We had huge protests when President Trump was enforcing immigration laws. AOC showed up and cried at a chain link fence protecting a parking lot. Kids were shown in cages, from the Obama-Biden years, and Trump was blamed. But now that Biden refuses to abide by his oath to enforce the nation's laws, there is barely a whimper.
Somehow, we didn't get massive coverage when the NY Times showed that illegals, who are children, are essentially used as slaves.
Alone and Exploited, Migrant Children Work Brutal Jobs Across the U.S.
Nope, the media is more concerned that Republicans are trying to make sure that children's genitalia aren’t allowed to be destroyed without the permission of parents.
There isn't even much coverage when the Biden administration loses track of children.
Why don't we see the story about how many people, including kids, die at the border? It is a huge problem, but the leftists don't seem to care.
Biden Administration Official Unable to Give Clear Answer on Whereabouts of 85,000 Migrant Children
Joe Biden certainly doesn't care about the children any more than he cared about the six people killed by a gender-confused person in Nashville.
But it is a huge story if a black teen got shot, but didn't die, when he showed up at an 85-year-old white person's house at 10 PM. Then that teen gets invited to the White House to push the race card and gun issue.
If the media and other Democrats actually cared about children, especially the poor and minorities, they would not cater to teachers unions to keep schools closed during COVID, and they would support vouchers to allow the poor to go to better schools.
Of course, the media and other Democrats did care about the border when they reported widely the false story that border agents whipped Haitians. They always play the race card, no matter how fake the story is.
Biden and Garland, who say they never comment on ongoing investigations, enthusiastically claimed the agents were guilty and would be punished. This story was as true as the Russian collusion story, but no one cared. They were willing to destroy peoples' lives with no evidence. The Justice Department and DHS knew the story was false within a day yet did an extensive eleven-month investigation.
Maybe the Justice Department, other prosecutors, and other Democrats should concentrate on criminals and actual crimes, instead of having endless investigations and witch hunts like this, Russian collusion, Trump’s taxes, and a seven-year-old non-disclosure agreement where they search for a crime instead of investigating a crime.
After the eleven-month extensive investigation they found that agents used inappropriate language and one agent even admitted twirling his reins to keep the illegals at a distance.
Patrol agents on horseback did not whip migrants, but used force and inappropriate language, investigators say
One agent admitted to twirling horse reins as a distancing tactic.
Heaven forbid! Maybe he belongs in solitary confinement.
I hope no one in the Biden family ever used inappropriate language, instead of just taking massive kickbacks. Then the Justice Department might take it seriously.
If the media and other Democrats really cared about poor and starving children, clean water, sewage treatment plants, power plants, and helping underdeveloped countries they would encourage them to develop their natural resources, instead of blocking them and falsely telling them that would destroy the planet.
If rich people like Gates, Bloomberg, Obama, Oprah, and the royal family truly believed what they regurgitate, they would stop flying in private jets and building mansions while telling others they need to give up their freedom and quality of life
Save the Planet, Invest in Fossil Fuels
"Three billion people in the world still use less electricity than a typical refrigerator," explains Alex Epstein, author of "The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels." If they're going to have "their first well-paying jobs ... their first consistent supply of clean water ... a modern life ... that's going to depend on fossil fuels."
If the media truly believed in facts and science, they would ask questions and do research looking for evidence that oil, coal, natural gas, cars, methane and all the other stuff we are told cause warming actually do so, instead of just repeating what they are told. They would have as much success as they had looking for Russian colluson or hunting snipe.
Sadly, most of the media clearly cares more about power for leftists and campaigning for the radical leftist agenda to destroy and remake America than facts or science or children.

Attorney General Merrick Garland denied naming a special counsel in Hunter Biden’s tax investigation to provide a degree of separation between President Joe Biden and his Justice Department, according to allegations revealed Wednesday by an IRS whistleblower.
Trump-appointed U.S. prosecutor David Weiss allegedly requested to be named as a special counsel in the probe to provide a degree of separation between President Joe Biden and the Justice Department’s investigation into his son.
That request was reportedly denied, according to the whistleblower, potentially undermining the DOJ’s probe into Hunter for tax fraud, money laundering, and violation of lobbying laws.
Thirty-three Republican senators have demanded Garland give Weiss probing Hunter special counsel powers and protections. But their plea has gone unanswered. Garland has also previously refused to say whether a special counsel should be placed over the investigation to maintain an honest probe.
“Under President Biden and Attorney General Garland, America is not equally applying Justice and the rule of law. They are both equally culpable and responsible for abuse alleged by the IRS whistleblower,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Breitbart News.
Mike Davis, founder and president of the pro-Trump Article III Project and former Chief Counsel for Nominations to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, told Breitbart News that Garland has a direct conflict of interest and must appoint a special counsel.
“The criminal probe of Hunter Biden directly affects Garland’s boss. This is a coverup, ” he said. “House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan should put Garland in a chair in front of bright lights and cameras—and let Garland explain why he is more interested in running cover for his boss than following the law.”
In March, Garland insisted Weiss has the authority to bring charges against Hunter. However, Garland additionally noted he would personally have to authorize any potential charges against Hunter.
“I would then have to authorize it and permit it to be brought in another jurisdiction and that is what I promised I would do,” he told the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Weiss’s probe into Hunter could implicate Joe Biden. A witness who testified before the grand jury was reportedly asked to identify the “big guy.” The “Big Guy” is a reference to a joint venture between the Biden family, associates, and CEFC China Energy Co ., in which Joe Biden would receive a ten percent equity stake.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed in March the Biden family received a collective $1.3 million cut in 2017 from a Biden family business associate, who was sent a $3 million wire transfer from CEFC. Hunter has confirmed the $1.3 million China payout. Joe Biden falsely denied it.
Biden family members received the $1.3 million in return for favors from Joe Biden, Comer believes.
“The House Oversight Committee will work to hold accountable anyone in the Biden Administration who may be covering up this criminal activity,” Comer told Breitbart News.
“The Oversight Committee will also continue to pursue our investigation into the Biden family’s business schemes to determine if President Biden and our national security are compromised. Americans demand answers, transparency, and accountability,” he added.
In 2018 and 2020, Breitbart Senior Contributor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer published Secret Empires and Profiles in Corruption . Each book hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and exposed how Hunter Biden and Joe Biden flew aboard Air Force Two in 2013 to China before Hunter’s firm inked a $1.5 billion deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China less than two weeks after the trip. Schweizer’s work also uncovered the Biden family’s other vast and lucrative foreign deals and cronyism.
Breitbart Political Editor Emma-Jo Morris’s investigative work at the New York Post on the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” also captured international headlines when she, along with Miranda Devine, revealed that Joe Biden was intimately involved in Hunter’s businesses, appearing to even have a ten percent stake in a company the scion formed with officials at the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party.

Two Biden administration political appointees within the Justice Department are working to block charges against Hunter Biden for tax violations against recommendations, an IRS whistleblower alleged Wednesday, saying the appointees are engaging in “preferential treatment and politics.”
Hunter is under investigation by the DOJ for tax fraud, money laundering, and violation of lobbying laws. Trump-appointed U.S. prosecutor David Weiss for months has been weighing if there is sufficient evidence for the grand jury to indict him.
According to the whistleblower’s attorney, Mark Lytle, his client wishes to speak with congressional investigators to corroborate his claims of political interference in the probe, which he has reported to the Justice Department’s top watchdog, according to a report.
In a letter obtained by Just the News, “The IRS agent has … disclosed his concerns to both the Treasury Department Inspector General for Tax Administration and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.” The letter goes on to say:
Specifically, the agent has provided evidence that at least two Biden DOJ political appointees in U.S. attorneys’ offices have declined to seek a tax indictment against Hunter Biden despite career investigators’ recommendations to do so and the blessing of career prosecutors in the DOJ tax division.
In addition, the whistleblower alleges Weiss asked to be named as a special counsel in the probe to provide a degree of separation between the probe and Joe Biden. That request was apparently turned down.
The allegations come as the grand jury appears to have convened as far back as May 2019, a confidential subpoena served to JPMorgan Chase bank reveals. The subpoena sought bank records of Hunter and James Biden.
According to the New York Times , Hunter has tried to settle the DOJ’s probe. In 2021, Hunter paid an outstanding $1 million IRS tax bill to evade conviction or a long sentence. The payment could benefit Hunter’s defense.
The probe into Hunter could implicate President Joe Biden. A witness who testified before the jury was reportedly asked to identify the “big guy.” The “Big Guy” is a reference to a joint venture between the Biden family, associates, and CEFC China Energy Co ., in which Joe Biden would receive a ten percent equity stake. CEFC also paid Hunter a $1 million legal retainer.
In March 2018, James Biden demanded the legal services payment and provided CEFC “wiring instructions” to transfer the funds to Hudson West III LLC, an entity James and Hunter controlled.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed in March the Biden family received a collective $1.3 million cut in 2017 from a Biden family business associate, who was sent a $3 million wire transfer from CEFC. Hunter has confirmed the $1.3 million China payout, while Joe Biden falsely denied it.
Comer believes Biden family members received the $1.3 million in return for favors from Joe Biden. “We believe the reason the family was receiving this money is because of favors that Joe Biden did as vice president and or as president,” Comer told Bloomberg in March.
Comer’s investigation into the Biden family for nine violations , including tax evasion, money laundering, and wire fraud, is a separate probe from the DOJ’s.
Comer’s investigation has encompassed subpoenaing four major U.S. banks and one individual. The subpoenaed banks are Bank of America , Cathay Bank , JPMorgan Chase, and HSBC USA N.A. The banks have complied with the subpoenas.
Comer also subpoenaed the Biden family’s CEFC partner, Mervyn Yan . As a former CEFC official, Yan was an integral member of the Chinese energy conglomerate with strong ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Yan appears to be one of the few top CEFC officials who has not been detained or arrested.
“We’ve been wondering all along where the heck the DOJ and the IRS have been. Now it appears the Biden Administration may have been working overtime to prevent the Bidens from facing any consequences,” Comer told Breitbart News. “The House Oversight Committee will work to hold accountable anyone in the Biden Administration who may be covering up this criminal activity.”
In 2018 and 2020, Breitbart Senior Contributor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer published Secret Empires and Profiles in Corruption . Each book hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and exposed how Hunter Biden and Joe Biden flew aboard Air Force Two in 2013 to China before Hunter’s firm inked a $1.5 billion deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China less than two weeks after the trip.

AND YOU WONDERED WHY BIDEN SEEMED TO BE PERPETUALLY KISSING RED CHINA'S ASS???
“Of the nine Biden family members profiting off Communist China, let the American people decide,” Cruz said about Comer’s investigation. “If this is benign, release the reports.”
He added, “China is our biggest enemy, and I think you would have every Democrat that would go on your show say the same thing. We need to worry about China. Why is China is our biggest enemy, sending millions and millions of dollars to the Biden family and not just the president’s son and brother? Now we’ve got multiple family members here.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Wednesday demanded U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen publicly release the Biden family’s suspicious activity reports (SARs) or be complicit in coving up the “Biden family business profiting off Communist China.”
SARs “often contain evidence of potential criminal activities, such as money laundering and fraud,” according to a 2020 Senate report . U.S. banks have flagged over 150 SARs from Hunter and James Biden that included “large” amounts of money tagged for further review by the Treasury.

“The US Department of Treasury needs to release every single suspicious activity report on the Biden family,” Cruz said on his podcast. “Janet Yellen, you have a choice: You are either actively covering up potential evidence of corruption or release every one of them to the American people.”
In March, the Treasury gave House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) access to the SARs — only after months of stonewalling and delay. Upon review of the SARs, Comer (R-KY) announced Monday that a total of nine Biden family members may have profited from the family’s international business schemes.
In addition, Comer’s inspection of the SARs found that a Biden associate received a $3 million wire transfer from a Chinese energy company, CEFC. In turn, four Biden family members — Hunter, James, Hallie Biden, and an unidentified “Biden” — received a collective $1.3 million cut from the $3 million wire transfer. It is unknown who the six outstanding Bidens are who may have profited from the business.

Cruz demanded Yellen come clean about the reports stashed away in the Treasury and provide the information for public inspection.
“Of the nine Biden family members profiting off Communist China, let the American people decide,” Cruz said about Comer’s investigation. “If this is benign, release the reports.”
“Janet Yellen has a choice right now,” Cruz added. “If she doesn’t release those reports, she is complicit in the cover up.”
“So Secretary Yellen, release every single suspicious activity report on the Biden family. There’s no national security reason to keep them private,” Cruz said. “There’s no reason whatsoever other than if you want to be part of a political cover up.”

I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.

Both political sides know the DoJ is corrupt. However, while one side timidly admits it, the other vehemently denies it. The Dems are lying because they like the DoJ playing on their team, but they’re losing the narrative battle ( 53 percent of the public thinks the FBI is Joe Biden’s Gestapo). The Republicans are sick of their base being demonized, but lack the political power to do anything about it. Donald Trump challenged the DoJ and FBI. Look how that turned out for him. JOHN GREEN

Christopher Wray and the Politicization of the FBI
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has shocked many Americans by becoming a politicized law enforcement arm of the Democrat party. As the target of one of the FBI and Department of Justice political attacks -- solely because I had been talking to Ukrainian whistleblowers about Biden family corruption in that country --
3. CORRUPTION IN THE FBI: The malicious and ethics-free raid on Mar-a-Lago is viewed even by many Democrats and all Republicans as vicious political intimidation, with the goal of destroying any followers of Donald Trump. This began in earnest during the "Russia collusion" case and saw its culmination in midnight raids of innocent conservatives revealing a hateful, vengeful vigilantism on the part of the radical left. In the hope that supporters of Trump and other conservative candidates would drop out of politics in fear of similar reprisals, these Gestapo tactics have not only solidified Trump's support and the support of even moderately conservative candidates, but have shown the Left to be petty children in a deranged, red-haze temper tantrum.
DOJ's arrest policies
When Merrick Garland was questioned about why excessive force was used in the arrest of Mark Houck, an anti-abortion activist who had offered to turn himself in, the Attorney General evaded responsibility for the policy by saying ,
“The determinations of how to make arrests under arrest warrants are made based by the tactical operators in the district. They made the decision on the ground as to what was safest and easiest.”
Garland did not comment on the enormous expense of sending a SWAT team to arrest a father of seven. Also not mentioned was the fact that this early morning raid tactic, first developed by the Soviet KGB, is frequently used to arrest non-violent targets.
Early morning or pre-dawn raids are designed for maximum humiliation and intimidation. Dozens of federal agents with automatic weapons, armored vehicles, and sometimes a helicopter and amphibious watercraft are used intimidate the target, as was the case with Roger Stone. In the raid on Thomas Caldwell’s home, Caldwell’s 61-year-old wife was covered in red dots from the weapons aimed at her. She begged to put on her socks before they forced her outside in the cold. Caldwell himself, clad only in his underwear, was dragged through the grass. James O’Keefe claims he was partially clothed in front of his neighbors when he was dragged out of his apartment.
The federal government has a constitutional right to arrest people for certain offenses. When it goes to enormous expense to arrest cooperating subjects, there is another motive to their actions. Intimidation and humiliation are not proper components of an arrest. There is also the factor that SWAT raids can go terribly wrong. Innocent people have been killed in their homes. The federal government has a history of heavy-handed attacks. It paid Randy Weaver $3.1 Million for the murder of this wife and son. There was also the Waco siege resulting in 75 deaths, including 25 children.
The Justice Department may be overzealous in some areas while in other areas they are reluctant to enforce the law. Merrick Garland claimed he was not aware of guidelines given to the U.S. Marshals Service to "avoid" arresting protesters outside the homes of Supreme Court justices. These protesters were in violation of 18 USC § 1507, which prohibits picketing with the intent of influencing any judge. Pro-abortion protesters have publicized the justices’ home addresses, the schools attended by their children, and their houses of worship. The protesters posed a serious threat to the justices and their families. Nicholas John Roske was arrested because he traveled to D.C. to assassinate Judge Kavanaugh. Garland’s response to these protests seems to contradict his claim that, “Threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values.”

How Could a Democrat Voter Learn the Truth?
I'm a lifelong Republican voter, born and raised in Massachusetts. My Dad is a well informed, outspoken, rock-ribbed conservative republican. I remember him putting a Barry Goldwater bumper sticker on our station wagon in 1964, when we lived in tough, blue-collar Worcester. This man is afraid of nothing.
I was afforded many opportunities to listen to lively political discourse at family events while I was growing up. These people loved one another, so the discussions were never nasty or hurtful. Most of the younger members of the family watching these discussions eventually gravitated toward being Republicans. Family fights and ugly words would not have produced that result. That was an important lesson.
It's no secret that deep-blue Massachusetts breeds rabid leftist ideologues — it's the state's chief export (and I do mean chief ). However, those people aren't anywhere near the majority in Massachusetts, even though they run the place. The fact is, these people aren't the majority anywhere, though they try to convince us otherwise.
Here is the problem in a nutshell. Most Democrat voters don't realize that leftist idealogues have hijacked the Democrat party , actively pushing traditional Democrat politicians out. They don't yet understand that the Democrat party they knew doesn't exist anymore. Almost all of the major news organizations work together to lie to Democrat voters and feed them misinformation constantly. Corrupted government entities like the FBI and the DOJ, and the leftists running all social media, have worked together to censor and silence any dissenting voices.
Most Democrat voters I talk to up here are comparatively normal, although deceived and misinformed. Most of them don't seem to like leftists very much, though. Many of them can't identify with their own party anymore and feel like displaced persons politically. When he was voted in as House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries received 100% of the vote from his party. It's interesting that he had only a 35% approval rating among Democrat voters at the time. That left 65% who disapproved. That tells me that, yes, the leftists have hijacked the Democrat party, and it tells me that there's a large pool of Democrat voters who aren't on board with their party right now. Quite a few of them are starting to tune out, too. Have you seen CNN's ratings lately?
We have a rare opportunity. Shocking levels of malfeasance and corruption from leftist Democrats have recently been revealed to the public. They can no longer hide what they really are and what they're doing to this country. Let's dialogue with that disillusioned 65% and show them the evidence. They have no one else to tell them the truth. It's the only way to undermine the stranglehold leftists currently have on the Democrat party.
I'm not saying we should waste our time trying to talk to people who wear "pussy hats " and take their toddlers to Drag Queen Story Hour . Only a psychiatrist can help people like those. I'm saying that we can, and we should, try to engage positively with reasonable Democrat voters about the current state of the country.
First, we need to get the idea out of our heads that every democrat voter is a Marxist. Many are, there's no doubt. However, the guy next door mowing his lawn and taking his kids to Little League is not a Marxist. He's a guy who never hears the truth, doesn't know where to find it, is probably part of the 65% who aren't Hakeem Jeffries fans, and is likely to have tuned out of current events to keep from losing his mind. He just doesn't know enough to stop pulling the "D" lever on election day. If the truth can find Naomi Wolfe , then we can reach this guy.
Below are a few subject ideas, with some information links to show people. As you see below, try to ask non-confrontational questions, and know your facts. Remember, we're trying to expose reasonable Democrat voters to truths the lying media never let them see, not win an argument. Try to guide them to good-quality, well sourced information on sites like American Thinker, Breitbart News, American Greatness, etc. If you can expose them to the truth, they won't be able to unsee it.
Right Track, Wrong Track
Did you know that nearly 70% of Americans polled think the country is on the "wrong track" at this point? That's 7 out of 10 Americans. Do you agree with that majority? Do you think most Democrats you know agree with the majority? Who do you think makes up the small group who feels like everything is just fine?
Government Censorship
Have you heard any information from the so-called "Twitter Files " on the news? Are you comfortable with the idea of the FBI , and even the White House , censoring free speech on social media? It's clear now that the federal government worked to eliminate all opposing political views , tried to remove people who disagreed with the Democrat party, and hid important medical information from the public. Are you aware that it is a violation of the U.S. Constitution for the federal government to engage in censorship of any kind? Have you ever seen the government behaving like this before?
Untrustworthy Media and Politicians
President Biden , various Democrat politicians , and the media keep repeating that President Trump said white supremacists were "very fine people" at Charlottesville. They also say he never condemned the white supremacists. These people are knowingly lying. Did you ever actually see the transcript of President Trump's full remarks at Charlottesville ?
We've been told for two years that the protest on January 6 was an "armed insurrection." That claim has been used to justify the arrest and incarceration of hundreds of people, and used to justify the censorship of those who disagree with the Democrat party. No one outside the January 6 Committee was allowed to see any of the supposed evidence supporting all this government activity. Recently, hidden security tapes were seized and finally made public by the speaker of the House, who allowed Tucker Carlson to play them on his news show . Did you see any of the revelations from these security tapes? If so, what did you think when you saw that we've been lied to by our government? Do you still trust President Biden, Democrat politicians, or the mainstream media to tell you the truth about important issues?
Enemies of the State?
President Biden repeatedly says that he considers conservative Republicans "enemies of the state" (here and here ), as do other Democrat politicians . Do you agree that fully half the country's voters are "enemies of the state," simply because they don't agree with President Biden and current Democrat policies? Are you comfortable with President Biden recklessly taunting American citizens (here and here ) during speeches, saying that they would "need F-15s" to prevent the federal government from basically trampling our guaranteed constitutional rights? Have you ever heard a U.S. president saying things like these before?

An estimated 3.5 million people voted in the Georgia Senate runoff election. State Voices, a leftist nonprofit, claimed that it had made 3 million voter contacts for the runoff.
ProGeorgia, the local partner for State Voices, bragged of having conducted “31,000 face-to-face conversations, 10 million texts, and 133,000 phone conversations” and of registering “tens of thousands for the midterm election” so that “voters of color turned out in early voting at higher levels than their white counterparts”. Such an outcome was inherently partisan and could and only did benefit one particular party: the Democrats.
While such claims are commonplace among party activists, State Voices and Pro-Georgia are both 501(c)(3) nonprofits. That means that they’re funded by tax-deductible contributions and are not supposed to be involved in elections. But they’re also typical of a massive network of political nonprofits which not only advocate for the Left but help Democrats win races.
“We leaned on our trusted partners in our fight for our democracy. Partnership for Southern Equity, Georgia Equality, Black Voters Matter, Coalition for the People’s Agenda, Georgia STAND-UP, and GALEO were instrumental in securing this critical win for people power,” ProGeorgia’s director, Tamieka Atkins, boasted.
The Black Lives Matter Fund has a 501(c)(4) that focuses on recruiting voters and a 501(c)(3) which engages in “capacity building assistance for community based organization” which can accept tax-deductible contributions. This is likely where ProGeorgia partnered with BVM.
“Georgia voters practically handed victories to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris with a historic election outcome,” BVM head LaTosha Brown boasted. “Georgia owes tremendous gratitude to its Black voters, who turned out and voted in record numbers.”
BVM benefited from a $100 million voter outreach and engagement war chest from the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC is also a 501(c)(3), but so are many of the Democrat organizations which are swinging elections using tax-deductible funds to bring in voters.
State Voices, through its various partners, claims similarly massive results across the country with “over 140 million voter contacts”, “1.9 million calls, 34.5 million texts”, “90 million emails” and 1 million door knocks. Parker Thayer at the Capital Research Center pointed out that these numbers trumped the 50 million voter contacts that the RNC had described as a new record.
While State Voices claims to be nonpartisan to retain its 501(c)(3) status, its partners are universally leftist groups including extremely partisan organizations like MoveOn and Color of Change. The IRS has ignored the close integration between C3s and C4s, whether it’s BVM or the ACLU balancing dual C3 and C4 arms or C3s like State Voices and ProGeorgia working closely on political goals with C4s. Either way the distinction between groups that are allowed to take in tax-deductible donations and those that are not has become a minor technicality.
And it could not have happened without the complicity of the IRS.
State Voices recently released a survey in three states on what people think “are problems and messages they may be most responsive to on issues” while emphasizing that it “encourages affiliates and partners to apply the guidance found in this research towards year round 501(c)(3) civic engagement activity” for “relevant legislative action and civic education work” but cautions about applying it to “voter registration or nonpartisan voter engagement activity without consulting counsel.” The legal firewall between polling voters about their views on abortion and then using it for “civic education”, but not “nonpartisan voter engagement”, or partisan voting engagement is equally thin.
Ever since the days of the NAACP, identity politics has been a convenient hook for setting up voter engagement organizations that appeal to particular demographics on particular issues. Nonprofits claim to be conducting “civic education” when they engage voters on the pet causes of the Democrats. But what’s the line between “civic education”, “nonpartisan voter engagement” and campaign activities? The IRS has made those lines meaningless.
And as a result, billions of dollars in tax-deductible funds have been used to finance Democrat campaign activities. This money passes through a series of ‘Russian nesting doll’ organizations as money from leftist megadonors like George Soros and foundations like the Ford Foundation is fed through smaller, but still huge middlemen like State Voices, which distribute money to their state counterparts, like ProGeorgia, that are themselves coalitions, uniting in this case, the Georgia AFL-CIO, Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, a teachers’ union and the Georgia Muslim Voter Project , along with dozens of more obscure local activist groups. Some of those groups also consist of even smaller coalitions that go down to the granular community group level.
The end result is a parallel operation that closely resembles the Democrats, shares their political views and works for the same causes, and funnels money that megadonors could not directly provide to the party to build something that is bigger and more effective than the party.
And much of it has the virtue of being tax-deductible so that taxpayers are the ones financing it.
State Voices claims that its “25 state-based coalitions… collectively partner with over 1,200 organizations.” The scale of the infrastructure involved easily dwarfs that of either party because State Voices is just one of a number of middlemen organizations that are playing a similar role.
While some campaign activities are still off limits, nonprofit cash is used to change voting rules, to finance elections, to conduct voter engagement and to collect lists used by Democrats. The nonprofit political machines shape the election battlefield so that the Democrats only have to focus on the most direct expenditures of the campaign rather than the big picture.
The IRS has made this political nonprofit taxocracy possible. It allows C3s to coordinate, partner, fund and provide resources to C4s on partisan issues. It lets C3s lobby on ballot measures while ignoring the requirement that these form only a small part of their expenditures. Its wilful neglect has permitted the Democrats to build a tax-deductible political machine that is not only altering the fabric of our country, but taking a direct and active role in its elections.
As discussed in Internal Radical Service
How much of an impact did State Voices and its claim of 140 million voter contacts have on the 2022 election? And how much of an impact will its over a thousand partners have in 2024?
Those are inquiries that the IRS does not want to conduct, but they are the burning questions that lie at the core of what it means to have free and fair elections. The IRS has allowed its leftist political allies to taint our elections at the base using tax-deductible money. That is its original sin and it is destroying the integrity of not only our elections, but our nation.
When the devil went down to Georgia to steal its elections, the IRS went with him. There was no fiddle of gold in it: just a Senate committed to abortion, treason and the mutilation of children.
