“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation (TWO GAMER LAWYERS) (WHAT ABOUT THE BIDEN PENN CENTER?) and the Obama (TWO GAMER LAWYERS) book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family (THREE GAMER LAWYERS) corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren (GAMER LAWYER) and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption (ADD GAMER LAWYER KAMALA HARRIS AND HER LAWYER HUSBAND AND THE BANKSTERS’ RENT BOY, LAWYER CHUCK SCHUMER).

Biden positions, after doing nothing, save for the end, at best, to help Biden's presidential campaign, suggesting that the hollow-victory Biden administration is just a placeholder for the return of an Obama third term. It's a sign that Obama éminence grise is more than a little active, behind the scenes as she always is.
“Obama’s new home in Washington has been described as the “nerve center” of the anti-Trump opposition. Former attorney general Eric Holder has said that Obama is “ready to roll” and has aligned himself with the “resistance.” Former high-level Obama campaign staffers now work with a variety of groups organizing direct action against Trump’s initiatives. “Resistance School,” for example, features lectures by former campaign executive Sara El-Amine, author of the Obama Organizing.”

Obama lets the cat out of the bag: He's got plans to make Joe Biden his stooge

Joe Biden, who couldn't even get President Obama's endorsement during the primaries, now has word that Obama may well use him as his marionette stooge for what's in fact a third Obama term.
He's not even trying to hide it.

Obamanomics: How Barack Obama Is Bankrupting You and Enriching His Wall Street Friends, Corporate Lobbyists, and Union Bosses
“Of course, one of the main reasons the nation is now “divided, resentful and angry” is because race-baiting, Islamist, class warrior Barack Hussein Obama was president for eight long years." MATTHEW VADUM
Biden's Right: His Word Means Nothing
Installed (p)Resident Joe Biden loves to make promises secured by the supposed worth of his family name. "I give you my word as a Biden," he said back in March of 2020, "When I'm president, I will lead with science, listen to the experts and heed their advice, and always tell you the truth." Again giving his solemn word before the 2020 mail-in ballot presidential selection, he promised both "to turn division into unity and bring us together," as well as to "be an ally of the light, not the darkness." Just over a week ago, he declared, "My word as a Biden: I've never been more optimistic about America's future than I am today." My goodness, if only Biden's family name possessed more value than that of Benedict Arnold's, we would be blessed with a man in the White House committed to truth, unity, spiritual guidance, and American success. Yet Biden's name is synonymous with none of those things, is it?
Instead, the Biden family name has really stood for only two things: buffoonery and corruption. For fifty years, Joe Biden has managed to hold onto some slice of power in D.C. as a senator, vice president, and Oval Office stooge not because he is renowned for his erudition or virtue but rather because his doltish behavior and venal character make him ideal for others to control. Perhaps no other Washington relic has accomplished so little for the American people over such a prolonged government career or managed to harness those defects for lucrative advancement more successfully than China Joe.
He is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, a Catholic-in-name-only, and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes. In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze.
Perhaps when America's Scumbucket-in-Chief gives his "word as a Biden," he is depending upon the solid reputations of notable relatives. Alas, no. His brother James has been repeatedly implicated in allegations of fraud and quid-pro-quo financial schemes leveraging Joe's political office as a means to advance the Biden family's interests and wealth. His daughter Ashley struggles with sex and drug addictions, problems she has attributed in part to her memories of taking showers with her dad at a young age (no wonder Creepy Joe excuses pedophilia and transgender madness so effortlessly). And then there is the "smartest guy" Joe claims to know — his son Hunter — whose illegal drug use; sexual debauchery with prostitutes, employees, and relatives alike; gun crimes; occupation as an undeclared foreign agent; and serially-excused role as the family's point man for turning the powers of Joe's political office into seedy profit are all well known to the American people (even if habitually ignored by the corrupt Department of [in]Justice). In any other family concerned about its reputation for probity and honor, Hunter Biden would have been cast off as some sort of uncontrollable "black sheep." In the Biden herd, though, Hunter blends right in with his unseemly, scuzzy kin. The Biden pedigree is made from rotten stuff — more like a pustule than a bloodline and filled with dreck, mediocrity, selfishness, pusillanimity, and unrepentant sin.
When you stop to consider how shockingly meaningless Joe's "word as a Biden" schtick really is, it actually becomes tempting to consider whether the old, fatuous fraud is ironically — and just this once — telling the American people the truth! Perhaps when he says, "I give you my word as a Biden," he is really saying: "I give you my word as an incestuous pervert who cannot learn to keep my hands off little girls or keep from sniffing and grabbing women against their will; as a shameless liar who distorts everything, including the circumstances of my own wife and daughter's tragic deaths, when those lies induce public sympathy or are otherwise advantageous; as a plagiarist with no original thoughts or accomplishments of my own; as a lifelong racist who has had many friendships with segregationists and race hustlers while lying about having been active in the civil rights movement; as a corrupt politician who has ties to the mob and whose family has profited generously from my public office; and as a traitor to the United States who has repeatedly sold out my country for the benefit of foreign interests in Ukraine, China, and anywhere else I can make a buck."
I guess when you see how long it would take to vomit forth that mouthful of insidious nastiness, using the shorthand, "I give you my word as a Biden," just means that whatever is said next is almost certainly untrue.
Seen from that perspective, Biden's time as installed president makes a lot more sense. When he promised to unite the country by ridding it of petty divisions, what he really meant was that he planned to exacerbate racial animosities to the best of his abilities, rub salt in old wounds to ensure intolerance festers and anguish lingers, and incite hatred among groups of Americans who would otherwise get along. When he promised to "bring us together," he meant that he would promote propaganda reframing the J6 protest for fair elections as an "insurrection" seeking to topple the government and use that laughably fraudulent pretense as an excuse to persecute and imprison his political enemies. When he promised to be "an ally of the light, not the darkness," he meant that he would threaten concerned parents with criminal prosecution should they resist the government's program of sexualizing childhood, encouraging bodily mutilation, brainwashing innocents with "transgender" delusions, and promoting abortion-on-demand.
When he promised to "lead with science," he meant that he would use the unscrutinized declarations of unelected government health bureaucrats with secret political agendas as a sword and shield for imposing a dictatorship of unconstitutional mandates, censorship, ephemeral freedoms, and unjust orders contrary to established law. When he promised to "listen to the experts and heed their advice," he meant that he would further empower an already-out-of-control Deep State to police Americans' thoughts and words for alleged "misinformation" and "hate"; expand the national security surveillance State to spy on Americans' every move; and target for criminal punishment those who nonetheless insist on engaging in "wrongthink." When he promised to "always tell you the truth," he meant that his administration would construct "politically correct" falsehoods, propagate those falsehoods through a willingly compliant and compromised State-aligned news media, vilify dissent as harmful "disinformation," and characterize contrary viewpoints as mere "conspiracy theories."
Finally, when Biden recently claimed that he has "never been more optimistic about America's future," what he meant is that he has given China permission to send spy balloons loaded with explosives across the continent; criminal cartels permission to flood America with illegal aliens; the pharmaceutical companies permission to reap windfall profits from harmful, untested, yet government-mandated products; the World Health Organization and United Nations permission to usurp U.S. sovereignty; the Federal Reserve permission to print money on our way to economic Armageddon; and the World Economic Forum permission to usher in a "great reset" of centralized control and loss of individual liberty. Surely all that carnage is worth a relatively small finder's fee of 10%.
When Commie Joe's statements are viewed in their proper context, he is just a presidential truth-teller. Really. After all, he gives us his word as a Biden!
A lot of major Democrat donors have a couple things in common
Besides being major contributors to Democrats over the years, what else do the following people have in common?
- Alex Murdaugh
- Bernie Madoff
- George Soros
- Jeffrey Epstein
- Samuel Bankman Fried
- Mark Zuckerberg
- Marc Rich
They were all involved with serious crimes.
Besides committing murder, Murdaugh, was a serial thief. Why hasn’t the media demanded that Hillary, Biden, and others send back their contributions in order to help pay the victims?
Alex Murdaugh’s Political Contributions Include Maximum Donations to Joe Biden,
Hillary Clinton
Bernie Madoff was a career criminal who stole billions and some of that money went to politicians who were mostly Democrats. I don’t believe the politicians gave the money to a victim’s fund.
Madoff and Company Spent Nearly $1 Million on Washington Influence
Madoff made a fortune, and he played politics with some of that money. In total, he and his wife, Ruth, have given $238,200 to federal candidates, parties and committees since 1991, with Democrats getting 88 percent of that. Overall, Madoff and other individuals at his company, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, gave $372,100 in campaign contributions since 1991, with 89 percent to Democrats.
George Soros was convicted of a felony in France and served no time. He spends massive amounts of money on radical leftist causes to remake and destroy America, including supporting radical soft-on-crime prosecutors.
If you look Soros up on the internet, he is described as a businessman and philanthropist instead of a radical, leftist felon. There is nothing philanthropic about seeking to destroy America including by destroying cities with prosecutors who let dangerous career criminals roam the streets.
Soros Is Found Guilty in France On Charges of Insider Trading
Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of abusing and using young girls. In a world with journalists, Hollywood, and Democrats who care, they would be looking hard for other culprits who enjoyed Epstein’s activities, but there seems to be little interest in learning the names and activities of powerful men. They have as much interest as they did in all the women the Clintons physically and mentally abused.
The Me-Too movement was fake.
Billionaire sex offender Epstein gave heavily to Democrats, until he didn’t
Jimmy Kimmel even made fun of Aaron Rodgers for wanting to know who Jeff Epstein associated with. That shows how little Kimmel cares about abused women and their accusers.
Besides stealing billions, Bankman Fried made tens of millions in illegal campaign contributions. Why hasn’t that money been paid into a victims’ fund?
Bankman-Fried charged with hundreds of illegal campaign donations
The FTX co-founder is accused of "flooding the political system with tens of millions of dollars in illegal contributions," according to a new indictment.
In 2016, the media complained that Russia interfered in the election by spending hundreds of thousands on social media outlets.
Yet they didn’t care when Mark Zuckerberg spent hundreds of millions in 2020 to interfere in elections while committing fraud. Instead of caring about the fraud, they falsely accuse anyone who questioned the 2020 election of being a liar and denier. The liars and deniers are people who knew about the fraud and other questionable things and tell the public that the election was clean.
Most of the media has sought to destroy Fox News as unreliable for a long time and now they are attacking them because some people on Fox questioned the 2020 election.
When will WaPo, NYT, USA Today, CNN, PBS, NPR, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, etc. come clean about their intentional lies on Russian collusion, Hunter’s laptop, COVID, and by falsely saying the 2020 election was completely clean? The answer is never because truth and objectivity haven’t mattered for a long time, only power for leftists
Election report finds Facebook mogul’s ‘Zuck Bucks’ broke law, swayed election outcome in Wisconsin
A 2020 election integrity probe in Wisconsin reported findings Tuesday that a nonprofit group funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg committed election bribery when it targeted $8.8 million in get-out-the-vote funds to five heavily Democratic jurisdictions.
Marc Rich was on the most wanted list for a long time but all he had to do to be above the law was donate to the Clintons.
Clinton pardon of Rich a saga of power, money
President Clinton's pardon of Marc Rich is a saga of secrecy, tenacity, sleight of hand and pressure from Rich's ex-wife and one of her friends, who together have steered millions of dollars to Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton's causes and those of fellow Democrats.
The saga began in the fall of 1999. Rich was No. 6 on the government's list of most wanted fugitives. He had been on the lam, albeit a posh one, for 16 years, ever since his 1983 indictment by a grand jury on more than 50 counts of wire fraud, racketeering, trading with the enemy and evading more than $48 million in income taxes.
The government accused him of conspiring with Iran in 1980 to purchase over 6 million barrels of oil, in violation of a trade embargo imposed by the United States because Iran was holding 52 Americans hostage in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Payments for the oil, federal agents said, were made fraudulently through American banks and by the illegal use of American telecommunications facilities.
Eric Holder helped facilitate the pardon, and the media once pretended to care.
The media complains that there is too much money in politics, so why do they raise prices during high demand election periods? Isn’t that gouging?
Joe Biden and other Democrats say they care about equity, equality and fairness, so why don’t they take their advantage in campaign funds and equalize the balance in their opponents’ accounts to achieve equity? Shouldn’t they pay reparations to all their opponents who have lost because they were underfunded?
Conclusion: The media and other Democrats don’t really care about any of the following:
- Too much money in politics
- Where the donations come from
- Paying back victims of crime.
- Soft on crime prosecutors
- Equity
- Equality
- Fairness.
They care only about power.
On a side note: Why do so many people posing as reporters have so much interest in an ethics investigation of Santos and so little in an ethics investigation of AOC? The answer is they are Democrats and don't care.

Jesse Watters: The people responsible won’t talk

The main objective of “political animals” like Obama and the Clintons is to get elected; it’s not to fix a broken America, nor to protect her. There are people who govern and there are people who campaign; Obama and the Clintons are the latter. Just look at the huge Republican electoral gains under Obama and the Clintons. It’s amazing that Democrats who still care about their party still support the very people who have brought it down.

Victorious Democrats would also end congressional investigations into the Hillary-Deep State-DNC-Russian-Clinton Foundation collusion and corruption. All the players in these massive, sordid affairs will be deemed “too big to jail” – and too closely tied to the Democratic Party to be investigated further.
Russian Billionaires Did Business with Hunter Biden, Dined with Joe, Dodged Sanctions
Here’s your Russian collusion.
Before Donald Trump was even elected president and throughout the entire period of his administration, the Leftist establishment that is entrenched in Washington officialdom and among the propaganda outlets that are known as the major news organizations inundated us with nonsense about how he had improperly colluded with Russia in order to gain the White House, and was still in Vladimir Putin’s pocket. There was, as is now well-known, nothing whatsoever to it; it was all a hoax designed to discredit Trump and destroy his presidency, although like the Japanese soldiers found hiding in the woods in the 1970s, not knowing that the war was over, there are still some holdouts on the far Left who insist it was all true. And actually it was, but not of Donald Trump. If you want actual Russian collusion, take a look at Old Joe Biden.
The New York Post reported Thursday that “two Russian billionaires who have managed to dodge US sanctions over Moscow’s year-old invasion of Ukraine went property shopping with Hunter Biden, dined with then-Vice President Joe Biden, and discussed ‘favors’ they might swap.” That’s collusion for you, but of course the Washington establishment that went after Trump with such vicious ferocity over nothing whatsoever is entirely indifferent to this fresh evidence that the demented corruptocrat they installed in the White House is as crooked as the day is long. Russian collusion is only of interest to this establishment when it can be used as a political tool; when people on their side do it, it’s entirely beneath notice.
Well, almost entirely. The Biden regime’s Treasury Department did take notice long enough on Friday to spare two Russian pals of Joe and Hunter, Yelena Baturina and Vladimir Yevtushenkov, from “a fresh batch of sanctions.” The UK and Australia have sanctioned Yevtushenkov, but not the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. And with a level of understatement that was positively Hemingwayesque, an anonymous source whom the Post says has “firsthand knowledge of the business relationship between Hunter Biden and Yevtushenkov,” says: “I think it’s very fishy.”
So does Michael McFaul, who is such a right-wing Trumpian ideologue that he served as Barack Obama’s ambassador to Russia. “I think he should be sanctioned,” McFaul said of Yevtushenkov. “I don’t understand why he has not been.”
I do, Mike. It’s really quite simple. Yevtushenkov hasn’t been sanctioned because he had the good judgment to do business with Hunter and Joe Biden. This gives the Russian an all-purpose Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card, as the Washington establishment will do anything it can possibly do to shield the Bidens from the consequences of their corrupt dealings, and to keep the American people from discovering just how crooked the man who pretends to be president really is.
And he is. Yevtushenkov “admitted last year he met with Hunter Biden for breakfast at the Ritz-Carlton in Manhattan on March 14, 2012 — but denied any further contact.” He was, the terminally naïve will be surprised to learn, lying: “emails and calendar entries from Hunter’s former laptop show that they were set to meet again on Jan. 27, 2013, for dinner at DC’s Cafe Milano before looking at a commercial real estate development the next day near Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia.” The Post’s source recounted: that he asked Yevtushenkov why he was meeting with Hunter, and the Russian billionaire replied: “I think it would be good to have a good relationship with this guy … maybe he can do a favor for us and we can do a favor for him.” The source added: “It was a complete quid pro quo that he was going in for.” Collusion and quid pro quo! It looks as if yet again the Left has engaged in the old tactic of accusing the other side of that which they are guilty of doing. The source added: “I told him that’s not the way it works in America, [but] he basically laughed at me and told me I was so naïve.”
Indeed. And wait, there’s more: “A different source, meanwhile, told The Post he vividly recalled Baturina and her husband, ex-Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov, looking ‘like an odd couple’ at a now-infamous, intimate dinner with Hunter and his father, the then-vice president.” Also at the dinner was “Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive at Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which paid Hunter up to $1 million per year beginning in 2014 while his VP dad controlled the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy. Pozharskyi emailed Hunter the next day to thank him for ‘giving an opportunity to meet your father.’”
But Old Joe Biden knows how the game is played. He “called the report a false ‘Russian plant’ at the time and social media platforms Twitter and Facebook initially censored it.” Even now, he will face no political consequences for all this Russian collusion. That’s only for presidents who dare to put America first.

REALITY: KAMALA IS A SOCIOPATH. THAT'S WHY SHE BECAME AN ETHICALLY DEPRAVED LAWYER AND THAT'S WHY JOE BIDEN WANTED HER ON BOARD. SHE'S A CLONE OF JOE!
Kamala Harris's hate-filled childhood
Remember the cackle?
It's been pretty quiet for awhile. Its absence made one think maybe some public relations minion finally got through to Kamala Harris that to make her understand that her cackle was a political disaster, a public relations nightmare, a defining failure, a political death wish. Did she finally learn?
No such luck. The cackle is baaack!
Here's Kamala Harris, speaking before a group in Colorado:
<iframe width="600" height="337" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bnh-au3Ta8s" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
According to the New York Post, she said:
“I grew up learning about — we called it ecology at the time, and so, some of us who were born around that time know what I’m saying — and we talked about it in the context of conservation,” Harris told an audience Monday in Colorado during a discussion on climate policy.
“In fact, I’m going to share with you a very simple story, which is that I went home one day and I said, ‘Well, why are conservatives bad, Mommy? I thought we were supposed to conserve things,’” she added.
“I couldn’t reconcile it. Now I can,” Harris said before bursting into her trademark cackle.
The Post guffawed that the story was likely another made up tale, citing a slew of experts and Kamala watchers, the reaction on social media, and Harris's own history of making up stories about herelf, particularly those "little girl" ones.
But I'm gonna give Harris the benefit of the doubt this time. I suspect that what she's saying is actually true. After all, there was no political gain to be made from the story, and the point of her telling it was rather unclear other than a "between us girls" occasion for a group cackle. The lead in, that she was taught "ecology" rather then greenie environmentalism, was a small and correct detail, as I remember it very well myself, and I too was taught in California at the same time she was. Meanwhile, her question is very much the kind of question a kid might ask, there's nothing strange or precocious about it, nothing far-fetched, nothing self-aggrandizing; I recall trying to reason things out in the same way at that age on matters around the Vietnam War.
But that paints an even more unflattering story about Harris than that of mere new notch on her lipstick case of lies.
Take a look at this line: "Well, why are conservatives bad, Mommy? I thought we were supposed to conserve things."
Was she so steeped in leftwingery in her childhood in Berkeley, California, that she was taught from birth that "conservatives are bad"? What kind of household was she was raised in? Was she taught hate from the cradle? Couldn't conservatives be "wrong" without being utterly bad?
It's so left-wing. It also might explain why she's so unable to grasp what other people think, let alone serve as a "uniter" or bridger of gaps. If she was propagandized from birth to think that "conservatives are bad" how could she ever deal with a conservative in the unlikely event that she met one? Might this explain why there are two sets of laws for Americans in this country, one for the left, one for conservatives? If she was never taught that people exist outside of politics and normal people should not be defined by their politics, how can she ever hope to understand the U.S. or a conservative when she meets one?
Someone should ask her whether she ever learned to get along with conservatives and see them as people of complex character rather than stick figures under the heading of "bad." How did she learn that what she was brainwashed with was garbage and how did she overcome it to be able to function in a society?
It rather explains a lot about her. In her political career, she was always a privileged chosen one, never facing a Republican opponent of consequence in her all-blue state and it rather has handicapped her, making her slow on her feet and absurdly certain in her outlook, unable to change course or adapt to new realities.
She really was taught that "conservatives are bad" when she was kid? Were they the boogie man under her bed? Did she run from them when they appeared on T.V.?

The best-case scenario is that she’s Kamala Harris) a progressive who repeatedly violated her own principles so that she could promote her career. In the worst-case scenario, she’s just another corrupt, rotten, regressive prosecutor.
JESSER HOROWITZ
Joe Biden, the corrupt, unaccomplished 47-year career politician, with a reputation of having been a proud segregationist, an unabashed plagiarist and liar, a resolute tale-teller, and a serial flip-flopper, is pretending to head up a radical social-democratic ticket for President of the United States that includes as his running mate the ambitious, disagreeable junior senator from California: Kamala Harris.
Duplicity aside, perhaps the only details of Harris’s speech more cringeworthy than her insincerity was her inability to tell the truth about virtually anything. DAVID KELTZ
She insinuated that Kavanaugh was linked to Russian collusion — a claim so absurd that she was mocked by both of the major newspapers in her home state, the San Francisco Chronicle and the Los Angeles Times. Harris also drew criticism for a deceptively-edited video in which she falsely suggested Kavanaugh opposed birth control.

The best-case scenario is that she’s Kamala Harris) a progressive who repeatedly violated her own principles so that she could promote her career. In the worst-case scenario, she’s just another corrupt, rotten, regressive prosecutor.
JESSER HOROWITZ
Joe Biden, the corrupt, unaccomplished 47-year career politician, with a reputation of having been a proud segregationist, an unabashed plagiarist and liar, a resolute tale-teller, and a serial flip-flopper, is pretending to head up a radical social-democratic ticket for President of the United States that includes as his running mate the ambitious, disagreeable junior senator from California: Kamala Harris.
Duplicity aside, perhaps the only details of Harris’s speech more cringeworthy than her insincerity was her inability to tell the truth about virtually anything. DAVID KELTZ
She insinuated that Kavanaugh was linked to Russian collusion — a claim so absurd that she was mocked by both of the major newspapers in her home state, the San Francisco Chronicle and the Los Angeles Times. Harris also drew criticism for a deceptively-edited video in which she falsely suggested Kavanaugh opposed birth control.

9. Why did your office decline to investigate the health supplement fraud cases involving companies your husband’s law firm represented? Did you, as California’s attorney general, ever purposefully decline investigating or prosecuting clients of your husband’s law firm?
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and her husband, attorney Douglas Emhoff, gave 1.1% of their income to charity in 2019, tax records show.
Harris reported giving $35,390 to charity, while she and her husband earned $3,095,950 in taxable income.

Fact Check: Kamala Harris Falsely Claims Biden Admin Reduced Heating, Electric Bills
1:28 CLAIM: On Wednesday at Bowie State University, Vice President Kamala Harris stated the Biden administration has “reduced heating and electricity bills so folks have more money in their pocket.”
VERDICT: FALSE. The cost of natural gas rose 6.7 percent from December 2022 to January 2023, and electricity increased 0.5 percent, according to the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) in January.
On a yearly bases, Harris’s claims were also false. “The fuel oil index rose 27.7 percent over the last 12 months, while the index for electricity rose 11.9 percent, and the index for natural gas increased 26.7 percent over the same period,” the CPI reported in January.
Moreover, since the Biden administration assumed office, the average price for electricity per Kilowatt-Hour in American cities has spiked, the St. Louis FED reported.
In February 2021, the cost was $0.137. In January 2023, the unit cost soared to $0.168:
In a recent interview, Jill Biden said Joe needed to stay in office because he hasn’t finished his goals. His goals appear to be to remake or destroy America with open borders and by making as many people dependent on the government as possible — and most of the media supports those goals, claiming the slogan of Make America Great Again is dangerous. That is delusional.

Delusional Democrat Kamala Harris strikes again, this time on the cost of living crisis
The Inflation Reduction Act did nothing to lower the rising inflation rate. What it did was dole out rebates if people spent money on the greenie “investments” so loved by Democrat politicians. For example if a person were to spend $20,000 on a geothermal energy system for their home, they would receive a $6,000 tax credit. Thanks to the destruction of the dollar at the hands of the government, most poor and middle class people today can’t even come up with $1,000 for an emergency; how in the world are they supposed to qualify for this “generosity.” The IRA should have been called the Inflation Production Act.
Kamala Harris is either so willing to lie, or is so ignorant that she believes the Biden clown show is actually focused on and successfully reduced energy costs. The price of crude oil was around $40 when she and Biden took office; immediately, Biden set out to destroy energy companies that produced reasonably priced energy for the public. The price skyrocketed from $40 per barrel to around $120 per barrel, or up 200%. Now, the price is down to around $80 per barrel, which is still a 100% increase from two years ago. I bet people haven’t received a 100% pay increase to match, yet we have the displeasure of Kamala Harris (mis)informing the public that prosperity and a high standard of living are Biden administration priorities. From a California news outlet:
VP Kamala Harris tells Americans to calm down, and take a vacation, claiming her and President Biden ‘have reduced heating and electricity bills so folks have more money in their pocket to buy things like school supplies, replace the dishwasher or take a family vacation.’
The Biden administration clearly knows that high energy prices “hurt” people — see a headline from yesterday below:
Deputy Treasury Sec’y: We’ve Avoided any Russia Sanctions that Would Impact Energy Delivery Because That Hurts Developing World
So Biden and his troupe forgo sanctions against Russia so as not to hurt the citizens, but they have no problem imposing policies on us, the American people, with the same harmful consequences. We are essentially financing both sides of the war.
Incidentally, why is China still considered to be a developing country when disastrous policies like the “Paris Climate accord” are considered? That is delusional when China is an enemy that will gladly destroy us.
On a personal note: I just saved $2,000 with the purchase of my new 2022 Dodge Charger. Of course, it cost my $45,000 to save that $2,000, but still, what a bargain! Thanks Joe! My 2018 Charger, which was similarly equipped, cost $33,000. People should remember that when Joe and Kamala were (s)elected, inflation hovered under 2%.
When the Democrats passed the “Affordable Care Act” they falsely promised that it would substantially lower healthcare costs. Instead, prices skyrocketed because they took away freedom of choice which would allow the market to regulate, and added restrictive government mandates. The media still cheers for this act that was passed with a series of lies and which greatly increased costs for businesses, individuals and families who don't qualify for the subsidies.
Again, it begs the question: What are these people smoking?

The Democrats' dilemma: even Californians don’t want Kamala Harris
Am I a bad person to enjoy the increasingly untenable position in which Democrats find themselves as we near the 2024 election? I really love watching them struggle with the specter of a second Biden campaign or, worse, the problem of lining up candidates if they convince Jill…er, Joe not to run. A new piece of evidence about the dilemma facing the Democrats is the fact that Californians do not like Kamala Harris, the country’s most powerful Democrat “woman of color.” Heh.
Whether you like all the potential candidates or not, the Republican field is dynamic and offers lots of great choices along with some dispiriting and depressing ones: Trump (who has declared), DeSantis (who almost certainly will declare), Ramaswamy (declared), Haley (declared), Tim Scott (probably will declare), Mike Pence (probable declaration), Larry Hogan (probable declaration), Glenn Youngkin (possible declaration). Indeed, we have an embarrassment of riches that, as in 2016, requires an incredibly strong candidate to emerge victorious from the fray.
Meanwhile, the Democrats have Joe Biden. Admittedly, he is the most effective president America has ever seen. In only two years, he’s reversed everything Trump accomplished, and has driven America into the deepest ditch imaginable.
If you measure success by a broken economy, a nonexistent border, racial hatred, gender madness, a nearing nuclear conflict, and America’s full retreat from being the world’s superpower, Biden is your guy, no matter how old and senile he’ll be at the start of a second term. There are people out there celebrating Jill Biden’s promise that Joe will run again.
Image: Kamala Harris. YouTube screen grab.
However, Democrats are beginning to suspect that not everyone supports Joe’s “Destroy America” agenda. They’d love to see Joe announce a graceful retirement, which would leave the field open for…Kamala Harris.
Yup. Kamala. Given how important women, especially black women and self-loathing white women, are to the Democrat party, should Kamala choose to run, the Democrats cannot abandon her. After all, she is the Vice President of the United States and the first woman of cackle…sorry, I mean color to hold that office. She is pretty much untouchable for a party built around labels involving sex, race, and sexual identity.
The problem for the party is that, aside from the fanatic base, voters really don’t like Kamala Harris. You may recall that, in 2019, she had to drop out of the Democrat primary after it became apparent that she wouldn’t even carry her home state of California. Across America, voters disliked her politics and her persona.
It turns out that they still do. Writing at SFGATE, a left-leaning online newspaper out of San Francisco, Eric Ting, the publication’s political analyst, writes that Californians still dislike Kamala Harris:
The Berkeley Institute of Government Studies/Los Angeles Times poll, conducted between Feb. 14 and Feb. 20 among 7,512 registered voters, asked respondents the question, "If Joe Biden decides not to run for a second term for President in 2024, how would you feel about Vice President Kamala Harris running for President in 2024?"
Just 16% said they'd be "very enthusiastic," while 21% said they'd be "somewhat enthusiastic"; 18% answered "not too enthusiastic," and a clear plurality of 41% said "not enthusiastic at all." Four percent of survey respondents offered no opinion.
In sum, just 37% of voters say they have enthusiasm for a Harris presidential bid, compared with a whopping 59% who expressed hesitancy. When looking at the results among only Democratic voters, 56% say they'd be enthusiastic, while 41% said they would not be. The fact that 4 in 10 California Democrats don't want to see Harris run for president is extremely worrying news for her.
One should never discount Black Swans, of course, those completely unexpected events that shape the future. Trump was a Black Swan, and so was Biden. That he won the election revealed the depth of corruption infecting voting across America. While that was almost predictable, the Black Swan part was that Biden, a pretty generic Democrat throughout his career, turned into the destroyer. (I keep thinking how, in Ghostbusters, the “destructor” ended up being the smiling Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.)
So, something may happen in the next year that completely changes the Democrat race and raises to the forefront a powerful and beloved black woman who has a former president at her side for the pillow talk of governance. Let’s hope, though, that the Black Swan I’m thinking of does not want to run. Instead, let me enjoy, at least for the moment, the thought that Democrats are trapped between the Scylla and Charybdis of Biden and Harris for 2024.

The main objective of “political animals” like Obama and the Clintons is to get elected; it’s not to fix a broken America, nor to protect her. There are people who govern and there are people who campaign; Obama and the Clintons are the latter. Just look at the huge Republican electoral gains under Obama and the Clintons. It’s amazing that Democrats who still care about their party still support the very people who have brought it down.

Russian Billionaires Did Business with Hunter Biden, Dined with Joe, Dodged Sanctions
Here’s your Russian collusion.
Before Donald Trump was even elected president and throughout the entire period of his administration, the Leftist establishment that is entrenched in Washington officialdom and among the propaganda outlets that are known as the major news organizations inundated us with nonsense about how he had improperly colluded with Russia in order to gain the White House, and was still in Vladimir Putin’s pocket. There was, as is now well-known, nothing whatsoever to it; it was all a hoax designed to discredit Trump and destroy his presidency, although like the Japanese soldiers found hiding in the woods in the 1970s, not knowing that the war was over, there are still some holdouts on the far Left who insist it was all true. And actually it was, but not of Donald Trump. If you want actual Russian collusion, take a look at Old Joe Biden.
The New York Post reported Thursday that “two Russian billionaires who have managed to dodge US sanctions over Moscow’s year-old invasion of Ukraine went property shopping with Hunter Biden, dined with then-Vice President Joe Biden, and discussed ‘favors’ they might swap.” That’s collusion for you, but of course the Washington establishment that went after Trump with such vicious ferocity over nothing whatsoever is entirely indifferent to this fresh evidence that the demented corruptocrat they installed in the White House is as crooked as the day is long. Russian collusion is only of interest to this establishment when it can be used as a political tool; when people on their side do it, it’s entirely beneath notice.
Well, almost entirely. The Biden regime’s Treasury Department did take notice long enough on Friday to spare two Russian pals of Joe and Hunter, Yelena Baturina and Vladimir Yevtushenkov, from “a fresh batch of sanctions.” The UK and Australia have sanctioned Yevtushenkov, but not the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. And with a level of understatement that was positively Hemingwayesque, an anonymous source whom the Post says has “firsthand knowledge of the business relationship between Hunter Biden and Yevtushenkov,” says: “I think it’s very fishy.”
So does Michael McFaul, who is such a right-wing Trumpian ideologue that he served as Barack Obama’s ambassador to Russia. “I think he should be sanctioned,” McFaul said of Yevtushenkov. “I don’t understand why he has not been.”
I do, Mike. It’s really quite simple. Yevtushenkov hasn’t been sanctioned because he had the good judgment to do business with Hunter and Joe Biden. This gives the Russian an all-purpose Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card, as the Washington establishment will do anything it can possibly do to shield the Bidens from the consequences of their corrupt dealings, and to keep the American people from discovering just how crooked the man who pretends to be president really is.
And he is. Yevtushenkov “admitted last year he met with Hunter Biden for breakfast at the Ritz-Carlton in Manhattan on March 14, 2012 — but denied any further contact.” He was, the terminally naïve will be surprised to learn, lying: “emails and calendar entries from Hunter’s former laptop show that they were set to meet again on Jan. 27, 2013, for dinner at DC’s Cafe Milano before looking at a commercial real estate development the next day near Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia.” The Post’s source recounted: that he asked Yevtushenkov why he was meeting with Hunter, and the Russian billionaire replied: “I think it would be good to have a good relationship with this guy … maybe he can do a favor for us and we can do a favor for him.” The source added: “It was a complete quid pro quo that he was going in for.” Collusion and quid pro quo! It looks as if yet again the Left has engaged in the old tactic of accusing the other side of that which they are guilty of doing. The source added: “I told him that’s not the way it works in America, [but] he basically laughed at me and told me I was so naïve.”
Indeed. And wait, there’s more: “A different source, meanwhile, told The Post he vividly recalled Baturina and her husband, ex-Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov, looking ‘like an odd couple’ at a now-infamous, intimate dinner with Hunter and his father, the then-vice president.” Also at the dinner was “Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive at Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which paid Hunter up to $1 million per year beginning in 2014 while his VP dad controlled the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy. Pozharskyi emailed Hunter the next day to thank him for ‘giving an opportunity to meet your father.’”
But Old Joe Biden knows how the game is played. He “called the report a false ‘Russian plant’ at the time and social media platforms Twitter and Facebook initially censored it.” Even now, he will face no political consequences for all this Russian collusion. That’s only for presidents who dare to put America first.

It looks as if yet again the Left has engaged in the old tactic of accusing the other side of that which they are guilty of doing. The source added: “I told him that’s not the way it works in America, [but] he basically laughed at me and told me I was so naïve.”
Indeed. And wait, there’s more: “A different source, meanwhile, told The Post he vividly recalled Baturina and her husband, ex-Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov, looking ‘like an odd couple’ at a now-infamous, intimate dinner with Hunter and his father, the then-vice president.” Also at the dinner was “Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive at Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which paid Hunter up to $1 million per year beginning in 2014 while his VP dad controlled the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy. Pozharskyi emailed Hunter the next day to thank him for ‘giving an opportunity to meet your father.’”
But Old Joe Biden knows how the game is played. He “called the report a false ‘Russian plant’ at the time and social media platforms Twitter and Facebook initially censored it.” Even now, he will face no political consequences for all this Russian collusion. That’s only for presidents who dare to put America first.

If Leftists Hate America So Much, Why Don't They Leave?
Why aren't the fascist far-left leaving the country they loathe?
People usually don't try to transform and then destroy that which they love, so why aren't they just leaving?
These days, the Babylon Bee has the range, and it's putting its rhetorical rounds right on target. Now it's just firing for effect, from a story about a man catching up on the latest news by reading two-year-old posts on a conspiracy blog to a satirical report from a few years ago about a group of leftists heading for the Socialist Paradise of Venezuela.
It brings up a point you might have been asking yourself for quite some time: why aren't they leaving? Why haven't the authoritarians of the fascist far left packed their bags and set off for greener collectivist fields, leaving the rest of us alone?
Why are the tyrannical ten percent sticking around when it's nothing like their authoritarian floor model, the big shiny communist nation of China, with its "socialism with Chinese characteristics" that they love?
How can they stomach dealing with a nation where people are just allowed to say or write whatever they want and defend themselves with — dare we say it — guns? How do they live in a nation where people are just allowed to have gas stoves, lawnmowers, and chainsaws? Where the government in its infinite wisdom cannot penalize the people for wrongthink? Where all of that liberty-induced stress puts a strain on their already fragile psyches?
Why are they still here when they could move to perfect examples of the Utopia (that means "no place") that they want to impose on us that already exist around the world? They pine for the "worker's paradise" perfection that was national socialist Germany, the USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, and communist China, yet they are still here, complaining that we're not properly suffering as they are in those nations.
Perhaps if they don't know their feelings for the country, we can help them with our second point. Maybe they're under the false impression that they are being "patriotic" and fostering "progress." They are entirely incorrect in this impression. Destroying a country has never been considered to be "patriotic." We'll lay out a partial case to illustrate the point.
It'll be a partial case because we don't have the space to detail all of what Team Wrecking Ball has done to the country. They started out destroying our energy independence, inflated the currency to screw the middle class, threw open the border to an illegal invasion, actively worked to weaken the nation, and divided it by race and other immutable characteristics.
Then we have foreign policy debacles, epitomized by the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. They fascistically have the government collude with Big Tech to suppress free speech and freedom of the press, while they obsess day and night over new ways of confiscating guns and depriving the people of their commonsense civil rights.
This doesn't even begin talking about how they lie with language to make normal weather events seem more severe or crime the fault of inanimate objects. Or how they are actively working to weaken the country by depleting our Strategic Petroleum Reserve and sending unending piles of cash overseas, unaccountable to anyone. Who knows what else they have in store for us?
Every roll of the dice is against our best interest, against our people, and against our commonsense civil rights. Even blind luck would have something come out in our favor once in a while, but nothing ever does. It's not that we're questioning their patriotism, because they would need to show patriotism before it could be questioned.
All of this is just touching the surface. It raises the question: what would they be doing differently if they wanted a different outcome? How is all of this supposed to magically transform the country into something better?
Can anyone figure out how having the country overrun with an illegal invasion, overdosed on fentanyl, weakened by energy dependence on unreliable energy sources, divided so we are fighting with one another, having our basic civil liberties destroyed, and beset by a myriad of other self-inflicted wounds supposed to foster "Progress"? We don't see it, so where is their "patriotism"?
[W]henever the legislators endeavor to take away, and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any farther obedience.
—John Locke, Second Treatise of Government, 1690
The main point is that we are talking about a small political minority that has to constantly use deception to gain any traction, hence we call them "the tyrannical ten percent." We're talking about a small but very vocal political minority in the country. Yes, they love to pretend they are the "majority," but seriously, how many people are fully on board with all of what we just detailed?
We're supposed to somehow fall for the fiction from the nation's socialist media that all of this is either a "conspiracy theory" or happenstance. We're also supposed to forget that everything else they told us was a "conspiracy theory" or happenstance.
The tyrannical ten percent, the ruling aristocrats (cultural guerrilla warfare means we don't refer to them as "elite"), have an outsized influence, and after two long years, it is clear: they are doing all they can to destroy the country they must hate with a passion. So why aren't they leaving?
Why are they trying to transform the nation into a socialist scum hole that no one else wants?

Meet the Anti-Semitic Spiritual Guru on Cori Bush's Payroll
Nathaniel Davis, who claims he's 109 trillion years old and that Jews control the world, has received $137,000 from Bush since 2020
He claims he can summon tornadoes at will, cause earthquakes with his hate, and conduct blood rituals to bring ruin upon his enemies. An intergalactic master of psychic self-defense born 109 trillion years ago, his days, he says, are now spent tending to his crops and spreading anti-Semitic conspiracies.
Nathaniel Davis III also happens to be Rep. Cori Bush’s (D., Mo.) close friend and her highest-paid private security guard.
Davis has earned over $137,000 providing "security services" for Bush since 2020, according to FEC filings, the latest of which showed disbursements of $5,000 in Dec. 2022. Using dozens of social media posts, including photos and videos that show Davis with Bush, the Washington Free Beacon has confirmed that Davis is in fact a St. Louis, Missouri, spiritual guru known as Aha Sen Piankhy who teaches classes on how to read minds, summon mythical beings, and maintain urban gardens—to avoid having to buy food from the Jews.
Davis, a former member of the vehemently anti-Semitic New Black Panther Party, is a natural fit for Bush, who has a history of associating with anti-Semites. She spent years working with anti-Israel activist Neveen Ayesh, who has said she wants to burn Jews alive. A vocal supporter of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, Bush is a close ally of her fellow Squad member, anti-Semitic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.).
Similarly, Bush spent years working as a faith healer for a religious sect that claims the power to resurrect the dead and cure deadly maladies through prayer. The head pastor of Bush’s church told the Free Beacon in 2021 that he cured Bush’s severe case of COVID-19 with a phone call. Nor is Davis the only eyebrow-raising security guard on Bush’s payroll: The congresswoman last week announced that she had married another of her handsomely compensated protectors.
When Davis, who did not return requests for comment, is not protecting the congresswoman, he spends his time teaching St. Louis’s black community to grow their own food—so they can liberate themselves from a genocidal Jewish cabal that runs the world.
"I’m going come teach the people how to survive. It’s what I came to this planet for in this lifetime," Davis said in a July 17, 2020, Facebook live stream. "I’m 109 trillion years old in this galaxy, the Milky Way galaxy."
Davis has advanced a number of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, including the belief that the Rothschild family "runs the Western Hemisphere" and unleashed the COVID-19 pandemic to murder 99 percent of the human population. Davis is also a proponent of QAnon, according to a Facebook post he shared in December 2018.
"You got the global elite looking to kill every last one of us. They want to wipe out half the population of the planet," Davis said in a July 17, 2020, Facebook livestream.
It is unclear when or how Bush and Davis met. But the congresswoman’s personal Facebook page shows that she is friends with "Aha Davis Zadok El," one of Davis’s Facebook accounts. There, he claims to be a member of the "Priesthood of the Sun Moon Sect." Davis’s various Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts are riddled with references to the "Priesthood of the Sun Moon Sect."
Davis has also claimed a number of supernatural abilities, including the ability to summon hurricanes, levitate, and retrieve winning lottery numbers "from the spirit realm," a difficult skill that Davis warns may come at an undisclosed cost to the summoner.
The Free Beacon was able to confirm just one event in which the psychic self-defense master provided security to Bush.
Wearing an oversized beige T-shirt, green cargo pants, and a white face mask, Davis was latched to Bush’s side during a July 3, 2020, protest that culminated in her shouting through a megaphone outside the home of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple that brandished weapons before Black Lives Matter protesters a week prior, according to video footage of the event.
Davis can be seen walking alongside Bush in a video the lawmaker posted on Twitter the day after the July 3 protest.
A few days prior, on June 20, 2020, Davis posted a photo of himself on Facebook wearing an identical outfit at a Juneteenth festival in St. Louis.
Davis also filmed two brief videos of himself walking behind Bush at the July 3 protest. While her face is never shown, Bush can be seen wearing the same black shirt, white polka-dotted face mask, and blue jeans, as well as carrying a plastic water bottle in her back-left pocket, as seen in other photos of the event.
Bush appears to have taken steps to conceal Davis’s identity in her campaign spending reports by listing her campaign headquarters’ address for the majority of her payments to Davis—a move that made it nearly impossible to identify which Nathaniel Davis was on her staff.
But the three other campaign payments to Davis list a residential home in St. Louis, which is the same address Davis used in July 2020 when he formed a Missouri LLC called the Revolutionary Business Group.
The Revolutionary Business Group was a business incubator chaired by Davis that claimed to have officers in five states and the Netherlands. It doesn’t appear the group ever got off the ground. Its website is offline, and the group has been inactive on Facebook since January 2022.
Still, Davis references the group on his various Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts. He appears in an August 2020 Facebook video introducing the Revolutionary Business Group team, in which a colleague introduces him as "Mr. Aha Nathaniel Davis III." Davis later refers to himself as "Aha Sen Piankhy."
Davis claims he chooses not to make use of his most destructive powers. But he is not above making threats, claiming in May 2020 that he can cause his enemies' teeth to fall out whenever they speak his name.
At publication time, this reporter’s teeth remain firmly affixed to his head.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hadn't been paying the help
What do we call people who don't pay the help?
Well, in the past, they were known as plantation owners, or slave-holders, a hot topic for wokester leftists.
Nowadays, just say "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez."
She's got quite a track record of not paying the help based on her appearance at the Met Gala last year, according to revelations from the congressional ethics investigation on her.
She not only took "gifts" (really big gifts, which started with the $35,000 price of the ticket), but failed to pay in any timely manner the staff who fluffed her up in her famous "Tax the Rich" gown that got her so much fawning publicity.
According to TMZ:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delayed making payments in regards to her Met Gala appearance two years ago — this according to the findings of an ethics investigation.
The NY congresswoman has been at the center of a Capitol Hill probe for about a year, and this week ... the results were released. According to the fact-finders, it looks like AOC and/or her staff were quite slow in paying people back ... to the tune of thousands of dollars.
The House Ethics Committee came down hard in their report, saying they have "substantial reason" to believe Rep. Ocasio-Cortez might have violated ethics rules for members of Congress, and maybe even broken federal laws pertaining to gifts and perks she received at the time of the Gala, when she walked the red carpet in a loud "Tax the Rich" dress.
According to them, it's unclear if AOC was ever going to pay people back for the dress, the makeup services, the hotel costs, the accessories, or anything else she received as part of her appearance ... and they go on to claim that the launch of this investigation seems to have spurred her and her staff to act. AOC has since paid off the tab ... about $7,700 all told.
This is an amazingly crummy way of treating tradespeople, who no doubt gave their all to make Ocasio-Cortez look like a million bucks for the other Beautiful People at that Vogue-sponsored gala. Ocasio-Cortez makes a six-figure congressional salary, so we know she had the means to pay. She just didn't want to, and had there not been a congressional ethics investigation, she might not have.
Most of these people who went unpaid for months weren't high-paid workers, as Nicole Gelinas wrote in her excellent description of the scandal for the New York Post.
It costs money to be a Kardashian-level celebrity: transportation, dress, hair, makeup, hotel room, manicure, shoes, handbag, jewels, boyfriend accessories.
As AOC's lawyer assured Congressional ethics officials just after the gala, "the Congresswoman is paying personally for all other benefits including the rental value of her dress, handbag, and accessories, ... shoes ..., hair and makeup, transportation, and ... hotel room ... for staging."
Oh, no! What to do? Just ... don't pay for these things, and hope no one notices.
How? The fashion industry is famously exploitative. Struggling designers need exposure, and work for cheap to get it.
So AOC got herself a haute couture dress – consultation, design, fittings, materials, and day-of styling, likely well above a ten-thousand-dollar value – from a Brooklyn designer for a billed cost of a $1,300 "rental."
Good deal! But did she pay the $1,300? No. Her campaign staff called the designer to talk the price down to $300. That's how much AOC values weeks worth of labor.
Then she delayed, by months, the paying of the staffers who gussied her up — the gown "rental," the shoe "rental," (Gelinas points out that these were questionable classifications), as well as the hairdo, the makeup, the car service, the hotel service, the boyfriend's accessories. Only the manicurist got paid promptly because she demanded payment in cash up front. (It makes one wonder if she's been burned in the past by people like AOC.) The others got paid only after the congressional investigation got going. According to Gelinas, "the makeup artist sent the bill to a collection agency, which said it was 'EXTREMELY overdue.'" The hairdresser threatened to call the New York Department of Labor to make a complaint over the $477.73 bill.
Apparently, only the congressional ethics investigation actually motivated her to cough up.
Ocasio-Cortez preened around like a celeb because in her mind she was a celeb, and stiffing the little guys who do these things is what celebrities often do. The little guys in that industry are forced to take it because the celeb's custom is "exposure" for them, but it usually doesn't work out that way, and even if it did, they still need to be paid. It's one of Hollywood's crappiest games, and Ocasio-Cortez leaped in to embrace it with gusto.
That left a lot of people waiting for a paycheck after performing their services, something that wouldn't be tolerated in the restaurant industry or at hotels if the clients were ordinary people. One set of laws for them...
Ocasio-Cortez, however, is a pol, and politicians are subject to more ethics rules on gifts than ordinary people, which makes her omission twice as egregious. Pols know the rules and are very careful to follow them, but Ocasio-Cortez flouted them with alacrity.
She not only flouted the pay-the-help practice, but actually solicited the tickets to the event and then spent weeks with staffers attempting to make it on the up-and-up, not an illegal campaign gift, finally settling for AOC's tickets not being from Vogue (whose parent company has a Washington lobbyist, making it subject to ethics rules on gifts), but from Devil-Wears-Prada editor Anna Wintour, who must consider AOC a very good friend indeed to be handing her two free $35,000 tickets to her gala.
Of course, it has the look of cash for favors. But like the unpaid help, it's of little concern to AOC. Laws are for little people. Socialist celebrities are different. That's what AOC demonstrated here. Who knew that AOC would have so much in common with Leona Helmsley?
TMZ says that Congress gave AOC a pass on the tickets/gift violation, while AOC's induced payment of the help got her off the hook otherwise. Haven't congressional investigators sent less tony congressmen to jail for less? Think of Rep. Duncan Hunter, who spent campaign cash on trips to Italy. He's out of office for that. Why isn't she?

TREND ALERT: 'Squad' Democrats Funneling Money to Men They're Sleeping With
Radical left-wing clique dogged by dubious transactions
What happened: Another member of "The Squad," a consortium of radical left-wing Democratic lawmakers, has been caught funneling campaign money to her male lover.
Rep. Cori Bush (D., Mo.) married her private security guard, Cortney Merritts, in a secret ceremony last month. The revelation raised concern among ethics advocates who pointed out that Bush's campaign had paid Merritts more than $62,000 since January 2022, long after the pair became romantically involved.
Despite being paid for security services, Merritts does not appear to have a private security license, which is required to perform security services in St. Louis, where Bush's district is located. He did have a security license at some point, but it expired in 2012.
Why it matters: Bush is the second "Squad" member to come under fire for using campaign funds to line the pockets of her romantic partner. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), the 2019 Anti-Semite of the Year, married her top political consultant Tim Mynett in 2020 after funneling more than $500,000 to Mynett's firm.
Context: Before marrying him, Omar repeatedly denied allegations that she was dating Mynett, probably because he was married to another woman at the time. Court documents indicate that Mynett separated from his wife in April 2019 after admitting he was "romantically involved with and in love with another woman, Ilhan Omar."
Omar married Mynett less than a year later and continued to funnel the majority of her campaign funds to his firm, the E Street Group, which raked in nearly $3 million from his wife's campaign during the 2020 election cycle.
More context: Bush, who wants to defund the police, has spent more than $600,000 in campaign funds on private security, including the payments to her then-boyfriend. She spends more on private security than almost every other member of Congress—by far.
What they're saying:
• "Cori Bush's payments of $62,360 for security services to her lover and now husband from her campaign funds raises the question of whether he is being paid for providing legitimate security services or simply for escorting her to events as her partner." — Paul Kamenar, counsel to the National Legal and Policy Center.
• "Suck it up, and defunding the police has to happen. We need to defund the police." — Cori Bush, in response to critics of her exorbitant security spending.
Bottom line: The "Squad," described by some as the future of the Democratic Party, is comprised of radical left-wing politicians who consistently engage in ethically dubious behavior. For example, an investigation by the Office of Congressional Ethics recently found "substantial reason to believe" that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) violated House ethics rules by failing to promptly repay the hairstylist, makeup artist, and other service workers who helped her attend the 2021 Met Gala in an infamous "Tax the Rich" dress.
