I Have Questions

Under subpoena, the far Left fundraiser ActBlue gave up documents to the House Administration Committee that showed that ActBlue did not begin automatically rejecting foreign donations (which I take to mean the organization made no serious effort at all) until last September.

Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R, WI):

The documents provided to the Committee also confirm that ActBlue still accepted these concerning payment methods in July, a period when Democrats raised a record number of campaign money before implementing these safeguards.

My questions: to which Progressive-Democrats did ActBlue forward the money?

How much of those illegally accepted and then forwarded funds have those Progressive-Democrats returned to the donors, either directly or through ActBlue?

Or it should be. Biden administration folks, on the way out the door, are jumping to employment at the special interest groups and lobbyists who influenced their decisions while they were in office, and they’re doing it at a higher rate than prior administrations. For instance:

Even though Trump has vowed to roll back the Biden-Harris administration’s climate agenda, these relationships will be maintained and could be strengthened as former federal employees under the current administration go to work for climate groups that will continue to lobby the agencies in support of the activists’ preferred policies.

Not necessarily.

If the incoming Trump administration personnel are true to the terms of their selection for nomination, and if the kitchen cabinet DOGE group, with their goal of reducing the size of the Federal government work force (among other goals), has sufficient influence in Congress, those lobbyists and special interest groups should have little influence, especially with fewer bureaucrats available to be…lobbied…and so easier to keep under control by their government bosses.

In an ideal operation, they should be irrelevant altogether. Especially, they should be ignored if they’re employing ex-Biden administration officials, given those worthies’ utterly failed, damaging even, policies.

“Numbers Under the Hood”

David Plouffe is a highly talented politician and political advisor, and he was a top aide to the Harris campaign. He says the cardinal sin of the Progressive-Democratic Party (my term, not Plouffe’s) this time around was in not having a primary to select a replacement for Joe Biden in the just concluded campaign and election.

Leave aside his eliding the fact that Party already had eschewed primaries early last winter when they actively blocked primary challengers to Biden, allowing even a token challenge only ‘way late in the primary season.

The more important part of Plouffe’s claim is this:

When I got in, it was the first time I saw the actual numbers under the hood. … [D]emographically, young voters across the board—Hispanic voters, Black voters, Asian voters—were in really terrible shape.

Young voters, those Hispanic, black, and Asian voters were in terrible shape. That was because they were switching in large percentages, and in smaller but significant percentages, away from Party and toward the Republican Party and Republican and Conservative candidates.

What utter oblivious arrogance. What deep contempt for us American citizens. Wait, a reader might say. He meant the polling figures, that’s what he meant.

No, he didn’t. Words are this talented politician’s and advisor’s stock in trade. If he’d meant that, he would have said that. Instead, he said what he said, and that’s what he so clearly meant.

This is Party’s arrogant contempt for us, and we need to be thoroughly wary of it in the next several elections.

Free Speech in New Jersey

It’s not allowed, at least in one township, especially if it’s centered on our flag or our Constitution.

This Progressive-Democratic Party-run Township of Edison, NJ, enacted an ordinance banning the use of that symbol of our nation and that governing blueprint for our nation while speaking before the township’s governing council. When a resident of the township, a citizen of the State and of these United States, did so anyway, Council President Nishith Patel had security eject the citizen from the meeting.

This is all too typical of the Progressive-Democratic Party’s attitude toward our core freedom.

It Needn’t End the Investigations

The lede amply summarizes the intrinsic dishonesty of the Biden family syndicate:

Joe Biden began his presidency with a series of lies about his son Hunter’s business dealings: the laptop was Russian disinformation, the family didn’t get China money, and the future president never consorted with influence-seeking associates.
And he is ending his tenure in the White House with a stunning broken pledge.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R, KY) seems to be giving up on the matter.

It’s unfortunate that, rather than come clean about their decades of wrongdoing, President Biden and his family continue to do everything they can to avoid accountability

Now is not the time to quit, though, especially not now with Joe Biden’s penchant for lying laid so bare.

Even if there can be no criminal liability attached to any investigation outcomes, the investigations still need to run to prompt, thorough completions and their results published. Biden’s pardon—a President’s pardon—is constitutionally provided, but for limited purpose:

…Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

That leaves open the possibility of civil consequences.

At the very least, there would be accountability in the public’s eye via publicity-driven retribution for the Biden syndicate and for those Progressive-Democratic Party politicians who supported the syndicate or who participated in the several coverups.
