DESPERATION: George Soros is Dumping Millions into Chuck Schumer’s PAC To Save Senate Majority

By ,

Financial titan and philanthropist George Soros, along with other billionaires, is pouring millions of dollars into Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer-aligned Super PAC. 

The flood of cash is ostensibly meant to help democrats keep the U.S. Senate in November’s midterm elections, though the verdict is out as to how this money will be spent.

Fox News reports:

“Soros steered $2.5 million from his Democracy PAC to the Senate Majority PAC in July, while hedge fund billionaire James Simons added an identical amount, according to new Federal Election Commission filings. The duo was the largest donors to the committee last month, which is now entering the home stretch of the midterm elections with nearly $73 million cash on hand. The new Soros cash also brings his total to the Senate Majority PAC to $10 million for the 2022 elections, making him one of its largest contributors behind a dark money nonprofit affiliated with the PAC,”

“Majority Forward, a nonprofit that does not identify its funders, has provided the Senate Majority PAC with at least $27 million in donations this cycle, according to a previous Fox News Digital review of campaign finance records. Majority Forward hauled in a record $105 million between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, according to its most recent tax forms. The nonprofit maintains a close relationship with the Senate Majority PAC,”

This would not be the first time dark money groups like Majority Forward and George Soros were the top backers of the Senate Majority PAC. Back in the 2020 election cycle, Majority Forward pumped at least $50 million into the committee, while Soros chipped in $11.5 million from his own PAC.

This surge in spending suggests that Democrats are fully aware that Republicans are poised to take control of the House. As the party veers further and further to the left, many Democrats are switching their party affiliation and joining the GOP.

The Nevada Independent reports:

“Sure, Dems, they are relatively small numbers, but the trend is inexorable. If it’s a mass switching to muck around in GOP primaries, kudos for your discipline. But I don’t think so,”

“Combine this trend with the Repubs doubling the Dems in voter registration in May, which never happens, and the Dem statewide lead about to drop below 3 percent (this is unprecedented since…the Reagan Era?), and all of the signs are red wavy,”

“The numbers continue to only be in the hundreds, but they are adding up in party switching — three times as many Dems switching to GOP as Repubs going to Dem again in March, via the SOS. Maybe some Dems just want to vote in the two major contested GOP primaries in June — maybe — but this is consistent for months now,”

More than two and a half times as many Democrats have switched their voter registrations to Republicans, a statistic with ominous portents for Democratic candidates. The numbers since September also show that one and a half times as many Democrats switched to nonpartisan as did Republicans. 

With reports like these, it’s hard to imagine that any amount of Soros cash can stop what is likely coming this November.

The Same FBI Chief Who Botched Whitmer Kidnapping Now Runs DC Office Tied to Trump Raid

By ,

The very same FBI field office in Washington D.C. that conducted the now notorious raid on former President Donald  Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home is being run by the same man who ran the Detroit field office during the botched attempt to entrap militiamen in kidnapping Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Steven D’Antuono was promoted by FBI Director Christopher Wray in October of 2020 to head the Bureau’s Washington Field Office. Deadline Detroit reported:

Steven M. D’Antuono, who was named chief of the Detroit FBI office a year ago, has been promoted to head the Washington Field Office, a coveted post in the bureau.

FBI Director Christopher Wray made the announcement Tuesday, just several days after D’Antuono’s agents and state police busted up a plot to abduct Gov. Gretechen Whitmer. His official new title is assistant director in charge. 

The job of heading the Washinton Field Office is among the most coveted posts in all of law enforcement, being the second-largest FBI field office behind New York City’s.

Details continue to emerge regarding the FBI’s integral role in the alleged kidnapping plot as public support for the agency plummets to new lows. The public sentiment among conservatives has dropped dramatically due to politically motivated investigations, prosecutions, and whistleblowers reporting law enforcement decisions being subject to political bias.

According to reporter Julie Kelly, the Whitmer kidnapping plot was an “FBI-inspired, organized, and executed a scheme to ‘kidnap’ and ‘assassinate’ Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer ahead of the 2020 presidential election.”

Two of the fourteen men named in the plot, the only two who were not working for or with the FBI, were acquitted in April on the grounds that they had been entrapped by the FBI, and the jury could not reach a verdict for Fox and Croft, Kelly told “War Room” TV show host Steve Bannon last Tuesday.

As the DOJ prepares to retry Fox and Croft, Kelly believes that the department’s “timing could not be worse,” as the credibility of both the DOJ and FBI is “imploding” in the wake of the raid on Donald Trump and reports from Chuck Grassley’s whistleblowers.

Recent examples of politically motivated law enforcement action against both Trump allies and Biden opponents include:

  • The home of former Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark was raided by federal agents, who ordered him to stand outside in his underwear as they searched his house. CNN aired the bodycam footage of the raid, coincidentally taking place only one day before a public hearing by the Jan. 6 committee examining Clark’s role in supporting Trump’s efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election.
  • Peter Navarro, the former Trump White House trade official, was publicly arrested by the FBI in June on a misdemeanor charge of contempt of Congress. Navarro alleges he was shackled in leg irons and strip-searched. The DOJ denies the claims. The judge in the case rebuked the DOJ for publicly arresting Navarro rather than just summoning him to court.
  • Trump election attorney John Eastman and Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) both had their phones seized by the FBI. Eastman’s phone was taken for the government’s Jan. 6 criminal probe, while Perry’s was in relation to alternate electors for Jan. 6.
  • The FBI searched the homes and seized electronics of investigative journalist James O’Keefe and two of his associates at conservative media organization Project Veritas;
  • Former Trump attorney and two-term New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s home and office were raided as part of a Justice Department criminal probe into his business dealings and communications with Ukrainians.

Opinion: The American Bankers Association Announce Seminar on ‘Domestic Terrorism’ While Ignoring Other Issues, Because YOU are the Real Danger

By ,

The American Bankers Association  (ABA) has recently announced that they will be holding a seminar on September 28, 2022, titled ‘Domestic Terrorism: A Threat to the Financial System’.

As per their website,

 “ABA proudly represents institutions of all asset sizes and charter types. These diverse perspectives drive the development of our daily work and policy positions. Take a look at where we’ve been, and where we’re going. From delivering the latest industry news to developing mission-critical training offerings, we support America’s banks as they perform their vital role in energizing the economy and helping communities thrive.”

This webinar comes as more serious threats to our economy mount. The webinar does not seem to cover high inflation, big hits to manufacturing, exceptionally high consumer prices, and households accumulating unprecedented credit card debt to survive; all as the economy is weakening at an alarming pace.

Despite this, the ABA has decided to focus in on ‘domestic terrorism’, a term whose definition has become rather amorphous in recent years as it’s been used to describe disgruntled citizens, concerned parents, poll watchers, protestors, and so on. 

Some have gone so far as to call the seminar “continued indoctrination”. The seminar’s description reads:

Take a closer look at the rise of domestic terrorists and other extremist groups, how they communicate and receive funding, and the threats they pose to the financial system.

Discussion highlights:

  • The changing threat landscape and the risks to the integrity of our financial system
  • The informal nature of the groups and their reliance on social media
  • How they receive funding

Audience:

  • Chief Risk Officer

  • Chief Compliance Officer

  • BSA Officer

  • BSA Manager

  • Fraud Manager

  • Compliance Managers

  • Risk Managers

  • Internal Audit

  • First Line Compliance Managers

One can’t help but wonder if the timing of this seminar has anything to do with the recent mass hire and arms training of 87,000 new IRS agents. If anyone is committing acts of terrorism, it’s the so-called financial institutions of the United States.

Donald Trump, King of Trolls, is Now Endorsing Democrats

By ,

Donald Trump, in several posts on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday, began sarcastically endorsing democratic candidates in the party’s primary. 

The first target of Trump’s democrat endorsement campaign was lawyer Dan Goldman, who the former President praised for having “headed up the Impeachment committee and lost”.

“Lawyer Dan Goldman is running for Congress, NY-10, and it is my great honor to Strongly Endorse him,” Trump quipped. “I do this not because of the fact that he headed up the Impeachment Committee and lost, but because he was honorable, fair, and highly intelligent.”

Trump continued:

“While it was my honor to beat him, and beat him badly, Dan Goldman has a wonderful future ahead… He will be very compassionate and compromising to those within the Republican Party, and will do everything possible to make sure they have a fair chance at winning against the Radical Left Democrats, who he knows are destroying our Country. I would like to thank Dan for fighting so hard for America, and for working so tirelessly to stop ‘Trump,’… He was not easy to beat, but winning against him made me realize just how very talented I am!”

Trump’s “endorsement” of Goldman seems to be poking fun at the New York Times, which also endorsed Goldman in the Democratic primary last week, lauding his “work on the impeachment trial” and his “close working relationships” with the D.C establishment.  

Trump’s next target was the struggle between Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and House Oversight Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), a race that is the product of Democrats’ botched gerrymandering attempt, forcing two top Democrats to contend over a single seat. 

“A vote for Carolyn Maloney in NY-12 is a vote for the future! She is a kind and wonderful person, who has always said terrific things about me and will support me no matter what I do, just as I supported her very early on. She begged for a check with no quid pro quo, and I gave it to her. In fact, I gave her many… On the other hand, Jerry Nadler is likewise a hard-driving man of the people, whose energy and attention to detail is unlike anyone else in Congress… He is high energy, sharp, quick-witted, and bright. You can’t go wrong with either, but Carolyn Maloney is the better man. She will lead our Country into a very GREEN and prosperous future. Carolyn has my Complete and Total Endorsement, she will never let our Conservative Movement down!”
