Private donors led by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg pumped more than $400 million into administering the 2020 presidential election, money that was often funneled by Democratic operatives into Democratic districts in what became essentially a get-out-the-vote effort for President Biden. The total amount of private donations for carrying out the 2020 election exceeded the federal government’s entire allocation for election spending in the same year.(Snip)These groups funneled much of the money to cities and counties rich in Democratic voters for purposes that appear less centered on voter safety and more focused on increasing turnout among certain voting groups.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is plotting a White House run—and his new policy of bussing illegal immigrants to DC is part of his plan to woo GOP voters, analysts believe. Gov. Abbott was praised by fellow Republicans after he sent two buses full of Latin American asylum applicants to the U.S. Capitol last week. He has vowed to continue to do so as border states brace for a huge influx of migrants from next month when President Biden brings a Trump-era law that guaranteed immediate expulsion to an end. Party insiders allege Abbott's 'audacious' response to the border crisis is a first step towards a presidential bid,
Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday tried to assure the public that the subways are safe after last week’s rampage—while arguing other big cities have crime and Gotham isn’t nearly as dangerous as it used to be. Adams and his police commish, Keechant Sewell, appeared on TV touting transit safety just five days after a madman opened fire on a Brooklyn train, wounding 29 people.(Snip)NYPD statistics show that so far this year, major felonies reported in the subway system rose 68%, robberies in the subways surged by 72%, and felony assaults have increased by 28%. Figures released earlier this month also revealed a 37% increase in major crimes
Two men were formally charged this week in connection to a string of attacks against three Sikh men in Queens, prosecutors said.
Vernon Douglas, 19, was arrested Thursday after investigators said he approached a 70-year-old man in traditional Sikh clothing, and punched him in the face unprovoked just before 7 a.m. near 95th Avenue and Lefferts Boulevard in Richmond Hill on April 3. The victim, identified by the Sikh Coalition as Nirmal Singh, suffered a broken nose and bruises to his face.(Snip)Prosecutors allege Douglas struck again on April 12, targeting two more Sikh men with a stick, which the 19-year-old used to strike both men
A pair of Arizona diversity, equity and inclusion 'experts' have been blasted for falsely accusing an African-American DJ of wearing blackface at an event. Jill Lassen and Stuart Rhoden, who advocate for diversity at the Scottsdale Unified School District in various capacities, wrote scathing letters of complaint after DJ Kim Koko Hunter appeared at a PTA event, and they mistook him for a white man. Stuart and Rhoden have since apologized, with some noting the irony of 'diversity and inclusion' activists rushing to such false conclusions. But Rhoden also sought to double down on his initial allegation, and speculated as to whether Hunter may have used cosmetic products
At Easter the Little Petra guesthouse in the heart of Jerusalem’s Christian quarter should be bustling with pilgrims. Instead, the only ‘guests’ are a group of Jewish settlers who, judging by the charred double doors leading to what was the hotel’s souvenir shop, look like they checked in with cutting equipment. But this is not just an unholy squabble over expensive real estate between Christian and Jewish communities in the old city. It’s part of what Jerusalem’s church leaders believe is an existential threat to all Christians in the cradle of the faith.(Snip)‘An exodus of Christians will turn us into Disneyland,’ says the Anglican Archbishop of the city,
The European Union’s anti-fraud body has accused Marine Le Pen and several of her party members–including her father–of embezzling about €620,000 while serving as members of the European parliament.
France’s investigative website Mediapart published a section of the new 116-report alleging that the MEPs misused EU funds for national party purposes. The claims come a week before the second round of the presidential election, on 24 April, in which Le Pen will go head to head with Emmanuel Macron.(Snip)In one incident reported by Mediapart, Marine Le Pen is said to have made a claim in 2010 worth €5,000 for hotel rooms for 13 far-right
A 22-year-old man was arrested in connection with a shooting at a busy mall in South Carolina's capital city that left 14 people injured. Jewayne M. Price, 22, was arrested early Sunday and is expected to be charged with unlawful carrying of a pistol.
He was initially detained as one of three people initially identified as persons of interest in Saturday's shooting at Columbiana Centre. No fatalities have been reported. But nine people were shot and five people suffered injuries, including broken bones lacerations and a head injury, while attempting to flee the mall for safety. The victims ranged in age from 15 to 73.
Immigration officials wasted $17 million dollars on unused hotels for migrants last year, after hiring a politically connected contractor that failed to meet COVID-19 protocols, a government watchdog found. Immigration and Customs Enforcement entered into the $87 million contract with the nonprofit company Endeavors to provide services for the surge of migrants at the southern border, the Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General said in a Tuesday report. ICE should have sought multiple bids for the work, instead of signing onto the “sole source” deal with Endeavors, which required the agency to pay for a block of more than 1,200 hotel rooms, no matter how many were used,
Austin, Texas—Some Gullett Elementary School students received a rather strange item Thursday from the Easter Bunny: unopened condoms. In a letter to parents, Gullett principal Tammy Thompson says that a parent had visited the campus in Northwest Austin Thursday afternoon during dismissal dressed as the Easter Bunny and handed out plastic eggs. Thompson says that some eggs contained candy, but some students were also given unopened condoms by the parent. Gullett parents were assured in the letter that this was not planned or sanctioned by the school. Austin ISD says that the parent was asked to leave, but they went to the public sidewalk and continued to give away eggs,

was turned away from steakhouse for wearing leggings 28 replies
Former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said she was denied entry to an upscale steakhouse due to her attire Friday. Ms. Bottoms tweeted that she should be able to wear “mall” attire because the Capital Grille restaurant she visited is located at the Perimeter Mall in Dunwoody, Georgia. “Asked if I could sit in the bar area and was told, ‘No.’. Rules are the rules, just wonder if the woman who came in immediately after me, who I did not see come back out, was also denied service,” she wrote. Ms. Bottoms’ clothing violated the restaurant’s dress code, according to its website. “For the comfort of all guests
The CIA concluded in early 2017 that dirt tying former President Trump to Russia that was provided by Clinton campaign lawyer Micheal Sussmann was “not technically plausible,” special counsel John Durham said in a court filing posted Saturday. Mr. Durham alleges that in February 2017, Mr. Sussmann met with a second government agency where he presented evidence purportedly linking Mr. Trump to Russia. Although Mr. Durham doesn’t name the agency, it has been previously confirmed that Mr. Sussmann met with the CIA around this time. During the meeting, Mr. Sussmann presented the CIA with allegations of a secret communications channel between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa Bank,

Free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick reveals he's desperate to return to the NFL nearly six years after he became the first athlete to take a knee during the national anthem. Kaepernick, speaking exclusively with I Am Athlete, said he is 'absolutely' and 'without question' ready to make his league comeback after having not thrown a pass in the pros since January 1, 2017. 'That's five years of training behind the scenes to make sure I'm ready at the highest level,' Kaepernick said during a candid interview following a training session with former NFL wide receivers Chad Johnson and Brandon Marshall.
Alexandra Hunt, 29, is running for the Democratic nomination for the Philadelphia-area congressional district and has been attempting to leverage her sordid past in order to gain an edge over her competition in the race.
As a young adult, Hunt chose to become a sex worker while she studied at the University of Richmond where she earned a degree in psychology and now has her eyes set on Congress. She also wants everyone to know that she never regretted her abortion.
New CEO on CNN: Time to Take out the Trash

We’ve talked about the change of ownership of CNN and how the word was that they would be changing things to move CNN back to its roots of being a news organization, the way it was decades ago.
Now, David Zaslav, the Warner Bros. Discovery head who is taking over the conglomerate that includes CNN and a variety of other entertainment networks, is speaking out on his intentions. He sat with Oprah Winfrey this past week, outlined some of the changes that would be coming, and bashed “advocacy networks.”
The CEO told Winfrey that CNN needs to be about reporting and truth and facts.
Disney execs worried that Tinker Bell and Captain Hook were “potentially problematic” during their review of content headed to the new Disney+ streaming service, the New York Times reports. The review is part of Disney’s “Stories Matter” initiative, a wide-ranging effort to bring more inclusion into the Disney-sphere. From the project’s website:
As part of our ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, we are in the process of reviewing our library and adding advisories to content that includes negative depictions or mistreatment of people or cultures.
Tinker Bell (yes, I thought it was one word too) raised concern because she is “body conscious”
White House press secretary Jen Psaki wept during the “News Not Noise” podcast that came out on Thursday as she lamented over the “harsh and cruel” parental rights bills in Florida and elsewhere that liberals have misnomered as anti-LGBTQ.
The “News Not Noise” podcast host Jessica Yellin asked Psaki about the legislation that has passed in numerous conservative-led states across the nation.
“How do you make sense of what’s happening?” Yellin disingenuously asked the press secretary. “Is this sort of a predictable backlash to change? Or is this an organized political attempt to create a wedge issue ahead of the midterms in the 2024 campaign? Sort of like the way gay
The brother and sister-in-law of former first lady Michelle Obama are suing the University School of Milwaukee, alleging that administrators kicked their sons out after they complained of racist virtual lessons.Craig and Kelly Robinson filed a lawsuit against the Pre-K-12 school this week after alleging that the private school used words like 'plantation' inappropriately during lessons. They also claim that teachers were inconsiderate to a wide variety of socio-economic backgrounds. The complaint alleges that the school retaliated against their family- whose kids are aged nine and 11 -
To this point, Joe Biden has danced around the idea of running for a second term. His handlers have indicated that he plans to while leaving the door open for other circumstances to arise. When the president himself has spoken on it, he’s been even vaguer, mentioning his health and suggesting that Donald Trump possibly running again would be a deciding factor. A firm commitment has been largely elusive.
According to The Hill, though, Biden has committed to staying in the game. The president made those comments to Barack Obama during the latter’s recent White House comeback tour. "President Biden has told former President Obama that he is planning to run

With Legislation to Withdraw NEA’s Federal Charter 24 replies
A bill co-sponsored by 18 House Republicans would remove the National Education Association’s (NEA) 116-year-old federal charter because of the union’s hyper-partisanship and support for extreme ideological policies such as critical race theory (CRT).
“The NEA can no longer be considered a public service worthy of its federal charter as it has drifted substantially from its core mission and become a massive political operation dedicated to electing Democrats and imposing a radical progressive agenda on America’s schools,” (snip)
The NEA was chartered in 1906 by Congress ‘‘to elevate the character and advance the interests of the profession of teaching; and to promote the cause of education in the United States,’’

Jen Psaki and Peter Doocy clashed on Monday in the first White House press briefing following the infamous ‘stupid SOB’ incident between the media adversaries. Watch: (Video) “Why is it that we can sit here in the white house briefing room with no masks, but people can’t sit in an airplane cabin with no masks?” Doocy asked in reference to the national mask mandate being struck down in a federal court in Florida on Monday.“Well, Peter, I’m not a doctor,” she said condescendingly. “You’re not a doctor that I’m aware of. If you’re a doctor, I wasn’t aware of that today until today. Okay. Not a doctor.
Where Does The Reparations Scam Stop?

When attempting to predict the next wave of leftist insanity, it’s always smart to look to California, the land where Babylon Bee-style parody five years ago is inevitably tragic reality now, and the absurdist parody being written today is likely just a few months down the pike, if not already there. So naturally, in 2020 the land of fruits and nuts became the first state to establish a real-live “task force” to study the issue of slavery reparations. That task force made news earlier this month by voting to limit any compensation plan to, according to The Guardian, “descendants of enslaved and free
The Hunter Biden coverup continues to unravel and, as it does, questions about the president's involvement become harder to dodge. Hunter's nefarious dealings with what at the time was China's largest energy company, CEFC, are well-documented, as are his questionable activities in Russia and Ukraine. The concept is known as influence peddling, a smarmy practice refined to an art form in "the swamp."
Hunter Biden's "take" from Russia while his father was vice president was reportedly at least $3.5 million, for which he did nothing but be Joe Biden's son. Now, Joe Biden is president of the United States
As President Biden’s approval rating continues to plumb new depths, even some members of his own Democratic Party have begun to ask the once unthinkable: Will Joe Biden last through his first term in office?
Such a question might have seemed a bit over the top, as Biden only entered office in January of 2021. But, after a year of record inflation and gasoline price hikes, devastating COVID lockdowns, a surge of illegal immigration, the botched departure from Afghanistan, and growing questions over the 79-year-old president’s mental fitness, a surprising number of Americans now think Biden won’t last even another two and a half years

The agency's Facebook front group rigged an election to oust the outsider president, and we're supposed to celebrate this as freedom of speech by "private donors."
