A Looming Political Earthquake

If it weren’t for the election season swamping news coverage, odds are more people would be talking about the revelation that, to quote a Bloomberg headline, “The World Bank Somehow Lost Track of at Least $24 Billion.” In fact, that may understate the reality: the World Bank’s “accounting gap” could be as big as $41 billion. The missing funds in question were for “climate finance” projects, “financed by taxpayer dollars from its member countries, the biggest being the US.”

Put a billion dollars in your Swiss Account and you'll be set. They just "lost track of it"........so easy to do. Probably a pallet of $100s to make a billion........so easy to just accidentally forklift it into your pickup, with no malice, of course. /s off Even Capt Renault is actually shocked.

Just as a reference.....one billion is 10 million $100 bills. Stack up 1,000 Ben Franklins........then do it 99,000 times more. Maybe more like two pallets of Benjamins. And they misplaced FORTY ONE billion.....so, ballpark, a full semi load of Benjamins just vanished. Have the talked with David Copperfield?

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban claimed Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that you never see former President Donald Trump around “strong, intelligent women.” [snip]It turns out Donald Trump is not even asking Nikki Haley for her help to try to reach her voters.[snip] “…you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever. It’s just that simple. They’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them and, you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women. I mean, he just can’t have her around. It wouldn’t work.”

The only daughter of former Republican President Gerald Ford has endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. Susan Ford Bales is a registered Republican and admitted she would 'likely disagree on some policy matters' pushed by the vice president. But ultimately she believed that Harris' 'integrity and commitment to those same principles that guided Dad have led me to conclude' that she should be in the White House over Donald Trump.[snip] Ford was Michigan's only president and was propelled to the White House when Richard Nixon resigned in 1973 in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal.

A recent report shows that the assassination attempts on President Donald Trump were facilitated by unacceptable misconduct and unprofessional behavior by employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Secret Service (USSS) stemming from deep-seated politicization within these agencies.[Snip] New information released by Empower Oversight (EO), a respected American civil rights watchdog, proves that the FBI high ranking employees became way too supportive of the Democrat party. A September 19 letter[snip]exposes mistreatment, and even the firing of agents because of their conservative political views.

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) is an aggressive domestic program to federally register millions of unsuspecting small business owners under the guise of an “anti-money laundering initiative.” By the end of this year, Americans will be required to hand over their small businesses’ private data — such as owners’ names and home addresses — to the federal government’s law enforcement database, operated by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), housed under the Department of the Treasury. Such small businesses includelimited liability companies, corporations, “and any other entities created by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or any similar office in the United States.”

Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), former President Donald Trump’s running mate, told Breitbart News exclusively in a written interview after his victorious debate performance against Minnesota’s Democrat Gov. Tim Walz last week that Trump deserves the credit for developing the strategy that propelled him to victory. Vance told Breitbart News that Trump told him in the lead-up to the debate that he should focus his criticisms on Vice President Kamala Harris—the Democrats’ presidential nominee—rather than wasting time and energy on Walz. Vance said Trump’s idea clearly “worked,” and he thanked the former president for it afterwards

Just when you thought the left couldn’t get any more desperate, they go and try to resurrect the Russiagate narrative that plagued news coverage of former President Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign. A former KGB spy told The Guardian that the former president was “cultivated as a Russian asset” for over four decades and that Russia’s government was supposedly thrilled when he became president because he engaged in “anti-western propaganda” before entering politics.[Snip] Shvets claims Trump was “fed KGB talking points and flattered by KGB operatives who floated the idea that he should go into politics,”

But as the old saying goes- “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” After Representative Greene tweeted a simple and accurate statement last week regarding weather manipulation, the mainstream media went on autopilot mode, calling her an “unhinged conspiracy theorist”.[Snip]There is little to no public oversight or discourse on the subject matter. While these tools can be used for good, they can also be used for nefarious purposes and have been misused in the past.

In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, as they were waiting for the election workers in the so-called “blue wall” to tell them what they already knew, CNN’s Van Jones blamed sexism and racism for why Vice President Kamala Harris lost to President-elect Trump. “I am thinking about the people who are not a part of anybody's elite, who are hurting tonight,” he bloviated. Speaking as though he was delivering a sermon, Jones opined about how this election supposedly told black women that America rejected them, how they hoped Harris would essentially liberate them, and lamented how their hard work didn’t pay off:

Today is a day of despair, and it would be futile to tell those who fear and grieve for what is to come in America that they will be OK. It would also be dishonest: many of us, in truth, will not be OK. Donald Trump has decisively won the American election. He and his Republican allies have promised mass deportations that will ruin lives and sunder families; they have threatened to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and appoint the anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F Kennedy Jr to a position of authority on public health. They have pledged vast cuts to social security and Medicare, .

Wednesday, during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” the morning after the presidential election, network host Al Sharpton speculated on who was to blame for Vice President Kamala Harris’ apparent defeat. Sharpton took a shot at the American voter, attributing race and gender bias to Trump’s success. “Probably ‘shock’ would be the word for many at the Howard University party, and then ‘disbelief,'” he said about his view from being at the Harris’ election night event. “I think that is also what we’ve got to deal with —
Kamala Harris Can Still Become First Female
President — If Biden Resigns

Vice President Kamala Harris can still become the first female President of the United States of America — but only if President Joe Biden resigns. Harris lost decisively to former President Donald Trump — now president-elect Trump — on Tuesday, dashing hopes that a woman would finally break through the “glass ceiling” and reach the Oval Office. But she still can — if Biden follows through on a promise to be a “transitional” candidate, and steps aside for Harris. If he does not, Biden will have consigned Harris to the ignominious task of presiding over the Senate during the certification of Donald Trump’s victory over her on January 6.

On Tuesday night, an NBC panel began discussing whether the Democratic Party was right to push President Joe Biden aside in favor of his vice president, Kamala Harris. "Jen, has the conversation begun yet about Joe Biden and about the decision to ask him to step aside?" Lester Holt asked former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. "It will begin,” she said. “It will begin depending on the outcome. And obviously, there hasn’t been a race called yet. If this is not a Harris win, that will certainly be part of the discussion. She’s run a campaign over the course of 107 days. That is not something we’ve seen in history,

Antifa agitators are already rioting in Democrat-led crime cesspools, calling for chaos on Election Night no matter who wins the White House. Black bloc militants in the city of Seattle mobilized early in the evening to launch an Election Night attack at the former site of the deadly Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ). Seattle cops swiftly shut the anarchist occupation down and arrested several leftist activists, according to on-the-ground footage captured by The Post Millennial's Katie Daviscourt. "There is a heavy police presence on the ground tonight," she said, noting that the Seattle Police Department is "not playing any games."

Political pundits said his refusal to accept the mail-in-ballot-fraud-tainted 2020 election results made him an “insurrectionist” and a “dangerous threat to democracy.” Democrat prosecutors and judges threw his supporters in jail.

The Drudge Report has bet against Donald Trump and lost. Having once been the most influential conservative media website in America, the website appears to have conceded that Trump is heading toward an extraordinary victory. [Tweet] The lead headline links to an article from The Associated Press, which does not state that Trump has won the election but admitted that he had weakened the Democratic coalition. It stated: Even with the outcome uncertain Tuesday night, the 2024 presidential election already has exposed the depths of a fractured nation as the candidates navigated political shifts based on class, race and age under the near-constant threat of misinformation and violence.

The combined star power of Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Bruce Springsteen, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and many, many more failed to carry Kamala Harris over the finish line on Tuesday — a humiliating defeat for the entertainment industry, which had mobilized many of its biggest celebrities this election cycle in the service of the Democrat party. President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory — he won the electoral and popular votes — signals the diminishing power of Hollywood stars as political influencers and message amplifiers.
