The DNC's collapse is the direct result
of the defunding of USAID

By all accounts, even those of liberal media outlets, the Democratic National Committee is broke. Under the leadership of chairman Ken Martin, the DNC is facing a full-blown financial crisis. But how did it come to this? Well, donor flight is one part of the answer. Since President Trump and J.D. Vance took office in a historic victory, the DNC's once-reliable donor class has slammed the brakes on contributions. But the bigger story, and one the mainstream press won't touch, is that a critical pipeline of cash has been shut off: the massive taxpayer-funded slush fund known as USAID.

Why does this story come from Bulgaria? Can’t a US news source print it? That’s also a part of the problem.

Oh! So THAT'S why there's a YouTube ad (starring Comma-LA no less) begging people to donate to the DNC. Odd that Princess Word Salad was chosen, though. She's nothing but a reminder to former donors of how much she wasted their money in 2024 and she's totally a non-serious person to boot. However, I really can't think of anyone on the left who could provide the sincerity and honesty required to encourage donors to open their wallets.

Be interesting to see how many of the European Union's ultra-Left leaders suddenly bottom out their cash supplies, now that USAID money is shut off. Looks like we've been funding all the woke crap everywhere in the world.

And this folks is what would happen if we lost our collective minds and voted for reparations. Not a single, solitary thin dime would go to descendants of slaves but to NGO's and 'community organizers' to 'dole' out to their favorite 'rat politician.

Not just USAID, ActBlue as well. And many of the Dem big money donors are still upset over the way they were conned into giving Kamala more money, even though the internal polling showed she could not win. I hope the DOJ is on the lookout for illegal donations from overseas - they are coming.

Those who pledge allegiance to the taxpayer subsidies of the USAID, and to the democracy for which it stands, need to start covering the shortfall with their own money. One party, under water, with equity and social justice for all.

Excellent. Another of Washington's dirty secret dragged into the light. With the double impact of individual donors walking away and the backdoor federal funding being shut off, what will dems do? They face massive image problems and desperately need to get better PR out there but they can't pay for it. Not that they have anything good to talk about anyway and what they have tried to lie about has gone up in smoke almost as soon as they try to spin it. The high end spinmeisters want big bucks and all the dems can afford is liberal college students, who we have seen are rather immature and incompetent outside their liberal college echo chamber. And in the end, it may not matter much anyway. The reason they lied so effectively was the combination of elected dems, deep state operatives in the government, and the propaganda media. ALL these people have been thoroughly discredited and the American People no longer trust any of them, no matter how much money they use. More money might make a bigger smoke screen but they already had major credibility problems. Less money will just mean they collapse sooner rather than later.

"Genocidal" Israelis Save Life of Syrian Girl 6 replies
Posted by Christopher L 6/27/2025 1:33:52 PM Post Reply
The “genocidal” Israelis seem determined to confuse us. They confuse us when they provide first-rate medical treatment to Mahmoud Abbas (for whom an Israeli cardiologist made hushed-up house calls to Ramallah) Every day, thousands of Israeli Arabs are treated in Israeli hospitals by Jewish medical personnel; none of them appear to worry about becoming the victims of “genocide.” Since October 7, 2023, dozens of Gazan Arabs have been treated in the Sheba Medical Complex, while thousands have been helped by Israel to travel to third countries for treatment. Does that sound like a policy of “genocide” to you?

In a jailhouse visit marked by resilience, revelation and restrained emotion, former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters offered a window into the chapter of her life that has largely unfolded behind bars. “They didn’t think there was a chance in hell I’d have that evidence still,” Peters said. “But I had it.” She was referring to the Signal chat screenshots introduced during her trial – screenshots the prosecution reportedly didn’t expect her to possess. According to Peters, it was her two early attorneys who insisted on taking her phone and iPad. “Trust us,” “You’ll thank us later.” They were right.

Peters was following state and federal law to preserve those records. Trump’s DOJ has filed a statement of interest in Peter’s case, and President Trump himself has called attention to the fact that the persecution of Tina Peters is nothing more than Democrats covering up their own election crimes

It was a bold examination of how, in times of crisis, fear and conformity can be deliberately harnessed by those in power to manipulate public behaviour and silence dissent. Her message was a call to defend the freedom to question, to challenge authority, and to think independently. But when the video was submitted to TED’s US headquarters for publication on the organisation’s official YouTube channel, it was rejected.

President Trump is the G.O.A.T. - the greatest president of my lifetime, and by the end of his 2nd term, I’m betting he will be seen as the greatest president of all time. So far, what he has accomplished in only 2 1/2 months is amazing, unimaginable, and breathtaking. In 2 1/2 months, he has already achieved more great things than my hero Ronald Reagan did in eight years! But there is one thing Trump should be focused on above all else. President Trump must prove the 2020 election was stolen, bring the hard evidence to the American people, and charge the Democrat party with RICO.

A federal appeals court panel has cleared the way for the Trump administration to largely dismantle the work of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, lifting a lower-court judge’s injunction that had preserved the agency’s structure — and barred mass layoffs — for months. The 2-1 ruling, authored by Judge Gregory Katsas, said a series of legal defects in the lawsuit brought by CFPB employees and the NAACP doomed the case and required the district court judge’s blockade to be lifted. Katsas, a Trump appointee, said the fatal flaw was the broad challenge against what the employees described as a master plan to shutter the agency altogether.
