'Prostitution Rings' and 'Astronomical' Sums of Money: Rep Nancy Mace Describes Bank Reports on Biden Family Business Dealings
Republican representative Nancy Mace (S.C.) said Wednesday that she reviewed "over 100 suspicious activity reports on the Biden family," which show the Bidens' business dealings with "astronomical" sums of money.
"Every time you unturn, overturn, or look under a stone, there's so much more you have to investigate," Mace said in a video posted to Twitter. Not only do the reports show "astronomical" amounts of money, she said, but they also detail "the source of the funding, where the money's going, the shell companies, prostitution rings, etc."
"It's insanity to me that it's not been investigated in the way that it should be," the congresswoman said.
Mace sits on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, which is investigating the first family's murky business dealings. Committee chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) last month said that President Joe Biden "lied to the American people" about a Chinese company's payments to first son Hunter Biden. The committee's investigation has determined that the Chinese company made payments to the president's brother, son, and daughter-in-law, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
After "two months of dragging their feet," according to Comer, Treasury Department officials released the suspicious activity reports, which banks filed against Biden family members, last month. Comer also announced in March that, following a Free Beacon report, the committee is talking to a think-tank executive who says the Bidens warned a Chinese businessman about a looming federal investigation, allowing the businessman to flee the country.
Evidence shows that Hunter Biden's suspicious business partners had extensive dealings with Joe Biden, Mace said last week.
"This is corruption at its core," she told Fox News.
Biden’s Susceptibility to Blackmail has Unleashed Domestic and International Chaos
It has often been speculated what would happen to this nation if a decadently compromised president who willingly succumbed to extortion from both domestic and foreign interests were elected. That possibility is no longer in the realm of speculation. For the past 27 months the United States has experienced this devastating eventuality, as no president in this nation’s history has been as susceptible to domestic and international blackmail as Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.
Nonetheless, in their unbridled hubris, the Democrats' puppet masters turned to Joe Biden whom they could portray as a “moderate” in order to defeat Donald Trump.
While Trump was in office this same cabal vociferously proclaimed that “A president openly susceptible to blackmail cannot serve.” In a stunning example of hypocrisy, they chose the most susceptible president in American history. However, they failed to understand that the Communist Chinese and Marxist penchant for using political blackmail to achieve their objectives would determine the fate of the country during his presidency.
The hubris of the American ruling class and venality on the part of Joe Biden has placed the United States in the position of being humiliated and extorted by the Chinese Communists, who have bribed his son, family and ultimately him. Once Biden became president, the Chinese expected reciprocity with the unspoken reality of their exposing the depth of his duplicitous and potentially treasonous activity hanging over his head.
At the beginning of the Biden presidency in a March 2021 summit meeting, Chinese diplomats, in an unimaginable breech of diplomatic protocol, publicly lectured and deliberately humiliated the Biden Administration. Biden’s response was to claim the meeting went well and the Chinese delegation really didn’t mean what they said. He essentially telegraphed to Beijing that he understood they owned him.
China shamelessly continues their 3-year refusal to explain why and how their virology lab in Wuhan was the epicenter of the Covid-19 virus. They know that Biden and his administration will not seriously press them on the issue or hold them responsible for the pandemic.
China unapologetically and defiantly flew a surveillance balloon across the country to spy on key military bases knowing full well there would be no repercussions. Not only were there no repercussions, Biden, in defending the Chinese, unabashedly lied to the American people about what they were doing.
Mexico, France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, all once solid American allies are openly criticizing and moving away from the United States as they and a growing list of countries are cozying up to China recognizing not only China’s growing global influence but that Xi Jinping, not Joe Biden, effectively dictates United States foreign policy.
China, in alliance with Russia, India, and multiple African and South American countries, is determined to eliminate the U.S. Dollar as the global reserve currency. A potentially devastating blow to the American people and the U.S. economy effectively relegating the country to second-tier global status. Biden has given China the green light by dutifully choosing to ignore China’s tactics and the long-term consequences to America.
Meanwhile, China is dramatically expanding its influence in Africa, South America and the South Pacific region as well as taking over the dominant role the United States has maintained for decades in the always volatile Middle East. Thus, China is effectively isolating and surrounding the United States while, not unsurprisingly, Biden is not pushing back or developing any counterstrategy.
Tellingly, Xi Jinping smugly watches Biden grovel before him, ignores his requests for talks and meetings and not so subtly reminds Biden that he has the dirt on him and will expose it if necessary.
The devastating and dangerous state of America’s foreign policy, the unabashed obeisance to China, the undermining of the U.S. Dollar, and the exponentially increasing belligerence by China raises the question: to what degree has Biden’s acquiescence to being blackmailed precipitated these actions? The answer: virtually all of it.
In July of 2020 Biden signed on to a Unity Platform with Bernie Sanders. By doing so he committed to not deviate from it and that he would agree to any and all further demands out of fear of having the American Marxist-controlled legacy and social media expose him and thus force him out of office. Among the commitments made and kept in the unity platform:
- The repeal, by executive order, of all of Trump’s border policies including the stoppage of the wall construction, the elimination of the “Remain in Mexico” policy, and a moratorium of deportations. In essence an open and uncontrolled border allows untold millions to pour in illegally.
- The elimination of fossil fuels by 2030. Using executive orders: to stop the construction of new pipelines, to curtail leases on public lands, to force financial institutions to stop investing in fossil fuel companies and to promote limitless government investment in so-called “renewable energy” and impractical electric vehicles.
- Unlimited spending on new and existing social programs which included housing, infrastructure, welfare, as well as the left-wing’s wish list of funding for left-wing non-government organizations and unions, the undermining and future elimination of charter schools and private school vouchers, and higher taxes on businesses and the nebulously defined wealthy.
Once these commitments were made and Biden elected, the left’s radical cultural agenda was presented to Biden as a fait accompli. As he did with keeping his commitments in the Unity Platform, Biden has dutifully promoted the censorship of speech, unlimited abortion rights, gun control and the entirety of the LGBTQIA+ agenda including the unconscionable mutilation of naïve and impressionable adolescents.
Biden has signed legislation demanded by the radical left resulting in over $5+ Trillion dollars in new spending, thus greatly exacerbating inflation and accelerating the demise of the American economy. At the behest of the American Marxists, Biden has nominated unqualified radical left-wing judges to the federal judiciary and appointed incompetent buffoons to his cabinet.
Biden will continue to promote the American Marxists’ agenda and acquiesce to Communist China’s global ambitions regardless of the devastating long-term damage to the country as continuing to occupy the Oval Office is far more important to him. Biden knows that if he toes the party line domestically and kowtows to China, that the truth about his and his family’s duplicitous and treasonous behavior will continue to be suppressed and investigations muted.
By allowing Biden to remain in office the American ruling class is effectively greenlighting the American Marxists’ determination to transform America as well as China’s march to global hegemony resulting in the demise of the United States as the preeminent global power.
Americans need never wonder again what would happen with a chief executive egregiously susceptible and willingly acquiescent to political blackmail. Biden has done virtually everything he has been told to do and in the process created societal turmoil, stagflation, systemic uncertainty and global chaos.
The ruling class is solely responsible for Biden unleashing the American Marxists on the country and abetting the Communist Chinese in their determination to achieve global hegemony. Consequently, they must force Biden to resign now before the chaos is irreversible and openly admit their culpability.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene is accurate, what she says about Biden is mind-blowing
Hunter Biden’s hard drive, which he’s now conceded is legitimate, proved that Hunter was an exceptionally debauched character. Drugs and prostitutes dominated his life for a long time, and his own family didn’t trust him around teenage girls. That’s why it’s easy to believe Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s as-yet unsubstantiated claim that the Biden family was benefitting from human trafficking both in the U.S. and Eastern Europe—including Russia and Ukraine. Just because she says it doesn’t mean it’s true, so the real shock is that we live in a world in which it seems possible, even likely.
It took a strong stomach to watch the videos and view the photographs on Hunter’s hard drive. They revealed a compulsively exhibitionistic man who couldn’t stop recording himself smoking crack, sniffing cocaine, and cavorting with prostitutes, some of whom looked as if they fell into the statutory rape category. Moreover, the laptop revealed that, when Hunter requested money from his Dad (the current Oval Office occupant) to fund this debauchery, Dad paid up.
What the laptop also revealed, despite Biden’s strenuous denials, is that Joe was involved in Hunter’s many business dealings. We know this because Hunter’s staffers, business partners, and prospects were all welcomed into Joe’s vice-presidential office.
Image: Marjorie Taylor Greene. Twitter screen grab.
Now, thanks to Republican control over the House of Representatives, we’re getting an insight into the fact that all members of the Biden family may have received money from Hunter’s many business deals, including those with Ukraine and China. In March, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) reported that, in addition to the money Hunter and James Biden were pocketing through the family influence-peddling business, Hallie Biden (widow of Beau Biden and drug-addicted girlfriend of Hunter Biden) was also getting a cut.
Then, on Monday, Rep. Comer revealed that even more Bidens were on the take:
Six more members of the Biden clan may have benefitted from the family’s various business schemes, bringing the total number of kin implicated up to nine, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed Monday.
The findings come after the Kentucky GOP congressman and other lawmakers on the panel examined suspicious activity reports sent by banks to the Treasury Department alerting of potential criminal activity in transactions involving President Biden’s family.
“Thousands of pages of financial records related to the Biden family, their companies, and associates’ business schemes were made available to members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which confirm the importance of this investigation,” Comer said in a statement.
“The Biden family enterprise is centered on Joe Biden’s political career and connections, and it has generated an exorbitant amount of money for the Biden family. We’ve identified six additional members of Joe Biden’s family who may have benefited from the Biden family’s businesses that we are investigating, bringing the total number of those involved or benefiting to nine,” he said.
In a way, that’s kind of ho-hum stuff. Peter Schweizer long ago detailed the Biden family grift, all of which revolved around Biden’s political positions in the Senate and the Vice President’s office.
Yesterday, though, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (D-GA) added something unexpected to the businesses from which the Bidens profited. According to her, in addition to money coming to the Bidens from various foreign countries,
I just saw evidence of human trafficking. This involved prostitutes not only from here in the United States, but foreign countries like Russia and Ukraine. This is unbelievable that a President and a former Vice President, not only his son Hunter Biden, but many more family members extending past Hunter Biden and his immediate family.
As I noted, there is no way to know whether Greene is correctly interpreting the information the House committee is reviewing. The sad state in which America finds itself, though, is that everyone who hears this claim asks some variation of this rhetorical question: “Would that be a surprise?”
The answer, of course, is no. Given the Biden family’s rapacity, Joe’s penchant for sniffing and fondling little girls, and Hunter’s well-known and self-documented debauchery, it’s only too easy to believe that America’s president has enriched himself and his family through human trafficking.
Biden is the most amoral President in US history
The President pretends to be Catholic but clearly does not live by Catholic tenets. He supports abortion up until the moment of birth. This past week, he sent a cease-and-desist letter to the priests who have been ministering to Catholic patients at Walter Reed Hospital. He intends to contract outside persons to provide Catholic ministry. While VP, he supported the persecution of the Little Sisters of the Poor for refusing to provide abortion services to their employees. In short, he is about as Catholic and Christian as Nancy Pelosi, another faux Catholic, a classic elitist who has nothing but contempt for actual Catholics, actual Christians.
There are years of evidence, including from Biden’s own daughter’s diary, that Biden is a pedophile or at least has pedophilic tendencies. He cannot keep his hands off young female children; he fondles and sniffs them. Tara Reade’s account of his molestation of her years ago is credible. The man is pond scum.
Whenever he speaks of his deceased son Beau, who died of a brain tumor, he blames his death on the burn pits of Iraq where Beau served 2008 - 2009. That could be true. The military had long used burn pits to dispose of all manner of waste, much of it obviously toxic. How does one explain, then, his total and complete lack of interest in the train derailment that subjected the citizens of East Palestine, Ohio, to the consequences of a de facto burn pit? He did not visit. He barely mentioned it. He did not send the hapless Buttigieg or his EPA head, Michael Regan, until shamed into it. Neither of them acquitted themselves well. Both of them made it clear they did not want to be there, nor did they have any sympathy for the victims who are very likely to suffer for decades as Beau Biden did.
Biden’s open border is a human catastrophe of horrific proportions. The day he was inaugurated, he opened our southern border to all comers, encouraging migrants from all over the world to sacrifice everything to make their way to the US. Thousands of them die on the journey. The women and children are raped and trafficked.
Meanwhile, the cartels have become richer than Bill Gates. The cartels control both sides of the border with Biden’s acquiescence. Thousands of migrants are being bussed or flown into cities throughout America every day. It's a massive operation to alter the demographics of the US. It’s part of the globalist plan.
The sadly mentally incapacitated Biden is a tool of the worst people on the planet: the Communist Party of China and the Machiavellian scoundrels of the WEF. He has led us into WWIII; it has begun, which must be clear to every American paying attention. Biden’s weakness has reverberated throughout the world. His thwarting of our energy independence, his absurd implementation of all the covid restrictions that submarined the US economy and his vaccine mandates that have killed thousands will be his legacy.
This President’s obsession with LGBT issues, especially the transgenderism of children, proves his evil intent beyond all other issues. Neither he nor Kamala Harris could be bothered to visit or even speak to the grief of the families of the victims of the Nashville murder of six people, three of them children. Instead, they used the tragic event to boost support for transgendered persons, all of whom suffer from mental illness in one form or another. Numerous school shootings have been committed by trans kids who suffer from gender dysphoria and almost always on drugs, legal and/or illegal. Both Harris and the White House spoke of their pride and support of the “trans community” and the “Tennessee Three,” who mounted a nearly violent insurrection in their State House to ignominiously screech for gun control, as if taking guns away from good people would prevent such mass attacks. They nearly always occur in gun-free zones. These idiotic activists know this and do not care. They seem to be determined that only criminals have guns, as they most assuredly will if in a gun-free zone.
Joe Biden has been corrupt for all his years in Congress. What is so maddening is that everyone in Congress, in the DC world of politics, have always known this. They’ve all known he was rather dim, a racist (Strom Thurmond was his mentor), a plagiarist, and a consummate and compulsive liar. The list of his oft repeated, provable lies is too long to list but he was at it again while in Ireland this week; he has never “traveled 17k miles with Xi.” Clearly he can’t help himself; he has a serious pathological problem.
Biden is a dim bulb and the people who engineered his installation as president surely knew that. Whoever his handlers are, they committed many serious crimes, many breaches of the Constitution, to rig the election, secure in the knowledge that “they,” whoever they are, would be running the show. They surely knew that Biden is a schlump, an empty suit, a man without a moral core; a man they could manipulate and manipulate him they certainly have.
There is more than enough proof that Biden is indebted to China; his family has been fabulously enriched by the CCP’s purchase of his servility. He is indebted to Ukraine as well but is repaying their generosity by using the Ukrainian people as cannon fodder in his misguided proxy war against Putin.
Biden will go down in history as the most corrupt, the most nationally and globally disastrous and the dumbest President in American history. If we are to prevail as a constitutional republic, the American people better wake-up and fight for everything they cherish – family, freedom and basic human and civil rights – or it will be gone in the blink of an eye. It began with Obama and that crowd is determined to carry out their plan to transform America. They’ve been remarkably successful to the detriment of us all.

It is Biden, Obama, and other leftists who continually seek to divide the country, not Trump
The Washington Post a few days ago highlighted a just-published book by its former columnist Thomas Edsall, now at the New York Times. The book’s publisher, Princeton University Press, writes:
Thomas Byrne Edsall fears that the country may be headed over a cliff, arguing that the election of Donald Trump was the most serious threat to the American political system since the Civil War. In this compelling and illuminating book, Edsall documents how the Trump years ravaged the nation’s politics, culture, and social order.
This analysis is a crock. Democrats have been seeking to divide the country by race, sex and class for decades. They have sought to destroy anyone who got their way. It started way before Trump.
Is American politics past the point of no return? In this compelling book, New York Times columnist and political reporter Thomas Byrne Edsall documents how the Trump years ravaged the nation’s politics, culture, and social order.
Obama lied continuously to get Obamacare passed, not Trump. People who were against Obama’s policies on healthcare and other things were frequently called racists. “See! Right-wing intolerance, hatred and racism fuel this movement.”
Obama dictatorially ignored immigration laws when he implemented DACA, not Trump
Obama and Biden support lawless sanctuary cities and states, not Trump
Obama used the IRS to target political opponents, not Trump. He sought to silence people who disagreed on policies before elections.
Biden compared tea party members who wanted smaller government as domestic terrorists. Democrats frequently use this tactic whether it is people who want to make America great again, people who protest elections, or parents.
Obama and Biden have used the Justice Department to spy on and target political opponents, not Trump.
Obama and Biden support soft on crime DA's, not Trump
Obama and Biden dictatorially use the EPA to destroy energy companies, not Trump
Biden is destroying women and girls right by making them share space and compete with biological men, not Trump
Biden appointed a woman to the Supreme Court who can't even define what a woman is, yet we are supposed to trust her to interpret laws.
Biden supports allowing kids to be castrated, or have their breasts removed without their parents’ knowledge, not Trump.
Biden ordered Catholic priests to stop showing up at Walter Reed Hospital, not Trump
The ESG movement is meant to divide and destroy companies that don't adhere to leftist policies.
Biden and Obama support abortion on demand and withholding health care from newborn babies in botched abortions, not Trump
Biden and Obama oppose school choice for poor kids, not Trump.
Biden's justice Department targeted parents and Catholics, not Trump.
A probe of the National School Boards Association’s call for federal investigations of parents as domestic terrorists found the White House was involved in the drafting process that led to the controversial request.
Obama and Biden had slush funds at EPA, Justice Department and CFPB where they shook down companies and gave kickbacks to leftist groups, not Trump.
Biden's justice Department doesn't care about groups that targeted cities or crisis pregnancy centers or illegally protested in front of Supreme court justices’ houses, not Trump's
The CDC, under Biden, coordinated with teachers’ unions to keep schools closed, which has caused massive permanent harm to children and families.
The American Federation of Teachers lobbied the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on, and even suggested language for, the federal agency’s school-reopening guidance released in February.
The media is a major participant in the destruction of American culture and politics.
They participated in spreading the lies about Russian collusion and calling Trump an illegitimate president for years to divide and conquer the public.
They still participate in covering up for the Biden family corruption, which is massive.
The media repeated all the misinformation from Fauci and the CDC while silencing those who disagreed. People who didn’t take the vaccine were fired and were said to want people to die.
The media never called Democrats who have challenged elections “election deniers,” but calls any Republicans who challenged an election “deniers” to disparage them in the eyes of the public.
The media and other Democrats always play the race card to intentionally divide the country.
The examples are endless:
The “hands up, don't shoot” narrative was a blatant lie to gin up racial hate and division against white cops. How many police have been injured and killed because of this intentional lie?
The media targeted white Christian boys for the crime of wearing MAGA hats. The media and other Democrats don't care who they destroy as they quest for power.
Democrats used the filibuster over 300 times to stop Trump's policies and appointments. But then:
Democrats working to dismantle the filibuster as a major impediment to their legislative agenda say the procedural maneuver is a threat to civil rights.
Trump was falsely blamed for a photo showing kids in cages to gin up racial hate towards him. The pictures were from the Obama, Biden years.
Biden and others continually lie about what Trump said at Charlottesville. Trump repeatedly denounced white supremacists and Nazi's but that wouldn’t divide the public so they lie.
We keep hearing that Trump is an authoritarian, which is absolute BS. Trump tried to give the money and power to the people. Obama and Biden tried to amass power for themselves and the government.
Trump’s policies were lifting all boats. Minorities and the poor were seeing real wages rise substantially. The poverty rate hit a record low in December 2019 under Trump, not under the Great Society and anti-poverty programs that keep people poor and dependent on the government.
Think how much better Trump could have done if the media and other Democrats weren’t seeking to destroy him every day.
Obama and Biden refuse to enforce immigration laws Congress passed and dictatorially implemented DACA.
Now Biden, without Congressional approval, has approved billions in health insurance benefits for illegals.
Biden wants to buy young people’s votes, so he is dictatorially trying to cancel student debt.
Biden and his EPA are dictatorially forcing people to buy expensive electric vehicles powered by flammable pollutants.
Biden is forcing schools to allow boys to compete with girls and forcing girls to share facilities with people with penises.
Conclusion: The media and other Democrats will seek to destroy whichever Republican is chosen as the presidential candidate, just as they have in the past. It doesn't matter if they are black, white, orange or if they are a woman. They are the party of personal destruction. Just watch what they do to Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, and Clarence Thomas.

The Democrat Left Welcomes Anti-Semites, Cop Haters, and Terrorist Supporters
I reported previously how the left wing of the Democrat Party, including Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Kamala Harris, came out in support of a disruptive display by three anti-Second Amendment lawmakers in the Tennessee Legislature. The Democrat Left's support for what it calls freedom of expression does not however extend to swimmer Riley Gaines, who was shouted down, terrorized, and allegedly assaulted at San Francisco State University for saying that men like Lia Thomas should not be allowed to compete against women or use the women's locker room. The President of SFSU refused to condemn these credibly alleged violent crimes on her campus.
The Democrat Left and Black Lives Matter
I also reported that, after a hiatus that may have been due (my inference, not a statement of fact) to questions about Black Lives Matter Global Network's use of 501(c)(3) tax exempt money to campaign against Donald Trump in 2020, ActBlue Charities has apparently renewed its relationship with BLM. The Democrat National Committee's website also linked to the BLM movement in 2020, and these sites linked in turn to extremist sites that called for boycotts against and even the destruction of Israel. This puts the Democrat party squarely into the camp that condones or even, in some cases, incites behavior that has no place in a civilized nation like the United States.
- BLM Glorifies a Jew-Killing Terrorist. Here is BLM Chicago honoring Rasmea Odeh and also supporting the so-called Palestinian right of return, whose agenda is to overwhelm and destroy Israel demographically. The national BLM organization, as represented by Patrisse Cullors, called not only for the destruction of Israel but also for support for Odeh. Odeh was convicted of murdering two Jews with a bomb and trying to murder emergency responders, but the Israelis disarmed the second bomb in time.
- Note how, in contrast to thugs at San Francisco State University being permitted to shout down, threaten, and allegedly assault swimmer Riley Gaines, Israel's supporters and Republicans did not invade BLM Chicago's event to shout down, much less assault, a convicted murderess who is no better than church shooter Dylann Roof, supermarket shooter Payton Gendron, and Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.
- BLM Glorifies Cop-Killing Terrorists. BLM thanked Fidel Castro, whom BLM says should "rest in power," for giving refuge to Joanne Chesimard, whom BLM calls "Mama Assata Shakur." BLM has also referred to fugitive Charles Hill as "brother." Chesimard was convicted of executing a New Jersey State Trooper and Hill (allegedly until proven guilty) murdered a New Mexico law enforcement professional, menaced a flight attendant with a weapon, and hijacked an airplane to Cuba. BLM has also referred to Hill's alleged accomplices as "brothers."
- Ann Dorn, the widow of murdered police captain David Dorn whose Black life obviously did not matter to the BLM thug who killed him, said of this movement. "If a foreign organization were tied to nationwide rioting in the U.S., we’d probably call it a terrorist organization." In addition, "A coalition of left-wing racial justice groups that includes the Black Lives Matter national organization has launched an initiative calling for the abolition of the U.S. prison system and the release of all prisoners, including multiple convicted cop killers."
- If an organization (and even the Ku Klux Klan has yet to step over this line as far as I know) talked about "brothers" Dylann Roof and Payton Gendron, it would be obvious that that organization agrees that people should be murdered for praying or shopping while Black. When BLM supports Rasmea Odeh, calls Joanne Chesimard "Mama Assata," refers to Charles Hill and his alleged accomplices as "brothers," and demands the release of convicted cop killers, we can opine reasonably that BLM condones similarly the murder of Jews and law enforcement professionals—and the Democrat party as represented by ActBlue Charities has renewed its support of BLM.
- BLM Glorifies Fidel Castro. Did I mention that BLM said Fidel Castro should rest in power, and also that Barack Obama offered condolences for Castro's death? Here is what BLM is praising and on what Obama is morally ambivalent: "Over six decades, millions of Cubans were forced to flee their own country, and those accused of opposing the regime were routinely jailed and even killed. …And one thing is clear, history will not absolve Fidel Castro; it will remember him as an evil, murderous dictator who inflicted misery and suffering on his own people." This, American voters, is what Black Lives Matter supports—and the Democrat Left supports Black Lives Matter.
- BLM Meets the Definition of an Anti-Semitic Hate Group. Disagreement with the government of Israel, which the Israelis themselves do as shown very recently, is not anti-Semitic. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), and even the left-leaning Anti-Defamation League (ADL), however, both define denial of the right of Israel to exist (or, in IHRA's case, denial of the right of the Jewish people to self-determination) as anti-Semitic. BLM, as represented by Patrisse Cullors, rather than some rank and file loose cannon, called for the dismantling of Israel. ADL has also defined the BDS movement as anti-Semitic and BLM supports BDS.
- The Zachor Legal Institute has meanwhile alleged BLM ties with "domestic terror affiliates" of foreign terrorist organizations and the Zionist Organization of America has more information on BLM's anti-Semitic activities.
- BLM Encourages Looting. Here's a BLM organizer (again, not some rank and file loose cannon) who depicts looting as "reparations." Then BLM cries "racism" when those who act on this incitement, including Caucasian "allies," get life-ruining felony records or even get shot when theft escalates to robbery, as it can easily do if the looters threaten the property owners with violence, as Michael Brown did prior to his fatal encounter with a police officer.
Who Supports Black Lives Matter?
Now let's look at who supports this organization, which supports in turn cop killers, Jew killers, vandals, rioters, looters, and a dictator who murdered countless Cubans.
- Joe Biden's team met with BLM's leaders in 2021, when this behavior by BLM was well known. Even though BLM was not happy with the outcome, Biden's representatives should not have associated with them.
- Kamala Harris praised the "brilliance" of Black Lives Matter.
- Cornell's expensive Law School, as represented by then-Dean Eduardo Peñalver, went on record as supporting BLM under color of "racial justice." Cornell's President and Trustees have yet to take corrective action for this use of a Cornell web page to disparage a member of its faculty and put the school into the camp of something that meets the ADL and IHRA definitions of an anti-Semitic hate group. State University of New York Buffalo's Law School in-state tuition is roughly a third of Cornell's and you'll probably learn more law, rather than leftist ideology, there as well.
- Hardin-Simmons University, as represented by President Eric Bruntmyer, also lined up with BLM.
- Solid Blue New York City renamed a street for Black Lives Matter.
Democrat Left-infested unions like the Seattle Education Association and PSC-CUNY have joined the anti-Semitic boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement so it is clear that Jews are not welcome in these unions. Nor do law enforcement professionals, Cuban-Americans, or property owners of all races who don't want their cars, homes, and stores wrecked in BLM loot-a-thons have a home in today's Democrat party. Use your head and vote Red in 2024.
Civis Americanus is the pen name of a contributor who remembers the lessons of history, and wants to ensure that our country never needs to learn those lessons again the hard way. He or she is remaining anonymous due to the likely prospect of being subjected to "cancel culture" for exposing the Big Lie behind Black Lives Matter.
Crime Killed a Quarter of a Million Black People.
And the racist pro-crime Left wants more.
Over the last decade, BLM, and assorted leftist and libertarian groups dismantled our criminal justice system. Police forces were defunded, pro-crime prosecutors refused to lock up criminals, federal and state prison systems released tens of thousands of them, and a wave of legislative decriminalization legalized everything from shoplifting, to drug dealing and mugging.
The pro-crime policymaking that eliminated public safety and cost over 3,000 lives in 2020 alone was done under the guise of fighting racism. Statistics which showed that black people were more likely to be arrested, imprisoned or shot during criminal encounters with police were used to spread conspiracy theories falsely accusing the criminal justice system of systemic racism.
What all of these racist conspiracy theories popularized by politicians, the media, and the entertainment industry ignored was that black people were also far more likely to be crime victims. Even as the BLM riots got underway, black people in surveys were strongly opposed to police defunding. The opposition was so vehement that Democrats not only abandoned the issue, but claimed that they had always been opposed to it and ran against their own position.
Despite years of false claims portraying black people as victims of a biased criminal justice system whose police forces are descended from “slave catchers” who repress minorities at the behest of white suburbanites, surveys of black people continue to tell a very different story.
A Pew survey found that while only 33% of white Democrats wanted to reduce crime, 63% of Hispanics and 66% of black people thought that fighting crime should be a priority.
And that’s nothing new.
Leftists and libertarians lied that the War on Drugs was racist when it was actually pushed by black groups, including the NAACP, which demanded the death penalty for drug dealers.
That same Pew survey showed that while only 38% of white Dems answered that reducing the availability of illegal drugs should be a priority, 57% of Hispanics and 60% of black people believed that it should be.
Now a Kaiser Family Foundation survey shows that black people are far more likely to suffer from crime than white people. The survey, meant to generate support for unconstitutional gun ban measures, instead unintentionally demonstrated that crime hurts black people more.
The KFF survey noted that “three in ten black adults (31%) have personally witnessed someone being shot”, “one-third of black adults (34%) have a family member who was killed by a gun” and (32%) say that they worry all the time about themselves or a family member being shot.
One in six of black adults say they don’t feel “safe at all” from gun violence in their neighborhood, compared to 2% of white adults. 1 in 4 also bought a gun to protect themselves.
Gun violence is just another way of saying crime.
Black people are disproportionately affected by crime. Pro-crime policies led to the deaths of an additional 2,244 black people in 2020. According to a Johns Hopkins report, “in 2020, one out of every 1,000 young black males (15–34) was shot and killed” and, “more than half of all black teens (15–19) who died in 2020—a staggering 52%—were killed by gun violence.”
CDC numbers showed that homicide is a leading cause of death among black men under the age of 20, and from the ages of 20 to 44. White men are killed by guns at the rate of 3.15 per 100,000 while black men die at the rate of 48.16 per 100,000. Pro-crime policies increase crime and kill thousands of black people. That’s what a real disproportionate impact looks like.
Every time pro-crime politicians free criminals, pro-crime prosecutors refuse to prosecute violent offenders, and legislatures eliminate bail, the impact is felt most strongly in the black community.
Law enforcement isn’t racist, but getting rid of it is. When a community depends more on a particular service, losing it has a clear disproportionate impact. Keeping the peace, arresting offenders and dispensing justice is one of the few primal duties of government. The breach in the social contract when the government fails to provide peacekeeping services is devastating.
Most crimes are committed by repeat offenders. The only way to interrupt the cycle of violence is to lock them up. Successful tough on crime policies in the 90s made cities safe once again and led to an economic boom in inner cities. Manhattan’s Harlem went from a danger zone to hosting Bill Clinton’s office, but in 2022, crime increased 44%. The Clinton offices have mostly moved down to the Wall Street area, but where they remain in Central Harlem, crime is up 32%. Next door in West Harlem, it’s up 133%. That means Bill is less likely to tour the Apollo Theater, but it also means that the mostly black residents are the ones feeling the worst of it.
Pro-crime activists have spent years regaling us with the suffering of convicts while caring very little about the shattered lives they have left in their wake. Foundations, protest groups, activist organizations and even PACs have spent hundreds of millions lobbying for criminals, fighting for their release and remaking our system to favor perpetrators, not victims. Their political success has come with a very high cost. And much of that burden has fallen on black people.
It is hard to think of any single policy in the last generation that has done more harm to black people or claimed more lives than the pro-crime agenda. Pro-crime activists have falsely claimed that police shootings of black men are a form of genocide. They’re not. Crime is.
One study counted 286,075 firearm deaths among black people from 1990 to 2021. That’s over a quarter of a million deaths. Some of them are due to suicide, but suicides are much lower among black people than white people, and the majority of black gun deaths were homicides.
And seeing a quarter of a million deaths, the pro-crime Left wants even more bodies.
Those quarter of a million deaths have been largely self-inflicted, but, much as with the welfare state, they were aided and abetted by white liberal policymakers who had come to believe that what the black community really needed was for the government to enable its criminals.
Racist liberal condescension continues to destroy black communities, families and lives.
2020 demonstrated that tough on crime policies can save thousands of black lives and, over time, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of black lives. Pro-crime policies are a racist disaster which reduced black people to criminals and then set out to free criminals to help black people.
That’s why 1 out of every 1,000 young black men are dead.
Pro-crime policies are racist. They enable a crime epidemic that has killed more black people than the total number of battlefield casualties for all races in the Civil War. More black people died in the year of Black Lives Matter than our entire death toll in the Iraq War.
Can it get worse than this? In 1991, 12,226 black people were murdered. For the first time, more black people were killed than white people. The numbers are trending that way once again. While the Left claims that highways and dress codes are systemically racist, their pro-crime policies are a racist program that promises liberation but offers only mass death.

Every year in America, some 500 whites are murdered by black assailants, more than twice as many as blacks killed by whites. The media need to report all of these cases fairly and without bias so as to counter the false reporting and misplaced emphasis in the national press. All victims, of whatever race, deserve justice because all human life is precious. The reporting of violence should not be based on race — it should be proportionate to the crime, without regard to the race of the perpetrator or the victim. Jeffrey Folks
Democrat Left Goes All in on Hate, Disruption, and Violence
At Least 32 Shot During Weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago
At least 32 people were shot, eight of them fatally, during the weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
Breitbart News noted at least 20 were shot Friday into Saturday night alone, and four of those shooting victims succumbed to their wounds.
By Monday morning, ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times reported the number of weekend shooting victims was at least 32, and that four more shooting fatalities had occurred.
One of the four additional shooting fatalities was that of 17-year-old Curtis Moore, who was shot in the chest and killed Saturday night at 11:17 p.m. Saturday night. Moore was “in the 800-block of West 51st Street” when someone opened fire from inside a vehicle, striking him in the chest and killing him.
Another one of the additional shooting fatalities was that a 20-year-old man, who was approached by others while walking “in the 3800-block of West Arthington Street” and shot “in the face.”
The 20-year-old was taken to a hospital where he died.
The Sun-Times observed 153 people were killed in Chicago January 1, 2023, through April 16, 2023.
On April 16, 2023, Breitbart News pointed out riots filled the streets of Chicago, prompting the Chicago Police Department (CPD) to call for reinforcements downtown for the fourth night in a row.
The CPD was first called out in force at around 10 p.m. Wednesday night when about 200 teens erupted in a mass fight in the city’s popular Millennium Park at the southern end of the “Mag Mile.” The Wednesday night incident became the city’s first “large group” incident of the year, according to Chicago’s CBS affiliate.
The four nights of violence comes only three days after Chicago was chosen as the site for the DNC’s 2024 convention, and just under two weeks after the city elected a radical, soft-on-crime, defund the police, “progressive” to the mayor’s office.

Large Groups of Teens Erupt in Four Days of Violence Days after Democrats Choose Chicago for 2024 Convention
For a fourth night in a row, the Chicago Police Department (CPD) was forced to call for reinforcements downtown as large numbers of teens gathered and engaged in rioting, violence, and even a Saturday night shooting.
The carousing began Wednesday night, only days after the Democratic National Committee (DNC) chose Chicago for the site of its 2024 National Presidential Convention despite that the city suffers one of the nation’s highest murder rates.
The CPD was first called out in force at around 10 p.m. Wednesday night when about 200 teens erupted in a mass fight in the city’s popular Millennium Park at the southern end of the “Mag Mile.” The Wednesday night incident became the city’s first “large group” incident of the year, according to Chicago’s CBS affiliate.
The youths were reportedly fighting and harassing other people at the park, according to reports.

The crowds of unruly teens, though, were back for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, as police struggled to head off violence.
Video of the gangs of teens jumping on top of mass transit buses and rushing through the streets of Chicago on Friday appeared on Twitter. The video also showed CPD officers desperately trying to corral the gangs of kids.
A video posted by Chicago’s ABC7 showed teen pouncing on top of random cars in the street:
Fox Chicago reported that the roving gangs of teens were also seen bashing in car windows, and after shots were fired, they noted that they pulled their news crews off the street due to safety fears.
Indeed, NBC 5 Chicago reported that two teens were wounded in the Loop on Saturday as hundreds of teens once again flooded the downtown area and engaged in spasms of violence.
The victims, two boys, 16 and 17 years old, were reportedly hit by bullets while standing among the crowd when an unknown assailant fired the shots. It is not known if the shots were fired during a fight nearby or if it was just random, senseless shooting.
The four nights of violence comes only three days after Chicago was chosen as the site for the DNC’s 2024 convention and only ten days after the city elected a radical, soft-on-crime, defund the police, “progressive” to the mayor’s office.
Late last week, ahead of being sworn in as the Windy City’s next mayor, Brandon Johnson absurdly claimed that blame for the city’s rising crime rate could be laid at the feet of businesses because, in his estimation, “70 percent don’t pay corporate taxes.”

The former union organizer blasted the state’s struggling businesses saying that “70 percent of large corporations in the state of Illinois don’t pay a corporate tax,” and added. “It’s that type of restraint on our budget that has caused the type of disinvestment that has led to poverty, of course that has led to violence.”
The self-professed “progressive” did not reveal his source for the 70 percent claim.
Even as the violence continues to spin out of control in the downtown Loop area, Johnson disgorged mere platitudes about the unrest during a Friday visit to Jesse Jackson’s Operation Push headquarters.
“My heart breaks for the families, which should never have to suffer the pain of a child being shot or lost to gun violence in our city. As a father, what I want for my own children is what I want for every child in Chicago. Their safety, and their healing from trauma, will be a priority of my administration from day one and beyond,” Johnson said in a statement on the recent violence.
“But we will not just protect our children — we will love them, and nurture them, and give every one of them the hope and purpose they deserve,” he concluded.

TO A GREAT EXTENT, WHOLESALE STORE LOOTING IS MERELY AN EXTENSION OF BLACK LIVES MATTER
Walmart, Target, Other Retailers Shutter Stores Due to Overwhelming Thefts
Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and other mega-retailers have shuttered stores throughout the U.S. due to an overwhelming uptick in thefts.
As Breitbart News reported, reliable retail outlets have begun to make due on their pledge to close stores if crime continues to climb. Just last week, Walmart closed as many as four stores in crime-ridden Chicago.
“The simplest explanation is that collectively our Chicago stores have not been profitable since we opened the first one nearly 17 years ago,” Walmart said in a statement. “These stores lose tens of millions of dollars a year, and their annual losses nearly doubled in just the last five years.”
As reporter John Nolte put it, left-wing cities and states have made shoplifting nearly legal by letting such criminals off with barely a slap on the wrist:
Chicago has one problem… Insane voters. We assumed after current Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot lost the Democrat primary that the city was coming to its senses. Well, we were wrong. Turns out Lightfoot wasn’t radical enough for Chicago voters, so they booted her and brought in an even more dangerous left-wing radical, Brandon Johnson. He came into office on the promise to raise about a billion dollars in taxes on corporations and to ensure even more violent criminals run free.
It’s unlikely Walmart is worried about taxes or even violent criminals. The problem is that shoplifting has been all but decriminalized, and these retailers are losing, as you read above, tens of millions of dollars.
Walmart shuttering stores in Chicago comes after it closed its remaining Portland stores due to a crime wave in Antifa’s native city.
“We have nearly 5,000 stores across the U.S. and unfortunately some do not meet our financial expectations. While our underlying business is strong, these specific stores haven’t performed as well as we hoped,” the company said.
Walmart has shuttered as many as 17 stores across nine states, according to the Daily Mail, while Whole Foods, which is owned by Amazon, also recently closed its one store in downtown San Francisco due to rising crime levels.

Local Board of Supervisors member Matt Dorsey blamed the closure on the city’s lax treatment of criminals.
“Our neighborhood waited a long time for this supermarket, but we’re also well aware of problems they’ve experienced with drug-related retail theft, adjacent drug markets, and the many safety issues related to them,” said Dorsey at the time.
According to the Daily Mail, Target lost roughly $400 million in profits last “November due to organized gangs of shoplifters who had been stealing merchandise from its stores,” with its CFO predicting that the company will have up to $600 million in losses by the end of this year.
“Stores on Baltimore Ave in Maryland, West Lake Street in Minnesota, Chestnut Street in Pennsylvania and South Washington Street in Virginia are all affected,” noted the Mail.
“All four smaller-format stores were rolled out about 10 years ago as a way to reach customers in more urban areas and will close on May 13. “
WATCH: Shoplifting Gangs Paralyze Los Angeles Retailers
Los Angeles Police DepartmentWalgreens closed as many as five stores in San Francisco due to an uptick in organized shoplifting in 2021.
This year, Walgreens closed one store in Chicago, one in Texas, and two more in Florida. Macy’s and Best Buy have faced similar closures, per the Daily Mail:
Shopping mall staple Macy’s is closing four stores in the first quarter of 2023, with malls in California, Colorado, Hawaii and Maryland losing out. The closures are part of Macy’s three-year plan to close 125 locations as an increase in organized retail crimes cuts into the profits of businesses.
Best Buy CEO Corie Barry highlighted the growing problem with theft at its stores back in November 2021 … Barry said organized retail crime groups would steal entire shelves of high-value products like electronics to resell them at a discounted price.
In 2021, retailers lost a combined $94.5 billion from theft and inventory loss, according to the 2022 National Retail Security Survey. California has seen 35 retail outlets close while New York closed 23 and Illinois closed 18. Florida also closed 21 stores.
