Needless to say, Mitt Romney marched with the corrupt and Marxist-led Black Lives Matter movement saying that “we have to stand up and say ‘black lives matter,’” not apparently grasping, first, that no one denies that Black lives matter (except the people that turn a blind eye to the constant massacre of black lives in Democrat-run cities and abortion mills), and that marching with the greedy Marxists in BLM does nothing to protect black lives. However, Mitt did accomplish his primary goal and got his pretty virtue-signaling face on camera again.
BLM Activist Charged With Fraud over Allegedly Missing Donations on Statue Smasher Fundraising Page
A Black Lives Matter activist in Bristol, England has been charged with fraud in connection to allegedly missing money from a fundraising page established to provide legal fees for those who toppled the statue of Edward Colston.
Avon and Somerset Police announced this week that BLM activist Xahra Saleem, 22, has been charged with two counts of fraud over two fundraising pages and will appear before a magistrates court in Bristol in January, the Bristol Post reported.
The first charge relates to allegedly missing money from the ‘Bristol Protesters Legal Fees’ fund that was set up after the statue 17th century merchant and parliamentarian Edward Colston was toppled, defaced, and pushed into Bristol Harbour in June of 2020 following the death of George Floyd.
Colston became a subject of ire for local left-wing activists over his connections to the slave trade, a practice that was widely accepted during his lifetime and was later stamped out internationally by the British Empire, which became the first major power to abolish the practice and paid dearly in blood and treasure to shut down other powers’ slave routes.
The tearing down of the Colston statue in Bristol came amid nationwide unrest from Black Lives Matter activists in 2020, with other statues honouring Sir Winston Churchill, Queen Victoria, and the national war memorial, among others, also being targeted for vandalisation.
Despite not denying their role in the toppling of the Colston statue, four defendants were acquitted by a jury earlier this year after their lawyers argued that they were on the “right side of history“.
Saleem was also charged for fraud in relation to the ‘BristBLM’ GoFundMe page that was set up in June of 2020 after donation money allegedly went missing.
The crowdfunding pitch had reportedly promised to donate the proceeds to the local youth charity, Changing Your Mindset. However, the money allegedly never made its way to the charity, which had intended to send local teenagers on a trip to West Africa with the funds. Police initially made the arrest following allegations made by the charity.
This week a spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: “A woman is due in court at the start of next year after the Crown Prosecution Service authorised charges following a fraud investigation.
“Xahra Saleem, 22 and from East London, has been charged with two counts of fraud by abuse of position. She is due before Bristol Magistrates Court on Tuesday 3 January 2023.”

Republican Leadership Worse than Worthless
Republican Party Staves Off Red Wave, Babylon Bee Headline, Nov. 9, 2022
With people all across the country afraid to walk the streets because of high crime, inflation at a 40-year high due to D.C.’s profligate spending, 13 U.S. service members blown to bits in Afghanistan and a hundred more injured while Afghans fell to their deaths as they frantically held onto the landing gears of departing aircraft, unknown people from all over the world, including terrorists, pouring across the southern border and a record number dead in the last 12 months, serious warnings about the possibility of nuclear war as North Korea resumes its nuclear program and ballistic missile tests that were suspended under Trump, China threatening Taiwan and humiliating the United States on U.S. territory, a president, the self-described great uniter, who, when he is not yelling at people or whispering like a psychopath in a “slasher film,” tries to shake hands with people who are not there, a vice president, Kamala Harris, whose most profound statement concerns her paean to her school-day memories of yellow school buses, the Republican Party cannot even come close to winning the usual number of congressional seats in an off-year mid-term election. Naturally, Republican “leadership” who began gloating early, never saw this coming.
Part of the many reasons for this spectacular failure is the excessive amount of help Republican “leadership” gave to the Democrats. Republicans have brilliantly supported the Democrat push for early voting and mail-in ballots that even Jimmy Carter’s commission concluded is ripe for cheating, and which the Democrats have used since the pandemic to defeat Republicans. Apparently, this never occurred to Republican leaders who went along with it all.
In the aftermath of the Uvalde massacre, caused primarily by the failures of school officials and the local police, Mitch McConnell and ten other Republicans — John Cornyn (TX), Thom Tillis (NC), Roy Blunt (MS), Rob Portman (OH), Lindsey Graham (SC), Richard Burr (NC), Pat Toomey (PA), Susan Collins (ME), Mitt Romney (UT) and Bill Cassidy (LA) — all eager to virtue-signal and show how much they care, agreed to the Democrat framework for gun control, not understanding that the problem of gun violence in America is a moral problem rooted in the destruction of the family, the proliferation of drugs, thugs and a “gang culture” in which rebellion and violence are glorified; not a problem with the inanimate hardware per se.
Needless to say, Mitt Romney marched with the corrupt and Marxist-led Black Lives Matter movement saying that “we have to stand up and say ‘black lives matter,’” not apparently grasping, first, that no one denies that Black lives matter (except the people that turn a blind eye to the constant massacre of black lives in Democrat-run cities and abortion mills), and that marching with the greedy Marxists in BLM does nothing to protect black lives. However, Mitt did accomplish his primary goal and got his pretty virtue-signaling face on camera again.
In the run-up to the 2022 election, Mitch McConnell came out, and naturally not in private where it would be most appropriate, but rather in public to provide the Democrats a great talking point, and disparaged many of the Republican senate candidates as “bad candidates.” One of those ‘terrible’ candidates, J.D. Vance, just won handily in Ohio and another, Arizona’s Blake Masters, who yesterday, was closely behind his Democrat opponent — Masters sure could have used some of the money McConnell sent to Alaska to defeat a Trump-Republican. That race has since been called in favor of radical leftist, Mark Kelly. McConnell seems more interested in defeating Trump-affiliated firebrands than he is in defeating Democrats.
After winning a major victory when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Lindsey Graham, two months before the Nov. 2022 election, brilliantly announced his intent to introduce a bill, that had no chance whatsoever to become law at the time, to ban all abortions nationwide after 15 weeks, not in the least worried that this would energize the Democrat base. In fact, and despite the pollsters who still cannot get anything right, it turns out that this did energize young women to turn out in massive numbers and vote for Democrats. Unfortunately, Lindsey does not appear to grasp that one cannot get any of one’s programs enacted into law unless one gets elected first, this being, apparently, too deep for him. Lindsay did, of course, accomplish his major goal of getting his pretty face on camera emotionally stating how much he cares. Perhaps this brilliance will propel Lindsey to a presidential run in 2024!
Christie Roberts, the executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee admitted that “We [Democrats] had no business being in the hunt to hold the majority [in Congress] in this environment” but we “couldn’t have outperformed history without some help from the GOP,” specifically, without “the GOP’s recruitment stumbles… forcing Republicans to narrow their sights because of money woes.”
The feckless behavior by Republicans by no means began recently. In 2012 the Republicans picked Mitt Romney as their presidential candidate. Unfortunately, Mitt did not seem to know what his message was and did not seem particularly interested in winning.
Mitt’s disastrous campaign followed the 2008 election when the Republicans nominated John McCain to run against Barack the Great. Unfortunately, McCain did not seem particularly interested in winning either. His running mate, Sarah Palin, stated that “those elitist brainiacs in the GOP-machine running the campaign” forbid her from bringing up Obama’s radical associations with Rev. Wright (“God damn America!”), and former terrorist-turned-beloved University of Chicago lecturer, Bill Ayers: “Couldn’t talk about that. Couldn’t talk about Obama’s lack of knowledge and job inexperience and the things he said like America had 57 states, [etc.].” The star-struck McCain appeared to be content to lose gracefully, thereby showing that he is a good person. Newsweek asked at the time if McCain’s campaign was “the worst ever”.
In 2016 Trump defied all the geniuses on both sides of the aisle, and in the “news” media, by breaking with recent Republican tradition and actually trying to win, for which he has never been forgiven — in fact, winning the presidency by more than 300 electoral votes by taking Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and almost Minnesota! Naturally, this could not be tolerated, and the knives came out on both sides to either remove him from office or at the very least, hobble him via a series of silly hoaxes.
The current Republican leadership, as demonstrated in the recent election, cannot, employing a basketball analogy, even make a “lay-up.” This is partly because politics is the one area where one can “fail up” (be rewarded for failure). But one must wonder if these empty suits, being quite happy with their present position on the D.C. gravy train, even want to win.
They need to go, replaced by strong people determined to win, but not before getting down on their hands and knees and apologizing to the American people and Republican voters for their staggering incompetence and entrenched determination to fail.

Survey: Corporate Diversity Drives Discrimination Against White Americans
Hiring managers face top-level corporate pressure to reject white job candidates in favor of non-white applicants, says a survey of 1,000 managers by a job-finding firm.
The company, ResumeBuilder.com, surveyed 1,000 hiring managers across the United States in November “to find out how many believe “reverse discrimination” is really an issue affecting their workplace,” the company said on November 7:
Key findings include:
52% believe their company practices “reverse discrimination” in hiring
1 in 6 have been asked to deprioritize hiring white men
48% have been asked to prioritize diversity over qualifications
53% believe their job will be in danger if they don’t hire enough diverse employees
70% believe their company has DEI initiatives for appearances’ sake
The “DEI” term is a variant of the Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity agenda pushed by executives and woke HR staffers in many companies.
The survey was launched by ResumeBuilder, and conducted via the Pollfish polling company:
This survey was commissioned by ResumeBuilder.com and conducted online by the survey platform Pollfish on November 2, 2022. In total, 1,000 participants in the U.S. were surveyed. All participants had to pass through demographic filters to ensure they were age 18 or older, currently employed for wages or self-employed, and manage at least 25% of the hiring at their workplace. For full survey results, please contact pr@resumebuilder.com.
ResumeBuilder.com did not respond to questions from Breitbart News.
Federal officials use court-enforced civic regulation — dubbed “civil rights law” — to grow the number of non-white people and immigrants in jobs sought by Americans, including many white job-seekers.
For example, the federal government penalizes companies that try to hire native-born Americans, and it usually ignores Fortune 500 companies that discriminate against Americans to hire non-white immigrants. In October 2021, the federal government imposed a very small fine of $14 million on Facebook amid evidence the company’s HR managers routinely used the federal visa-workers rules to preferentially hire cheap and compliant foreign workers instead of skilled American professionals.
Pressure to Hire Diverse, Resume Builder
In turn, that federal diversity goal is enforced by executives and by “woke” managers in company H.R. departments.
In October 2020, Bloomberg Law reported that “Diversity-Fueled ‘Reverse’ Bias Claims Put Employers in Quandary”:
… companies including Adidas AG, The Boeing Co., and Alphabet Inc.’s Google promised to increase their hiring of people of color and promote better inclusion, in the wake of escalated racial tensions that followed the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis this summer.
Quotas and hiring preferences that exclude groups based on race or sex generally are illegal under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. But diversity efforts, when done correctly, don’t need to be abandoned because of the fear of potential “reverse” discrimination liability, attorneys say.
The discrimination problem is exacerbated by federal visa-worker programs that allow companies to employ at least 1.5 million non-white, cheap foreign visa workers instead of skilled American professionals.
Max from Philadelphia told Breitbart News about his circumstances in a Fortune 500 company:
One guy is from China, the entire rest of the department is from India. … [and] all of our project managers are offshore in India now … [and] We’re starting to just hire more and more people in India.
In a prior job, Mike said, the flow of migrant workers allowed executives to push American professionals out of well-paid jobs:
That manager … told me “[Max], this is just the [strategy]: We treat you like crap, we don’t give you raises, we wait for you to either quit or to lose your temper. You lost your temper. We get to fire you. It’s just a game.” He literally told me those words.
The result is widespread underemployment among skilled American graduates, according to a September 2021 report by the Census Department.
The vast majority (62%) of [American] college-educated workers who majored in a STEM [science, technology, engineering and math] field were employed in non-STEM fields such as non-STEM management, law, education, social work, accounting or counseling …The path to STEM jobs for non-STEM majors was narrow. Only a few STEM-related majors (7%) and non-STEM majors (6%) ultimately ended up in STEM occupations.
The widespread replacement of Americans during the past 20 years had kept salaries flat, while also helping to spike stock values for Fortune 500 companies.
The inflow of foreign workers also changes the politics in Americans’ workplaces. The cliquish foreign workers — including foreign-born HR staffers — often try to get Americans fired so they can quietly sell the job to someone in their ethnic network, according to comments from several American tech workers. The skewed, non-professional politics of the so-called “green-card workforce” has deeply damaged companies such as Intel, Boeing, and Theranos.
