Again, the most successful countries enjoy higher IQ’s throughout their common citizens.

When it comes to mass immigration out of those third world countries, we would be much wiser to accept only individuals with minimum IQ’s of 100 or higher.

We also need to accept people with compatible cultural and religious backgrounds that are in line with our country.

Otherwise, we’re seeing our standards dumbed down. We’re talking about standards of hygiene, personal grooming, and pride in self. Have you seen teen suicide rates lately? We’re seeing our schools dumbed down to the point of illiteracy for millions of kids. We’re seeing the quality of our work spiraling down the drain. We’re seeing a loss of pride and loyalty to our country. We’re seeing a breakdown in the cohesiveness of the fabric of America.

If you disagree with this commentary, please give me some ideas on how we can make America better. How can we escape dingbats like AOC, Maxine Waters, Rashida Tlaib, Hank Johnson, Jasmine Crockett and many more? Would you not agree that we need academic standards and IQ tests passed by our national leaders. Or, do you want dumb people managing our national affairs?
