Reminds me of the time during a question and answer session when someone was asking the expert on stage of his opinions about "Malcolm the Tenth".

Democratic politician whips votes to give "Hitler" unlimited surveillance powers. And the credulous Biden voters on this forum think they're the resistance.

Are there really two million NGOs? Talk about fleecing the public. Why don't we make the Feds giving $$$ to NGOs illegal?

FWIW, Internet rumors USAID gave funds to Malia Obama.

Per the IRS, yes, there are approximately 1.95 million registered nonprofit/tax-exempt organizations in the U.S.

Taxpayer funding flows to NGOs/nonprofits because elected lawmakers decide it serves the public interest, and the system includes built-in safeguards. If funding is misspent, remedies exist through audits, lawsuits, or future appropriations cuts, just like the current DOJ lawsuit against the SPLC.

An article every centrist ****lib should read


Quote:

Mills was handpicked by Senate Leader Chuck Schumer himself. Party leadership saw her as their best shot at toppling Susan Collins the only Republican senator from a state Kamala Harris won. Voters were endlessly browbeat about how inexperienced her primary opponent was, how this race was existential, how a vote against Mills was a vote for the political abyss.

There was a time when that kind of emotional blackmail worked. Not anymore.

And no, this didn't happen because Mills "did not want to run for Senate," as The New York Times put it. If you take a look at Mills' announcement today, you can practically hear her grinding her teeth through it

Quote:

She was absolutely playing to win. She just lost.

Or, put another way, the voters won.

Not that the legacy media noticed. Virtually every major outlet ran with Mills' own "I ran out of funds" line a verbal sleight of hand that makes it sound like a budgeting problem, like her campaign manager overdrew her checking account. None of them asked the obvious follow-up: why didn't she have the money? That question doesn't get asked because asking it puts voters at the center of the story instead of Washington donors and consultants. Mills' opponent, Graham Platner, had money because people gave it to him. People who wanted him to win.

That's the whole story, and it's the one none of these major media organs are telling. Instead we get "she said she ran out of financial resources."

Quote:

As for Platner, his simple anti-old ways message and affordability patter is clearly what people want right now. The press has spent months pointing out that he has no credentials, no qualifications, believes the wrong things, is anti-party, an "upstart," a "newcomer" at a time when rank-and-file voters could not possibly care less.

The candidates the party keeps putting up are old, scripted, allergic to risk, and fluent only in the dialect of cable news. They are not who voters want. Mills would have been the oldest freshman senator in American history. She would have been 86 at the end of her first term. Think about that. At a moment when even mainstream Democrats are begging for generational change, the party's solution to flipping a must-win seat was a 78-year-old whose pitch was essentially "I have been around a long time."

People are fed up with an establishment that doesn't listen, that tells them everything is under control even as it drives the country into a ditch. So they're taking the keys away.

Too bad we can't get a decent candidate in the California governor's race though.

Elizabeth Warren was key in blocking the JetBlue/Spirit merger to "protect consumers"…

The result? Spirit liquidates after 34 years. 16,000 employees just lost their jobs and the bigger airlines can now raise prices even more.

The Democrats abandoned the middle and working class in favor of the "POC" / Democrat Socialists. When HRC even read her vile comments about the "basket of deplorables", she laid some of it out.

Maybe they didn't factor in Latinos being fundamentally Conservative, and some Asian Americans leaning Conservatice (affirmative action one example). And President Trump firing up the base.

Nothing amuses me more than conservatives getting the problems with the Democrats 100% wrong.

Tie in the HRC comments with the Democrat-funding and seeding of fake or Democrat-controlled 'hate groups'. Same for Welfare scams run by various groups.

(Nick Shirley claims Russian groups in Southern California have threatened his family, and said don't expose their criminality.)

Fed $$$ --> NGOs --> SPLC --> hate groups ---> seeded acts --> generates $$$ SPLC --> Democrat campaigns

Fed $$$ --> NGOs // welfare groups / home aide / food for children / Somali fake social services groups --> Democrat campaigns --> Somali groups

Besides being Jewish, what would be the Democratic Party's objections over picking Pennsylvania Governor, Josh Shapiro, as their candidate?

Being Jewish is all they need to hate him
