George Soros reportedly spent more than $52 million in
political spending, per Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings, according to
Breitbart
News.
The Washington Free Beacon reported on FEC filings from
Soros’s political action committee (PAC), Democracy PAC:
“Soros ramped up his political spending this cycle
through the Democracy PAC, which he created last year to pump large sums into
the coffers of other left-wing groups.”
“New filings to the Federal Election Commission show the
PAC doled out nearly $17 million last quarter, bringing its total cash
disbursements this cycle to $48 million. Soros gave another $4 million directly
to Democratic campaigns and committees without first depositing the money into
his PAC.”
“The $52 million cash influx is more than double Soros’s
previous high of $22 million, which came during the last presidential
election.”
The Washington Free Beacon reported:“
The liberal billionaire is taking steps to obscure his
election spending this cycle. In the past, he made donations to groups directly
in his own name.”
“This cycle, he has operated primarily by transferring
tens of millions from the Fund for Policy Reform, a $750 million nonprofit in
his sprawling Open Society Foundation network, into Democracy PAC. The PAC then
disburses it to other Democratic PACs and committees.”
“This arrangement allows Soros to keep his name
from the top of donor lists. His $50 million in contributions makes him the
largest donor of the 2020 cycle, though only $8 million is coming directly from
him." According to FEC filings, Soros’s political funding
exceeded his spending in 2016 by more than $30.
According to Open Secrets, Democracy PAC raised
$51,635,003 in 2020, of which it has spent $48,091,590. Its beneficiaries are
all left-wing and partisan Democrat PACs, including Senate Majority PAC,
Priorities USA Action, Win Justice PAC, Illinois Justice & Public Safety
PAC, Supermajority PAC, American Bridge 21st Century, and Pacronym.
Beyond political spending recorded by the FEC, Soros’s
Open Society Foundations network claims to have spent over $15 billion over the
past three decades. The U.S. is the organization’s primary target in terms of
total dollars spent on any single country.
The Open Society Foundation’s 2020 budget was valued at
over $1.2 billion, of which $261 million was spent targeting America. A
majority of the $261 spent on the U.S. was said to fund “democratic practice,
economic equity and justice,” “equality and antidiscrimination,” “justice
reform and the rule of law,” and “cross-thematic” programs.
Former National Security Council official Fiona Hill told
Congress on Thursday that Russians likely “played” Christopher Steele, the
former British spy whose anti-Trump dossier the FBI used to conduct
surveillance against the Trump campaign.
Appearing during the Trump impeachment hearings, Hill
reportedly testified that she believed Steele’s investigation of President
Donald Trump “was a rabbit hole.”
Hill’s testimony about Steele was just a small sample of
what she said about the former British spy during a closed-door deposition Nov.
14.
In that interview, Hill told lawmakers she was “shocked”
to learn Steele was the author of the dossier. She also said he was vulnerable
to potential Russian disinformation because he was “constantly trying to drum
up business” in the numerous meetings they had while she was a scholar at the
Brookings Institution.
Hill said she last met Steele in 2016, and that she was
not aware at the time he was investigating Trump.
She also explicitly stated that Russians might have fed
Steele with disinformation in order to put a cloud over an eventual Trump
presidency.
Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm working for the
DNC and Clinton campaign, hired Steele in April 2016 to investigate Trump’s
possible ties to Russia. He produced 17 memos that alleged a massive conspiracy
between the Trump campaign and Kremlin operatives. The special counsel’s report
undermined many of Steele’s major allegations. Attorney General William Barr
testified May 1 that he was “concerned” that the dossier was Russian
disinformation.
Hill was heavily critical of Steele, as well as the
media, during her closed-door testimony.
“The point that actually hasn’t come out and, again, why
I’ve been very cross in the media, is that the president was attacked as well,
because the Russians sought to discredit him,” she said.
Though Hill’s deposition was positive for Trump, House
Republicans largely avoided asking her about the same issues during the public
hearing.
Hill was called to testify about her knowledge of Trump’s
actions toward Ukraine.
Hill also revealed Thursday
that she first saw that dossier Jan. 9, 2017, when Brookings Institution
president Strobe Talbott showed it to her. BuzzFeed News published the report
the next day.
Talbott has deep connections to the Clintons. He was Bill
Clinton’s Oxford roommate in the 1960s, and served in his State Department in
the 1990s. Talbott’s brother-in-law is Cody Shearer, a Clinton-linked political
operative who worked on a Trump dossier of
his own in 2016. Shearer’s report ended up in the hands of Steele,
who shared it with his contacts at the FBI.
Hill has known Steele since the 2000s, when she
served as a national intelligence analyst for the Office of the Director of
National Intelligence and he was an officer with MI6.
This lady recalls a presentation by Florida Congressman
Syd Herlong in 1963 in which he presents a "Communist manifesto" for
the takeover of the US. It is very eye-opening, since much of what he read from
that document has already come to pass, and more is being done in that
direction every day.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosiappeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” this weekend,
and in defending football player Colin Kaepernick’smovement to take a knee during the
national anthem, she repeatedly proved she couldn’t even pronounce
his name.
“Somebody, Colin Komper… Komper… Kompernick doing
what he did, he said this flag enables me to do this, this anthem enables me to
do this, this is about freedom of expression,” stumbled Pelosi.
Needless to say, it was very clear the House minority
leader didn’t fully know the name of the person she’s so adamantly defending.
Watch the major gaffe above.
Nancy Pelosi defended
unemployed NFL
quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s “First Amendment” right to disrespect the
American flag during the national anthem, even if she struggled to say his
name.
During an appearance on “Meet The Press,”
Pelosi sided with the former 49ers quarterback, and other players refusing
to stand for our country.
The House Minority
Leader chided President Trump for his comments, saying she believes he’s
violating his promise to “bring people together.”
She didn’t criticize the players, who are offending so
many Americans.
“Colin Kaep— Kaep— Kaepernick, uh, doing what he did,
says this flag enables me to do this. This national anthem enables me to do
this,” she said, initially struggling to speak.
“This is about freedom of expression,” Pelosi said.
She added Trump’s response is “unfortunate” and believes
he was “ill advised” to criticize the anti-American players.
During an appearance for a U.S. Senate candidate in
Alabama on Friday, President Trump blasted NFL players standing against America
by taking a knee during the national anthem.
Campaigning for Luther Strange for the seat vacated by
now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Trump waded into the controversy.
“We’re proud of our country. We respect our flag,” the
president told the audience in Huntsville.
“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when
somebody disrespects our flag to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field!
He’s fired.’
“‘He’s fired!'” Trump shouted to a roaring audience.
The president’s slam comes one day after the stadium in
San Francisco for a game between the 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams was less
than half full.
“Time for kickoff,” LA Times reporter Lindsey Thiry
tweeted.
In the second half, the seats were only about half full.

NFL Players Should
Think Hard Before They Take A Knee
With the George Floyd protests and riots, feelings and
emotions have inevitably diverged with statistical fact more than ever. The
narrative is rammed down our throats at a rapid rate, while the statistical
data is inevitably more complex and requires part of an afternoon to digest. In
the age of high-octane social media, part of an afternoon is no longer on the
table.
So as this battle over Floyd is fought — although in
reality, it’s a unanimous agreement, not a battle at all — the sub-battles of
the culture war ensue. One of these battles is our great national anthem.
The anthem has been a topic of contention since Colin Kaepernick
took a knee. Fortunately, nothing too crazy followed. Some players
took knees, many did not, and most of America moved on with life.
But now, as passions are hot, the left has decided to get
some “woke contracts” signed ASAP. One of them directly asks players to declare
if they too will kneel for the national anthem.
Drew Brees recently gave one of the most eloquent answers
on this topic, declaring what our anthem means to him and honoring his family.
His explanation was nonpartisan and from his heart, and it was going to help
pave the way for his team and many others to follow suit with pride. Less than
24 hours later, the thought police attacked him, and he released an immediate
apology. His “taking a knee contract” has now been signed, and you had better
believe he will be kneeling from here on out.
Conservatives such as myself who reside in liberal cities
understand the pressure leftist peers and colleagues apply so we will agree
with them, like a leftist pick axe slowly chipping away at a rock of integrity.
One exhausting battle after another, it can be so tempting to grant a couple
wins to keep good relations. Often we are tempted to concede to preserve our
own livelihoods.
You see conservatives like George W. Bush falling into
the trap and contributing to the rhetorical nonsense of our “nation’s
disturbing bigotry and exploitation.” This short-sighted strategy to gain unity
and ease tension is really a long-term infliction of damage that only
reinforces the false media narrative, which seems to have no end.
The last two weeks have exhausted us emotionally. It’s
easy just to capitulate and say the words that make the leftists happy. Is the
anthem the hill we really want to die on? Yes, it is.
Not only does kneeling for the anthem have its own
symbolic importance for the heroes and defenders of our great nation, but
another issue is at stake here: The kneeling is for police brutality-related
deaths in the black community, which in 2019 resulted in exactly nine deaths of
unarmed black men within a black population of 30 million.
No matter how you feel about that number, do you ever
really think it will get lower or go away, given there are 375,000 interactions
with police every year? Do you think with human error and the occasional
outlying bad actor that number could ever possibly drop to zero?
Here’s a message to NFL players facing this decision: If you fear
the media blowback for not declaring now that you’ll take a knee, just think
how much press you will get hammered with if you declare you will take the knee
and decide later you want your national anthem back. You will have signed a
deal with the devil, and you will be on that knee the rest of your career. Think
very hard about this decision.
Emotions are high, and kneeling now is very tempting. We
all just want to be good people, and we are being told this is the way. Just
know this: Once you kneel, you will never get up again. Do not give up on our
national anthem.

"This is the real task before us: to reassert our commitment as a nation to a law higher than our own, to renew our spiritual strength. Only by building a wall of such spiritual resolve can we, as a free people, hope to protect our own heritage and make it someday the birthright of all men." --Ronald Reagan
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government." -- Edward Abbey
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." John Stuart Mill

INTEGRITY: The highest courage is to dare to be ourself in the face of adversity. Choosing ethics over convenience and truth over popularity means there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
They may be more likely to go to Heaven for good intentions yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.~ C.
