Imagine that. Democrats largest fund-raiser CEO of ActBlue repeatedly takes the 5th.

The head of perhaps the largest fringe-left fund-raising scammers in America, ActBlue, REALLY "acted blue" by invoking her 5th Amendment rights against self-incrimination at a House hearing.

Odd that they'd be so concerned over the "convicted felon" in the White House while electing a convicted felon and RE-electing a convicted felon while funding a criminal enterprise designed to fund democrat campaigns.

The money quote?

"Your board chairman said, 'ActBlue accepted up to 38 MILLION contributions in 2024 that had the signs of foreign origin.'"

Another beaut:

In a memo to staff: "If an otherwise legitimate donor uses a fake name, we would want to accept their donation."

The technical term for that is called "money laundering."

This is not the first time ActBlue has been called out. In the past, this organized crime ring has been accused of donor verification loopholes:

The House Committee on House Administration, chaired by Rep. Bryan Steil, accused ActBlue of accepting online contributions without requiring the card verification value (CVV) or billing address, and of allowing donations from prepaid cards, which could be used to launder foreign or illegal contributions.

Fraud and Identity Theft: Whistleblowers and journalists reported cases where elderly or first-time donors—often with fixed incomes—made large sums via ActBlue without their knowledge, sometimes using “dummy” accounts sceneinamerica.com. The Treasury flagged hundreds of suspicious transactions, and the House Oversight Committee cited “potentially fraudulent and illicit financial activity”

Anomalous Giving Patterns: Steil’s FEC data review found disproportionate donations relative to donors’ net worth, frequent small transactions (e.g., hundreds of $2.50 donations from the same person), and unusual giving from certain demographics.

Some of these things have been known for years. Particularly the multiple $2.50 donation scam.

Now, obviously, every democrat funded by ActBlue will now return the illegal monies they received from this (or any other) criminal enterprise. Right?

And they will now refuse to accept ANY ADDITIONAL money from this criminal enterprise in the future. Right?

Fat chance.

The Party of Platner, their nazi, misogynist, veteran-hating, mad texter scammer candidate for the US Senate in Maine, who otherwise wouldn't be hired to run an elevator, will not be phased by these crimes.

Their faux outrage over electing "a convicted felon" when they do the exact, same thing aside; don't count on any demand for accountability from this campaign fraud factory any time soon.

As I have oft-stated: to be a leftist requires one to be a hypocrite.

And as the left remains silent in their complicity, let's remember: If they were called "ActRed?"

The leftists in government would tear them apart, brick by brick.

Much like they'd tear Platner apart if HE claimed to be a Republican.

Not the only question is when will this criminal organization be indicted and how many years in prison will little Miss 5th Amendment get?

Leftists and RINOS try to shut down the military on Iran

Bad move. Memo: death to America is NOT just a bumper sticker.

I get that your terrorist supporting fringe-left base is pissed at you. But EVERY president, including your fringe-left god Obama, has warned of the Iranian threat... and even 60 Minutes has indicated they have weapons grade uranium.

So tell me, Congresswoman... if a nuke goes off in NY harbor... because you wanted us to stop going after the scum who've made no secret of their desire to destroy us... what then? After the mushroom cloud goes up?

Because frankly?

The resignation of everyone voting to handcuff this president simply would not make up for it.

And we know the surviving leftists will, of course, blame Trump, because in their delusional world, Iran doesn't MEAN it. After all, they're just making noise, and besides, Iran hates Jews so why would we slow them down?

And as always for the leftist haters, NO ONE, including YOU, OR Joe Kent offers ANY viable alternative. And continuing to hand over pallets of cash like Obama and Biden did?

That ain't gonna cut it.

See, it's easy to talk shit here as the ignorant, non-serving, Trump hating leftist scum commenting here are wont to do. But until you and those like you offer any viable alternative, then what? never even HAD a nuclear weapons program until Trump.

Right?

I get that neither you nor your staff read these comments.

But on the off chance SOMEONE in your office puzzle palace does, by all means, enlighten us.

If not what we're doing now, then what, precisely, do you offer as a viable alternative?

Seattle's Curse: Katie Wilson. You wanted stupidly incompetent in your mayor. You got it.

I'm reasonably sure that not ALL mayors named Wilson are as cluelessly inept as the two local versions infesting the PNW now, Katie and Keith Wilson, although THEIR clueless stupidity will remain the stuff of legends for decades to come.

Besides having a last name in common (I have, to date, not heard of any kind of familial connection) they have the same fringe-left insanity of each other in common as they seem to be in competition to find out how quickly they can both run their respective cities into a meat-grinder garbage pile.

While Portland's mayor, Keith Wilson, fiddles while downtown Portland "burns," there's  no half measures with his counterpart in Seattle.

Katie Wilson, who had zero electoral, political or business experience of any kind (think "community organizer") (including continuing to be on an allowance from her parents while living in their basement during her campaign) has taken her own personal wrecking ball to the city of my birth, the city I once loved but would now refuse to even drive through unarmed.

Seattle is among the leaders in every one of the worst categories a city can find itself. Baltimore, for example, perhaps one of the worst cities on the North American continent, now finds itself in competition from the Seattle Shithole which once was, literally, one of the best cities in the United States. 

While many of the fringe-left ilk seem to have a problem with the concept of a nonexistent King, they have and take zero issue with a fringe-left, uncaring, non-responsive moron as a queen.

Most examples are already well-known as Seattle joins New York, LA, and Portland as the worst-ran cities in the industrialized world due to the untethered stupidity and incompetence of their leadership.

A few weeks ago, even KOMO-TV (PLEASE review Eric Johnson of KOMO TV's local politics masterpiece, "Seattle Is Dying", and understand that as bad as THAT portrayal was, it's geometrically worse now under the tender ministrations of Katie the Klueless nimrod.) had enough.

They point out some of the latest fringe-left buffoonery of Katie Klueless; a mayor so inept, so politically castrated by her Marxist dogma that she makes Karen Bass, among the prototypes of political stupidity, communism (What other mayor in this country has undergone terrorist training in a communist country?) ineptitude and idiocy look like a modern day de Tocqueville in comparison.

You'd think those of the militant communist ilk would eagerly confront the media and anyone else questioning their policies and speeches to strengthen their message.

NOT our resident communist coward.

When confronted/asked about her successful efforts to turn Seattle in to the national laughing stock, her worker bees cut off access on the spot if the organs of the media do not stay on whatever subject they've programmed that fringe-left automaton to have at least some knowledge of responding to.

That level of cowardice and stall control by her "yes" people is admirable, in a way. but it does nothing to explain anything while simultaneously putting her playground antics on display. In many respects, it's like watching a Joe Biden replay.

KOMO News clobbering Katie Coward

The fringe-left nutjobs who despise this country to the nth degree, are wildly supporting incompetent morons around the country who mouth their communist and neocommunist ideology. They don't care that the Leninist-style promise made by the jihadi ilk of  Jihadi Zoe Mamdani were lies, for example.

Like all political sheep, actually fulfilling your campaign promises isn't required, since you can, as they almost all do, blame Trump for their own failures. 

And let's face it: "blaming Trump" has become the fringe-left's biggest past time. They see it as their key to avoiding responsibility for their own failures.

Getting back to the "Basement Dweller", when you elect an incompetent junior Stalinist moron as mayor, what can you reasonably expect from a parental-basement-dweller neo communist?

That cretin is in so far over her head, they have to pipe both daylight AND kale to her.

Seattle (where I'm from, BTW.... great place.... to be FROM) you wanted stupid in your mayor... not that the last mayor was all THAT great... and you got it. In spades.

The shithole you've dug for yourselves is now cratering as you find the Emerald City leading in several of the WRONG categories.

Is there ANY problem present when this barista-level cretin took over that isn't worse to MUCH worse since her ascension?

And when a fool surrounds herself with political hacks that know as much about representative governance as my spaniel, outcomes such as these are what SHOULD be expected.

And in that, Wilson has delivered in spades.

Obviously, de Maistre was correct when he indicated, paraphrasing here, "Every city gets the government they deserve."

Proving once again that ACA guru Jonathan Gruber was correct when he referred to the "stupidity of the American voter," proven every waking moment when they elected utterly incompetent, fringe-left delusionists like Mayor Katie B. Wilson

In Flanders Field

In Flanders Fields

  In Flanders fields the poppies blow

    Between the crosses, row on row,

   That mark our place; and in the sky

   The larks, still bravely singing, fly

    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead.

Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

   Loved and were loved, and now we lie

    In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

   The torch; be yours to hold it high.

   If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

    In Flanders fields.

John McCrae, MD.  Lieutenant Colonel of the Canadian Expeditionary Force

Memorial Day thoughts. Try and remember what it's for.

Memorial Day will soon be upon us. I wrote this for my blog initially back in 2018. But it still holds true today. _______________________

(Memorial Day - 2018)

I’ve arrived this day… this Memorial Day… to the stunning beauty… and proof of the stunning sacrifice, to the Gardens of Stone at Willamette National Cemetery, the placards of metal or their headstones attesting to the service of them all.

Flag upon flag… row upon row… the colors… green of the grass… white of the stones… bronze of the placards… red… white… and blue of the thousands upon thousands of small flags that can’t even begin to scratch the surface of repayment for that unpayable debt that we owe so many..

The wind blows, the clouds have moved away. The smells of newly cut grass, the sounds of a fountain… sprinklers share their water needed by the lawns covering those who gave their all.

The sun beats down on the faces of those who come to remember… to grieve… to think back… to recollect.

Children’s adventures, skinned knees… first day in school… that touchdown, that cheer, that first love, that graduation… their wives, their husbands, their children and loved ones of all description think back on what might have been… and could have been had they made it through…

And those lives… oh those many lives… snuffed out far, far too soon… in service of and to their country.

This is not and never will be a Day that should be devoted to store sales. Their blood demands better.

They’re missed, at least by some. I miss them all, but in the sense that each one of us who served and died in defense of this nation did so with an unbearable light of being that terrifies the darkness… the bright, shining essence of the blood shed by the young and the old who answered our Nation’s Call.

The sacrifice cannot be measured. But when I come here, I make the effort to try.

I ponder this as I speak to my brother who joined those here years ago. I look around… sometimes, a tear forms and falls unhindered to the hallowed ground where they rest.

The answers do not come. And again, the only certainly…

Is the deafening silence.

Please... take a moment to about what this Day is about and why we have it.
