‘Impeachment’ Billionaire Tom Steyer Prepares to Launch Presidential Bid
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/11/19/report-impeachment-billionaire-tom-steyer-prepares-to-launch-presidential-bid/
Left-wing billionaire Tom Steyer, who spent millions in the
2018 midterm elections pushing for the impeachment of President Donald Trump,
is preparing to launch a campaign for president in 2020, according to Politico.
Politico’s Alex Thompson wrote Monday evening:
The
former billionaire investor, climate activist and impeachment agitator Tom
Steyer will take several steps toward a 2020 presidential bid Tuesday.
That will
include a six-figure web ad buy on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram
along with a full-page ad in USA Today and other Gannett newspapers outlining a
political platform, a revamped TomSteyer.com, and the announcement of five town
halls across the country, the first of which will be in the crucial early
primary state of South Carolina, according to copies of the ad and platform
provided to POLITICO.
The first
town hall is set for Dec. 4 in Charleston, S.C., and the next will be in
Fresno, Calif., sometime in December, according to Aleigha Cavalier, senior
communications adviser for TomSteyer.com who also works for Steyer’s
climate-focused group NextGen America. There will be one town hall for each of
the “5 rights” on Steyer’s platform: the right to an equal vote, to clean air
and water, to learn with pre-K education through college, to a living wage, and
to health.
Steyer
has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on other Democrats’ campaigns in
recent years. He was the party’s top donor in 2014 — buying few wins but
allowing him to force the party to stage an all-night talk session about
climate change on the Senate floor.
In 2018, he spent over $100
million on an effort to push for impeachment, reinforcing that message the day after the
election in a New York Times op-ed.

DEMOCRAT PARTY CORRUPTION
"This is how they will destroy America from
within. The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are
extravagantly wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never
be exposed to the downside of the invasion of millions of migrants, the
crime or the financial burden. They have nothing but contempt
for those of us who must endure the consequences of our communities being
intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and human
traffickers. These people have no intention of becoming Americans;
like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us." PATRICIA
McCARTHY
Democrat Corruption is a Clear and Present Danger to America
On
November 6, it seemed the Republicans might hold their majority in the Senate
and in the House. Sadly, they lost their majority in the House. The
mystery is why so many Democrat candidates who are so obviously ethically
challenged won in races that should not have even been close.
How and why do Democrats continue to vote for unqualified,
dishonest candidates? Elizabeth Warren is a proven liar, a cheat who
claimed Native American heritage in order to get a job at
Harvard. Her baby, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, was her
plan to wield control over all bank and non-bank institutions without
Congressional interference. In short, she is a
hard-left socialist who means to control how Americans earn,
spend and borrow money, how they use their savings. Warren is a
blight on the Constitution and the guaranteed freedoms of US citizens. She is
an advance operative for the socialist America the left envisions.
Andrew
Gillum, the left's choice to be Governor of Florida, is the failed mayor of
Tallahassee. He remains
under FBI investigation for corruption. Given the
information about that investigation that has been released, he appears yet
another greedy and corrupt Democrat pol in the Hillary Clinton
mold. The stability of Tallahassee declined catastrophically under
his leadership; crime
and murder rose drastically.
Gillum
sold out his city for money, and cries racism when confronted with his
crimes. He should never have been the candidate for the Governor of
Florida but the left cares only about race and power, not ethics or
honor. For progressives, race trumps everything else, even
character. If Gillum wins after the cheating Broward County is
infamous for, Florida will suffer the slings and arrows that are inevitable
under politicians like Gillum. Why was this race even
close? Have half the nation's voters scuttled any semblance
of traditional values in order to win? Yes.
Then there is Robert Menendez, the credibly accused pedophile
senator of New Jersey. He should be in prison but was saved by one
juror in his corruption trial with whom he partied after his win on November
6. Who votes for a man like this? There
is plenty of proof that he took bribes from a wealthy client for numerous
favors, trips to the Dominican Republic for sex with underage girls
being one of them. But New Jersey just re-elected this
man. They too have lost all sense of right vs. wrong.
Stacey
Abrams, the still grasping gubernatorial contender in Georgia, is a
hard-left, anti-capitalist, anti-Second Amendment candidate. She
owes about $200K in credit card debt and wants to run Georgia? She
too is corrupt and incompetent. She is also willing to cheat to win.
Are Georgians ignorant of her many, many negatives? If they are, they voted for
her anyway. Again, skin color trumps
everything.
The
left ignores fine men like John James, who ran for
the House in Michigan against Debbie Stabenow. The
left ignored Eddie Edwards who ran in
New Hampshire. Both men are conservative African
Americans. The American left today pretends such candidates do not
exist. They have ignored fine people like James and Edwards as they
have always ignored brilliant men like Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Walter
Williams, Jason Riley, and Larry Elder. They revile the brilliant
Clarence Thomas. They don't like to be reminded of men like Frederick
Douglass or Booker T.
Washington. Neither of them, like Sowell, Steele,
Williams and Elder ever promoted the idea that African Americans were or would
be perennial victims. Each of them advocated for quite the opposite,
for self-reliance and independence.
This
notion of personal responsibility is anathema to today's left; they need and
promote subservience and dependency among their flock of reliable but
uninformed voters. This is why they encourage the immigration of so
many millions of illegal migrants. They assume they will be able to win for
them the right to vote. Judging by the number of them who likely
voted in the midterms, their plan is succeeding.
This is how they will destroy America from
within. The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are
extravagantly wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never
be exposed to the downside of the invasion of millions of migrants,
the crime or the financial burden. They have nothing but
contempt for those of us who must endure the consequences of our communities
being intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and human
traffickers. These people have no intention of becoming Americans;
like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us.
Then
there is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the thoroughly-ignorant-of-everything
candidate who won her district by 80%! This young woman
knows nothing about how any government works, let alone ours. She is
hopelessly uniformed; she knows even less about US history or the
Constitution. She is clueless about the economy. When
asked how she would pay for all the give-away programs she touts, she replied
that that was a "puzzling question"! "You
just pay for it" she answers. She has no
idea; no idea about anything. She thinks she will be
"inaugurated" to the House! Most fourth graders know more
than she does about US history. And yet she is already
thinking about running for President! This is a
wholesale indictment of our politicized, dumbed-down system of
education. Many of her constituents are immigrants; we are obviously
not educating them at all. They voted for all the free stuff --
college, medical care, basic income, housing, that Ocasio-Cortez has
promised to deliver. This is what socialist Democrats dream
about: perpetual power over a populace too ignorant to
rebel. American as founded is at grave risk.
In
addition to ODasio-Cortez, Gillum, Ilhan Omar, Abrams, Sinema,
who very likely cheated to
take the Arizona Senate seat, there is Linda
Sanchez. Kirsten Gillibrand is a Hillary clone; she only
cares about her own political power. She speaks like a small child but is also
considering a run for the presidency. She was best pals with Bill
Clinton and Harvey Weinstein until they were politically
inconvenient. Amy Klobuchar, who embraced the vicious and obviously
false allegations against Judge Kavanagh, was re-elected! Like every
other Democrat member of the judiciary committee, she knew those accusations
were false, without a shred of corroboration, but her constituents re-elected
her! Who are these voters? How do they reconcile voting
for people willing to destroy a fine man for political purposes? She
is exactly who every Democrat member of that committee is, who every member of
the Democrat Party is: nothing more than power-hungry political
operatives out to ruin any and all opponents by any means
necessary. They are a clear and present danger to American as
founded.
Young
people are no longer taught the truth of American history. They are
not taught the truth of the Holocaust. Anti-Semitism
is acceptable, even promoted, by the Democrats. They
embrace Linda
Sarsour and Louis Farrakhan without
shame. Young people don't know that communism killed over a
hundred million people in the twentieth century. Their
calculated-by-leftists ignorance is destroying our country. They try
to sell the idea that gender is not a factor of biology! They
attempt to convince young people that climate change is man-made (a travesty)
and that global warming causes wild fires (a lie). Having control
over academia, they have willfully brainwashed students for nearly two
generations. Unless your children are a strong-willed, independent
thinkers, do not send them to college!
How
and why the American left has devolved into the kind of party one finds in a
banana republic is a mystery. That our media is so anxious to
promote their corrupt candidates and the low-brow
tactics they employ is a tragedy. Do they do it because they
can no longer win by promulgating their Orwellian vision of a socialist state,
mandated equality of outcome? Perhaps. They will never
sell socialism to enough sentient Americans to win. They need
millions of uninformed voters to succeed.
We must not let them cheat their way to power over the rest of
us. Their ongoing vote fraud must be stopped and the Democrats need
to take a look at themselves and at what they have become. It's not a pretty
picture. What they have become threatens to destroy the greatest
nation on the planet and they are doing it on purpose. They have
nothing but contempt for the US as founded and for those of us who love this
country.
DEMOCRACY
DIES IN A LEFTIST COUP
The best midterms that San Francisco donors
could buy.
November 15, 2018
Daniel Greenfield, a
Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative
journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
After President Trump
took office, the Washington Post announced its new motto,
“Democracy dies in darkness.” But it was the Washington Post, not
Trump, that was guilty of undermining democracy.
President Trump had been
legitimately elected by a majority of states. The Washington Post was
an establishment paper in a government city owned by a dot com robber baron.
There’s nothing more undemocratic than a paper owned by the richest man in the
world working to overturn an election.
There was just as little
democracy to the midterm elections in which wealthy donors from blue states and
districts poured money into local races in red and purple states and
districts. San Francisco and New York billionaires buying elections in
Pennsylvania and Nevada is not democracy. It’s oligarchy.
American elected
officials were meant to be elected by local communities to serve their needs.
Instead the Left has nationalized local races by exploiting its cultural power.
And when that didn’t produce the immediate results that it wanted, began
overwhelming local elections with huge piles of outside cash.
The midterm elections
were the best elections that San Francisco donors could buy.
Senate Democrats picked
up $220 million in out-of-state donations these midterms. That huge pile of
cash also amounted to sixty percent of their haul. The
majority of Dem Senate cash came from donors who weren’t living in the states
they were running in, but who were trying to buy elections for them.
That’s the Washington
Post brand of democracy.
It’s not just Senate
races being bought up by out-of-state donors. 45% of House Dem money came from
out-of-state donors. And when they didn’t succeed in buying a local election
the first time, they just kept on pouring in more money into a district until
they got their way.
Last year, Democrats
poured in $22.5 million into a special election in Georgia’s
6th congressional district. 95% of the donations came from
out-of-state donors. Democrat Jon Ossoff received more donations from California than Georgia. Ossoff still lost to
Rep. Karen Handel, even though her donations amounted to only a fraction of his
ActBlue bucks.
But the same donors just
waited a year and bought the seat for Lucy McBath in the midterms.
In October, Lucy McBath
was appearing at the Writers Guild Theater in Los Angeles hosted by Hollywood
royalty like Katzenberg, Tony Goldwyn and Cameron Crowe for a $500 a head
fundraiser.
A large chunk of outside
money behind McBath came from Michael Bloomberg. McBath touted his gun control
positions and the New York billionaire’s front groups put $4.5 million behind his lackey.
There’s nothing
democratic about Bloomberg buying the 6th the way he once bought Gracie
Mansion.
In Illinois' 13th
Congressional District, Betsy Dirksen Londrigan pulled in $1.7 million to Rep.
Rodney Davis' $700K in a three month period. And then outside groups poured in
nearly as much again in support of Londrigan. $300K of that money came from
California.
In Nevada, out-of-state
donors bought Jacky Rosen a senate seat. 85% of the radical lefty
candidate’s donations came from outside the state. Of her 5 top donor zip
codes, two were in New York, two in California, including Palo Alto, and the
odd zip code out was in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
The media frequently airs
complaints about how little political power New York and California have per
capita compared to a handful of small states. These complaints are not only
cynically specious, they ignore the fact that between the media’s messaging
force multipliers and the bicoastal wealth being used to buy elections,
political power has become as concentrated as economic and cultural power.
And that’s the opposite
of democracy.
The midterms weren’t a
populist wave. They were an angry tantrum by wealthy blue state donors who used
their money to buy local elections as payback for having their views ignored in
2016. Instead of listening to the rest of the country, they set out to buy it,
lock, stock and barrel. They found experts, consultants, strategists,
programmers and organizers who would buy them other people’s elections.
Much of their money was
wasted. Just ask Beto O’Rourke and his $70 million war chest. But their
hysterical frenzy of spending made an undeniable impact. If you throw enough
mud or money at an election, eventually it sticks. The Democrat raised nearly
$1 billion to take the House.
And they took it.
$166.8 million was pumped into 30 House
Democrat candidates. That’s compared to $90.7 million for the Republican
candidates in those races.
The most expensive
midterm elections in history paid off for Democrats. And there’s nothing
democratic about that.
Democracy doesn’t die in
darkness. It dies in the glare of lefty media, lefty money and lefty power which
strip away local issues and local agency in Arizona, Illinois, Pennsylvania and
Florida. Big blue state donors bought the midterm elections to send a message
to President Trump. Many had been convinced by frenzied media hit pieces in
papers like the Washington Post that action was desperately
urgent.
When the Washington
Post, the rest of the media and their long tail of ActBlue donors
intervene in local elections, it doesn’t uphold democracy. It drowns it in the
bright actinic glare of flashes and floodlights.
The media postures as a
defender of democracy, but corporate media is more naturally a defender of
establishments, of the nostrums and platitudes of the elites whom it serves and
coddles. When it interferes in elections, it doesn’t do so for the sake of the
people, but for the sake of its people.
Political elites mistrust
the people and use the media to manipulate popular elections into endorsing
their unpopular agendas. The mainstream media is an inherently undemocratic
institution that amplifies elite voices at the expense of local communities. It
claims to be democratic only because it reinterprets democracy to mean the
political agendas of the Democrats rather than those of the people.
Lefties often misuse
democracy to mean a set of values while actual democracy, the vox populi, is
tarred as populism. But democracy isn’t a set of social issues. It’s the power
shift between the voters and elected officials. Big media and blue state
billionaires have shifted that balance away from local voters by buying local
elections and seeking new voters when the old won’t vote their way.
If a few million in
attack ads won’t influence local voters, you register new ones. If that doesn’t
work, then you legalize felons. And if that won’t do it, there are the illegal
aliens, and voter and ballot fraud. Buy a few secretary of state races. Set up
housing for out-of-state college students. Sign up aliens to vote. And then
even if the local voters don’t vote your way, it won’t matter. They’ll have
been outvoted.
This isn’t democracy. But
it is how Democrats have won some local races.
The shift away from local
voters to a national political infrastructure is undemocratic. But it neatly
fits into the larger leftist cause of centralizing all of politics (and all
other areas of life) in elitist strongholds. The partnerships between elitist
leaders and their local crony stakeholders act as a fig leaf for the
dismantling of local autonomy with performative diversity replacing
representational democracy.
The Democrats have waged
an undemocratic war on democracy in the name of democracy. The midterms were the
latest leftist coup against democracy. And democracy lost to the Left.

“Open border advocates, such as
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to
California with little evidence to support such an assertion. As the CIS has
documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few
skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting them
access to dozens of welfare programs benefit California’s economy? If illegals
were contributing to the economy in any meaningful way, CA, with its 2.6
million illegals, would be booming.” STEVE BALDWIN – AMERICAN SPECTATOR

"America’s elites, now overwhelmingly represented by the
Democratic Party, have a single overriding interest: their self-indulgent
lifestyle."
Class Conflict within the
Democratic Party
Over many decades, the American Left, the Democratic Party and
their mutual propaganda arm, the self-styled “mainstream media,” have
successfully portrayed conservatives and the Republican Party as a coalition of
the wealthy and intolerant. Further, the Democrats and the left have
claimed that they are the true champions of the working or middle class as they
unceasingly fight to defeat and marginalize this evil menace.
The reality, however, is that this cabal has virtually no interest
in defending or aiding the working class as they are, in fact, the party of a
bifurcated constituency: the wealthy and those dependent on the largess of the
government.
America’s elites, now overwhelmingly represented by the Democratic
Party, have a single overriding interest: their self-indulgent
lifestyle. This
is manifested in their mistaken belief that conservatives (i.e. the “right”)
are hell bent on enforcing their version of morality on the nation, thus
potentially calling into question the lifestyles of the rich and
solipsistic.
The veracity of this claim is immaterial as it would require an
element of deliberation not emotion -- a trait in extremely short supply
among the nation’s privileged class, nearly all of whom have difficulty in
generating an original thought due to the ill-education rampant in America’s
universities. Thus, the mindless accusations of racism, misogyny and
Fascism directed at the conservative rubes in middle America are acceptable,
and in far too many instances believed, particularly as many had the temerity
to vote for Donald Trump – who, although wealthy and Ivy League educated, is
considered the ultimate unsophisticated rube.
As conservatives are the dominant force in the Republican Party
and this nation cannot function politically with more than two major political
parties, the alternative is the Democratic Party. An entity dominated by the
American Left, an assemblage whose core philosophy is antithetical to the
interests of the wealthy and privileged. Yet, determined to protect their
lifestyles and vilify conservatives, they willingly ally with the left and
overwhelmingly support virtually any Democratic candidate. In the recent
2018 mid-terms, Democratic House candidates outspent their Republican opponents
by a two to one margin thanks primarily to this wealthy but myopic
assemblage.
Their colleagues in the Democratic Party, and the preponderance of
the membership, are those dependent on the largess of the federal and state
governments. On the other hand, the growing segment of the citizenry who
are working and self-sufficient are increasingly joining those who believe in
limited government in migrating to the Republican Party-- a process that is
accelerating with the policies and tactics of Donald Trump in combating the
entrenched left and their determination to culturally and economically
transform the nation. The Republican Party will inevitably become the
party of the working or middle class. As such, they could potentially
dominate the political agenda for the foreseeable future.
The left and the Democratic Party, in order to offset this
possibility, must aggressively seek to increase the number of dependents by
promoting the legalization and ultimate citizenship for untold millions of
illegal immigrants and promising all Americans cradle to grave economic
security. In order to enact this strategy to defeat the Republicans, the
left must have the active participation and financial support of the nation’s
wealthy-- which they have.
The Democratic Party has evolved into essentially an incompatible
two-tier class-driven entity encompassing the nation’s wealthiest and the
nation’s poorest. Nonetheless, it is at present a convenient home for the
elites to hold off the imaginary horde of conservatives outside their gilded
doors.
However, the voting numbers within the party are overwhelmingly
with those who generally support the leftist philosophies of redistribution
(e.g. socialized medicine and guaranteed incomes) and curtailing of freedom
(e.g. speech, assembly and religion). While it may not manifest itself to
the affluent who have cast their lot with the Democrats, the redistribution of
wealth must, by necessity, come from the wealthy, as that is where the bulk of
the nation’s wealth resides. It is also this same small-in-numbers
group that benefits the most from freedom of speech and assembly.
Once fully embroiled in this marriage of convenience, a divorce
will be impossible as the co-inhabitant of the Democratic Party, the dependent
class, must continue grow in order to electorally defeat the Republicans and
protect the left’s agenda. Further, the oversold expectations promulgated
by the left will never be satisfied regardless of how many promises are made or
token redistributive programs are enacted by the current ruling class.
Only a complete transformation of this nation into a failed socialist state
will satiate the left, their acolytes and their attendant army of
dependency. A goal more in reach than ever thanks to the inability of the
nation’s elites to give a damn about the future of the country.
There is not a more short-sighted and self-absorbed group of
citizens in this nation than the white, wealthy well-educated urban and
suburban voters. They
are willing to rend the fabric of this nation in order to protect their
privilege and lifestyle. While the vast majority of Americans will
ultimately pay the price, the current ruling class and their progeny will have
far more to lose.
