Which brings us back to the bizarre use of cash from the Cullors-led and founded Black Lives Matter. Cullors has been accused already of living high on the hog off her BLM earnings -- buying mansions as far as the Bahamas, and taking time off at a tony Malibu resort. Her defenders say she did earn the cash, given the size of her organization, the comparable salaries of other leftist NGO honchos, her book deals, and her assorted Hollywood game playings -- which touched off a controversy with the Golden Globes, who had a member who appeared to be jealous of her lucrative maneuverings. Maybe so.
So where'd all that BLM corporate cash go? Start with a babydaddy of very little talent...
Black Lives Matter, which has taken in $90 million in largely big corporate contributions, yet has been blasted by Breonna Taylor's mother as a "fraud" for doing nothing for her except raise money off her daughter's death, does indeed have some way of spending all those sitting corporate millions.
On incompetence, overpayments, and cronyism, according to an investigative report from the Daily Caller News Foundation:
Black Lives Matter PAC, which was founded and led by activist Patrisse Cullors, paid an art company run by the father of her only child nearly $150,000 to co-produce live election coverage, campaign and social media records show. Industry experts said it should have cost a fraction of that price.
The three-hour live stream, which ran on Cullors’ personal YouTube channel on election night in November, was mired with audio and technical issues for much of the production. The stream, which remains online but is currently unlisted on Cullors’ YouTube channel, received just over 3,200 views as of Wednesday despite coverage by the Los Angeles Times.
The owners of two video production companies that have been in business for a combined six decades lampooned the quality of the live stream and said it should have cost no more than $55,000 to competently produce such an event.
What they got was bottom-tier. Amateur hour. The report goes into details from experts in the field, describing lost sound, flickering sound, bad lighting, bad camera filtering, green skin, granny-at-the-controls ZOOM incompetence, a five-minute sound blackout, crossed cables, bad camera angles, a flat set, distorted sound -- the whole description of what went wrong coming from video pros was hilarious. The $148,300 spent drew for BLM all of 3,200 viewers and is not listed on any of Cullors's YouTube channels.
Yet they paid three times retail for this Trap Heals production, clearly to someone who doesn't know how to produce professional livestream video beyond a flunkeroo student level.
Which it turns out, seems to be produced by one Damon J. Turner, a man of apparently zero education ("life university" he says), who served as lesbian BLM leader and "trained Marxist" Patrisse Cullors's babydaddy servicer, the father of her son. He's the leader of this operation.
Worse still, apparently Cullors is listed as the co-chair of Trap Heals, which produced the disaster, which points to self-dealing. According to a legal source quoted by the Caller:
“Besides paying Trap Heals almost $150,000 to produce an unprofessional video that high school students would be embarrassed to produce, the excessive payments by Cullors to Trap Heals that she co-chairs with the father of her child raises serious questions whether political contributions to BLM PAC were not only misspent but also enriched her personally,” said Paul Kamenar, counsel to the conservative watchdog group National Legal and Policy Center.
Anybody at BLM ask him for a refund? If so, haven't heard about it.
The entity that paid for all that incompetence was the BLM PAC, which is one of three arms of the mothership Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, according to the Black Lives Matter official website.
Turner, meanwhile, who got the cash for his Trap Heals production company, says he's an "artist."
Here's an example of Turner's musical "talent," linked on his website -- a wall of squalling, yelling, and profanity, with the n-word, the sh-word, the f-word and other usual old language of the genre dominant. Must be heard to be believed.
I'd rather listen to a bobcat screaming.
It drew all of two "likes" on YouTube.
Not exactly an "influencer" it appears. But Turner sure knows how to draw cash from someplace.
Which has created some weird scenarios.
Here's a prim academic-sounding analysis from assorted beautiful-people Los Angeles entertainment industry hipsters with professional makeup, all but one of them white, Latino, or Asian, one with a plummy Masterpiece Theatre-style British accent, with a group called GoodTrouble, which seems to be some kind of television production, describing the significance of something called "trap" music in the most gushy flattering of terms despite its wretched content, and creating a plug for Trap Heals "that harnesses trap music" blah blah blah for some kind of claimed good. They argue that this inchoate gibbering is actually misunderstood yet important, and they sound for all the world like the flatterers of the emporer and his new clothes:
In light of what we so far see, one wonders if maybe they like him for his money, because it sure as heck can't be his music or tech prowess.
Here's another thing about Trap Heals that raises a red flag. As someone with a tiny amount of training in web design and coding, Trap Heals, apparently can't even do a technically proficient website for itself, either.
Look at its site! Links don't work or are not there at all, email requests in dark fonts are buried in dark colors rendering them nearly invisible, Jumbotron photos are oversized and don't fit properly, navigation on the home page is absent, navigation elsewhere is chaotic, the site is not entirely responsive, and what's with the gargantuan doobie taking up the entire space on the 'about' page? There was so much wrong I checked the Google developer tools to see who did it ... and it was not clear, nobody signed it. I saw a slew of "devtools failed to load" code, about 11 of them, and a host of blown-out CSS, including the fonts, all of which is put there to style the page, plus a rather outdated use of 'div' used in assembling the code.
Trap Heals couldn't get someone to learn to code, or just spring for a professional web designer? It's weird.
Compare and contrast with the Black Lives Matter website, which most certainly did hire a pro -- that's an ace website technically speaking, with an elegant design, good use of color, responsiveness, consistent styling, strong logo, links that work, UX/UI user-friendliness, good navigation, economy of loading, image optimization, etc.
Apparently, they don't know what they are doing at all over at Trap Heals and haven't been hooked up with the BLM web designer who knows how to do this.
Which brings us back to the bizarre use of cash from the Cullors-led and founded Black Lives Matter. Cullors has been accused already of living high on the hog off her BLM earnings -- buying mansions as far as the Bahamas, and taking time off at a tony Malibu resort. Her defenders say she did earn the cash, given the size of her organization, the comparable salaries of other leftist NGO honchos, her book deals, and her assorted Hollywood game playings -- which touched off a controversy with the Golden Globes, who had a member who appeared to be jealous of her lucrative maneuverings. Maybe so.
But the cash to this incompetent seems to be more like a clearer case of apparent self-dealing, given the obvious overpayment and personal relationship.
Could it have been the only instance, or could it have been part of a pattern? Seems the lawsuit the legal activist group is threatening to force the group to open its books and make itself accountable might just be a good idea.

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren's husband arrested on drug and weapons charges, officials say
New York state police raided the home of Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren on Wednesday, and her husband was later arrested on drugs and weapons charges, officials said.
Timothy Granison, Warren's 42-year-old husband, appeared Thursday via video in Rochester City Court from the Monroe County jail, where he spent the night.
BREAKING UPDATE: Prosecutors says Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren’s husband, Timothy Granison was involved in a drug ring in Rochester. Here’s a clip from his arraignment. @news10nbc @sandra_doorley @nyspolice pic.twitter.com/695wnwfwcC
— Nikki Rudd (@whec_nrudd) May 20, 2021
He pleaded not guilty to charges of illegal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of a controlled substance and possession with intent to sell. He was released without bail and his next court date was set for June 21.
The raid was part of a seven-month-long, local drug probe that didn't originally target Granison, officials said. But once the mayor's husband got on the police radar three months ago, Rochester authorities looped in state police.
"Once we learned that he was becoming a potential target, I determined, along with my staff, that in order to preserve the integrity of the investigation, that we bring in the New York State Police," Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley told reporters on Thursday.
Seven people were arrested and two kilos of crack and powder cocaine seized, officials said.
"That's significant, especially for this community, " said Doorley, who declined to disclose where the drugs were seized from during raids of seven different homes on Wednesday.
The probe also involved wire taps and authorities declined to say if the mayor was captured in the confidential recordings.
Police said they want to interview Warren, but haven't immediately heard back from her.
Asked point-blank if Mayor Warren is not a target of the on-going probe, Doorley said: "I'm not saying that, I'm not commenting at this point."
Police also seized four weapons, a semi-automatic rifle and three handguns, and $100,000 cash in the raids on Wednesday. The rifle and one of the handguns were taken from Warren's home, police said.
"The handgun was unregistered, yes. The rifle has issues separate from that," state police Maj. Barry Chase said.
Warren was not home when police searched her home.
The police action took Warren by surprise and she didn't immediately know what investigators could have been looking for, according to city spokesman Justin Roj.
"The mayor is just learning about the events that unfolded this afternoon and has no more information than the rest of the community," Roj said in a statement on Wednesday. "She hopes to learn more details this evening and will have a statement tomorrow.”
Roj could not be immediately reached for comment on Thursday.
Rochester is New York state's third-largest city, with more than 200,000 residents along the southern shore of Lake Ontario.

Suspect Arrested, Charged With Hate Crime for Punching, Biting Asian Man's Finger in Manhattan
A man suspected of biting and severing a man's fingertip in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood in Manhattan has been identified and arrested by the NYPD on Thursday morning.
The arrest: Lloyd Revell, 38, was arrested on Thursday morning for allegedly punching an Asian man multiple times and biting his hand.
Revell was arrested at a Hell's Kitchen hotel and charged with assault as a hate crime, according to NBC News.
The address that Revell gave to police is a hotel near the scene of the crime that was used as a homeless shelter during the pandemic, reported AP News.
There is no confirmation on whether or not he has a lawyer.
The attack: An unnamed 48-year-old Asian man was randomly attacked at Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan on May 18.
He was punched several times and had his hand bitten by Revell. He was taken to a nearby hospital and treated for cuts on his forehead, a swollen eye and a severed fingertip.
Police said that the victim was told to "go back to his country."

Pressley Postpones Financial Disclosure Amid Questions About Real Estate Dealings
'Cancel rent' champion earned thousands as landlord
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.) postponed filing her 2020 financial disclosure as the liberal congresswoman faced questions about whether she made money as a landlord during the coronavirus pandemic.
Pressley moved to extend her filing deadline by 90 days on April 26, just one week after the Washington Free Beacon reported that she collected up to $15,000 in rental income during a four-month period in 2019. Pressley has championed rent cancellation bills throughout the pandemic, calling such legislation "literally a matter of life and death."
Months into the pandemic, Pressley and her husband refinanced their Boston building as a multifamily investment property, local records show. The arrangement requires the couple to maintain rent loss insurance. Pressley's disclosure—which was originally due on May 15—would have shown any rental income the "Squad" member earned in 2020. The Democrat has until Aug. 13 to report her income for the year.
Pressley did not return a request for comment. She has ignored repeated requests for comment on her rental property from multiple outlets—including the Boston Herald—since the Free Beacon‘s original report.
Pressley and her husband purchased their two-unit building for $658,000 in April 2019, according to property records. The couple then posted one of the two units for a monthly rent of $2,500 in June 2019. The posting was removed in August.
If Pressley did waive rent during the pandemic, she could recoup the forfeited earnings through the Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act. The legislation, which Pressley cosponsored in both 2020 and 2021, would create a "landlord relief fund" to reimburse landlords for lost rent due to the virus.
The Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act specifically prioritizes landlords with "the fewest available amount of assets," thus prioritizing minor lessors such as Pressley over large real estate firms. The Democrat promoted the bill in March by arguing that rental payments force Americans to "choose between putting food on the table and keeping a roof over their head."
"With the economic impact of this pandemic worsening and the threat of eviction and homelessness looming large for families nationwide," Pressley said, "we must take every measure possible to keep families safely housed, forgive all rental debt, and ensure that the credit scores of hard-hit families are not forever tarnished."
NYPD Looking For Attacker Who Repeatedly Punched and Bit Asian Man's Fingers
A 48-year-old man of Asian descent was allegedly punched multiple times and bitten on the hand by a shirtless attacker at a sidewalk in Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan on Tuesday morning.
Unprovoked attack: The unnamed victim was walking along West 43rd Street and 11th Avenue when an unknown assailant approached him and started punching him repeatedly, reported WABC.
The attacker then allegedly yelled, "Go back to China," and bit two fingers of the victim's left hand before fleeing.
The tip of the victim's middle finger was severed during the attack. He was brought to Roosevelt Hospital for treatment and is now in stable condition.
In a statement, Gov. Andrew Cuomo condemned the violent attack, which he says a part of “an alarming, disgusting pattern.”
“As New Yorkers, we are forever proud of our diversity, and we reject any cowardly attempts to divide us,” he said. “Justice needs to be done, and I am directing the New York State Police Hate Crimes Task Force to offer their assistance in the investigation of this attack."
Ongoing investigation: The NYPD Hates Crimes Task Force, which is now looking for “a suspect wearing white and black sneakers, with no shirt, carrying a sweatshirt,” released a video of the alleged suspect on Twitter.
⚠️INFO NEEDED-May18th, 09:50 AM, at W. 43rd St. and 11th Ave, a male Asian, 48, was repeatedly punched in the face by a male who said "go back to your country" and also bit two of the victim's fingers causing the tip of one to be severed.☎️1-800-577-8477 @NYPDDetectives @NYPDMTN pic.twitter.com/oPDAMYRiPu

The incident -- the area’s third anti-Asian attack in two months -- occurred not far from where a 31-year-old Asian woman was hit with a hammer earlier this month and where an Asian woman was brutally stomped on her head back in March.
The NYPD urges anyone with relevant information to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

Suspect in Iowa girl's murder had been paroled weeks earlier
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa granted an early release from prison to a repeat offender just months before he allegedly kidnapped and killed a 10-year-old girl, according to parole documents released Tuesday.
The Iowa Board of Parole granted Henry Dinkins parole from a Davenport minimum-security residential facility in March 2020, determining he was “able and willing to fulfill the obligations of a law abiding citizen.”
“There is a reasonable probability that you can be released without detriment to the community or yourself," according to the parole order signed by the board's chair, Helen Miller, that The Associated Press obtained under the open records law.
Less than four months after his parole, Dinkins, a registered sex offender with a history of violent and reckless behavior, allegedly kidnapped Breasia Terrell from a Davenport apartment complex, shot her to death and hid her body in rural eastern Iowa.
At the time he was granted parole, Dinkins, 48, was awaiting trial on felony charges in Illinois of possession of methamphetamine and amphetamine with intent to deliver stemming from an April 2019 traffic stop. It’s unclear whether Iowa authorities took that into consideration.
Breasia was the half sister of Dinkins’ son, and investigators say both children were staying the night with him at an apartment where he was living with a girlfriend. The girl's July disappearance prompted a monthslong search that ended in March when two people fishing near DeWitt discovered her remains in a pond.
Dinkins is charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping, each of which carry a possible life term. A public defender representing him didn’t immediately return a phone message seeking comment. Dinkins is set to be arraigned next month.
Iowa Board of Parole records detail Dinkins’ criminal history and some leniency he received along the way, even as he committed crime after crime.
He had been in and out of prison and correctional programs since 1990, when he was convicted of third-degree sexual abuse of a child when he was 17 and required to register as a sex offender. He’d been arrested and cited dozens of times, on charges that include violating sex offender registry requirements, assault while displaying a dangerous weapon, domestic violence, drug possession, theft and eluding. A 2009 murder charge was dropped after police said he was a witness, not the killer.
His most recent return to prison stemmed from a March 2019 arrest, in which he was allegedly high on crack and crashed into a Davenport yard while trying to flee from police. It was at least his fifth arrest for operating while intoxicated since 2007. In 2014, officers used a stun gun and pepper spray to subdue him after he crashed his car while on cocaine. In 2011, he allegedly caused an accident involving multiple semi-trailers and cars when he drove the wrong way on Interstate 80 while intoxicated. In another incident that year, he drove 90 mph (145 kph) while high through a residential area where children were playing, with his SUV's engine later exploding.
Days after the March 2019 OWI, he was arrested while allegedly in possession of more than 900 grams of meth and 200 grams of amphetamine in Bureau County, Illinois. He was released from jail after posting a $100,000 bond.
Judge Joel Barrows sentenced Dinkins to up to five years in prison in October 2019 for the OWI and barred him from driving for six years. Records show Dinkins served 60 days before he was transferred to the minimum-security Davenport Residential Facility.
There, he completed a four-month substance abuse treatment program and “secured fulltime employment,” records show. A probation officer recommended he be released by April 6, 2020, then moved up his release date to March 19. Miller approved both requests, ending a sentence that had been projected to last until January 2022.
Waylyn McCulloh, director of the 7th Judicial District Department of Correctional Services in Davenport, said the handling of his sentence was “standard process” for repeat OWI offenders and that the coronavirus pandemic didn't appear to have an impact on the release decision. But he said the case was complicated by the Illinois charges, which have not yet been resolved.
Records show Dinkins appeared in an Illinois courtroom on July 8, 2020, for a conference ahead of a July 27 trial date. Breasia disappeared two days later.
“It’s a horrible situation and a horrific crime,” McCulloh said. “But of course we have to keep in mind that he has yet to be convicted.”
Canton police: Toddler beaten and killed, parents charged with murder
CANTON – A woman with a history of mental disabilities was standing naked in the street when police arrived at her home Monday.
She told them her baby was dead, according to Police Chief Jack Angelo.
Officers searched the house, found the 18-month-old boy and rushed him to Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital.
Now the parents have been arrested and charged with murder.
More about Canton police:Canton police detective serves as mental health liaison between patient, care
Mary T. Guarendi, 26, and Kevin L. Walker, 29, who live together in the 1900 block of Maple Avenue NE, were taken into custody at their home, according to Stark County Jail records.
She was jailed on a murder charge; he was jailed on a felony obstructing justice charge, police said. The charge against Walker was later upgraded to murder.
Bystanders call 911 call to report naked woman walking Canton streets
Angelo said officers were called out at 4:58 p.m.
A woman called 911 to report seeing a naked woman walking up and down Maple and then heading toward U.S. Route 62.
"It's scary. She's probably mental and needs help, you know?" the caller said.
Another woman from Canton City Schools transportation department said her driver reported seeing someone "standing on the sidewalk out there completely naked. You now, and I'm only calling because we have a busload of kids out in that area."
Guarendi, who has a history of mental illness, told arriving officers her son had been murdered, according to police.
"Officers rushed to the address and made entry through an unlocked window and discovered a small child beneath several large pieces of furniture," according to a police department news release. "The child was unconscious with apparent severe head and body trauma."
Two officers took the child to the hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead at 5:41 p.m., the chief said.
What happened inside Mary T. Guarendi's home?
Detectives allege the toddler's death is the result of a domestic dispute during which Guarendi is accused of assaulting her child "with several pieces of household furniture."
Angelo said the child appeared to have suffered "blunt force trauma," but that the Stark County Coroner's Office would be ruling on his cause of death
Jail records allege Walker was trying to conceal the homicide by initially telling arriving officers that the child was asleep inside the house, knowing that he was already dead and that his girlfriend was missing.
Detectives continued to investigate Tuesday as the couple remained behind bars.
Guarendi was held without bond and Walker was held in lieu of $25,000 bond, both pending Canton Municipal Court hearings.
Previous domestic dispute reported
Police said they had been called to the couple's home Jan. 25 in response to a domestic dispute.
Stark County Court records allege Walker attacked Guarendi with multiple household items, striking her. Initially charged with misdemeanor domestic violence, he was convicted in March of a reduced charge of disorderly conduct. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail with all but the three he'd already served suspended. He was also ordered into an anger management program.
Guarendi had been declared "incompetent" in Stark County Probate Court in 2014 because of "mental disabilities."
Her adoptive father Dr. Ray Guarendi filed paperwork in court at the time as he sought guardianship noting that she was "incapable of taking proper care of herself."
He is a clinical psychologist and host of the radio program "The Doctor Is In" on ETWN. He declined to comment Tuesday for this story.
In February 2015, he relinquished his guardianship, writing in court documents that "... I have been progressively unable to influence Mary to act in her best wishes" and that she had become "increasingly hostile to our efforts."

A 17-month-old child likely died in minutes due to injuries he suffered while in the care of his mother’s boyfriend, Indiana police say.
The boyfriend, 27-year-old Shaquille Rowe, was charged with battery of a minor causing death and neglect of a dependent resulting in death, court records show. The boy was identified by the Allen County coroner as Aiden Mishawn Clark.
According to court records obtained by WPTA, Rowe told police his girlfriend left him at a Fort Wayne home with her twin children. At one point after she left, Rowe said he was showering when he heard one of the children crying, court records show.
Aiden was wheezing and not breathing properly while he was lying on the ground, so Rowe says he called 911 and attempted CPR, according to an affidavit.
“Why did she leave me in the house like this?” Rowe said on the 911 call, according to WANE.
Rowe was giving the child CPR when first responders arrived, and the boy was taken to a hospital by ambulance, according to the affidavit. Aiden was pronounced dead at the hospital.
First responders found bruising to Aiden’s neck and chest that they believed was indicative of “some type of abuse,” police said, according to WANE. That was confirmed in an autopsy performed Tuesday.
The coroner ruled Aiden died from blunt force injuries to the chest, calling the death a homicide.
Aiden suffered a fractured sternum and his heart “was ripped in half,” according to the affidavit. He also suffered a “massive amount” of blood loss to his spleen, kidney and pancreas, WANE reported from court documents.
Aiden likely died within two to five minutes of suffering his injuries, according to court records.
The boy’s mother declined to speak with police, only saying that she left the twins alone with Rowe around two hours before he called 911.
Rowe met his bail Wednesday and is due in court next Monday, WPTA reported. Homicide charges have not been filed.
Panel to advise if Georgia sheriff should be suspended
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's governor on Wednesday appointed a panel to determine whether a sheriff accused of violating the civil rights of several people in his custody should be suspended pending the outcome of federal charges.
A federal grand jury last month indicted Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill. The indictment accuses the sheriff of repeatedly ordering detainees to be put in a restraint chair for hours even though they posed no threat and had complied with deputies. The indictment alleges the restraint chairs were improperly used as punishment.
Hill has said the prosecution is politically motivated.
One of his lawyers, Drew Findling, has called the case against Hill “nonsensical” but said Wednesday that since the panel is provided for by law, his client doesn't see its appointment negatively.
A federal magistrate judge authorized Hill's release on bond.
Georgia law allows the governor to convene a review commission made up of two sheriffs and the state attorney general to investigate and recommend whether a sheriff facing criminal or ethics charges should be suspended pending the outcome.
In an executive order Wednesday, Gov. Brian Kemp appointed Attorney General Chris Carr, Burke County Sheriff Alfonzo Williams and Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds to determine whether the indictment affects Hill's duties in such a way that it could have an adverse effect on the public.
The panel is to report back to Kemp within 14 days.
Findling said he's confident that the review commission “will recognize the indictment is an overreach by the federal government to interfere with a duly elected sheriff devoted to maintaining security at the Clayton County jail.”
Restraint chairs are used at jails throughout the country, and all health and safety procedures were complied with in its use at the Clayton County jail, Findling said.
"At the end, we are confident that Gov. Kemp, who has demonstrated that he will not be dictated to by the federal government and has committed himself to combatting violent crime, will not suspend Sheriff Victor Hill, who is well documented as one of Georgia’s most devoted anti-crime law enforcement officers,” he said.
The Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, which certifies law enforcement officers in Georgia, has opened an investigation, which it does whenever an officer faces criminal charges, executive director Mike Ayers said.
