Federal Reserve Staff Funds Democratic
Party Lurch to Left
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 5/11/2026 8:25:51 PM
Staffers of the Federal Reserve bank system are providing financial backing for the Democratic Party’s lurch toward the far left, a Washington Free Beacon analysis found. Political donations from the Fed staff have a sharp partisan tilt toward Democrats. In the 2024 campaign cycle, 90.3 percent of contributions from Fed employees went to Democrats, according to Open Secrets. The site doesn’t yet have a tally of the political distribution of donations this campaign cycle, but the Fed staff are jumping in, pouring money into contested Democratic primary races and supporting candidates with extreme views that are hostile to free-market economics or to America’s traditional allies.

Hunter Biden prostitution crimes kept
from them by Biden DOJ 5 replies
Two Senate committees have obtained records from the Justice Department that show the government possessed evidence of potential prostitution-related crimes related to former first son Hunter Biden.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson had requested the records from the Justice Department in 2022, pursuant to their investigation into alleged corrupt acts and conflicts of interest by members of the Biden family. Those requests were not answered at the time.
The Republican senators say the records – which include text messages between Hunter Biden and the women – show that the government had significant evidence of potential Mann Act violations allegedly committed
The White House shared that President Donald Trump was nominating Pennsylvania state Senator and former Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Slovakia, and Kari Lake as U.S. Ambassador to Jamaica.
In a press release from the White House on Monday, it was revealed several nominations were being sent to the Senate. Among the nominations, included one for Mastriano “to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to the Slovak Republic.”
Lake was also revealed to be nominated “to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to Jamaica.”
The State Department cut LGBT seminars, blindfolded team-building exercises and career events for pet owners from agency onboarding as part of its new Foreign Service recruiting push.
Foreign Service orientation or “A-100” is a six-week orientation for new officers and specialists. The revised curriculum aims to remove undue ideological influence and what some State Department officials saw as “juvenile” exercises. One axed activity aimed to foster “leadership and followership,” and “perspective-taking” by throwing things into buckets blindfolded.
“The Trump administration knows that an elite diplomatic service is key to effectively pursuing America’s national interests,” State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “That’s why the State Department has undertaken
WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci on Monday survived a five-year legal deadline to face criminal charges for allegedly lying to Congress about funding risky research in Wuhan, China — but he isn’t out of the woods, The Post has learned.
Fauci testified to a Senate committee on May 11, 2021, that he did not fund “gain of function” research that genetically altered coronaviruses in the same city where the COVID-19 pandemic started — as he tried to tamp down the now-dominant “lab leak” theory. Evidence shows he did.
The country’s former top infectious disease official still could face other potential charges for lesser-known contested testimony, or for alleged conduct stretching closer

‘Work from Home’ over Strait of Hormuz
Fuel Crisis 5 replies
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged citizens to resume coronavirus-era work from home (WFH) practices to save fuel and reduce reliance on imports during the Strait of Hormuz oil crisis.
“In this time of global crisis, we have to make a resolution, keeping duty paramount, and fulfill it with complete dedication. A big resolution is to use petrol and diesel sparingly. We must curb our use of petrol and diesel,” Modi said.
Modi also said India must “place great emphasis on saving foreign exchange” by cutting back on imports. To that end, he urged citizens to postpone foreign travel and refrain from buying gold

A Spanish court has sentenced two parents to prison for keeping their children locked away at their home for years in a case now known in the country as ‘The Oviedo Horror House’.
A couple, identified due to Spanish child protection standards only as a 53 year-old German man and a 48 year-old German-American dual national woman, have been sentenced to two years and ten months in prison each for child abuse. The case, which is said to have shocked the nation and residents of the northwest city of Oviedo, Asturias, saw three children — two nine year-old twins and an 11 year-old boy — locked away by their parents
More open borders politicians ought to be taking a lesson from the fate of Nate Erskine-Smith. Until last year, Erskine-Smith had served as the Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities in the radical leftist Canadian government. That meant lots of welfare and mass migration.
Now he just lost an election to Ahsanul Hafiz: a Bangladeshi pizzeria owner.
Really, Erskine-Smith had defeated himself and had no shot against such ‘diverse’ competition. After a full day of ranked ballot voting to select the riding’s Liberal candidate in the upcoming provincial byelection, Hafiz emerged victorious
The Democratic Socialist of America Party is a communist party by another name. That’s why Red Diaper Baby Bernie Sanders joined. The name provides a euphemistic cover for a disastrous ideology. The DSA is running the most radical people for political office, not just at the top but also at lower levels. They are working in cities and states that are already blue and woke, and even solid red states. Many Americans don’t realize what is going on.
Zohran Mamdani is a DSA member and a communist Islamist. Ketanje Jackson was pushed forward by the DSA for the Court. AOC is a DSA plant.
Maine's far-left Democratic Senate nominee, Graham Platner, has leaned on his career as a "working-class" oyster farmer to cast himself as a blue-collar everyman. His Ivy League business partner—who owns the secluded island where the farm is based—is, well, anything but.
Robert Cushman III is an elite New England boarding school graduate who has described his habit of drinking "foraged spring water with Redmond sea salt." He got into the oyster farming business, he has said, after having had a "liminal seafood experience" at the age of four. The website for the Platner-Cushman farm—which is officially called the Frenchman Bay Oyster Company but does business under the name
The deepest cuts are his reviews.
A New Jersey plastic surgeon now running for Congress—under fire for his long friendship with the notorious, terror-plotting "Blind Sheikh"—has left a string of patients with lifelong burns, scars, and other disfigurements, according to multiple allegations against his medical practice. Adam Hamawy, a far-left progressive, is currently the favorite to win a crowded Democratic primary to replace retiring member Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman in the Garden State's 12th district, which leans heavily Democratic. He's been endorsed by Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), and other luminaries of the party's far left.
But at least some of Hamawy's former patients won't be voting for him.
President Donald Trump said he donates 100% of his presidential salary to preservation projects at the White House.
“I do, much of it goes to the White House preservation and I fix things up, you might have seen the path outside, did you see it? It’s beautiful, I’ll let you take a look at it later. It’s beautiful, beautiful black granite, it was stone that was all broken and in terrible shape, Trump said on Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson on Sunday. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he was the only president, aside from George Washington, to donate his salary. As reports show the statement being untrue,

Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones filed a long-shot emergency petition to the Supreme Court on Monday, urging it to reinstate the voter-approved Democratic gerrymander of the state’s congressional map, which the Virginia Supreme Court struck down last week.
The petition, filed on behalf of Jones and other Democratic leaders in Virginia, argued that the Virginia Supreme Court erred in ruling that an “election” in the Virginia constitution includes the early voting period, instead arguing that under federal law, an “election” refers to a singular day.
A high school prom celebration turned deadly after gunfire erupted at a local park, killing a teenage girl and wounding four others, according to officials.
Saturah Hayes, 17, was fatally shot Friday evening in Brownsville, Tenn. — about an hour northeast of Memphis — where Haywood High School students decked out in tuxedos and dresses gathered for photographs before the big dance, police and school officials said.
Four others were shot and hospitalized, according to police. It’s not clear how many of those wounded were students.
The prom was cut short and the school was closed Monday to give Hayes’ classmates time to grieve, Action News 5 reported.
In 1921, Woodrow Wilson, the first of America’s four transformative progressive presidents, became the first president to remain in Washington and make the nation’s capital his permanent home after leaving office. In very mild defense of the man who did more than any other to establish the administrative state and thus pervert America’s carefully constructed constitutional design, Wilson had suffered a debilitating stroke two years prior that left him partially paralyzed and nearly blind. He died just a few years later, in 1924. Barack Obama, the nation’s fourth transformative progressive president (following Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson)
In 2008 Joe Biden was Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with oversight jurisdiction of the U.S State Dept., and by extension all foreign policy nominations etc.
In 2008 John Brennan was working for the Obama campaign when someone from his outside government group, The Analysis Corporation, “hacked” into the state dept database to access the passport files and State Dept records of Barack Obama.

A federal grand jury in San Antonio returned an indictment charging a New Braunfels woman with the alleged arson attack, where she is accused of setting fire to the Comal County Republican Party Headquarters. According to the indictment, 22-year-old Grace Carol Brown is charged with actual and attempted malicious damage by fire to property involved in interstate or foreign commerce.
The indictment alleges Brown attempted to set fire to a building that houses two commercial businesses in addition to the county’s GOP headquarters on January 14. Justin R. Simmons, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas, announced the indictment on Friday.
A law that was brought in under Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to give all candidates an equal chance at the ballot is now being contested. In California, the primaries — dubbed the “jungle primaries” — work in a way where the two candidates, regardless of party, who secure the top two positions in the June primary advance to the general election. Now, a newly filed application is aiming to change that. (Snip) “It was extremely scary to envision the November ballot for governor with Republicans on it,” Maviglio told the Los Angeles Times.

As Pakistan positioned itself as a diplomatic conduit between Tehran and Washington, it quietly allowed Iranian military aircraft to park on its airfields, potentially shielding them from American airstrikes, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter.
Iran also sent civilian aircraft to park in neighboring Afghanistan. It was not clear if military aircraft were among those flights, two of the officials told CBS News.

Kill the Filibuster—or Make Them Talk
9 replies
Five words: Power unused is power surrendered.
That’s the reality Senate Republicans now face.
With a narrow majority and a nation increasingly concerned about election integrity, Republicans face a choice: act decisively or allow procedural relics to dictate policy outcomes. At the heart of this dilemma is the filibuster — not a constitutional safeguard, not a sacred institution, but a Senate rule that has evolved into a minority veto.
And in its current form, it’s not even honest. Today’s filibuster is a shadow of its former self. Senators no longer need to stand on the floor, speak for hours, or defend their obstruction before the American people.

In the 2024 campaign cycle, 90.3 percent of contributions from Fed employees went to Democrats, according to Open Secrets.

The State Bar of Arizona (SBA) is disbarring another conservative attorney, Vlad Gagic, after he loudly objected on social media to the prosecution of one of his clients, whom he believed was innocent. Gagic told me he acted as a whistleblower, exposing systemic corruption, prosecutorial misconduct, judicial bias and political retaliation.
The situation arose while Gagic was defending his former client, Jamaal Pennington, a young black man who Gagic became convinced was wrongly accused of sex trafficking and pimping. Gagic told me he uncovered and documented massive misconduct by the prosecution. When Pennington’s accuser, the key witness against him, recanted her story and said she had identified the wrong man,
Bexar County Court-at-Law No. 13 Judge Rosie Speedlin-Gonzalez, the self-proclaimed “first openly LGBT judge” in the county, has been forced to resign in disgrace and accept a permanent, lifetime disqualification from ever holding judicial office in the State of Texas again.
According to the Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct, Speedlin-Gonzalez signed off on the deal on April 20, 2026, quietly slinking off the bench effective immediately.
In exchange, prosecutors dropped felony unlawful restraint and misdemeanor official oppression charges against her.
