Nandini Jammi, who runs a group dedicated to shutting down conservative sites and businesses was banned by LinkedIn


Soros-Backed Crackpot Activist Nandini Jammi Lies to Her Donors

[Bongino] Nandini Jammi, a Soros-backed activist who has targeted Jewish-run publications by slandering them as "Nazis," has been caught lying to her followers that their donations to her non-profit will be tax deductible.

On November 4th, she invited her followers to make a "tax deductible" donation to her group Check My Ads.

There’s only one problem here — her organization is a *pending* 501(c)(3), as per the Check My Ads website:

This means that donations will only be tax deductible in the event that the IRS
...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
approves that status.

According to the IRS regulations on "contributions to organizations with IRS application(s) pending": "When the IRS approves a timely filed exemption application, exempt status is recognized back to the date the organization was created. Thus, while an application is pending, the organization can treat itself as exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3). For example, it must file Form 990 (instead of an income tax return) while its application is pending. However,
there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly...
contributors to the organization do not have advance assurance of deductibility because the organization’s exemption is pending. If the organization ultimately qualifies for exemption for the period in which the contribution is made, the contribution will be tax-deductible by the donor. Alternatively, if the organization ultimately does not qualify for exemption, then the contribution will not be tax deductible.

There’s also serious questions on if the organization is even able to qualify as a 501(c)(3) due to their political involvement.

The cat enthusiast responded by "debunking" a point that no one made, posting on twitter that the IRS does allow pending 501(c)(3)s to accept donations. Of course, that pending 501(c)(3)s are allowed to accept donations was never disputed — the tax exempt status of those donations was.

Nandini didn’t respond to the actual allegation against her — and I think we can all figure out why.

UPDATE: An archived page of the Check My Ads website from the Wayback Machine reveals that as recently as October they falsely claimed to already be a registered 501(c)(3).

WHouse: Biz should Ignore Court Order
[TheBlaze] The Biden administration said that businesses should ignore a federal court ruling against his vaccine mandate and implement it anyway.

"We think people should not wait," said White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre during Monday's media briefing. "They should continue to move forward and make sure that they're getting their workplace vaccinated."
Biden to USA: See we are not like those Trump people who had contempt for the Judicial Branch.

Caribbean-Latin America
Nicaragua: Socialist Daniel Ortega ‘Wins' ‘Worst Possible Election' with 75% of Votes
[Breitbart] Sandinista dictator Daniel Ortega declared victory on Monday in a presidential race the head of the Organization of American States (OAS) decried as the “worst election possible – marred by the arrest of all other viable candidates, ban on reputable election observers, and widespread reports of violence.

Ortega’s socialist Sandinista Front of National Liberation (FSLN) has been in power for nearly the entirety of the last 40 years, staging a “revolution” against President Anastasio Somoza Debayle in 1979. He took an official break from power after losing a free election in 1990, but returned to power in 2007 and has refused to yield to free and fair elections since.

Prior to the current election, Nicaraguan state security arrested seven presidential candidates on dubious charges of “treason,” leaving Ortega to compete only against small, friendly left-wing opposition parties. The Sandinista regime prevented legitimate international actors from observing the election, opting instead for far-left “companion” individuals and entities who lauded Sunday’s election as a success for global leftism.

While the free world condemned the elections as a “sham,” fellow authoritarians like Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and the Communist Party of Cuba applauded the event.

Ortega’s rubber-stamp Supreme Electoral Council (CSE), the government agency tasked with overseeing elections, announced that Ortega had defeated his hand-picked opposition with 75 percent of the vote as of early morning Monday. The closest contender, a candidate representing the small Liberal Constitutionalist Party (PLC), allegedly received 14.4 percent of the vote. The margin is so wide despite it representing a fraction of the alleged total vote that the CSE essentially declared Ortega the winner without counting all the votes, stating it would move on to tally the results of regional races later on Monday.

The CSE claimed that 65.3 percent of eligible voters participated in the election, a number hotly contested by human rights groups and eyewitnesses in the country. Open Ballots, an independent organization that deployed anonymous observers to illicitly monitor the vote on Sunday, estimated based on its operations in Nicaragua that only about 18 percent of voters participated, leaving an overwhelming majority of over 80 percent disenfranchised, likely abstaining in response to the widespread indices of fraud, candidate intimidation, and repression.

The organization reported witnessing 200 “acts of violence in the electoral context” on Sunday – including beatings of independent journalists – as well as several fraudulent activities such as surrounding voting areas with Sandinista propaganda and Ortega using government vehicles to bus voters to the ballot box. In events where it did not document violence, it noted evidence of violent intimidation, such as the presence of armed socialists, both civilians and state security agents, at voting areas.

Ortega’s regime flooded the streets of major Nicaraguan cities with socialists celebrating their “victory” preemptively late on Sunday night.

Nicaragua remains a member of the OAS despite the organization’s charter requiring member states to have democratic governments.

#1  Remember, the CIA flooded our inner cities with cocaine for the purpose of their policies in Nicaragua.

If they want to vote for socialism, let them! An actual socialist government is the best advertisement for capitalism there is. It also reduces leftists to quivering blobs of cognitive dissonance. "B-B-But that wasn't real socialism!" they are reduced to blubbering.

Government Corruption
Former intel chief expects many more indictments in Durham probe
[JustTheNews] Ratcliffe says documents he turned over to the special counsel show clear collusion between Hillary Clinton‘s campaign and Russians.

Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe says he provided Special Counsel John Durham more than 1,000 documents that show among other things that Hillary Clinton‘s campaign colluded with Russia to build the Steele dossier, and he expects many more indictments in the case.

“When I became the director of national intelligence, I said, ‘Listen, I want to see all of the intelligence about this supposed Russian collusion,’ Ratcliffe Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.

“What I found was, and as you’re finding out, is there was, of course, no Russian collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, but what I did see in intelligence documents, some of which I’ve now declassified, that there was collusion involving the Clinton campaign and Russians to create a dossier,” he added.

While Ratcliffe declassified many documents exposing problems with Christopher Steele’s dossier and the FBI handling of it, he said he provided a tranche of still classified evidence to Durham.

“I declassified the documents that we’ve talked about, but I gave John Durham over 1,000 other documents that have not yet been declassified that I know, including intelligence that goes specifically to this criminal activity that would be the basis for further indictments,” Ratcliffe explained.

The effort to promote the Clinton campaign-funded Dossier after officials knew it was false “goes to the highest levels of our government and government agencies involved,” Ratcliffe said.

“I continue to think there will be many indictments based on the intelligence that I gave to John Durham and that I have seen,” he added.

#3  This is an excerpt from the Nov 7 2021 article in The Conservative Treehouse that explains this perfectly.

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/11/07/critical-to-understanding-where-durham-is-going-ratcliffe-highlights-the-august-2016-white-house-discussion-team-clinton-compromising-team-obama

"Deep political followers will remember well the 2008 Democrat primary between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. It was a brutal battle within the Democrat Party between radical ideologues (Team Obama) and the entrenched establishment old guard (Team Clinton).

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton hated each other.

Team Obama were radical progressives with idealistic objectives to fundamentally change America. Team Clinton were power hungry politicians from a traditional Democrat perspective. The Clintons focused on power for the benefit of their own affluence and gain. In essence, team Obama were true believers (communists). Team Clinton were following their traditional path looking for power and wealth (crony capitalists). This underpinned the primary battle.

As an outcome of the battle, Team Obama won, but the PUMAS were born (ie. Party Unity My Ass).

To heal the DNC scars, although they still hated each other, Obama essentially gave Clinton the Secretary of State job so she could get what was always important, money. Giving her the SoS position allowed Hillary to keep making money for the Clinton Global Initiative, an international money laundering operation selling influence. Hillary accepted and did exactly that, selling influence to gain affluence throughout her tenure as Secretary.

The Clinton-Obama détente also came with an agreement. When Obama was done, he wouldn’t do anything to interfere with Hillary’s quest for the White House. But keep in mind, the underlying difference between Hillary and Obama (graft/power -vs- true believer/fundamental change) was always present in the two camps as they worked deep within the institutions of government.

Hillary used the State Dept as her own little fiat system. The State Dept was filled with like-minded Hillary supporters. When Hillary left the Obama administration at the end of the first term, Obama agreed to accept a personal liaison, Clinton acolyte John Podesta, implanted into the White House to protect her future interests.

Few people have paid attention to the importance of that personnel move.

In the lead up to what would be the 2016 election, John Podesta was inside the White House as an advisor of sorts. However, John Podesta was not advising Team Obama. Instead Podesta’s job was to relay information to Clinton about what was going on inside the White House in 2014 and 2015.

Podesta was there because Clinton and Obama did not trust each other. Podesta, Clinton’s personal fixer, was in the White House to keep an eye on things. I have often reminded people of that dynamic with pictures of Podesta sitting in the wings:

Fast forward into 2016… Inside the executive branch, as the 2016 election primaries were taking place, you still had this Team Obama -vs- Team Clinton dynamic in place. Now however, the Clinton camp looked at their responsibility with an operational objective to get Hillary elected as the next administration.

Team Clinton included the continued majority of administration officials within the State Department. Inside the other institutions of the executive there were also Clinton team members, as well as officials looking to curry favor and advancement for the Clinton administration if she were to win the 2016 election.

In addition to almost all the State Dept officials, team Clinton included: Leon Panetta, Mike Morrell, Deputy AG Sally Yates, Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, and a host of other key workers/opportunists within the institutions like: Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, David Laufman and the entire DOJ/FBI crew who worked on the Clinton email and Huma Abedin laptop investigation specifically motivated to clear Clinton including FBI Director James Comey.

Team Obama always consisted of entrenched loyalists to the bigger cause, and Valerie Jarret ensured everyone stayed focused on the Obama team priority of fundamental and structural change. Obama loyalists included: Lisa Monaco, Susan Rice, Samantha Powers, Kathryn Reummler, John Brennan, Denis McDonough, Jack Lew, Eric Holder/Loretta Lynch etc.

Team Clinton was using the machinery inside government to position Hillary for victory in November 2016.

When it became clear that Donald Trump was going to be her opponent (after Super Tuesday, March 2016), the political weaponization of that machinery now had a target – Donald J. Trump.

Clinton hired Fusion GPS in April 2016 for the purpose of targeting her opponent Donald Trump. The Clinton State Dept officials, Clinton Intelligence officials, Clinton DOJ and FBI officials and Clinton-allied federal contractors now had a target. The “I’m With Her” media were awaiting information to receive and deploy against her opponent. All of the various Clinton aligned internal and external operatives in government began executing the larger plan to assist, protect and advance Hillary.

♦ However, there was a problem – Through the summer of 2016, the Clinton activity was too intense and too transparent as conducted by participants inside government. The aggressive use of the intelligence community was creating a risk. After all, many of the operations being run to benefit Hillary politically were being done under the umbrella of the Obama administration.

If Hillary Clinton’s crew went too far… which they did…. they could be putting President Obama in a position of compromise. That was a problem for Team Obama loyalists and the people who had worked too hard on the fundamental change.

Team Obama did not want to see their successful accomplishments and ongoing objectives put into a spotlight of illegality because Team Clinton was using the machinery of Obama’s administration to target her political opposition. THAT background was the topic of the August 2016 meeting Ratcliffe is drawing attention to today.

CIA Director John Brennan meeting with President Obama in the Oval Office in August 2016 is informing him of the visible nature of the weaponization of government that Team Clinton was executing.

Team Obama then gave Team Clinton a serious slap across the knuckles, telling them they better come up with a legal justification for their use of the intelligence community against Donald Trump…. THAT is AUGUST 2016… THAT is why the Clinton crew inside the DOJ and FBI operation needed to come up with a legal justification for their prior intelligence deployments…. THAT is why the DOJ/FBI needed the FISA warrant.

Following the warning provided by Team Obama, the Clinton team then put together a plan to use Carter Page as a vessel for a Title-1 search warrant that could be used as justification for their pre-existing use of the intelligence apparatus against Donald Trump. The FISA application was put together to justify the Clinton operations; however, the FISA application was weak-sauce…. thus, they needed the Christopher Steele dossier to take the place of a valid ‘woods file’ in the application.

Carter Page was selected because he was a known commodity to both the CIA and the FBI going back to his collaborative work in the Evgeny Buryakov case, and Carter Page was close enough tangentially to the Trump campaign to be valuable.

The ‘Trump is a Russian asset‘ narrative was already in place. Team Clinton had been grooming this false narrative for several months. Carter Page was a part of that narrative, and the DOJ/FBI using Page to get a Title-1 surveillance warrant eliminated the legal issues Team Obama was warning about.

The rest, as they say, is history.

The totality of all of that unethical and illegal activity is why defenses had to be activated in the aftermath of the 2016 election. Getting Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann into place was part of that urgently needed coverup and defense strategy. Andrew Weissmann and crew took control of the DOJ and targeted the White House to stop Donald Trump from exposing all the 2016 corrupt activity....

The final accountability you are being provided by the Durham probe is your ability to snark and yell “I toldyaso” at the leftists and political media. That is why John Durham is providing “speaking indictments“.

Durham is purposefully giving all of the right-wing media, and the deep-weed followers of Spygate, fuel for their righteous indignation -an opportunity to yell ‘TOLDYASO‘- in the indictments of those who are a long way from the Obama dividing line. That’s where it stops.

The “Durham Report” (everyone was talking about) will likely be a final assembly of Durham indictments put together in a book format.

The allowable targets for Durham can be defined as those Clinton team members who were furthest away from Team Obama...."
