The 'Black Lives Matter' scam

 Washington Examiner:

Has a political activist group ever fallen from grace quicker than the once-beloved Black Lives Matter?

After leading the outrage in 2020 over George Floyd's death and collecting tens of millions of dollars in donations, the group has been repeatedly exposed for using these funds on personal expenses instead of the social justice causes the group claimed they supported. After multiple reports earlier this year of BLM using donations to buy mansions, yet another group leader has been accused of stealing more than $10 million from its charitable contributions.

As the Washington Examiner's Andrew Kerr reported, Black Lives Matter Grassroots, the nonprofit organization representing BLM chapters throughout the nation, accused Shalomyah Bowers, the leader of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, of "siphoning over $10 million to Bowers's consulting firm." A lawsuit filed Thursday in the Los Angeles Superior Court accuses Bowers of treating the BLM Global Network Foundation as a "personal piggy bank." Given the left-wing organization's troubles, it raises the legitimate question: What does BLM really care about: black lives or white money?

I use the phrase "white money" because that is what Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors called it after she was exposed for using millions of dollars in donations. And Cullors was right. It was largely holier-than-thou white people or sanctimonious corporations run by white people who donated. And they did so out of a misguided obligation to stop an alleged injustice that was never occurring in the first place — and has been debunked time and time again.

If this happened on Wall Street, Democrats and other left-wing agitators would be up in arms, whining about capitalism, systemic racism, and white privilege. But because it is BLM, no one has said or done anything. But, in reality, no one should be surprised by this. The actions of BLM's founders are typical of leftist and Marxist regimes and organizations. It's not any new recipe for success; it's been the same formula for decades.

...

What is interesting is that no law enforcement agency is apparently investigating the mishandling of what was supposed to be charitable funds.  Is the Biden DOJ not interested in protecting funds that were supposed to be used for black charities?

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
