Don't I remember that the citizens of LA tried to recall this monster but that 43%--yes, 43%--of the signatures were declared invalid?
I eagerly await the same scrutiny of voting records in next year's election!

Tom, something like that. The recall failed. Angelenos must think Gascon is doing a good job. Well, if that's what they want, they can have it...good and hard.

[FOXNEWS] A Christian student, who sued his business professor for forcing her class to fund an entity which fundraised for Planned Parenthood ...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party... and other progressive political causes, said that his Christian beliefs propelled him to fight back.
"My money is in the hands of Planned Parenthood," Nathan Barbieri, a Michigan State University College of Business sophomore studying finance, said. He told Fox News Digital in an interview that he was "very upset" about it.
"For me, as a Christian, it's our calling. We're supposed to expose the bad things that happen and not just sit back and... be abused. That's our job," he said.
Barbieri is one of two students suing his former business marketing professor, Amy Wisner, who identifies as an "intersectional feminist."
Being a simple feminist gets one labelled with the pejorative TERF, which is almost as bad as being a straight white male.
The university told Fox News Digital that Wisner is no longer employed at the institution. Her Instagram similarly reflected that she is a "former business communication professor."
The lawsuit was filed Thursday by the Alliance Defending Freedom, a legal group defending religious freedom and First Amendment rights.
[BREITBART] Black Lives Matter (BLM) had an $8.5 million deficit, and its investment accounts lost nearly $10 million in value, according to 2022 tax records.
The non-profit has blown through 2 ⁄ 3 of $90 million raised since the summer of 2020 following the death of Saint George Floyd ...The patron saint of Minneapolis... , the Washington Free Beacon reported. The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation’s (BLMGNF) most recent filing of Form 990 paints a grim picture of BLMGNF’s financial health, indicating a trajectory toward financial insolvency. In 2022, the charity logged a $961,000 loss on a security sale of $172,000.
Co-founder Patrisse Cullors resigned from the organization in May 2021 due to allegations that she was spending foundation funds for her own personal use. Breitbart reported last year that Cullors hosted personal parties at a $6 million property in Los Angeles owned by the organization. She admitted the organization was ill prepared to handle the large wave of funds but denied any wrongdoing. Even after her resignation, a 2022 tax return revealed her friends and family were still reaping heavy financial benefits from the organization.
Cullors’ brother, Paul Cullors, collected a salary of $126,000 as head of security despite not having a background as a bodyguard. He was one of only two paid employees in the organization. Cullors and his two companies made $1.6 million dollars providing "professional security services" to Black Lives Matter.
Last September, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation’s board member Shalomyah Bowers was accused of siphoning $10 million from donors to pay his consulting firms. Last year, Black Lives Matter paid $1.7 million to his company Bowers Consulting. Black Lives Matter’s former sister organization Black Lives Matter Grassroots filed a lawsuit accusing Bowers for using the charity’s fund as his own "personal piggy bank."
The lawsuit stated:
His actions have led [Black Lives Matter] into multiple investigations by the Internal Revenue Service and various state attorney generals. Instead of using the donations for its intended purposes, Mr. Bowers diverted these donations to his own coffers and intentionally took calculated steps to prevent those same resources from being used by BLM for on-the-ground movement work.

Unfortunately, I don’t think they stole the majority of the funds. Some kind of donor suit might turn up which political campaigns benefited from the scam. I don’t think the corporate donors would care for the BLM books to be opened. Much of those books are likely covered with Crayola scrawls demonstrating poor arithmetic. The crayon would also reveal a lot of money going to Biden and liberal Senate and House candidates. Unfortunately, there are probably more yeti than there are stupid and honest people who donated to BLM and are offended that the cash was absorbed corruptly.

[IsraelTimes] Prison term for Stewart Rhodes is the longest to be handed down so far in the hundreds of cases related to the January 6 attack.
The founder of the Oath Keepers holy warrior group was sentenced Thursday to 18 years in prison for orchestrating a weeks-long plot that culminated in his followers attacking the US Capitol in a bid to keep US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. S I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass.... out of the White House after the 2020 election.

[Post Millennial] The Department of Justice's failure to charge Rollins raises questions about a two-tiered system of justice. I believe the two tier justice system has been fully established for some time.
Biden's DOJ has decided not to charge Rachael Rollins after evidence found her guilty of election interference, raising concerns about a double standard in the criminal justice system.
Rachel Rollins, US Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, resigned from her office on Friday after the Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) found evidence that she lied to investigators to reportedly influence an election. The OIG referred criminal charges to the DOJ, but the Justice Department decided not to prosecute the district attorney, according to The Messenger.
The report states that "on December 16, 2022, pursuant to the Inspector General Act, 5 U.S.C. § 404(d), the OIG referred the false statements allegation to the Department for a prosecutive decision."
The OIG's investigation revealed that Rollins lied under oath during an investigation into the attorney allegedly trying to influence an election for district attorney in Suffolk County, MA last year.
Despite the findings, the OIG's report stated that "On January 6, 2023, the Department informed the OIG that it declined prosecution."
According to the report, Rollins provided derogatory information about District Attorney Kevin Hayden to Boston Globe and Boston Herald with the hope that it would help Boston City Councilman Ricardo Arroyo in the Democratic primary for Suffolk’s district attorney in Sept. 2022.
The OIG said Rollins was able to acquire the "non-public" and "sensitive" information as a result of her federal position.
In 2021, Rollins, a Soros-back federal prosecutor, was confirmed as US DA of Massachusettes when Vice President Harris cast a tie-breaking vote after all Republicans voted against her nomination, according to the outlet.
[NATIONALREVIEW] Gary Shapley, an Internal Revenue Service (IRS ...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies... ) whistleblower, said that the federal agency "slow-walked" its investigation into the finances of President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family... ’s son, Hunter.
"There were multiple steps that were slow-walked — were just completely not done — at the direction of the Department of Justice," the IRS agent told CBS News in his first public interview on Wednesday night.
"When I took control of this particular investigation, I immediately saw deviations from the normal process. It was way outside the norm of what I’ve experienced in the past."
"Had you ever encountered that before?" news anchor Jim Axelrod asked following Shapley’s comments. "I have not, no," the fourteen-year IRS veteran maintained.
"I’m not involved with any of that stuff," Shapley added in the interview. "It’s not what I want to do. I’m just simply not a political person. This is a job, and my oath of office is to treat everybody fairly that we investigate.
The probe, which first began in 2018, pertains to Hunter’s taxes as well as a false statement the president’s son allegedly made in connection with the purchase of a firearm.
Last October, a leak first published in the Washington Post revealed that federal agents with the FBI and IRS were confident that there was sufficient evidence to indict Hunter.
"It is a federal felony for a federal agent to leak information about a Grand Jury investigation such as this one," Chris Clark, an attorney representing the president’s son, responded in an official statement to the newspaper at the time. "Any agent you cite as a source in your article apparently has committed such a felony. We expect the Department of Justice will diligently investigate and prosecute such bad actors."
In mid April, Shapley, then-an anonymous criminal supervisory special agent, sought whistleblower protection from Congress in exchange for information concerning a "failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interest in the ultimate disposition of the case."

It does seem like there is slow-walking going on of information requests from agencies and a whole lot of obstruction of justice too. Pubs need to play hardball as the Dems do. Go on offense.
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] A Utah mayor has announced he is running for Senate to unseat incumbent Sen. Willard Mitt Romney, aka Pierre Delecto ...former governor of Massachussetts, the Publican nominee for president in 2012, now Senator from Utah. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals. He is currently a trans Republican and a member in good standing of the Never Trump Party, attempting to assume the mantle of the late John McCain... Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs announced his candidacy in a video posted to Twitter.
In the video, Staggs pointed out that we currently have more IRS ...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies... agents than border agents and that Americans face astronomically high gas prices as our politicians continue sending money to Ukraine.
"Washington is broken, and every time we compromise it costs us trillions. We have more IRS agents than border agents, and while we’re paying four dollars a gallon for gas, they’re sending money unchecked to Ukraine. We’re almost $32 trillion in debt. Enough is enough," Staggs said.

The church was the crown jewel of institutions through which the long march took place. Without the high ground, the other institutions, while also powerful, could never truly undermine the republic.
You gotta know when to hold ‘em
Know when to fold ‘em

Know when to run...
[NBCPHILADELPHIA] Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., is going to retire at the end of his current term and won't seek reelection in 2024 This is Hunter's big chance. The votes are already being mailed in.
[FREEBEACON] What happened: On March 9, 2022, former Disney CEO Bob Chapek attacked Gov. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.) for supporting the Parental Rights in Education bill, instigating a feud with the popular governor that persists to this day. Since then, Disney's stock price has lost a third of its value.
By the numbers: Disney stock was trading at $133.65 a share when Chapek accused DeSantis of promoting legislation that would "unfairly target gay, lesbian, nonbinary, and transgender kids and families." Disney shares opened at $89.44 and continued to fall on Wednesday ahead of DeSantis's formal entry into the 2024 presidential campaign.
• That's a decline of 33.1 percent in a little over 14 months.
• Disney announced Wednesday it was preparing to heartlessly fire more than 2,500 employees in an effort to save money.
• DeSantis was reelected in November 2022 by a margin of 19.4 percentage points.
What they're saying: "Ron DeSantis couldn’t beat Donald Duck, how the hell does he think he’s going to fare against Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... ?" Nina Turner, the left-activist and failed congressional candidate backed by Bernie Sanders ...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... , said on Tuesday.
"You know, if you can’t beat Donald Duck, how are you gonna beat Donald Trump?" Kari Lake, the failed gubernatorial candidate backed by former president Donald Trump, said while attacking DeSantis on Tuesday.

Oh, how I love watching Disney's stock (DIS) drop.
On Thursday it closed near $88. Love it, love it, love it.

The tax code strongly encourages paying top execs most of their compensation in stock and stock options rather than in cash.
So this decline is really hitting the people who made it happen in their personal pocketbooks. Aren't free markets wonderful!

Retiring my North Face backpack tonight. Quit buying back when they were like 'F Oil!' even though all of their products are petroleum based. That was a whatever; but I won't be branded.
It's too bad. It has been so used, it was made in Indonesia.

Companies will pay the piper to some or no extent based on their customer base. Calvin Klein and Subaru are not going to pay a price for any June rainbow hijinks.Ford, Disney and AE sell to people that don’t want a feeding tube full of trans propaganda. Conversely, CNN had a niche audience that have become more selective after their Trump debacle.

[Breitbart] On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox News Tonight,” 2024 presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) stated he would fire FBI Director Christopher Wray on his first day and argued that “Republican presidents have accepted the canard that the DOJ and FBI are ‘independent.’ They are not independent agencies, they are part of the executive branch, they answer to the elected president of the United States.” As an example, he said, “if the FBI or DOJ, whatever collude with a tech company to try to censor information, everybody involved with that would be fired immediately if I were the president.” campaign talk? see Twitter dude walking.
DeSantis said, “I would not keep Chris Wray as Director of the FBI, there would be a new one day one. I think that’s very important.”
He added, “In terms of an attorney general, you need someone that’s got a really strong backbone. You need somebody that knows that if you’re going in there and you’re taking care of business, The Washington Post is not going to like you, The New York Times is not going to like you, you’re going to get attacked by CNN, and you’ve got to wear that as a badge of honor. You can’t try to please polite society, because otherwise you’ll just get captured by the institution itself. And I think the DOJ and FBI have lost their way. I think that they’ve been weaponized against Americans who think like me and you, and I think that they’ve become very partisan.”
DeSantis continued, “Part of the reason that’s happened, Trey, is because Republican presidents have accepted the canard that the DOJ and FBI are ‘independent.’ They are not independent agencies, they are part of the executive branch, they answer to the elected president of the United States. So, as president, you have a responsibility to be involved in holding those agencies accountable, clearing out people who are not doing the job, and making sure that they’re doing the people’s business and they’re not abusing their authority. For example, if the FBI or DOJ, whatever collude with a tech company to try to censor information, everybody involved with that would be fired immediately if I were the president. And right now, I think those agencies have been able to go without any real accountability.”

I don’t like have the DOJ act as an independent agent serving their own agenda under GOP presidents. Neither do I like the DOJ acting like the Stazi for Democrat presidents. Turns out that I don’t like the DOJ. Firing Wray is not going to do it for me.
