Conservatives welcome. Libs & RINOs go away. It's all of you destroying the society and conservatives must no longer appease you!
President Joe Biden’s nominee for U.S. attorney general, Merrick Garland, said during the first day of his confirmation hearing on Monday that the attacks on federal courthouses in the Pacific Northwest may not qualify as domestic terrorism because the attacks happen at night when the court is closed. “Let me ask you about assaults on […]

After calling for an end to partisan gerrymandering, House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) quietly funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to former attorney general Eric Holder’s effort to redraw electoral maps in favor of Democrats, filings show.
Pelosi’s leadership PAC, PAC to the Future, pushed $300,000 to Holder’s National Democratic Redistricting Committee late last year. In 2019, Pelosi said partisan gerrymandering efforts "compromise the integrity of our democracy."
Holder’s group is gearing up for a once-a-decade redistricting process that significantly influences which party controls Congress. It will serve as a data and legal hub and as a go-between for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and state legislatures, according to Politico.
Paul Pelosi, the speaker’s husband, oversees the finances for her PAC, the only political committee linked to a politician that has donated to Holder’s group in the past two years. The group is at the forefront of left-wing gerrymandering efforts, the likes of which Pelosi once opposed.
"This year, the Democratic Majority passed H.R. 1, the For The People Act, which works to end to partisan gerrymandering by requiring all states to establish independent, nonpartisan redistricting commissions to draw open and transparent statewide district maps after each Census," Pelosi said in 2019. "We will continue to fight partisan gerrymandering, ensure every citizen’s vote counts and oppose any attempt to compromise the integrity of our democracy."
Holder’s group has also received a six-figure contribution from George Soros’s Democracy PAC, which is primarily funded by the billionaire’s nonprofit network. A number of union PACs, including Service Employees International Union, Transport Workers Union, and the American Federation of Teachers, have also poured cash into Holder’s group.
The group’s board is composed of individuals from a host of left-wing groups, including Ali Lapp, executive director of the Pelosi-linked House Majority PAC, and Noam Lee, executive director of the Democratic Governors Association. It has also been aided by top Democratic lawyer Marc Elias, a partner out of the D.C. office of the Perkins Coie law firm who has led challenges against Republican-drawn electoral maps in recent years.
The National Democratic Redistricting Committee was born out of a quiet strategy session between former president Barack Obama, Pelosi, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), and former Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe before Obama left the White House. The group identified breaking up Republican-controlled legislatures as a top priority. Holder has said the group’s mission is "personal" to Obama, who resented Republicans for disrupting his agenda in the House of Representatives.
The coronavirus pandemic has made redistricting efforts more complicated than usual. The Census Bureau has pushed back the release of its population count—which is used to allocate House seats—from March to September. The delay will leave states scrambling and time crunched to redraw their congressional maps ahead of the 2022 elections.
An inquiry sent to Perkins Coie, which is listed as the contact for Pelosi’s leadership PAC in FEC records, was not returned.

"It’s A National Crisis" – Officials Admit Billions Lost In "Veritable Tsunami" Of Pandemic Aid Fraud
With so many people needing unemployment benefits during the pandemic, it comes as no surprise that the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General (DOL-OIG) has found an unprecedented amount of fraud in the unemployment program created by the CARES Act, according to NBC News.
The DOL-OIG estimates at least $63 billion of the $630 billion in disbursements were squandered by fraudsters. The agency warns that taxpayer funds loss could be higher, with some figures suggest north of $100 billion.
Readers may recall Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) fraud exploded across the country last summer because there were virtually no checks and balances, allowing criminals to file fraudulent loans.
Fraudsters were buying mansions, exotic cars, fancy clothing, and even Bitcoin. Some of these folks were caught; others remain on the loose as their fraud’s complexity has yet to be uncovered.
California observed a great deal of unemployment fraud. One rapper netted $1.2 million in an unemployment benefits scheme. He even made a video about the scam. He gave a "shoutout" to President Trump for the CARES Act.
Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said this "isn’t just a California problem – it’s a breakdown of catastrophic proportions that has failed the American taxpayer."
The Justice Department has launched a task force to find pandemic aid fraudsters across the country – it’s only now that the true extent of the loss is being realized.
"Early indications in some states point to massive problems," said NBC.
A shocking review of pandemic aid payments last June revealed Nebraska’s auditor found two-thirds of unemployment payouts were misspent. Kentucky’s auditor found that its vetting process was so inadequate that it breached federal law.
During the pandemic, the former executive director of Kentucky’s state workforce agency told staff in an email:
"Keep in mind, the goal is to put money in people’s hands ASAP to help them survive," according to the DOL-OIG audit.
Identity verification company, ID.me, told NBC that in at least 21 states, there’s a "veritable tsunami" of fraudulent claims overwhelming state unemployment systems.
"It’s like looking at fire burning inside of a house, but no fire alarm is going off," said Blake Hall, the chief executive officer of ID.me. "It really is a national crisis."
NBC reached out to state workforce agencies across the country to gather some intel on how much money they have lost to fraud. Most labor agencies said there are no figures on the true extent of the losses as they’re still being investigated.
ID.me said some fraudsters resorted to the dark web to obtain Social Security numbers and other personal information to create false claims.
"It’s so widespread and indiscriminate that they even target people who are heads of law enforcement agencies," Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul told NBC.
Being so widespread means "it’s going to take a while to figure out the scope of this thing," said Mason Wilder, a senior research specialist at the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. "But the scale of it just dwarfs anything else."
A Labor Department spokesperson told NBC:
"We are working on a comprehensive approach to partnering with states to minimize fraud, waste and abuse, while making sure Americans who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own are able to receive the benefits they deserve and desperately need."
Some fraudsters took their PPP checks and fled the country.
The CARES Act, commonly referred to as a "helicopter drop" by some economists, was just that – and has proven so far to be a disaster in stimulating long-term growth but instead produced a sugar high in the economy with an eventual cliff.
Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP created the CARES Act Fraud Tracker that shows the latest fraudsters busted by the Feds.
While lawmakers debate President Biden’s $1.9 trillion economic rescue package, fraud cases could surge once more – it could take quarters, if not years, to figure out some of these complex fraud cases. Maybe "helicopter dropping" trillions of dollars on the economy is not an effective measure after all.

Only a small percent of President Joe Biden’s proposed $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package would actually go to pandemic-related efforts. Reason’s Peter Suderman reported this week that just 1% of the package would be spent on vaccines, with only 5% going toward “pandemic-related public health needs.” A full 15%, about $300 billion, is earmarked for […]

According to a new report, Trump is now courting donors for a new social media platform.
The Washington Examiner reported:
Former President Donald Trump has told friends he has hundreds of millions of dollars in backing for a new social media venture that would give him an online presence and protect conservatives from being shut down online.
Two sources familiar with discussions said investors included Silicon Valley figures motivated by fears of censorship and online “cancel culture.”
Details emerged as Trump began a new phase of his post-presidency, giving television interviews from his Florida base in the week after his Senate impeachment acquittal.
Trump is yet to join any alternative social media platform since Big Tech banned him.
During one of his first interviews since he left office, he spoke about this as well.

During this interview, he also said that he does not want to go back to Twitter.
If Trump ends up going this route, it will really hurt Big Tech.
Twitter announced it lost $1.14 Billion dollars in 2020.
Big Tech is in trouble.
