Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters has paid her daughter approximately $650,000 to date for ‘running’ her mother’s mailer campaign.   

 

 I never knew sending out mailers was a 6-figure paying job and could make one a millionaire is such a short period of time!  

 

I wonder if any business in the private sector pays $650,ooo to send out mailers. Maxine Waters and her family are life long grifters

Blaming Russia rather than Saudi Arabia and Israel 

 

Russia has never influenced US policy making but Saudi Arabia and Israel have and continue to do so.    

 

The fact that America still can be influenced by foreign powers is due to greed which leads to a voluntary surrender of US interests whilst those of a foreign state are elevated.  

 

America doesn’t depend on Saudi or Israel for survival, but in a corrupt country, money talks and this is what America has become: a corrupt country that is so rich and so powerful it doesn’t even need to be corrupt, but greed has got the better of integrity.

 

The world depends on cheap oil from Saudi Arabia and many Americans like to lavish themselves in the easy money that flows from the repressive desert kingdom. 

 

Likewise, the US based Israel lobby is extraordinarily powerful in terms of monetary influence. Groups like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) donate millions to political causes. By contrast, groups which oppose Israel’s foreign and internal policies do not have that kind of money and therefore do not have that kind of influence.

 

What a shameful state it is, that US politicians feel the need to rely on foreign money for personal enrichment. I can understand why leaders in the poor countries that America dominates feel the need to go along with American money and influence in order to enrich themselves or even keep their nation from total collapse or invasion, but what is America’s excuse?

Claudio Osorio, Jeb Bush & The Clinton Foundation 

 

Osorio's company was supposed to be making construction panels for affordable housing; Osorio eventually admitted that he was actually ripping off investors. Osorio pleaded guilty in 2013 and is serving a prison sentence of 12.5 years. 

 

Former Gov. Jeb Bush sat on the board of directors at Osorio’s company, InnoVida. Bush also made almost $500,000 as a consultant for InnoVida. 

BUSH WAS ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND WAS OBLIVIOUS THAT THE COMPANY WAS A FRAUD. 

 

The Clinton Foundation has returned $22,000 that was donated by Miami Beach fraudster Claudio Osorio.

 

Osorio and his wife, Amarilis (Moran) Osorio, were known as big fundraisers for the Democratic Party and had been recognized for philanthropy. A YouTube video showing Bill Clinton at a fundraiser at Osorio's house was removed after Osorio was sued by neighbors for fraud.

 

Osorio used his connections to get a $10 million loan from a government agency, the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation. Osorio said it would be used to build homes in Haiti following the earthquake there, but investigators said several million dollars were used to repay previous investors in his company, InnoVida. Osorio's construction panel business collapsed amid allegations of fraud in 2010.

At Least 11 Mayors Accused Of Child Sex-Related Crimes Since 2016 

 

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray resigned on Wednesday after a fifth man publicly accused the Democrat of molesting him as a child.

 

But Murray isn’t alone. At least 11 then-current and former mayors have been accused of child sex abuse-related crimes since 2016. The allegations range from child porn to physical abuse. The alleged victims were as young as four years old.

Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) paid out more than $27,000 from his taxpayer-funded office budget after the woman filed a complaint through Congress’ Office of Compliance in 2014, according to Buzzfeed

 

Conyers was accused of telling the former employee to touch his genitals, insisting she stay in his hotel room while they were traveling, and suggesting she would be promoted or compensated for performing sexual favors, according to the report.

 

 

A fourth woman accused former President George H.W. Bush of sexual harassment, claiming he touched her inappropriately while she was seeking a seat in Maine’s Senate.

 

 

CBS This Morning co-anchor Charlie Rose today became the latest high-profile media personality to be accused of sexual harassment, according to a report in the Washington Post. Rose also offered an apology for his behavior. The Post reported:

 

“Eight women have told The Washington Post that longtime television host Charlie Rose made unwanted sexual advances toward them, including lewd phone calls, walking around naked in their presence, or groping their breasts, buttocks or genital areas.

New York Judge Rules Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Unconstitutional 

 

 

 

The CFPB had two two primary, albeit unspoken, functions.  First, it was structured as a holding center for fines and assessments against any financial organizations opposed by progressives.  Second, it was a distribution hub for the received funds to be transferred to political allies and groups supportive of progressive causes.

 

To pull off this scheme Elizabeth Warren et al ensured it was structured to allow no congressional oversight; however, it was also structured to have no executive branch oversight – and the funding mechanism for the CFPB budget was directly through the federal reserve.  The lack of any legislative or executive branch oversight made the entire scheme unconstitutional.

Congress passes bill to make members pay sexual misconduct claims       https://www.reuters....t-idUSKBN1OC2V0

 

“Time is finally up for members of Congress who think that they can sexually harass and get away with it. They will no longer be able to slink away with no one knowing that they have harassed. ... They will pay back the U.S. Treasury,” one of the House co-sponsors, Representative Jackie Speier, a Democrat, told reporters. 

 

Over the past year, several U.S. lawmakers have left office following sexual misconduct allegations, including Democratic Senator Al Franken, Democratic Representative John Conyers, and Republican Representatives Trent Franks and Blake Farenthold. They all denied the allegations.

Peter Schweizer’s ‘Secret Empires’ Named Top 5 Best ‘Political Corruption’ Books of All Time  https://www.breitbar...ks-of-all-time/

 

Secret Empires reveals how both Democrat and Republican leaders have been cutting lucrative backroom deals and funneling the benefits to their children and other family members for years, a phenomenon that Peter Schweizer, a four-time New York Timesbestseller calls: “The new corruption.”  

 

Namely, the 336-page book delves into how former Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter, along with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, have profited handsomely from business deals involving the communist Chinese government. Secret Empires also includes a host of revelations about former President Barack Obama, Trump White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, and progressive mega-donors George Soros and Tom Steyer.
