...Seattle University graduate, content creator, trans advocate, model and actress whose endorsements dropped by 90% post-Bud Light...
has bemoaned the recent loss of big-money brand partnerships — accusing companies of "caving to bullies" during the current backlash to their support of the LGBTQ community.
Montoya — who was banned from future White House events over Saturday’s "inappropriate and disrespectful" display — told The Guardian that June would usually be the most lucrative month of the year with brands keen to look like LGBTQ allies during Pride.
But this year, the boycotts and backlash against such campaigns by the likes of Target and Bud Light have also cut influencers’ cash cows.
"I’ve spoken to a lot of my trans friends and colleagues, and we’ve all noticed less brands seeking partnerships and smaller budgets for Pride campaigns," Montoya complained.
"It’s disappointing," the flasher said in an article published Tuesday, a day after her full-chested celebration at meeting President Biden.

What'ya going to do about it? Go shoot up a school? Call in some bomb threats? Get everyone who plays Harry Potter cancelled? Get the authorities to breach a spa so you can eye r*pe the changing room while fondling your c8ck? Try to murder Dave Chapelle again? Threaten to go into stores and shoot anyone who questions why you are in the wrong restroom?

The most rational course of action for this dude would be to contact companies and explain to them that he plans on going live in the buff for a spontaneous endorsement of their product which he loves so much that he doesn’t require remuneration from them. At that point, they will probably write him a check and have him sign a contract to never mention their product ever again under any circumstances. It would not, technically, be extortion. Kind of a Jesse Jackson strategy with a gender bender twist.

Free career advice... pr0nstar name: Brew Carrymore.
[NYPOST] The pain is getting deeper for the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... as the owners of one of the biggest shopping centers in the city decided to walk away after 20 years, in the face of declining sales, occupancy and foot traffic.
Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield said late on Monday it will transfer its Westfield San Francisco shopping mall to lenders.
The announcement followed Park Hotels & Resorts statement last week that it ceased making payments toward a $725 million mortgage linked to its Hilton San Francisco Union Square and Parc 55 hotels.
Westfield’s decision is the latest blow to San Francisco, the once-booming tech hub that has been particularly hard hit by the pandemic.
Office buildings lie empty as more people work from home, compounded by major layoffs by large tech companies.
The hit coupled with a rising US interest rate environment has made it costlier for companies to refinance their outstanding debt on these buildings, prompting loan payment cancellations or transfers of the properties back to lenders.

At some point many structures are 'too old to repair' because of depreciation ...and then the homeless / druggies / Antifa turn the property value to zilch. Welcome to downtown Mogadishu, friends.

State Department's Global Engagement Center (GEC) is headed up by James 'Jamie' Rubin, long-time Clinton operative and husband or possibly former husband of Christiane Maria Heideh Amanpour. Rubin was appointed as Special Envoy and Coordinator of the GEC on November 16, 2022 by Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
The FMIC was established on September 23 of last year after Congress approved funding, but its creation was announced publicly only after The Intercept’s inquiry. Because it is situated within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, it enjoys the unique authority to marshal support from all elements of the U.S. intelligence community to monitor and combat foreign influence efforts such as disinformation campaigns.
The FMIC is authorized to counter foreign disinformation targeting not just U.S. elections, but also “the public opinion within the United States” generally, according to the law. [Emphasis added]
[Amanpour & Co. - PBS] Elaine Chao previously worked in Trump’s cabinet but resigned after the Jan. 6 insurrection, saying it left her "deeply troubled...in a way I simply cannot set aside." Chao was transportation secretary under the former president, whom she called out for anti-Asian rhetoric when he used a derisive name and suggested she had ties to the Chinese government. She discusses with Walter Isaacson.
[FoxNews] A government watchdog group is filing a federal lawsuit against the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), arguing the agency has stonewalled records detailing Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's use of private government jets.
The group, Americans for Public Trust (APT), said it has repeatedly requested FAA records detailing how often Buttigieg has used the agency's small fleet of jets and the taxpayer costs associated with those flights. But, according to its lawsuit first seen by Fox News Digital, the FAA has improperly delayed producing the records on three separate information requests filed by APT.
"Pete Buttigieg abused taxpayer dollars by using a private jet to fly domestically and internationally," Caitlin Sutherland, APT's executive director, told Fox News Digital. "It’s been six months since we helped expose Secretary Buttigieg’s trips, but his agency refuses to tell the American people how much they’re on the hook for his extravagant travel arrangements."
[Breitbart] Attorney General Merrick Garland defended Special Counsel Jack Smith’s "integrity" days after Smith secured a grand jury indictment against former President Donald Trump. That's like having Hillary Clinton vouch for your ethics...
Trump made his first federal court appearance on Tuesday after being indicted by federal prosecutors on 37 charges stemming from Smith’s investigation into Trump’s handling of White House records.
Garland spoke to reporters on Wednesday and defended Smith, who is facing a barrage of attacks.
"When did you find out that the special counsel was headed down this track, and why did you choose not to stop him, as was in your power?" a reporter asked Garland.
"I can’t talk about particulars about this or any other ongoing criminal matter," the attorney general said, adding that "Any questions about this matter will have to be answered by their filings in court."
He then highlighted Smith’s "commitment to integrity and the rule of law."
"As I said when I appointed Mr. Smith, I did so because it underscores the Justice Department’s commitment to both independence and accountability," Garland told reporters. "Mr. Smith is a veteran career prosecutor. He has assembled a group of experienced and talented prosecutors and agents who share his commitment to integrity and the rule of law."

[Red State] Burisma Holdings founder Mykola Zlochevsky, who allegedly paid a total of $10 million in bribes to Joe and Hunter Biden in 2015 and 2016 in exchange for then-Vice President Joe Biden’s assistance in getting Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired, is believed to be an asset of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) by the United States intelligence community, according to a national security source speaking to RedState on condition of anonymity. The official said:
"The US intelligence community has a high degree of confidence in their assessment of Zlochevsky as SVR. This is not a new assessment; the intelligence community under Obama knew this, and Obama was briefed on it. Joe Biden and Victoria Nuland were briefed as well."
In a June 2021 RedState exclusive story about the defection of Chinese counterintelligence official Dong Jingwei, it was reported that among the "terabytes" of data Jingwei brought with him to the United States was information related to "details of meetings US government officials had (perhaps unwittingly) with Chinese spies and members of Russia’s SVR."

[NYPOST] Rep. James Comer, Sen. Chuck Grassley and other congressional GOPers are dead right to take the fight to the FBI over its longtime interference-running for the Biden mafia, most recently seen in Director Christopher Wray’s refusal to hand over key documents around allegations that Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. SOld, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?... took a huge bribe in exchange for policy decisions as vice president.
But what’s happening in terms of investigating the allegations themselves?
They know their full substance: that Joe and son Hunter got a total of $10 million for backing the ouster of a Ukrainian prosecutor looking into Mykola Zlochevsky, the head of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which paid Hunter a juicy salary for a board position (though he lacked any experience in the sector or Ukraine itself).
They know that these allegations come via a high-ranking Burisma exec, possibly Zlochevsky himself, and that this exec claims to have both Joe and Hunter on tape; they know the name and standing of the whistleblower — apparently a regular, reliable source for the FBI since 2010.
And they know the claims don’t come via Rudy Giuliani; the FBI merely surfaced the 2017 allegations after he raised similar issues.
So while Comer & Co. need to bring the hammer down on FBI malfeasance — as they’ve been doing — they must do anything and everything possible to get at the facts of the case here.

[FoxNews] The House of Representatives on Wednesday voted against the idea of censuring and condemning Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., for insisting that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.
In a 225-196 vote, lawmakers decided to set aside the censure resolution against Schiff, effectively killing it and preventing a vote on passage. The resolution, introduced by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., was opposed by 20 Republicans as two other GOP lawmakers voted "present" along with five Democrats.
The resolution was known to be on shaky ground with some Republicans. One expected "no" vote, Rep. Tom Massie, R-Ky., said he opposed the idea of a fine against Schiff — the resolution up Wednesday recommended a $16 million fine but did not require it.
"Adam Schiff acted unethically but if a resolution to fine him $16 million comes to the floor I will vote to table it. (vote against it)," he tweeted Wednesday.
"The Constitution says the House may make its own rules but we can’t violate other (later) provisions of the Constitution," he added. "A $16 million fine is a violation of the 27th and 8th amendments."
Along with Massie, the 19 other Republicans voting with Democrats to kill the resolution were Reps. Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota, Lori Chavez-DeRemer or Oregon, Juan Ciscomani of Arizona, Tom Cole of Oklahoma, Warren Davidson of Ohio, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Kay Granger of Texas, Garret Graves of Louisiana, Thomas Kean of New Jersey, Kevin Kiley of California, Young Kim of California, Michael Lawler of New York, Tom McClintock of California, Marcus Molinaro of New York, Jay Obernolte of California, Michael Simpson of Idaho, Michael Turner of Ohio, David Valadao of California and Steve Womack of Arkansas.
It wasn’t clear late Wednesday whether House Republicans might try again with a resolution against Schiff that leaves out all mentions of possible fines.
The resolution that failed on the House floor Wednesday said claims of Trump-Russia collusion were cooked up by Trump’s political opponents and pursued by the Department of Justice despite the lack of any solid foundation for suspecting collusion.
The resolution says the Democrats’ claims of collusion were "revealed as false" by "numerous" investigations, including Special Counsel John Durham’s probe into how the investigation into Trump was launched. It says that report, and reports from Special Counsel Robert Mueller and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, show that collusion "does not exist" despite Schiff’s public claims to the contrary.
"By repeatedly telling these falsehoods, Representative Schiff purposely deceived his Committee, Congress, and the American people," the resolution says.
"Representative Schiff lent credibility to the Steele dossier — a collection of debunked collusion accusations funded by President Trump’s political rivals — by reading false Steele allegations into the Congressional Record," it says.
"Representative Schiff composed a false memo justifying the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant application on Trump associate Carter Page, which Inspector General Horowitz later found was riddled with 17 major mistakes and omissions, provoking FISA Court Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer to state unequivocally that the Federal Bureau of Investigation '[misled] the FISC,'" it adds.
"Representative Schiff used his position and access to sensitive information to instigate a fraudulently based investigation, which he then used to amass political gain and fundraising dollars," it says. "The American taxpayers paid $32 million to fund the investigation into collusion that was launched as a result of Representative Schiff’s lies, misrepresentations, and abuses of sensitive information."

The bill should have been split into two parts, one for censure, which I am sure would have passed, and the other for the $16M fine, which would have probably failed.

I heard the estimated damage of Schiff's lying and stupidity was $32 mil. The fine was, somewhat arbitrarily, set at half of the damages or $16 mil.
[Epoch Times] The United States needs to have a greater leadership role in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other international financial institutions to support impoverished countries and limit China’s influence, according to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
Yellen appeared before the House Financial Services Committee, defending a proposal to bolster the government’s participation in the IMF’s New Arrangements to Borrow program to ensure financial support for the organization’s resources. Yellen also requested authorization to extend financing to the IMF’s two critical trust funds—the Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust and the Resilience and Sustainability Trust—and bolster U.S. involvement in the African Development Fund and the International Development Bank.
In recent years, as part of its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Beijing has served as a substantial lender to many poor countries, such as Ghana and Sri Lanka. But a chorus of U.S. officials, including the Treasury secretary, have expressed growing concern about how China engages with impecunious countries, eventually leaving them trapped in significant levels of debt without achieving the broader aim of economic development.
It’s estimated that the People’s Bank of China maintains a 5 percent interest rate on its loans. This is higher than the IMF’s 2 percent.
Experts say that the Chinese government has initiated restructuring discussions with its borrowers, but Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.), vice chair of the House Financial Services Committee, said that China keeps dragging out these talks.
#6
We need to borrow more from China to lend to the IMF to give away without hope of repayment in most cases, so the UN-Centric IMF can compete with China's Belt and Road, which is paid for by the profits China makes from selling their stuff to the West? Really, when our national debt is over 33 trillion so far? YJCMTSU!

Is this the same Janet Yellen who is in favor of de-dollarizing the world economy, which would vastly reduce our influence? Or is there some other Janet Yellen out there saying these things?
