Democrats get ready to issue anti-Semitic Ilhan Omar their 'stern warning'
By Monica Showalter
Three episodes of anti-Semitic remarks in two months of office, and Democrats are now taking Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, to task:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and top Democrats will take floor action Wednesday in response to controversial remarks by Rep. Ilhan Omar about Israel, the second such rebuke of the freshman Democrat from party leaders in recent weeks.
Pelosi and other senior Democrats have drafted a resolution to address the controversy, which ballooned over the weekend following a public clash between Omar and senior Jewish lawmakers.
The resolution, which began circulating to members Monday night, comes after a backlash from top Democrats who accused Omar of anti-Semitism for referring to pro-Israel advocates' "allegiance to a foreign country."
The draft measure is four pages that largely details the history and recent rise of anti-Semitism in the U.S. but does not specifically name Omar, which had been an internal dispute among Democrats.
That's the proverbial "stern warning," following on from Pelosi's earlier "yelling at" statement to Omar for the second incident, yet the press reports it's somehow unprecedented.
Actually, they're doing nothing, and Omar can see they're doing nothing, not even naming her for her statements, which are the reason the resolution is coming out in the first place. She's an odious anti-Semite; she's proven it with her statements, covering the map of the anti-Semitic universe — from Jews rule the world to Jewish money controls politics to Jews having dual loyalties — and now she's doubling down on it, refusing to apologize.
What they should be doing is forcing consequences for that kind of talk, such as taking away her coveted House Foreign Relations Committee seat. Rep. Steve King lost his committee assignments for a lot less, and not only is Omar using that seat to travel at taxpayer expense to places of interest to her, such as Eritrea, which borders her native Somalia, but she's using it to grandstand against the U.S.'s measured response to Venezuela in a way that the Russians or Iranians would find pretty pleasing. She's also got access to top-secret information even as her anti-Semitic views and disgusting Jew-hating terrorist-linked associates make her a security risk. She doesn't belong anywhere near a House Foreign Relations Committee seat, and her three anti-Semitic statements should be reason enough to throw her off.
What's more, she's ignoring her Democratic colleagues who have asked her to apologize, such as House Foreign Relations Committee chairman Eliot Engel, seemingly taking the advice of famed anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, who called her "sweetheart" and told her to stop apologizing. Even creepier, she's now claiming she's the victim.
So now she gets a House resolution for her refusal to cut it out. Bully for that. The press says it's a big deal, but it's not a big deal because she's just going to keep carrying on as she's always carried on. Like any anti-Semite or Jew-hater, she's obsessed with the topic and can't stop talking about it. Once the resolution is passed, she will keep on making Jew-hating statements. She's already done it three times, ignoring past rebukes.
What a loserly bunch these Democrats are. Once the resolution is passed, Omar will come out with a new anti-Semitic statement, and once again, they'll make another "stern warning." They'll do it till the cows come home and Omar seizes the "narrative."
All they are doing is showing how ineffectual they are. When a party can't put a damper on the open anti-Semites in its ranks, it's obviously unfit for any right to issue laws to the rest of us.

Ocasio-Cortez and her puppet-master Chakrabarti Scandal #2: A million bucks is unaccounted for
By Thomas Lifson
Money raised from donors by 2 political action committees (at least one of them problematic) was mysteriously “transferred” to two private corporations (LLCs) controlled by Saikat Chakrabarti, the founder of Justice Democrats, the group that recruited, trained and ran the campaign that got Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez elected to Congress. There is no record of those private corporations providing services in exchange for the donations, which raises the question of what was done with this money?
Alana Goodman writes in The Examiner:
Two political action committees founded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s top aide funneled over $1 million in political donations into two of his own private companies, according to a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission on Monday.
The cash transfers from the PACs — overseen by Saikat Chakrabarti, the freshman socialist Democrat's chief of staff — run counter to her pledges to increase transparency and reduce the influence of "dark money" in politics.
Chakrabarti's companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how the political donations were used.
The arrangement skirted reporting requirements and may have violated the $5,000 limit on contributions from federal PACs to candidates, according to the complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group.

S.A. Miller of the Washington Times continues:
“These are not minor or technical violations. We are talking about real money here,” said Tom Anderson, director of NLPC’s Government Integrity Project. “In all my years of studying FEC reports, I’ve never seen a more ambitious operation to circumvent reporting requirements.”
He added that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, “has been quite vocal in condemning so-called dark money, but her own campaign went to great lengths to avoid the sunlight of disclosure.”
The PAC money went to Mr. Chakrabarti’s Brand New Congress LLC and Brand New Campaign LLC, entities that, unlike PACs and candidate campaigns, do not have to report or itemize their spending.
The Ocasio-Cortez campaign also was paying Brand New Congress LLC for “strategic consulting.”
One of these new corporations, Brand New Congress, LLC, funneled money to Ocasio-Cortez’s live-in boyfriend:
Another FEC complaint by filed last week by the Coolidge Reagan Foundation alleged Brand New Congress PAC was involved in a scheme to funnel money to Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s live-in boyfriend, Riley Roberts.
At the same time Mr. Roberts, a 29-year-old web developer, received payments totaling $6,0000 as a “marketing consultant” for the PAC, the Ocasio-Cortez campaign was paying Brand New Congress LLP for strategic consulting.
Asked about the payments, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez focused on the legal entities handing the cash.
“He’s not on my payroll. They were not working for me and they are two separate entities here,” she told The Washington Times. “This is the difference between an LLC and a PAC.”
The Coolidge Reagan Foundation, a conservative Washington nonprofit focused on free speech and campaign finance, said it looked like a shell game.
“The timing and amounts of these transactions, the use of two affiliated entities as intermediaries, the vague and amorphous nature of the services Riley ostensibly provided, the magnitude of these transactions compared to both the limited funds the campaign had raised at the time and the total amount of its expenditures, and the romantic relationship between Ocasio-Cortez and Riley collectively establish reason to believe these transactions may have violated campaign finance law,” said the group’s complaint.
In my experience, a lot of socialists are actually quite avaricious, adopting the rhetoric of socialism to mask their own greed. Consider the wealth ripped off from Cubans by the Castros, and from Venezuelans by the Chavez family, both of which families are considered billionaires. The Examiner describes Chakrabarti as:
…a Harvard graduate and technology entrepreneur who became an organizer for Bernie Sanders during the socialist's 2016 presidential campaign
If the million bucks sent to the LLCs ended up in his pockets, without being declared as income, he is in for a world of hurt. I would guess that he is smarter than that, but the question remains, other than a boyfriend, who else profited off the money?

Ocasio-Cortez and her puppet-master Chakrabarti Scandal #1: admission of illegal control of a PAC supporting her candidacy
By Thomas Lifson
Two separate but related scandals are rocking Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her puppet-master Saikat Chakrabarti -- the man who recruited, trained, and financed her election victory, and who now is her chief-of-staff.
Scandal number one is well-explained by Andrew Kerr of the Daily Caller News Foundation. In essence, federal campaign finance law allows donations larger than the $2,500 limit for contributions to actual campaigns if they are sent to a political action committee (PACs), but strictly forbids control of PACs by candidates or campaigns. There is strong evidence that the Ocasio Cortez and Chakrabarti controlled just such a PAC, and may have made deliberate efforts to conceal that. The concealment would be a key issue in determining whether a civil penalty (fines) or criminal penalties (prison) would be in order if the violations are proven.
Because of the complexity of campaign finance law, the article explaining the situation is long, and if you have the time, you should read the whole thing. Some key excerpts:
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti obtained majority control of Justice Democrats PAC in December 2017, according to archived copies of the group’s website, and the two appear to retain their control of the group, according to corporate filings obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation. If the Federal Election Commission (FEC) finds that the New York Democrat’s campaign operated in affiliation with the PAC, which had raised more than $1.8 million before her June 2018 primary, it would open them up to “massive reporting violations, probably at least some illegal contribution violations exceeding the lawful limits,” former FEC commissioner Brad Smith said.
Ocasio-Cortez never disclosed to the FEC that she and Chakrabarti, who served as her campaign chair, controlled the PAC while it was simultaneously supporting her primary campaign, and former FEC commissioners say the arrangement could lead to multiple campaign finance violations. The group backed 12 Democrats during the 2018 midterms, but Ocasio-Cortez was the only one of those to win her general election.
The lack of official disclosure is important in light of this admission:
Justice Democrats stated on its website from December 2017 until two weeks after Ocasio-Cortez’s June 2018 primary victory that she and Chakrabarti held “legal control” of the PAC, and corporate filings obtained by TheDCNF show that the two still serve on the three-member board of Justice Democrats on paper.
Political committees are affiliated if they are “established, financed, maintained or controlled by … the same person or group of persons,” federal election law states.
[Former Federal Election Commission member Bradley] Smith said: “The admission makes it open and shut if someone wants to file a complaint with the FEC. I don’t see how the FEC could not investigate that. We’ve even got their own statement on their website that they control the organization. I don’t see how you could avoid an investigation on that.”
And if the FEC concludes that Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign and Justice Democrats were operating as affiliated committees, “then anyone who contributed over $2,700 total to her campaign and the PAC would have made an excessive contribution,” which is a campaign finance violation, Smith told TheDCNF.
Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign and Justice Democrats raised a combined $4.6 million during the 2018 midterm election cycle, FEC records show. There’s a maximum five-year prison sentence for anyone who knowingly and willfully receives a collective $25,000 or more in excessive campaign contributions in a single calendar year.
I’d be surprised if prison terms result. They are exceedingly rare in campaign finance cases. But given the effort of Democrats to fabricate a criminal campaign finance violation case against President Trump via payments to Stephanie Clifford, aka, Stormy Daniels, they are definitely on the table now.

House Democrats' H.R. 1 is the ballot harvester's delight
By Monica Showalter
Just found out Pelosi is in town...Ugghhh
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has cooked up something new for Monday morning, a so-called "sweeping anti-corruption package" communistically titled the "For the People Act." or H.R. 1, which pretty much seeks to bring the California model of politics to the rest of the states in terms of rigging elections. A more accurate title for this nasty brew would be the "Ballot Harvester's Delight Bill of 2019." Or as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell put it, "The Democrat Politician Protection Plan."
Here's how bad it is, according to center-left Axios:
The bill's key provisions:
Campaign finance: Create a small donor, matching-fund system for congressional and presidential candidates; expand the prohibition of foreign political donations; require super PACs and "dark money" political groups to make their donors public; and restructure the Federal Election Commission.
Ethics: Mandate that presidents and vice presidents release 10 years of their tax returns; create an ethics code for the Supreme Court; and bar members of Congress from serving on corporate boards.
Voting rights: Allow citizens to register to vote online and be registered automatically; require paper ballots in federal elections; make Election Day a federal holiday; prohibit voter roll purging; and end partisan gerrymandering by having independent commissions redraw congressional districts.
The matching fund system is disgusting all by itself, enabling leftists to not have to raise campaign money to hold onto office even after presenting a raft of bad ideas. Imagine Ilhan Omar getting free taxpayer money to buy television ads and take advantage of her name-recognition (bad as it is) to hold onto her congressional seat. Free money for pols to advertise themselves on television or in other matters always ensures that they'll find a way to get more of it. I always vote 'no' on that little tax box for the donation of a dollar of taxes to presidential campaigns and the fact that most of us do pretty well tells us how unpopular that idea is.
But it gets worse, far worse. The tax returns item is obviously aimed at President Trump because he made a lot of money in business before he became president, and as such amounts to a shot against him alone. Most us would be fine with billionaires releasing their tax forms if it included all billionaires, with George Soros in the mix. And everyone else, too while we are at it - I'm looking at you, Nancy Pelosi. If she doesn't want to join the fun, then maybe we should leave the IRS to look at the matter and inform us when there's a problem.
Worst of all is that third provision described in the Axios report. Online voter registation, the bots' paradise? Just say no. Automatic voter registration whether you like it or not? Such as they have in California, which has resulted in tens of thousands of illegally registered non-citizen voters? Way to go - just Californify the whole nation. Paper ballots? What they mean by that is involuntary mail-in ballots, the kind I get without ever asking for them here in California - which is precisely what enables ballot-harvesting by foreign nationals in California's election. Given the potential for fraud with electronic systems, paper ballots sound all so very nice, but we all know how Democrats use them to their advantage in California -- they were ahead of all of us. An end to voter-roll purging? After people have moved and registered elsewhere, but the mail-in ballots are still appearing at their mailboxes as the ballot-harvesters watch election returns and check voter rolls to see who hasn't voted? Such a huge recipe for fraud. Inactive voters should be thrown out immediately. Judicial Watc had to sue Los Angeles, home of the nation's largest concentration of illegal immigrants, to force the county to purge its massive, 1.5-million-strong inactive voter roll tally, given its potential for ballot-box stuffing.
As for partisan gerrymandering, yes, bad stuff, but since when has an independent commission ever been independent? Democrats will stack those things and call them 'independent.' To heck with that, far better to just elect people who will have to answer to the voters for sneaky maneuvers made. The voters are the only truly independent commission.
Bloomberg dismisses the bill contemptuously as a 'dead-end' bill because it has no chance of passing the Senate or being signed by President Trump. That's fair enough. But given that Democrats are laying out what they stand for by it, it also serves as a warning of what they really have in mind should they take power. This is it - the full Californification of U.S. electoral politics to ensure that the entire U.S. becomes a permanently blue state, based on tactics duplicated from Mexico's PRI party, the one Mario Vargas Llosa described as "the perfect dictatorship" given that it ruled unopposed in what was billed as a 'democracy' for more than 70 years.
This ought to be a rallying point for Republicans as the truth of the matter about this 571-page bill passes the House and gets touted as an 'anti-corruption bill' in the press. This one's overdue for some GOP truth-telling pushback.

Who Is Paying for Sandy O?
By James Lewis
So, a new star is born!
Not just a pop star, but a D.C. power pop star.
Alexandria!
But if we have any political brains, we know perfectly well that miraculous new stars coming out of bartending in the Bronx represent Big Money somewhere. You don't buy a hot new barrista from the Bronx without a lot of careful stage management, big investments, and payoffs to Nancy Pelosi to back off and let this freshling rise far beyond her actual achievements — and the media, let's face it, are anti-American.
So we have to ask our own questions and guess at some reasonable answers.
In Hollywood, stars are launched, not "discovered" by magic. They represent huge studio investments. Launch the wrong star, and somebody loses a ton of money. Hollywood is not in biz to lose money.
So here is the puzzle.
Alexandria O-C, AKA Sandy O, is suddenly rising to high headline status, followed by a gazillion Twitter-heads, including some actual human beings, perhaps, and it all happened with amazing speed.
Just as the Dem field for 2020 is forming. What a coincidence.
It's just like the miraculous rise of that other Big Star in Demo politics, one Barack Hussein Obama.
(Have we seen this stunt before? Yes.)
In Barack's case, we know a little bit about his launch money, including Bill Ayers and the Pritzker fortune. But it is also alleged that the Muslim Brotherhood (the Nazi-era jihadist organization) put tons of money into Democratic politics, including, at a reasonable guess, by way of Huma Abedin, Hillary's intimate friend, whose family are all M.B. bigs.
Now, it is legal for Muslims in America to send dollars to Democrats if they are U.S. citizens, and if they're not, they can always contribute to some bundler, who might be their local imam or mullah. Same thing for Iranians; same thing for Somalis and all the rest. It's legal money, more or less, and that is one reasonable guess for Hillary's special Gmail account and that server in the closet.
We have no idea if those Gmails were echoed to a secure server that turned them into encrypted messages going to friends abroad, who in turn contributed to the Clinton Foundation and to many, many other Democrats — maybe a few Republicans, too.
We simply do not know.
But we're not stupid.
So yes, a star is born, and she looks like a younger Obama in a little black dress.
Pure coincidence, of course, and just in time, when La Raza del Norte wants to find a messianic figure whom millions of useful idiots are yearning for.
All that publicity doesn't come cheap — not in that world.
This may look like a spontaneous rise of a miraculous savior, who appeals to people who think with bodily organs other than their brains. As for the upper levels of The Party (not really "the Democratic Party" anymore), those upper political egos are conspicuously silent, to make room for La Pasionaria or Evita — take your pick.
In Juan Perón's Argentina, Evita was supposedly the star who felt sorry for the poor, while Juan, in his macho uniform, did what had to be done. To make it even better, Alexandria is rising in the P.R.-hungry political world just at the time when a little female machisma is getting popular on campus.
I saw Sandy's lookalikes appear in the medical world, when Obama-"care" was still on track. They looked like Commissars, with a capital C. And they were sort of bi-looking athletic types, like Sandy O. A lot of bronze faces.
Waddayaknow — just when the useful idiots and their Pied Pipers are ready, here comes the chiquita for our times!
And all those hungry egos on the left are getting out of her way.
So who might be paying for all that? Who is soothing the tender egos of Hillary and the rest, who are also hungering for the spotlight?
It looks like a lot of money, and a lot of political planning, a lot of Machiavellian plotting, a lot of back-scratching behind the scenes, all that.
Is the timely rise of Ocasio-Cortez just before the 2020 presidential campaigns a pure spontaneous piece of luck for the deeply depressed Dems?
Fat chance.
So: money and power.
Where can the crazy-radical left in the world find whole new supplies of gold to donate to the string-pullers for AOC?
Here are some guesses. Don't believe the guesses — just watch what the anti-American Democrats do.
1. La Raza del Norte, which is openly supporting Ocasio-Cortez. Plus Carlos Slim, the richest billionaire in Mexico, who probably has ties to the cartels because even honest people can't survive south of the border without making deals with gangsters.
Remember how Obama and Holder smuggled long guns to the border cartels, helping to stoke a war that kills 30,000 Mexicans each year?
2. Anybody who hates Trump might want to add to the Ocasio-Cortez charitable fund. That means a lot of big powers on the left, including Obama-backers looking for a new brown person to fall in love with.
3. Our sworn enemies, including the Iranians, the jihadist Gulf States, and any number of Muslim billionaires who want to have Palestinian children become their favorite martyrs. The Trump administration leaked info about a meeting between Louis Farrakhan and Iran's Ayatollah Rouhani during the O administration, which included Keith Ellison, who almost became head of the DNC and is probably running the joint anyway.
My private bet is that some of that 180 billion dollars Obama and Valerie sent to the mullahs ended up in Chicago Democrat pockets. Just a little wheelin' and dealin': the U.S. taxpayer sends 180 billion dollars on big airplane buckets to the mullahs, and they pay off the Democrats, including Obama, Valerie, Hillary, and John Kerry, but especially the newest version of Barack Hussein Obama to appeal to the idiot vote.
But I can't prove it.
4. Vladimir Putin, who is constantly helped by the Democrats when they undermine this country, which is what Putin really wants.
Putin is an old KGB Rezident who loves to play double and triple games. He doesn't care if the leftomedia scapegoat him. He likes it. It's classic KGB dezinformatziya.
5. The ongoing Obama Machine, because Obama's personality can't allow him to play second fiddle to anybody for very long, which means that his media silence is the dog that didn't bark in the night. Meanwhile, they're checking out Michelle's numbers.
6. George Soros, and the 18 billion dollars he just contributed as "a gift to charity" to his son's Open Society leftist front group.
Let's pretend each of those six money sources adds a billion bucks to the New Star is Born campaign. We know that the money is there, just sloshing around in enraged neo-Marxist and jihadist brains around the world. That money is aching to be spent on a get-Trump campaign. Sandy O hates Donald Trump, which is good enough for them.
That's a working guess in a world of lies. The question is whether Ocasio-Cortez's miraculous career will keep rising, while Hillary suddenly announces she is not running, after all, maybe. If Ocasio-Cortez continues her miraculous rise, and if you don't believe in false prophets, well, here is another way to think.

Stuck on stupid: Dems doubled down Sunday on failed conspiracy theory of Trump ‘collusion’ with Russia
By Thomas Lifson
Yesterday, on the Sunday morning political interview TV talk shows, Democrats made it clear that they have learned nothing from the apparent failure of the Mueller witch hunt to find anything actionable, nor from the disastrous Republican attempt to impeach Bill Clinton more than 2 decades ago. In the words of Talleyrand, they have “learned nothing and forgotten nothing.”
The self-contradictory testimony of Michael Cohen apparently was irresistible bait. They are, in some other immortal words from General Russell Honoré, “stuck on stupid.”
Former Clinton political operative George Stephanopoulos peepared his viewers on ABC’s This Week:
For now, party lines holding fast, but six House committees armed with subpoena power are now poised to examine every facet of President Trump’s life — his campaign, his White House, his foundation and the business that made him famous.”
Despite his own star witness Michael Cohen flaming out, Adam Schiff just can’t let go of the famous Trump Tower meeting with Russians seeking to repeal the Magnitsky Act:
MARGARET BRENNAN: Cohen said though in that open testimony, he had no direct evidence of collusion with Russia. The Senate Intel chairman also said at this point no evidence of collusion at this point. Have you seen— do you have direct evidence of collusion with Russia?
REP. SCHIFF: Well I think there is direct evidence in the e-mails from the Russians through their intermediary offering dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of what is described in writing as the Russian government effort to help elect Donald Trump. They offer that dirt. There is an acceptance of that offer in writing from the president’s son Don Jr. and there is overt acts in furtherance of that. That is the meeting at Trump Tower and all the lies to cover up that meeting at the Trump Tower and apparently lies that the president participated in. That to me is direct evidence but there’s also abundant circumstantial evidence. There is for example evidence of Manafort sharing internal polling data with someone linked to the Russian intelligence services.
Even more damning, speaking to Stephanopoulos, Gerald Nadler -- even as he acknowledges the need to bring along public opinion for impeachment -- seems to have stumbled over his words and admitted that impeachment is about trying to “steal” (his word) the 2016 election (Rush transcript via Grabien):
NADLER: “No. We have to – we have to do the investigations and get all this. We do not now have the evidence all sorted out and everything to do – to do an impeachment. Before you impeach somebody, you have to persuade the American public that it ought to happen. You have to persuade enough of the – of the opposition party voters, Trump voters, that you’re not just trying to …”
STEPHANOPOULOS: “That’s a very high bar.”
NADLER: “Yeah. It is a very high bar. The United States trying to steal the (inaudible) to reverse the results of the last election. We may or may not get there. But what we have to do is protect the rule of law.”
The New York Post editorial board sees clearly that this is a doomed enterprise:
Key House chairmen on Sunday made it plain they’re charging ahead on what President Trump calls a “witch hunt” — talking as if they already have proof of impeachable offenses even as they announce they’re going to keep looking for something, anything, that actually fits the bill. (snip)
Look: Special Counsel Robert Mueller has been looking into all of this and more for nearly two years. Any effort to suppress his findings is sure to fail thanks to leaks.
“New” investigations will give Nadler & Co. regular opportunities to posture. But it all boils down to the Keystone Kops’ effort to restage “All the President’s Men.”
Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a real phenomenon, a psychological condition that suspends the normal faculties of discernment and judgment in otherwise-intelligent people, leading them to self-destructive behavior. We are in the midst of watching a mass delusion playing itself out over the next 20 months until the electorate speaks in November 2020. The full court press of the mainstream media in support of the Democrats’ agenda misleads them into thinking the public isn’t getting tired and angry over repeated unsuccessful attempt to prove something for which there is no evidence

Gallup reports that 57 percent of Democrats have a positive view of socialism. But do they even have any idea what they’re talking about? The same poll shows respondents supporting small business and free enterprise and rejecting the idea that government is doing too little.
THIS is why they need to be properly challenged every time they bring up Socialism
