‘Cancel Rent’ Champion Ayanna Pressley Raked in Thousands as Landlord, Records Show
The end result of this economic warfare is the usurpation of power from American citizens to foreign nationals. First, this is hidden but as their power grows it moves into the open. This can be seen in Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez asserting that immigration laws should not apply to Latinos as this land is rightfully theirs, as well as Senator Kamala Harris asserting that foreign nationals have the right to make laws with respect to U.S. citizens.

'Squad' member calls rent cancellation 'a matter of life and death,' ignoring her own rental income

The progressive congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.) has called rent cancellation legislation "literally a matter of life and death." At the same time, she has collected cash from her own rental properties.
Pressley and her husband made as much as $15,000 in rental income in 2019 after purchasing a $658,000 Boston home, according to property records and financial disclosures reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The income appears to come over the course of four months—the unit was first listed for $2,500 a month in June 2019 and the posting was removed in August.
Pressley and her husband refinanced the building as a multifamily investment property in August 2020. That requires the couple to maintain rent loss insurance.
Pressley's office did not return multiple requests for comment on whether the Democrat collected rent during the pandemic, and her real estate agent also did not return a request for comment.
Even if Pressley waived rent when the pandemic hit, she could recoup the lost income through a bill she cosponsored with fellow progressive representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.). The Squad members introduced the Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act in both 2020 and 2021, which would require the federal government to reimburse landlords for lost rent for the duration of the pandemic.
The bill also uses taxpayer money to create a "landlord relief fund" that prioritizes landlords with "the fewest available amount of assets," meaning Pressley and other minor lessors would be more likely to receive funds than large real estate firms.
While supporting the bill, Pressley argued that rental payments force American families to "choose between putting food on the table and keeping a roof over their head."
Pressley and her husband earned roughly $400,000 in combined income in 2019, the Democrat's financial disclosure shows.
The lawmaker's building serves as both a primary residence and rental property, with the Democrat living in one unit and renting out the other. The property's deed, mortgage papers, and homestead declaration list her husband's name; Pressley herself is not mentioned on the documents. The Democrat, however, reported the 2019 rental income as her own and also listed the six-figure mortgage as her personal liability—the appropriate move, according to Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust executive director Kendra Arnold.
"[Pressley] would have an interest in the property regardless. A spousal designation on her financial disclosure wouldn't be especially important for that type of investment," Arnold told the Free Beacon. "Same with the loan—even if she doesn't own the property, she would still be responsible for the mortgage."
The Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act would effectively force taxpayers to pay for every American's rent or mortgage, as it does not include limits on income or payment size. The provision would also help Pressley's progressive colleagues. Ocasio-Cortez, for example, lives in Washington, D.C.'s swanky Navy Yard neighborhood in a posh apartment building where rent for a small studio exceeds $2,000 a month.
Ocasio-Cortez stayed in the building during the opening weeks of the coronavirus outbreak, enjoying a rooftop pool, rooftop dog park, rooftop tennis court, Peloton cycling studio, yoga studio, private massage rooms with hydromassage beds, golf simulator, basketball court, and racquetball court. The amenities could be subsidized by the federal government should the Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act pass.
BLM Cofounder: Nuclear Family for Me, Not for Thee

One of the cofounders of Black Lives Matter, a movement that wants to end the nuclear family, said she bought millions of dollars of property to look out for her family.
Patrisse Cullors, a self-described Marxist who reportedly bought four homes worth $3.2 million in recent years, defended the spending spree as a decision to "invest in [her] family."
"I have a child, I have a brother that has severe mental illness that I take care of, I support my mother, and I support many other family members of mine," Cullors said. "I see my money as not my own. I see it as my family's money as well."
Cullors’s response is at odds with statements Black Lives Matter has made on family structure. On a page now deleted from its website, the group said one of its goals was to "disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages' that collectively care for one another."

Cullors's defense of her real estate spending spree came during an interview with anti-Semitic activist Marc Lamont Hill, who pressed Cullors about the "potential contradiction between your expressed politics [of Marxism] and your lived practice" of owning several expensive homes.
Cullors's lavish lifestyle has prompted criticism from others involved in the Black Lives Matter movement. Hawk Newsome, a New York City organizer for the group, said that Cullors's activity "makes people doubt the validity of the movement and overlook the fact that it’s the people that carry this movement."
Newsome is demanding accountability of Cullors's financials. "We need black firms and black accountants to go in there and find out where the money is going," he said.
The New York Post first reported Cullors bought four homes for over $3 million total and "also eyed property in the Bahamas at an ultra-exclusive resort where Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods both have homes."
Earlier this week, Facebook banned users from sharing the Post‘s reporting on Cullors’s spending spree, claiming it "was removed for violating our privacy and personal information policy."
Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation did not respond to a request for comment.

Social media giant censored negative stories about Patrisse Cullors, who spent lavishly on real estate

Facebook cofounder Dustin Moskovitz has poured over $5 million into a network of nonprofits run by Black Lives Matter leader Patrisse Cullors, according to financial disclosure records, raising questions about whether this relationship played a role in the company's decision to censor unflattering news articles about the activist last week.
The social media giant blocked its users from posting links to a New York Post story that revealed Cullors, a self-described Marxist, spent $3.2 million on high-end real estate as her Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation raked in millions in donations.
Facebook said the reporting violated its "privacy and personal information policy." The Post argued that the decision was "so arbitrary as to be laughable" and noted that the media routinely report on real estate purchases by other celebrities and political figures without facing social media censorship.
Several organizations founded by Cullors have been bankrolled by Moskovitz and his wife Cari Tuna, according to records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. Although Moskovitz left Facebook as an employee in 2008, he is still reported to be one of the top stakeholders in the company, with most of his $20 billion net worth coming from his estimated 2 percent holdings.
The Open Philanthropy fund and Open Philanthropy Project, Moskovitz's grant-making vehicles, contributed at least $5.6 million to groups founded by Cullors between 2017 and 2020. The donations include $2.8 million to Dignity and Power Now and more than $2.3 million to Reform L.A. Jails, which were both founded and chaired by Cullors. The Justice Teams Network, a group cofounded by Cullors, received $500,000.
The Open Philanthropy Project did not return a request for comment.
Cullors was paid $20,000 a month by Reform L.A. Jails in 2019, the Daily Callerreported earlier this month.
The National Legal and Policy Center, a watchdog group that has been monitoring Facebook's financial activities and Moskovitz's charitable records, criticized the company's decision to block reporting on Cullors.
"We think this, once again, proves freedom of speech is an option not a feature across the Facebook platform, where their corporate interests are placed above the interests of their users at every turn," said Peter Flaherty, chairman of the NLPC.
Cullors, who helped found the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation in 2013, came under fire from other leaders in the movement after her lavish real estate spending was revealed by the Post. The paper reported that she purchased a $1.4 million home near Malibu, a "custom ranch" in Georgia, and two other California properties worth a total of $3.2 million since 2016.
Hawk Newsome, the head of an unaffiliated group called Black Lives Matter Greater New York, told the Post that the revelations were "really sad because it makes people doubt the validity of the movement and overlook the fact that it's the people that carry this movement."
Neither Facebook nor Cullors responded to requests for comment.
WATCH: BLM Activist Asks When People ‘Ready to Get Blood on Their Hands?’
An activist speaking at Black Lives Matter Plaza asked how long before “people are really ready to get blood on their hands” to make change happen. His call to action came during a “Jail Killer Cops” rally in Washington, DC, on Friday evening.
“Voting is not gonna bring us this (change),” Rahim B., a 21-year-old activist, said during a “Jail Killer Cops” rally held Friday night in the nation’s capital. “We voted in the new president, Joe Biden, but I told folks straight up — Joe Biden ain’t gonna do nothing for us because Joe Biden was in office as the vice-president when the Black Lives Matter movement started and ain’t nothing changed.”
“We’ve been protesting for a really long time,” Rahim continued. “How much longer can we protest and march in the streets before we are ready, really ready, to get blood on their hands because one of these days, it’s going to have to come to that.”
Earlier in his speech, Rahim said he was ready to “dedicate my life to change.”
“Bringing about that change is not going to always be pretty, and it’s not going to be peaceful,” he predicted. “I don’t condemn who loot, I support them for looting. I support people who take matters in their own hands. If you want to set something on fire, go do that.”
Rahim said fathers are not in people’s lives because the system is killing them.
“The system is killing people every single day,” he explained. “In the courtroom, you got people locked up doing 20 years, facing life sentences, for crimes they didn’t commit.”
“How far are you willing to go for this justice?” Rahim asked.

Maxine Waters Unfit to Chair House Financial Services Committee Considering her record and documented history of poor ethical and moral fitness, it’s outrageous that Maxine Waters is up for chair of the ultra-powerful House Financial Services Committee, which has jurisdiction over the country’s banking system, economy, housing, and insurance. JUDICIAL WATCH
Maxine Waters blows into Minnesota --with bodyguards; warns jury to vote her way or else
You'd think Rep. Maxine Waters, a radical leftist, might feel among friends among the rioters and looters of Minnesota. On a tour of the riots, seems she wasn't.
Bodyguards? As in 'private police'? Were they actually private, or were they paid for in one way or another by some government fisk? Police for me, but not for thee? We thought she didn't like the police and wanted them defunded. Seems she does, but just for the poorest communities.
It's kind of like her mansions in Los Angeles, actually, well away from the hoi polloi of mere voters in her congressional district, which is one of Los Angeles's poorest. Hypocrisy has always come easy for Maxine.
It gets worse when one looks at the content of some her remarks.
A trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is going on, and instead of letting the trial take its course and not attempting to tamper with the jury as it makes its decision based on the facts of the case, Waters is telling the jury how they'd better vote:

Which is classic jury-tampering, raising the possibility that Chauvin's case is headed for a mistrial. Instead of allowing the courts to do their business and let the chips fall where they may, Waters is demanding a "guilty" verdict and vows that if there isn't one, then the protests and riots are to continue. She's still all in for "getting in their faces" as she's said in an earlier context.
Her tour of the riot scene is nothing but a bid to race-bait, jury tamper, and foment unrest in the name of keeping the racial grievance-mongering going. She's like a Sandalista, flying great distances in search of 'revolution,' while maintaining the safe haven of a wealthy home she can always fly back to after the damage is done. Laced with the hypocrisy of her own bodyguards, and the downright unethical, maybe illegal, bid to threaten a jury, it's nothing short of contemptible.
She was generally surrounded by an adoring press, which permitted her to carry through her 'narrative' denouncing conservatives and Republicans as Capitol rioters, but somehow, among this friendly crowd, with only the voice of a woman who was literally squawking 'move! move!' as Waters babbled, it didn't seem though bodyguards were all that critically needed. She also had a double-mask on, which is probably appropriate for someone of her advanced age, but she wasn't socially distancing.
WATCH — Maxine Waters: Derek Chauvin Must Be ‘Guilty, Guilty, Guilty’ or We Take to the Streets
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) joined demonstrators Saturday evening outside the police station in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, and told Americans to take to the streets unless Derek Chauvin is convicted for murder in the death of George Floyd.
Waters joined protesters who are angry over the shooting of Daunte Wright, 20, as he fled arrest after a traffic stop earlier this month. Officers discovered that there was a warrant for Wright’s arrest over accusations of attempted aggravated robbery and a gun violation. Police officer Kim Potter threatened to use her Taser against Wright, but shot him instead; he later died.
The incident was followed by protests and riots, just as the Chauvin trial was taking place several miles away.
“We’re looking for a guilty verdict,” Waters said. “And we’re looking to see if all of the talk that took place and has been taking place after they saw what happened to George Floyd, if nothing does not happen, then we know that we’ve got to not only stay in the street, but we’ve got to fight for justice,” she said.
Chauvin, a former Minneapolis Department Oficer, faces three charges: second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.
But a conviction for manslaughter would not be enough, Waters said. The guilty verdict had to be for murder — which, she added, ought to have been first-degree murder.

Waters said that Democrats would pass a police reform bill over the objections of “the right wing, the racists.” She had harsh words for Republicans, whom she blamed for the Capitol riot on January 6:
The Chauvin trial will conclude with closing arguments and jury instructions on Monday.
