[FoxNews] Liberal mega-donor George Soros has directed $1 million to an activist group attempting to defund the police as violent crime surges in major urban centers across the nation.
Soros sent the million dollars via his Color Of Change PAC on May 14, according to Federal Election Commission files obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The organization describes itself as "the nation’s largest online racial justice organization" and actively engages in efforts to defund police departments such as spreading an online petition calling for "divesting from and dismantling the systems that unjustly harm Black people."
The group also backed a push by the Milwaukee City Council to defund the police.
"Policing is a violent institution that must end," the group’s president wrote in a statement supporting the move. "We imagine a country where there is enough money to educate our children, care for our sick and feed those who are financially unstable. Defunding the police allows for this vision."
Violent crime has surged dramatically in many large cities across the United States this year, including in areas where Soros has spent large sums of money electing Democratic candidates who have promised to ease sentencing requirements and implement relaxed bail reform laws.
In 2018, Soros spent millions of dollars to help elect current Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon who promised to implement sentencing reforms and decriminalize certain illegal activities. In 2021, the Los Angeles City Council redirected funds from the LAPD to social outreach organizations.
This year in Los Angeles, murders are up 20% and violent crime has spiked which has contributed to a rampant homeless crisis that many argue Gascon’s policies have made worse.
Philadelphia, where Soros spent almost $2 million electing District Attorney Larry Krasner, currently has the highest murder rate per capita among the 10 largest cities in the country and homicides have risen 35% this year.

Giving them too much money encourages sloppy, ineffective practices, g(r)omgoru. Also, an archive search reveals this is a repeat grant to continue and expand proven operations, not start-up seed money.
Finally, Mr. Soros and the rest of the Progressive Billionaire Club each have a large number of intersecting charities that give to one another’s projects, so that what is reported seems to merely hint at how much a given NGO actually receives.

^Actually, this is an interesting question. Given that Soros annoyed not just Americans but Russians as well - how come he's still alive. Who's provides his back?
#6
He is only one of many putting their money where their Progressive Billionaire and near-billionaire hearts are. And his sons are actively involved in running his foundations, so the entire Gendankenexperiment is pointless.
What needs to happen is that blame for rampant criminality is laid directly at the feet of the financiers of these politicians and activist groups, and the mere suggestion of their support becomes political poison.

'If satan be divided against satan', I suppose.
There are no governments which actually value the words written of in our lofty books and bills. If there were there'd be fewer people on the planet and the wood chippers would run day and night until a semblance of order was won.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Democrat Illinois Rep. Marie Newman admitted to a federal judge that she offered a six-figure job at her congressional office to a potential political rival, an apparent bribe that may be a federal crime.
The broken contract in question was offered to Iymen Chehade, a local Paleostinian activist who was considering running against Newman in the primaries last year.
According to legal filings obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, "The contract between Newman and Chehade promised the activist a senior role in Newman's congressional office should she be elected. The role did not require Chehade to maintain specific hours at the office, despite paying a $140,000 salary. The contract also gave Chehade complete discretion about the selection and employment termination of staff members under his supervision."
It appears that the job never materialized, however, and Chehade wound up suing Newman. The legal action was settled out of court in June 2021, with the terms not made available to the public. Kendra Arnold, the executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, stated: "Civil liability and government ethics and criminal liability are two completely separate things. The civil court case is between her and the other individual."
"Whether they resolve their personal differences has nothing to do with the ethics case and her issues with the federal government. The facts in the civil case show the ethics concerns are significant," Arnold said.
The Newman campaign acknowledged the settlement in a statement to the Free Beacon: "Congresswoman Newman and Chehade have resolved their dispute and the lawsuits have been dismissed by agreement," the campaign said. The front man did not respond to additional questions about the ethics complaint.
[NYPOST] As vice president, Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage... kept a variety of private e-mail addresses from which he would sometimes forward and receive government correspondence, Hunter Biden ...son of President Joe: cashiered from the Navy, a crackhead, wheeler dealer, leg humper, horn dog, and general all around ne'er do well. We're supposed to feel sorry for him..... ’s laptop shows."Robin Ware," "Robert L. Peters" and "JRB ware" were three such pseudonyms on e-mails that mixed official and family business.
In a four-week period in 2016, for instance, John Flynn, who worked in the Office of the Vice President, sent Joe his official daily schedule to his private e-mail address Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov and copied Hunter.
There were 10 such e-mails copied to Hunter between May 18 and June 15, 2016.
In one e-mail from Flynn to Joe, a k a Robert Peters, on May 26, 2016, and copied to Hunter, the schedule includes "8.45am prep for 9am phonecall with Pres Poroshenko."
Poroshenko was president of Ukraine and, at the time, Hunter was being paid $83,333 a month to sit on the board of corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings Ltd. Hunter introduced top Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi to his father in April 2015 at a dinner at Café Milano in Washington, DC.
In December 2015, Biden famously threatened Poroshenko that he would withhold $1 billion in US aid unless he fired Ukraine’s top prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who at the time was investigating Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky. Shokin was removed from office on March 29, 2016.

if true this is a big deal but I'm not sure it is true
I'd be more sure if Judicial Watch or others with investigative experience weighed in on it

IMO this is endemic in our Federal, State and Local governments. Thwarting the FOIA and avoiding stuff leaked to the press by mistake or a bureaucratic enemy's malice.

There are now foreign news agencies spending a great deal of time regularly talking about how grotesquely incoherent and when coherent how corrupt he is. Deep State support looks like the work of people who are fools as the rest of the world sees them.
[NYPOST] The Department of Justice has decided not to investigate whether the civil rights of residents in New York’s government-run nursing homes were violated by Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo ...Dem dynastic governor of Noo Yawk, the son and heir of the late Mario Cuoma and formerly married to a Kennedy. Acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID epidemic, he managed the nation's highest corpse count while successfully hiding the returns and writing a book praising himself. Among the nation's horniest politicians, he has about a dozen allegations of sexual harrassment and groping against him. Noo Yawk's politix being what they are, he is still hanging tough, waiting to ride it out.... ’s controversial admission policy related to the COVID-19 pandemic.In a letter Friday, the DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs told US Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), ranking member of that House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, that New York was off the hook in connection with potential violations of the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act.
In August, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division requested information from New York in connection with a March 25, 2020, order from the state Department of Health that required nursing homes to admit "medically stable" COVID-19 patients discharged from hospitals.
It also sought records from Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Jersey, which adopted similar rules that the DOJ said "may have resulted in the deaths of thousands of elderly nursing home residents."
"We have reviewed the information provided by these states along with additional information available to the Department," Deputy Assistant Attorney General Joe Gaeta wrote Friday.
"Based on that review, we have decided not to open a CRIPA investigation of any public nursing facility within New York, Pennsylvania, or Michigan at this time."
[NYPOST] As a mayoral candidate, Maya Wiley famously said she’s “been black all my life” — but that’s cold comfort to her failed campaign’s unpaid vendors, who are owed nearly $1 million, including a black-owned business that now has to lay off employees.
“This could break my business,” the vendor told The Post, speaking this week on condition of anonymity because he signed a contract with the campaign that bars him from speaking to the media.
“That was revenue I was waiting for to be able to pay my staff. It means I have to make some cutting decisions when it comes to staff,” he said about his five-figure invoice.
The business owner said he’s looking at two to three layoffs.
Wiley owes 28 individuals and companies a combined $999,664.51, including over $500,000 to GPS Impact, a Des Moines, Iowa-based political communications company for ads and fundraising; $40,320 to Bumperactive, an Austin, TX-based company for campaign merchandise; and $211 to the United States Postal Service for postage and a P.O. box rental, according to Campaign Finance Board records.
