Fraudsters

 

There’s good reason that democrats are all about spending taxpayer money.

When organized criminal organizations acquire their ill begotten income, they need a method to circumvent the IRS. Many of these criminal enterprises use shadow companies to “launder” or hide their money from the authorities. Some criminals use real companies, but most are simply storefront businesses that create spreadsheets only. Noted 1930’s mobster Al Capone was incarcerated and died in Federal prison after being convicted of income tax evasion. One thing criminals always do is keep a record of their finances. That is how most criminals are eventually caught and prosecuted.

The efficiency of the democrat machine puts most criminal organizations to shame. The tangled web of fraud is deep and pervasive. The Substack site Dollar vs Peso has a great article documenting the fraud perpetrated by the democrat machine. Here. The United States government spent almost $7Trillion in 2024. That’s a 7 with 12 zeros after it. Hard to even imagine that much money. Harder still to have the proper oversight and management of those funds. But, if you’re in government long enough, one can find a way to redirect that funding to your benefit.

The now defunct USAID had a budget of $21.7Billion in 2024. Much of that funding went to non-governmental agencies (NGO) to administer. Once allocated for any matter of programs worldwide, government oversight ended. If you believe that the $50Million for condoms in Gaza were spent appropriately, I’ve got a bridge for sale that may interest you. $Millions were skimmed from these programs and redirected to the DNC from numerous USAID “programs” through various NGOs. Funding was provided to various entities that, in turn, redistributed a percentage of the funding to democrats and democrat causes. This scheme has been perfected by decades of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats that keep the gravy train rolling.

Catholic Relief Services (CRS) was the largest recipient of USAID funding, receiving $4.6Billion in 2024. They received an additional $2.9Billion in immigration related funding during the Biden administration. Over 90% of the political donations from employes of CRS went to democrat candidates and causes. Chemonics International was next with over $4.5Billion. 100% of political donations made by their employees went to democrat candidates. FHI 360 is next on the list with $3.8Billion in funding. Over 90% of their employees donated to democrat candidates. Planned Parenthood (PP) received $700Million in federal funding in 2024. PP donated over $5Million to democrat candidates and causes in 2024. George Soros’ Open Society received over $270Million from USAID since 2010. Your tax dollars go to fund soft on crime District Attorneys, is suspected of funding groups such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter, and other organizations that promote anarchy and disruption in democracies.

In a nutshell, democrats are dirty. Sure, some Republicans are too. Especially those who have been in office forever, but democrats are evil to the core. You can find blue dog, Kennedy democrats, but they are few and far between. In the hierarchy of democrat ambitions, serving the people is far down the list. Smurfs, straw democrat donors, used to give tens of $Millions to the DNC using their names and addresses, without their permission. Democrat funded and supplied protestors travel throughout the US to disrupt any policies deemed unsatisfactory by the democrat party. Lawsuit after lawsuit is filed by democrat operatives targeting everything from elections to congressional and executive actions to boards of education fighting wokeness. The democrats, their allies in the media, and activist judges will obstruct anything that impedes their agenda, and their agenda is counter to what we, the people want.

I was a loyal democrat until the mid-1990’s, union member, and chief steward. I voted for Jimmy Carter, twice. Yep, Bill Clinton, both times. Supported him during the Lewinsky impeachment hearings. Started listening to Rush Limbaugh on a bet for one week to prove to my conservative co-worker that I was right and he was wrong. I lost! That’s when I found out that I had closed my mind to anything that did not comport with my worldview. I had discovered the enemy, and it was me. I realized just how obtuse I had become. It was like my eyes had been opened for the first time. I began reading from conservative news and comparing it to liberal news. I became a recovering liberal who discovered just how bad democrat policies were to we, the people.

If more people took the time to really listen to all sides of an argument, I believe most would reject the policies of identity politics, wokeness, and divisiveness that embodies the democrat party. Democrats do not offer anything of value to we, the people. Democrats want to rule and not serve. Democrats are all about enriching themselves and maintaining power, that allows them to continue enriching themselves. Democrats must not remain in power in any government office or bureaucracy. We must clean house in Congress and remove partisan bureaucrats. If your representative is not aligned with your values, vote for someone who does. Let’s put God fearing, moral, and ethical servant leaders in Congress that serve we, the people, not themselves.

 

If at First You don’t Succeed

 

Lie, lie again!

As the democrat party fades into irrelevancy, they have launched a strategy to use outright lies to undermine the Trump administration. There is no nuance to their actions since they have nothing valid to offer this nation, other than bitter hatred of Trump. The democrat party was rejected in the 2024 election, yet they continue to embrace insane leftist ideology. Democrats have lost their way. They stubbornly cling to all things woke, even though this often places them at odds with 70-80% of the population. Not only is the democrat party failing to adjust their strategy to align with common sense societal values, they refuse to acknowledge the error of their ways.

Democrats on transgenderism – They remain steadfast in their belief that little Johnny can become little Janet and that if the child chooses to alter their gender, parents need not be consulted. It is ideology over reality. They approve of chosen gender pronouns, gender reassignment surgeries, and life altering puberty blocking drugs for minors. Anyone else that is gender confused can obtain medical treatments at government expense, including those imprisoned. Male inmates can elect to be housed with females if they claim that they are women. There are no unforeseen consequences to those actions that could occur?

Democrats on LGTBQI+ - Woke school boards allow pornographic homosexual novels to be placed in elementary school libraries. The very same books, when read aloud by parents at a school board meeting are shut down due to their graphic nature. Pride flags flown proudly at democrat state capitols take the place of state and POW flags. Pride parades that are no more than an excuse for homosexual exhibitionism are celebrated. Pride month? Where do their priorities lie?

Democrats on fraud, waste, and bloated bureaucracy – It would seem that making government more efficient and accountable would be an issue that transcends politics, but democrats are fighting DOGE tooth and nail. They are beholden to the public sector unions that funnel $Millions to the DNC. Unfortunately, some elected officials may find themselves in hot water once Elon and his compatriots follow the money trail from these bloated agencies. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are facing insolvency in the next decade. If we cannot trim down the federal budget, those entitlements could be severely reduced. Interest payments on the national debt is approaching $1Trillon annually. Democrats continue to accuse Trump of trying to gut those programs, when their obstructionism will adversely affect the solvency of those programs.

Democrats on “saving our democracy” – over 100 lawsuits have been filed to obstruct legitimate executive actions by cherry picking radical leftist judges, most that have no jurisdiction on the matter, then have the audacity to issue orders to the President. Imagine that, a US District Court Judge issuing rulings that restrict the executive branch from carrying out Constitutionally protected duties and executive orders. Next federal laws, upheld as constitutional will be struck down by any radical leftist judge and the democrats will approve.

Democrats as the “loyal opposition” party – Resist, obstruct, derail, lie, and whatever else is necessary to destroy not only the Trump administration, but the majority of this nation that elected him. Not only has their rhetoric influenced radicals within the US, it has emboldened other nations to act brazenly against the US. Our nation’s world standing has suffered as democrats continually rebuke every White House statement or action.

Democrats on tariffs – Other nations have accumulated massive trade surpluses with the US due to their imposing tariffs on US goods. Canada has amassed over $60 Billion, Mexico over $150 Billion annually. Democrats lambast President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs as “inflationary” when the reciprocity will simply level the playing field and likely lower other countries tariffs on the US. Democrats are wrong again and their resistance will ultimately harm the US consumer.

The list could go on, but democrats have made the choice to be on the wrong side of history, yet they resist changing direction. Unless they return to a semblance of normalcy and begin to prioritize serving the people again, rather than being the obstructionists that they now are, they will fade into oblivion. And it will be well deserved.

A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth, winking his eyes, speaking with his feet, and pointing with his fingers. With deceit in his heart he devises evil; he continually sows discord. Therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in an instant he will be shattered beyond recovery. Proverbs 6:12-15.

Sound a bit like today’s democrat party? Well, if the shoe fits, wear it!

 

Puppet on a String

 

democrat corruption on full display.

Notwithstanding the uncanny resemblance to Walter, ventriloquist Jeff Dunham’s puppet, President Biden shares much more in common with his doppelganger. Biden is obviously controlled by his bureaucrat handlers, just like Walter is controlled by Dunham. His numerous references to his “getting in trouble” and “I’m supposed to call on this reporter first,” having cue cards and running off the rails without a teleprompter, is evidence that our President is not running the show. He is merely an actor carrying out the directives of the real “leaders.” The Deep State is pervasive and ferociously protects their self-interests. In Biden, they have an easily manipulated, deeply flawed and compromised figurehead that allows them to inflict their will upon this nation.

When Barack Obama left office in 2017, he did not quietly ride off into the sunset. Unlike Presidents before him, he set up an office in DC and continued to have regular meetings with members of the Deep State and fellow democrats. I guess he was not kidding when he said that it would be fun to have someone in office that he could influence from his basement while wearing his sweatpants would be ideal. That way he could still run things without having to deal with all the other accoutrements that accompany the position. Unfortunately, the general populace has no clue of these events, since the leftist mainstream media omits reporting anything harmful to our “duly elected” President and his merry band of democrat operatives in Congress and the Federal government’s bloated bureaucracy.

People, though, are beginning to put two and two together and understand what Biden and the democrat party truly are, the greatest threat to democracy since the Soviet Union. No longer do they need to hide their disdain for the common man, it is out in the open for all to see. Why would the leader of a nation accuse half of the population as extremists and a danger to public order. In a September 2022 address to the nation, Biden said, “MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards, backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love." This type of dialogue is more than just counter-productive, it is absolutely irresponsible, and likely dangerous for maintaining a civil society, when the leader of the free world makes demonstrably false claims like this.

After Biden’s performance on the debate stage, it is more than apparent that there is no way that he is in charge, let alone even capable of performing the duties required of a President. This further shines a light on those who have aided and abetted this travesty. All the leftist pundits that proclaimed the “virtues” of Joe Biden sold us all a false bill of goods. The democrat party that promoted this doddering old fool to the highest office in the nation should be held to account. Securing power for democrats supersedes duty to the nation for both the media and the democrat party. You do not matter to either of them, only your vote for the candidate with a “D” after their name matters. Once they attain office, you are less than an afterthought.  

Sex, drugs, and rolls of cash from lobbyists drives the deep state and keeps our elected “representatives” under control. When the President himself is embroiled in potential fraudulent and perhaps illegal activity, it sets the bar for the whole of government.  There is likely less than 10% of Congress that is not on the take. Those who are truly public servants are ostracized by their peers as someone who just may upset the apple cart of money and lucrative jobs offers after they “retire” from Congress. The first step in returning this nation back to we the people, is to vote as many democrats out of office as we can, returning them to the minority party that they truly are. It is time to make certain that everyone in your sphere of influence casts their vote accordingly. It is time to make your voices heard and to bring an end to the corruption that is the democrat party.

Business as Usual

 Too many Politicians serve their own interests, not the public.

When this Constitutional Republic was born, elected public service was never intended to be a long-term proposition. A sense of civic duty would compel those skilled in leadership and governance to serve their fellow citizens for a time and then return to their private lives. Professional politicians that made their livelihood on the public dole was never the founding father’s intent. Greed and power drives too many of these elected elites, not the selflessness necessary to be a servant leader. Those who have little or no personal experience outside of government do not possess the skills necessary to make the decisions crucial to better the lives of those they serve. Those who consider themselves better than those they are charged to serve do not possess the ability to put others above their own self-interest. Those looking to enrich themselves fail to respect the people who elected them.

Career bureaucrats not only want to maintain the status quo, they want to build upon it. There is little restraint when the belief is that, we the people, can endure unlimited taxation. Budgets will expand due to rising expenses, but overlook many government template systems that have not been updated for decades. New programs often overlap existing programs and end up being redundant, providing the same or similar services. Governments that fail to constantly assess and reassess programs that serve their citizens are doomed to continue to increase the size and cost of their government. And that is just fine for many government organizations. That also is a recipe for disaster, since taxpayers are not an unlimited financial resource. Milwaukee and other democrat run cities overtax for their incompetent, ineffective, and inefficient government, forcing businesses and residents to leave for the suburbs.

Those that bring a business acumen to government are often met with resistance, even though their solutions benefit the citizenry. Upsetting the apple cart, slowing, or ending the gravy train are hard pills to swallow for the entrenched bureaucratic “Deep State.” Well, friends, if government behaved more like the private sector, they just may become proficient in providing necessary services that are not only cost-effective, but also delivered efficiently and timely. There is no valid reason to not constantly and consistently evaluate better ways of doing business. Our friends on the democrat side of the aisle believe that big government knows better. why fix what they do not believe is broken? It is apparently better to continue with failed policies that inflate the bureaucracy. Unwarranted and reckless spending policies have driven inflation exponentially. Now comes the “Inflation Reduction Act” that will be like pouring gasoline on a fire. The drive to enact the ultimate solution to what ails us is enacting a new form of “Democratic Socialism,” though wherever socialism has been instituted, it has failed. Unfortunately, not all “new” ideas are beneficial.

Replacing a free market system with a government-controlled economy is foolhardy and dangerous. Capitalism works because it incentivizes ingenuity. Capitalism works because anyone can succeed with the right mix of ideas and diligence. Capitalism works because everyone has the same opportunity to be successful, no matter where they come from. Socialism fails because the State removes any financial incentive to think outside the box. Socialism fails because there is no reward since all are equally compensated, no matter what they contribute or how hard they work. Socialism fails because all end up equally miserable, except for those in government leadership positions. The free market works. Government needs to get out of the way and let the free market innovate and create solutions. When government intervenes and picks winners and losers, we all lose as the best and brightest ideas are too often ignored.

Government does serve a purpose. Most importantly, it is there to provide for the public safety. It is there to provide a safety net to help those who cannot help themselves. It is there to provide safe and effective roadways to facilitate the free flow of trade. It is there to enact legislation to positively serve the citizenry. Government has become bloated and self-serving. It is filled with people that have little or no respect for the office or the citizens they serve. It’s time that good people with real-life experience dedicate a few years of their lives to help make this country a better place. It’s time for career bureaucrats to leave the duties of public office to those who know how to lead a successful business. It’s definitely time to demand that candidates earn our votes by properly representing the values of the communities that they serve. And it’s time that we all become a better-informed and engaged electorate.
