ActBlue is one more brick in the “Blue Wall” giving way under scandal. The warm-fuzzy marketing appeal of ActBlue to attract Democratic “small donors” has turned into the party’s worst nightmare: It is now being accused of operating a “money-laundering operation” as the Democratic party’s main fundraising platform, according to Republican lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee. Suspicions surfaced when small donor funds reached billions with the math failing to add up. “We are investigating potentially fraudulent and illicit financial activity” in connection with ActBlue’s network of on-line platforms, read a letter addressed to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen by Republican lawmakers Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY).

Unless the Republicans really screw up the investigation, this is going to cripple the Dem party.

The ActBlue Money Laundry is closed for business. About time. First, USAID, now ActBlue. Keep looking DOGE, there are other Money Laundries still active. Find them all.

It's just the House Oversight Committee investigating them: They have NOTHING to worry about! This committee has been "investigating" criminals for years and nothing ever happens to them (unless your name is Trump).

ActBlue is probably behind the many senior citizens who allegedly donated single-digit dollar amounts ten times a day to the democrats.

During Obamas first run they bragged about the money that came in by gift cards, $20 - $50 each. Tens of million of dollars supposedly. From the little guys. Could that have been money laundering?

For my entire life, whether the Democrats were in or out of power, they never seemed to have a problem raising money. Even during the Reagan years they managed to raise lots of money. The conventional wisdom was that the Democrats had a limousine liberal cohort who donated generously. Thanks to DOGE we've discovered that it was *we*, the taxpaying people, who have probably been funding them since the creation of USAID. PDJT is planning to resume the construction of a "National Park of American Heroes" that he proposed near the end of his first term. Elon Musk deserves a prominent place in that park.

There has been some argument in my house about Trump’s tariffs on Canada, and indeed the rest of the world. I’m on the American side; why on earth should the Americans pay for everything? Because they do. They pay for Europe’s defence, they allow every single country to tariff American products while allowing their goods in for pennies. When anyone, anywhere is in trouble, who do they call? The Yanks. Where do the pleas of all the desperate people all over the world land? America. Who did the Israeli captives hope for?

Reversing Kissinger 5 replies

The undiplomatic words that Donald Trump had for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week left some Washington, D.C., observers wondering how the Europeans saw the situation.(Snip) Other foreign policy analysts recognize that Trump has many audiences outside the United States, including those in Moscow and Beijing. Many of these Trump watchers conjectured that the spectacle at the White House was meant to illustrate that Trump was willing to tilt against Ukraine in order to accommodate Putin. And the reason for that, they say, is to drive a wedge between Russia and China (Snip) The Washington foreign policy establishment is calling what it presumes to be Trump’s Russia policy “reverse Kissinger.”

Some congressional Democrats are planning ways to disrupt President Donald Trump’s Tuesday night Capitol Hill speech with a variety of props and theatrics, Axios reported Tuesday. While Democrat leadership has suggested that members bring guests who have been affected by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to the speech, some of the party’s more aggressive anti-Trump lawmakers are thinking of ways to go above and beyond to demonstrate their distaste for the president, according to Axios. Tactics under consideration include possible walk outs, using “noisemakers,” bringing eggs or empty egg cartons to bring attention to elevated egg prices and carrying pocket-sized copies of the Constitution
One Health: The New Godless Quasi-Religion
that Ranks Humans Below Nature

A new, Godless, quasi-religion—One Health—is being thrust upon the world. Its apostles say it will save humanity, or rather, life itself. Allied with Marxism in its denigration of the “exploitive nature of capitalism” as is demonstrated in the green movement, it debases humankind by equating us with, even putting us below, all other life forms. Its principal church is the World Health Organization (WHO), so President Donald Trump’s threat to withdraw from the WHO—or gain American control over it—must be seen in the light of this globalist agenda. (Snip) Once signed, the treaty and IHR amendments will be legally binding on the WHO’s 194 member nations.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Education eliminated two major teacher-training programs: the $70 million-a-year Teacher Quality Partnerships program as well as the $80 million-a-year Supporting Effective Educator Development grants. This is terrific news, not just for the budgetary savings but because it strikes an emphatic blow at training that has promoted dubious dogmas and politicized classrooms. (Snip) The Department of Education noted that many of the teacher preparation and training programs featured social-justice activism, a hyper-fixation on race, and recruiting strategies “implicitly and explicitly based on race.” Grant proposals included programs that instruct teachers to address “systemic forms of oppression and inequity” and pressure trainees

CAMPBELL, Ohio -- Sept. 19 marked 47 years since thousands of workers, who were mainly men, did what they did every Monday in the valley. They walked into the Campbell Works of Youngstown Sheet and Tube along the Mahoning River for the early shift. Within an hour of the workers' shift, Youngstown Sheet and Tube abruptly furloughed 5,000 of them in a single day. Within months, 16 more plants owned by U.S. Steel shut down, including Youngstown-based Ohio Works.

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. (Snip) I want to talk about a lost agrarian world and what it was like before the rapid industrialization and suburbanization of America and the values. I want to do that because we have all of these misconceptions and all of this indoctrination and all of this ideological bias about the past. We talk about this white, monolithic, racist society that has to be overturned under DEI, but let me go back to 1960. I was born here, where I’m speaking, on 125-130 acres of a family farm that had been in my family since 1870.

As he expounded to Rogan on what he felt was Woodward’s gross inaccuracy, Murray mused that as a result, he began to think that President Nixon was framed by Woodward’s similarly false reporting during the Watergate scandal.

President Trump is giving this anti-Israel campus rabble-rouser a ticket to study abroad — for good. A Palestinian activist who led the disruptive protests at both Columbia University and Barnard College has been arrested by ICE agents at his campus apartment, according to his lawyer. Mahmoud Khalil, who completed his graduate studies at Ivy League Columbia in December, also potentially faces having his visa revoked and his green card canceled following President Trump’s crackdown on unrest at colleges, attorney Amy Greer said Sunday. He was inside his university-owned apartment a few blocks from campus Saturday night when ICE agents entered the residence and took him into custody, Greer said.
