[YouTube] Back in 2022, the Biden administration created the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, also known as the “green bank” initiative. It’s a $27 billion program overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency as part of Biden’s $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act.
This is the “gold bar” slush fund, where they were just throwing money at any Progressive NGO in order to hide it from the new Trump administration — one last golden shower for the lads.
[Breitbart] A Democrat donor who has heaped criticism on Elon Musk pleaded guilty to wire fraud as an alleged co-conspirator in an alleged woke investment fraud scheme, according to federal prosecutors in California.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) on March 3 arrested Joseph Neal Sanberg, 45, a cofounder of Aspiration Partners Inc., which dubs itself a “climate-friendly banking alternative” on its website. The arrest stemmed from “a federal criminal complaint alleging that he conspired to defraud two investor funds of at least $145 million,” per a DOJ press release.
Musk critic Ibrahim Ameen AlHusseini, 51, whom the DOJ labeled as “Sanberg’s coconspirator,” was arrested in October and took a plea deal last month. AlHusseini, who founded the investment firm FullCycle, signed the agreement in February, and it was unsealed on the day of Sanberg’s arrest. Per the DOJ, citing the plea deal, AlHusseini received about $12.3 million in payments via the alleged scheme.
Aspiration Partners Inc. had notable celebrity backers like Leonardo DiCaprio, Cindy Crawford, and Robert Downey Jr, the New York Post reported.
The DOJ wrote in a release:
According to the complaint against Sanberg and AlHusseini’s plea agreement, Sanberg obtained $145 million in loans secured by AlHusseini, who Sanberg knew did not have sufficient financial assets to cover those loans if Sanberg defaulted. Sanberg hid this fact from investors, then defaulted on the loans, which resulted in at least a $145 million in losses.
Acting United States Attorney for the Central District of California, Joseph McNally, said authorities “have worked methodically to secure a guilty plea from one of the main offenders in this case and have now charged another member of the conspiracy.”
“We will continue to ensure that markets and businesses receive an honest and level playing field in which to operate,” he added.
AlHusseini, whose sentencing is scheduled for September 29, is a major Democrat donor who has contributed to countless Democrat campaigns and organizations. In the 2024 cycle alone, he gave thousands of dollars each to Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Cori Bush (D-MO), Ro Khanna (D-CA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Jamie Raskin (D-MD), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show. The Daily Wire reports Democrats have received over $300,000 in contributions from him through the years.
Citing OpenSecrets, the Post reported that “Sanberg has contributed thousands of dollars to various Democrat-aligned causes over the years.”
Moreover, AlHusseini has a track record of criticizing Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and X, who is working on cutting federal waste through the Department of Government Efficiency in his role in President Donald Trump’s administration.
In December 2022, he went on CNBC’s TechCheck, where he trashed Musk, saying he was wounding Tesla’s brand.
“Tesla’s a brand, right? And that brand is being tarnished on the daily because of Musk’s behavior publicly on Twitter,” AlHusseini said.
“Now it is a confused brand where it is, you know, that brand is associated with a founder that attacked Fauci,” he went on to add. “[Musk], you know, promotes characters that are anti-semitic, and it … really has turned off a lot of the buyers.”
Last year, AlHusseini, who invested in Tesla early on, told CNBC’s Closing Bell he “unenthusiastically voted yes” in favor of Musk’s pay package.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] InfoWars news hound Jamie White was found unresponsive late Sunday night in what authorities are investigating as a murder. He was pronounced dead after being taken to a local hospital.
Austin Police Department officers responded to a high-priority emergency call at approximately 11:57 p.m. in the 2300 block of Douglas Street.
Officers arrived about two minutes later and found White, a male victim, with "obvious signs of trauma," according to APD Public Information Officer Leah Ratliff.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have not confirmed the nature of White's injuries or released information about potential suspects. This marks Austin's eighth homicide of the year.
Ratliff stated, "This is pretty early on in the investigation, and the homicide unit will be releasing more information as they're able," reports CBS.
A statement from InfoWars's Alex Jones confirmed White's death, vowing that those responsible would be brought to justice. "Jamie's tragic death will not be in vain, and those responsible for this senseless violence will be brought to justice." Jones blamed "Soros Austin, TX D.A. Jose Garza" partially for the murder.
White, who was working late at the InfoWars studios Sunday night, was found at his home just a few miles from the studio. "Jamie loved to fight tyranny, loved to fight for freedom," said Jones.
White was pronounced dead in the hospital. The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have yet to release further details.

A right wing investigative journalist.
Wonder who has his 'working notes'?
[Gateway] In just the past few hours, we have uncovered perhaps the biggest scandal of the Biden presidency. It turns out Joe Biden never signed anything- no laws, no Executive Orders, no legal documents, nothing. They were all signed by autopen. There were no original signatures.
Which makes them all illegal. That makes everything that happened and passed during the past four years null and void.
But that brings up the question of the century: If Biden never signed anything, who did? Who was calling the shots? Who was running the country? I know the answer...
The spying on Trump. The conspiracy to indict Trump and put an innocent man in prison. All the crimes committed by Vice President Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton while their boss was Obama. The stolen 2020 election. And brain-dead Biden’s term that turns out to be one big scam with Obama calling the shots- but this time, unelected.
I covered all of this in my last two columns that are part of this "The Criminal Case Against Obama" trilogy.
This is Part 3.
One quick aside. I would argue even the autopen scandal is not the biggest scandal, crime and conspiracy of the past four years. The rigged and stolen 2020 election is the biggest.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Three more employees at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have been fired who were involved in the situation in which workers at the agency skipped over Florida homes that had Trump campaign signs on their property in the wake of Hurricane Milton.
Acting Head of FEMA Cameron Hamilton wrote in a letter to House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer that the three employees failed "to meet our standards of conduct," and hoped that the firings send a message within the agency.
Supervisor Marn'i Washington, who ordered hurricane ...as in blow me down!... relief workers to "avoid homes" sporting Trump signs had already been fired back in November following an investigation. In an interview after her firing, she claimed that workers were allowed to skip these homes if they felt "uncomfortable," like if a home had "loose dogs." At least 20 homes were reportedly bypassed, with messages written in the government system like "Trump sign no entry per leadership" on skipped houses.
Those included in the latest round of firings associated with the incident were of employees higher in the chain of command. He wrote that the investigation headed by FEMA's Office of Professional Responsibility in the wake of the actions by agency members "found no evidence that this was a systemic problem, nor that it was directed by agency or field leadership. However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow... it did determine that those in the immediate supervisor chain of the single staff member who engaged in this conduct should have had more direct control of their subordinates' behavior. Thus, they have failed to meet my expectations of leaders in this organization and have been terminated."
He noted that in addition to the investigation, he has directed additional training for FEMA staff "to reinforce that political affiliation should never be a consideration in the rendering of assistance."
Since taking office, President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... signed an executive order establishing a council that will undertake a review of the agency. This came after emergency response to the Milton and Helene hurricanes received backlash.

They believed they were untouchable regardless who won — look how well they prospered while defying President Trump during his first time in office.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Just days after Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) grilled reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Mayor Brandon Johnson ...Hizzonner da Mare of Chicago. He was elected in April 2023 to replace the disastrous Lori Lightfoot and immediately set about out-Richtering her. A member of the Democratic Party (naturally), Johnson previously worked as a social studies teacher in the city's stellar public schools system. He helped organize the 2012 teachers strike. Prior to becoming Da Mare, he served on the Cook County Board of Boodling Commissioners from 2018 to 2023... about his "secret gift room" in Chicago's City Hall, the gifts have gotten pubic coverage from media and they are going to be donated to charity.
Johnson was being questioned in Congress over Chicago's sanctuary city policies, when Gill started grilling him on the different gifts that the mayor has been given. "For those of you who don't know, Mayor Johnson has a secret gift room that is not given access to the public," Gill said.
"On June 12, 2023, you received HUGO BOSS cufflinks and a personalized Montblanc pen. Do you know who gave you those?" Gill added, questioning the mayor.
Johson responded, saying, "So, I did not receive those personally, the city of Chicago—" Gill interjected, "The city of Chicago."
The Chicago mayor added, "That's right, on behalf of the city of Chicago."
Some of the gifts in the room include a signed Bulls jersey as well as a NASCAR driver's fire suit. In addition to that, there were HUGO BOSS cufflinks and a designer Montblanc pen, according to ABC7.
Gill did not stop there, but asked, "Do you know who gave those to the city of Chicago?" When Johnson began to say he received them on behalf of the city again, Gill pressed him again, "It's a yes or no question."
Both began to speak at the same time, with Gill then saying, "I reclaim my time sir. On March 18, 2024 you received a Gucci tote bag. Do you know who gave the city of Chicago that?"
Johnson reiterated that they were not personal gifts, but that they were given to the city separately. Gill once again, reclaimed his time as a politician at the hearing, and said, "This raises serious ethical concerns. You're providing an enormous amount of aid to illegal aliens, aiding and abetting criminals who have come into our country illegally. And you yourself are receiving an enormous amount of gifts, and you won't even tell us who they're coming from. This raises serious ethical concerns."
The local outlet reported that the gifts are now being shown to the public after there was a report from the Chicago inspector general which raised concerns about who gave the gifts. The gifts will now be listed on the city's website where it will also detail who offered the items and they will be donated on a regular basis.
Gill said of the new transparency on the gifts after the hearing regarding illegal immigration, "Chicago is a Sanctuary City that harbors criminal illegal aliens who are terrorizing the American people. Mayor Brandon Johnson has been a major proponent and defender of Sanctuary cities. At the same time, he was accepting luxurious gifts from undisclosed sources. While this new-found transparency is welcome, it isn't enough. Sanctuary city policies must end now. Our elected officials have a duty to American citizens, not illegal aliens."

This is all one big joke if anyone is going to pretend there was any sort of "transparency" here.
I spent a decade as a Federal Bank Examiner. We were drilled early and often that we couldn't even accept a lunch at a Western Sizzler from a bank we were examining.
We've got to stop splitting hairs over this crap and just designate them as the *crimes* that they are.
#2
The cufflinks, the pen and the other material gifts are pretty small potatoes.
The more serious stuff is, for example, giving friends and relatives of the mayor jobs that don't require him to work, large donations to campaign funds that end up being used for personal benefit, and sweetheart deals that involve the mayor or his friends and relatives buying real estate at less than market or getting loans with no interest or forgivable principle.

So basically if the Mayor robbed a bank and was later identified, and gave back $$$$. Then it is ok under Illinois law?

Actually, it might be. If the Bank decided not to testify against the Mayor and there were no other witnesses, prosecution might be difficult. The mayor could claim that it was all a stunt or a test designed to help the bank be more secure.

Text taken from a news article posted in vfokuse.mail.ru
[ColonelCassad] With Donald Trump's inauguration as US President, the White House began dismantling the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). In early February, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was appointed Acting Administrator of the Agency — head of USAID. It was expected that its staff would be cut dozens of times. After six weeks of analysis, it turned out that 83% of USAID programs were subject to official closure, as they spent billions of dollars on goals that did not meet US interests. Military observer Alexander Hoffmann on what the Donald Trump Administration will replace the agency with especially for VFokus Mail.
This federal agency was one of the main recipients of funds allocated by the US Congress to counter the international influence and "soft power" of US adversaries, which the administration of the 46th US President Joe Biden included Russia, China and Iran. What will Washington's "soft power" be like under Trump and what could replace USAID?
PARADIGM SHIFT
Rubio promised that the fight against “hostile propaganda” would remain among the tasks of the US foreign policy, but under his presidency all American programs that lead to political censorship or create conditions for it would cease. According to him, the Biden administration’s actions to promote “soft power” were extremely unpopular abroad and created unnecessary friction with other countries.
The US Secretary of State said that the team of the previous American president put ideology above common sense, which led to a distorted understanding of the world. Rubio described the activities of USAID as suppression of free speech and disinformation. The Biden administration, in turn, called any point of view that does not correspond to the views and ideology of the US Democratic Party, especially abroad, “disinformation”.
Thus, Washington’s foreign policy under Trump, according to Rubio’s statements, abandons the approaches of the previous White House team in promoting “soft power”, focused on imposing the ideological guidelines of the American Democratic Party under the guise of “fighting disinformation”.
However, the Republican Trump administration, just as the Democrats did before, places ideological affinity and its ideological priorities at the forefront of the criteria for allocating funds from the US budget for international development programs.
IDEOLOGICAL ALLIES
The reorganization of US “soft power” abroad could lead to the redirection of American aid to countries whose leaders share the views of Trump’s ideological allies and supporters. Such aid includes not only USAID programs, but also Washington-sponsored initiatives of the UN and other international organizations.
Thus, the selection criterion for programs promoting “soft power” that receive US funding may be whether a foreign country’s policies are in line with Trumpists’ views on family values, or whether they oppose the principles of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), which the Biden administration has been promoting internationally.
Rubio recently appeared on the American Fox News channel with an ashen cross on his forehead, which Catholic believers wear throughout the first day of Lent according to their religious calendar. This caused a major stir in the world, but also widespread support among parishioners of the Roman Catholic Church.
It is likely that such a gesture by the top official responsible for US foreign policy is addressed to all conservative traditionalist Christians in the world, and not just American Catholics, which underlines the new ideological guidelines of the White House. To a certain extent, the ashen cross on Rubio’s forehead can also be attributed to the manifestation of Trumpists’ “soft power”.
Or it’s just that Secretary Rubio is an observant Catholic and didn’t think anything more about it — no messaging involved.
INVESTMENTS INSTEAD OF GRANTS
Changing Washington’s approaches to the use of “soft power”, reorganizing US foreign aid and restructuring USAID were indicated as future actions of the Trump administration in the latest “Mandate for Leadership” prepared by the American conservative think tank Heritage Foundation. “Mandate” is a set of recommendations for a presidential candidate or head of state elected by the Republican Party of the United States.
This instruction was called “Conservative Assurance” and is more widely known as “Project 2025”. The recommendations set out in the collection suggest a fundamental reorganization of the United States in all areas subject to the authority of the country’s president.
Thus, “Project 2025” proposed to deprive USAID of its status as an independent agency responsible for US foreign policy and subordinate the organization to the head of the US State Department. This was done by appointing Rubio as the acting administrator of USAID.
As for the Agency's prospects, here too the recommendations of "Project 2025" provide an understanding of the fate of USAID and Washington's "soft power". The collection proposes to assign tasks to private business to promote US interests abroad through development programs. In other words, to use investments from American companies instead of grants from the federal budget.
WALL STREET'S "SOFT POWER"
During Trump’s first term in office, the US government separated a number of divisions from USAID responsible for American investments in low- and middle-income countries. These divisions formed the United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC). By now, this federal agency already has a portfolio of investment projects worth over $50 billion.
Last month, Bloomberg reported that the Trump administration was going to transfer tens of billions of dollars from the USAID budget to the DFC. The American president nominated Benjamin Black, the son of billionaire Wall Street investor Leon Black, as the corporation’s new CEO.
Even before he was invited to the position, Black Jr. himself called for the USAID budget to be redirected to the DFC in order to invest in business projects abroad instead of distributing grants. The new head of the DFC must be approved by the US Senate.
In addition, the Trump administration must receive permission from the US Congress to extend the development corporation’s mandate, which expires at the end of this year. The White House has already secured support from members of both parties in Congress to increase the DFC investment limit from $60 billion to $120 billion and empower corporations to invest in projects outside developing countries.
Thus, the Trump team has focused on “soft power” through the projection of economic power. The administration of the 47th US President intends to use investments as the main tool for spreading influence and promoting interests in developing countries. Such support, if we are to believe the “Project 2025”, should compete with the international initiatives of the main rival of the United States - China.
If the DFC receives a large part of the USAID budget, then grant funding from the American budget will be significantly reduced and will go to countries where the ideological allies of the Trumpists are in power. After this, USAID will become a secondary federal agency, and may even be abolished altogether.

How about fixing the USA 1st before all others?
Example Given:
Yesterday while in the Hospital & Medical Area of Augusta, GA. The Wife and I found a 75 to 80+ year very frail looking old woman standing in the 50 degree rain, soaking wet, wind breaker/no raincoat, with a pull cart of Homeless belongings in a parking lot of McDonald's.
People just walking by her like she wasn't there. We bought her a $10 Mac D's gift card, which allowed her to enter the place, sit down and dry out with hot meal.
What did USAID do for America's true needy and Homeless?
#5
Some have suggested that using USAID funds to support micro-lending in the 3rd world would be a far superior way to improve lives there than existing programs.
Micro lending has had limited success because it requires relatively high interest rates due to the transaction costs. This could be partially resolved by infusion of capital by the USAID. Even better, much of this would be repaid by successful entrepreneurs who received micro loans.

[FoxNews] The bill was sponsored by seven Republicans and one Democrat
The House of Representatives passed a bill aimed at cracking down on Mexican cartels' use of tunnels underneath the southwestern border to smuggle illegal immigrants and illicit items the U.S.
The bill passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in a 402 to 1 vote – with the lone dissenter being Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. Fox News Digital reached out to her office for comment but did not immediately hear back.
The bill is led by Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., but enjoys bipartisan support thanks to its lone Democratic co-sponsor, Rep. Lou Correa, D-Calif.
It's also backed by six other House Republicans, including Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee's subcommittee on border security.
The legislation, titled the Subterranean Border Defense Act, would direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to submit an annual report to Congress about cartels' use of tunnels and how U.S. law enforcement was looking to combat it.
"Since 1990, officials have discovered more than 140 tunnels that have breached the U.S. border with an 80% increase in tunnel activity occurring since 2008," Crane said during debate on the bill. "With border crossings thankfully going down since January, I think it's safe to assume this will drive threats to our border underground through these tunnels."
Debate on the bill was brief on Monday afternoon, lasting less than 10 minutes. Just Correa and Crane spoke, with no lawmakers rising to oppose the bill.
"I believe this bill is an important step in the right direction," Correa said.
He said the legislation if passed "will improve Congress' efforts to counter illicit cross-border tunnels and hold bad actors accountable."
It's a rare show of bipartisanship in today's House of Representatives, with Crane being known as one of the most conservative members of the House GOP.
House leaders held the vote under suspension of the rules, meaning the legislation was fast-tracked to a final House-wide vote in exchange for raising the threshold for passage from a simple majority to two-thirds.
It's what House GOP leaders have done for critical legislation that is expected to receive wide bipartisan support.

Why wouldn't her vote alone be subject to some sort of censure? She voted *against* cracking down on foreign agents and their attempts to intrude on US sovereignty?

[FoxNews] The study shows that over $1 trillion has been spent promoting DEI
A study published this week details the degree to which the Biden administration infused DEI policies into the federal government in a report the authors say can serve as a resource for the Trump administration to continue to identify and "destroy" the practice.
The new study, conducted by the Functional Government Initiative and the Center for Renewing America, identified 460 programs across 24 government agencies in the Biden administration that diverted resources to DEI initiatives.
At least $1 trillion of taxpayer money was infused with DEI principles, the study states.
The study lays out DEI infusion across several federal agencies, including the Defense Department's plan to "integrate environmental/economic justice tools" into training, FEMA’s need to "instill equity as a foundation of emergency management," and the Labor Department's push to "embed equity in a sustainable manner that recognizes the multiple and overlapping identities held by workers."
On his first day in office, President Joe Biden signed Executive Order 13985, which was aimed at carrying out the stated goal of "advancing equity and racial justice through the federal government."
"This order mandated a whole of government approach to injecting DEI philosophy into the federal budget," the study says. "In alignment with this directive, the Biden administration apparently spent trillions in DEI-related initiatives in a manner and at a speed that has shrouded public awareness of the financial burden."

The report outlines how, over the next four years, the amount spent on DEI efforts was "staggering."
"The cumulative budget of these programs exceeds $1.1 trillion," the report says. "However, this figure does not encompass all DEI-related expenditures, nor does it include every program across these agencies. The findings reveal a substantial increase in DEI spending, largely attributable to policy directives under the Biden administration."
"Of the programs identified, 10 are exclusively dedicated to DEI and could be considered for quick elimination; 144 allocate significant resources to DEI initiatives and should be reviewed if those are to be ended; and 306 programs incorporate DEI to varying degrees, though the extent of their DEI focus is indeterminate based on the available documentation."
The report goes department by department and calculates the DEI programs and provides recommendations on how they should be addressed.
"DEI is deeply rooted throughout all aspects of the federal government, and it needs to be eliminated completely," Center for Renewing America senior adviser Wade Miller told Fox News Digital in a statement.
"Thankfully, the Trump administration has already embarked on a vitally necessary complete audit of each and every government program. We offer, in this report, what we hope are additional resources and tools that the new administration and Congress can use to identify, destroy and permanently remove DEI from the federal government."
[X] Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced the cancellation of 83% of USAID programs, impacting 5,200 contracts. These programs, which spent billions of dollars, were deemed not in line with U.S. interests. The remaining 1,000 programs will now be managed by the State Department to increase efficiency and align more closely with national priorities.
