First Financial Fraud

The report from the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, led by Rep. James Clyburn, exposes widespread fraud in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), facilitated by financial technology companies (fintechs). The investigation targeted firms like Kabbage, Blueacorn, and Womply, and their partner banks, revealing systemic failures to prevent fraud while profiting from taxpayer-funded administration fees.

Chairman Clyburn criticized fintechs for neglecting fraud prevention, stating: “Even as these companies failed in their administration of the program, they nonetheless accrued massive profits.” For example, Blueacorn earned over $1 billion in fees, spending less than 1% on fraud prevention. Its founders reportedly prioritized high-dollar “VIPPP” loans, neglected proper vetting, and allegedly enriched themselves with fraudulent PPP loans.

Similarly, Womply generated $2 billion in profits despite inadequate fraud screening, with its systems described as “put together with duct tape and gum.” Womply’s CEO, previously convicted of insider trading, resisted federal fraud investigations and allegedly misused sensitive borrower data.

The report highlights how fintechs deflected blame, attributing fraud to Trump administration policies. Emails revealed attitudes like “the SBA’s shitty rules created fraud, not [us],” and efforts to evade accountability. […]

A Call to “Deconstruct the Administrative State”

Bannon emphasizes that the current government bureaucracy, or the Administrative State, was never part of the Founding Fathers’ vision. This vast web of unelected officials and agencies has taken on powers beyond its intended scope. Bannon describes it as “a massive bureaucracy that the founders and framers never envisioned.” He argues that under Trump’s leadership, this framework should be dismantled, cutting down government size and limiting its interference in daily American life. “You’ve got to take out programs, cut down the Leviathan,” Bannon asserts.

Russ Vought’s Role: The Man With a Plan

Bannon lauds Russ Vought, former director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), as a key player for this transition. Vought, known for his meticulous budget cuts, stands out for Bannon as a “deconstructor” of the government apparatus. “Russ Vought has flowcharts, waterfalls of data. He shows how we don’t need endless programs,” Bannon says, emphasizing Vought’s detailed approach to managing government spending and curbing excessive control.

Trump’s Experience: A Veteran Against the Deep State

Bannon views Trump as a seasoned warrior prepared to handle the pressures of a second term. He highlights Trump’s energy and determination, even under intense legal scrutiny, saying, “He’s faced 92 charges, gone through court battles, and still he’s the people’s choice.” Bannon suggests that Trump’s experience dealing with these challenges has made him uniquely qualified to tackle the Deep State.

Wolf’s Journey from Left to Trump

Naomi Wolf’s evolution from left-wing activist to Trump endorser marks a striking shift. Once known for her role in the feminist and progressive movement, Wolf now argues that Trump has transformed into a candidate who speaks for everyone. “You’ve become the unity party,” she told Steve Bannon in a candid conversation. For Wolf, this isn’t about just politics but about a greater purpose. She sees Trump as bringing together diverse groups across racial, cultural, and political divides—a stark departure from her former stance.

Health Freedom and Censorship Sparked the Change

A pivotal factor in her conversion was the COVID-19 vaccine controversy. Wolf, a longtime advocate for women’s rights and health, was alarmed when she claimed that her warnings about potential fertility risks from the mRNA vaccines were censored. “Instead of helping women protect their fertility, they lifted [my warnings] out to silence me,” she recounted. She alleges that under the Biden-Harris administration, tech companies were pressured to censor voices like hers. Wolf told Bannon, “You were the person who reached out to me and let me bring my concerns to your audience.” According to Wolf, Bannon and his War Room program gave her the platform she needed when other outlets silenced her, highlighting a key factor in her drift towards the right.

Trump’s ‘Unity Party’ and Inclusive Appeal

Wolf sees Trump’s recent alliances as evidence of his shift towards unity, aligning with figures like RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and even Elon Musk. She views this coalition as unique and inclusive, especially compared to what she feels is the Democratic Party’s reliance on division. “President Trump did something very smart,” she said. “He aligned himself with thoughtful, serious people across the political spectrum.” Wolf explained that this inclusivity sets Trump apart, positioning him as someone who is listening to real concerns of various demographics: “He’s speaking out to the concerns of black people, white people, Hispanic people…women, men. It doesn’t matter.” She contends that Trump’s stance contrasts with what she sees as the divisive tactics used by his opponents. […]

Criticism of Milley’s Comments on Trump

James Fanell, a retired Navy Captain and former senior intelligence officer, strongly criticized General Mark Milley’s recent public remarks about Donald Trump. Milley, who had previously served as the top U.S. military officer, described Trump as a potential threat to the nation, even suggesting he exhibited traits of a “fascist.” Fanell viewed Milley’s statements as a violation of the ethical standards expected of former military leaders.

Fanell noted, “These kinds of acts call into question the oath they took—defending against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” He argued that Milley’s remarks undermine the core constitutional principle of civilian control over the military. If Milley had legitimate concerns about Trump’s fitness as Commander-in-Chief, Fanell suggested he should have addressed them privately while still in office.

A Breach of Military Ethics?

Fanell emphasized that General Milley’s role as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was advisory, not operational. As an advisor to the President, Milley’s duty was to offer counsel, not to criticize a sitting or former President post-service publicly. “Milley’s comments show contempt for the office of the presidency,” Fanell remarked, highlighting how this contradicts the military’s tradition of non-partisanship.

Comparisons to Historical Figures: A Loss of Professionalism

Fanell compared General Milley’s behavior to historical military figures who maintained neutrality, even under pressure. He referenced General George Marshall, a former Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, who famously abstained from voting to avoid any appearance of political bias. According to Fanell, Milley’s recent remarks signal a worrying shift in the conduct of senior military officials, moving away from professionalism.

“Milley’s actions are unprecedented,” Fanell stated. He believes that such actions harm the reputation of the U.S. military as a politically neutral institution. Fanell argued that if Milley felt strongly against Trump’s leadership, he should have resigned during his tenure rather than airing grievances years later. […]

China’s Aggressive Maneuvers

In a troubling assessment, Jim pointed out that the geopolitical climate has deteriorated significantly over the past four years. He asked, “Are we better off today?” The answer is clear: we are not.

Just over a week ago, China conducted its “joint sword 2024 Bravo” military exercise, showcasing a test of a potential blockade of Taiwan. This exercise involved 153 aircraft sorties on one day alone. Jim noted, “This is a dangerous time,” pressing the situation’s urgency. China’s increased military activity threatens regional stability and international trade routes.

Escalating Tensions in the South China Sea

The situation in the South China Sea is equally alarming. Reports indicate that China has been harassing Indonesian seismic survey operations in its territorial waters. Jim stated, “China is threatening and harassing Indonesian operations.” This aggressive stance disrupts local activities and undermines international law and norms.

Moreover, China’s development of new intelligence platforms near Vietnam adds another layer of complexity to the regional threat landscape. Jim warned, “There’s a lot of activity going on around Taiwan,” stressing the implications for U.S. interests in the area. […]

Dr. Steven Hatfill and Dave Brat have put the spotlight on one critical question: Why did the systems meant to protect Americans during COVID-19 fail? Federal health agencies, tasked with overseeing the nation’s health response, not only neglected their duties but actively mismanaged them. Hatfill’s central argument was clear: “Our federal health agencies got rid of an effective drug, hydroxychloroquine, that could have brought the pandemic under control.”

The American people are still waiting for answers. Hatfill emphasized that “over a million deaths” were avoidable, had bureaucrats acted responsibly. The lack of transparency and accountability is a serious breach of public trust, and the calls for justice continue to grow louder.

Failed Oversight and Suppressed Solutions

Hatfill and Brat didn’t mince words when it came to the failures of government watchdogs. These agencies, including the FDA and CDC, not only pushed ineffective and dangerous drugs like remdesivir but also suppressed life-saving alternatives like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. “They paid billions for these agencies to be watchdogs, but now we need watchdogs over the watchdogs,” Hatfill argued.

The suppression didn’t stop there. Leading medical voices were silenced, censored by social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. “National experts in this field were blocked,” Hatfill noted, lamenting the censorship that left millions uninformed and vulnerable.  […]

Soros’ Influence and Elite Control

White argues that George Soros and other billionaires have too much influence over global and American politics. “There is a crisis in American political culture when a man like this is able to give billions” to control the political system, White stated. He criticized the Democratic Party for embracing figures like Soros, asserting that their financial power serves only to benefit the elite at the expense of ordinary citizens. White sees this as part of a broader strategy to rob people of their civil liberties, undermining their ability to govern themselves.

Crack Dealer Logic: Manipulation for Power

White used the phrase “crack dealer logic” to describe Soros’ moral relativism and his manipulation of political dynamics. According to White, Soros compares societal issues like the Holocaust to market transactions, using them to justify his financial and political actions. “It’s the same crack dealer logic that uses addiction to control people,” White explained. In his view, Soros exploits political crises and uses his wealth to control politicians, keeping power in the hands of a select few while leaving the rest of the country to suffer. […]

What they meant was our elections were accessed remotely from Belgrade, Serbia, on systems that have used the same basic passwords (like dvscorp08!, literally) for over 10 years.

These are just a few nuggets about the 2020 Election that came to light during the first hearing in DeKalb County Republican Party, Inc. v. Brad Raffensperger, a lawsuit trying to force the Secretary of State to do his job, follow the law, and secure the 2024 Election in Georgia.

This is new???

“These countries are all run by the billionaire class, right? It’s not just the countries decide to do this stuff. So who’s pulling the strings? And who wants to? Ultimately run the world, why it’s the richest people in the world, the richest corporations in the world, and you have to look no further than the world economic Forum. That’s the crowd. That means in Davos about every six months they offline in in their private jets and decide how we’re going to become slaves to them, “Bachman told WarRoom host, Dave Brat on Thursday.

In response to these threats, Bachmann urged Americans to take action by signing a petition at StopWorldGovernment.org. She believes mobilizing public support and influencing political leaders, including former President Trump, is crucial in countering these globalist initiatives.

“Please everyone go to StopWorldGovernment.org,” she implored. “We need to get this to President Trump so that he can weigh in on this.”

Overall, Bachmann’s remarks highlight her concerns about the growing influence of global governance bodies and their potential impact on U.S. sovereignty and international alliances. […]

Escalating Home Prices in Battleground States

Sophia Georges and Ben Harnwell’s discussion underscores a critical issue: the skyrocketing home prices in battleground states like Atlanta, Georgia, and Arizona. Georges points out that home prices in Atlanta have surged by “65% over the last couple of years” and in Arizona, affordability has plummeted by nearly “29% just in the past couple of years.” These increases are not isolated incidents but reflect a broader trend affecting crucial swing states that could influence the upcoming elections.

Consumer Price Index and Housing Affordability

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is often touted as a measure of inflation control, but Georges critiques its effectiveness, stating that “70% of that overall number is attributed to housing.” Despite the CPI showing a more minor increase in recent months, the real issue lies in housing costs. The index’s reliance on housing prices means rising home costs skewing inflation data, giving a misleading impression of economic stability. As Georges highlights, “this consumer Price Index number… although on the surface they may try to say that this is a positive number, it’s still a source of concern.”

Kamala Harris’s Homeowners Policy: A Reckless Approach?

Harris’s new homeowners policy, intended to make homeownership more accessible, is under scrutiny for being potentially reckless. Georges and Harnwell argue that the policy’s focus on financial assistance and lowering interest rates may exacerbate the affordability crisis rather than alleviate it. Harnwell notes, “throwing money at a situation giving people money for down payments… is really not going to cut it,” suggesting that such measures may lead to increased foreclosures and higher rent, rather than solving the underlying affordability issues.
