Biden’s Communist Running Mate Contender Karen Bass’s Campaign Gave Nearly $100K to Nonprofit She Co-Founded Which Paid Her $70K+ for ‘Consulting’

Rep. Karen Bass ( D-CA ) nearly doubled her income in 2010 from consulting fees she received from a nonprofit she co-founded , and Bass ’ s re-election campaign donated nearly $ 100,000 to that nonprofit between 2008 and 2011 , the Los Angeles Times reports .
Bass , a vice presidential contender on Democratic presumptive nominee Joe Biden ’ s VP shortlist , co-founded a South Los Angeles-based nonprofit called the Community Coalition in 1990 .

A Los Angeles Times review of Bass ’ s financial disclosures found that her State Assembly campaign committees paid the Community Coalition nearly $ 100,000 between 2008 and 2011 .

Her community organizing with the Coalition laid the groundwork for her successful run for the California State Assembly in 2004, where she would eventually rise to the position of Speaker in 2008.
A Los Angeles Times review of Bass’s financial disclosures found that her State Assembly campaign committees paid the Community Coalition nearly $100,000 between 2008 and 2011. And in 2010, the Community Coalition paid Bass a total of $70,500 in consulting fees, an amount that nearly doubled her State Assembly salary that year.
Financial disclosures show that Bass’s campaign made two major donations to the nonprofit organization that she co-founded.
The first was for $47,000 given between late 2008 (the year Bass became Speaker of the California Assembly) and 2009.
The second donation was for $50,000 in late 2011 when Bass was closing out her Assembly campaign chest after she got elected to Congress.
Bass acknowledged to the Times that her fundraising ability flourished in 2008 after she became Speaker of the Assembly – which coincided with her campaign’s first major donation to the Community Coalition:
Bass said her donations grew considerably after she became speaker, a position that enabled her to raise more money. After she was elected to Congress, she wanted to give away what was left in her Assembly campaign accounts, she said.
However, the picture becomes a bit more complicated when one factors in the money the nonprofit paid Bass as a “consultant.”
“In 2010, the Community Coalition paid her $70,500 in consulting fees directly and through one of its contractors, according to interviews and public records,” the Times reports.
The $70,500 breaks down into two separate payments from 2010, according to the Times:
The Community Coalition directly paid Bass $26,500 to help it do research and appear in a short video to mark its 20th anniversary. Bass collected an additional $44,000 through a Community Coalition contract with Jemmott Rollins Group, a nonprofit consulting firm, to help devise fundraising strategies for community groups devastated by the Great Recession, according to a House filing and to Frances Jemmott, chief executive of Jemmott Rollins.
These consulting fees nearly doubled Bass’s reported salary in 2010 and are the only consulting income she received between 2003 and 2018 (a period which spans her political career), the Times reports:
Other than the $70,500, Bass reported no consulting income between 2003 and 2018, according to financial disclosure forms. Those payments nearly doubled her reported $94,000 salary in 2010 as a member of the Assembly. The year before, she was paid $139,000 as speaker, a position she gave up in early 2010 as she was facing term limits on her Assembly seat and preparing to run for Congress.
Bass claims that her campaign’s donations to the nonprofit she co-founded were unrelated to the consulting income the nonprofit paid her. She says the money the Community Coalition paid her came from outside grants it received from foundations like the California Endowment.
“I had no reason in the world to give them a contribution and ask for it back,” Bass told the Times.
Still, the arrangement “creates the appearance of a conflict of interest,” according to Kirk O. Hanson, senior fellow at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University.
“It’s not a good idea to receive substantial income from organizations that are supported by contributions from your campaign fund,” Hanson told the Times. “It creates an appearance of a conflict of interest, that you have converted campaign funds into personal income.”
These latest revelations add to other concerns about Bass brought to light by the increased scrutiny of the VP vetting process.
She has come under criticism for her decades-long association with communists, her membership in a communist front group run by Cuba’s communist regime, her praise of Fidel Castro, and her public praise for her communist mentor and communist influencers.
Biden is expected to announce his vice presidential pick next week.

Curiously, Long is still at large. Authorities are alleging that he fled Washington state the day after the shooting, when he was identified as the shooter of Anderson by “high-quality” surveillance camera footage.
Footage is purported to reveal Long approaching Anderson with a handgun near an occupied former precinct of the Seattle police. Anderson tries to leave the scene after being confronted by the armed suspect, only for Long to follow him with a mob of militants who had styled themselves as the “security” for the anarchist commune.
The two men, who supposedly had a history of feuding, got into a fistfight. At some point in the confrontation, Long drew his weapon and shot at Anderson at four times. The teenager was later found dead at the scene. Police, who had retreated from the area of CHAZ, were late reaching the scene from territorial Seattle, losing precious minutes that could’ve potentially allowed first responders to save the life of Anderson.
Authorities are still seeking to apprehend Long, whose whereabouts remain unknown.
There were a total of four shootings- all committed by so-called CHAZ security- in the anarchist commune during its approximate month of existence.

thelibertydaily--2020-08-07--Staffers Sue Democrat Billionaire Tom Steyer for Violating Their Labor Rights

Former staffers of Tom Steyer 's failed presidential campaign filed a lawsuit accusing the Democratic billionaire of violating their labor rights , state filings show .
During his career as a Democratic megadonor , Steyer empowered PAGA through his close ties to top unions and California Democrats .
Steyer co-chairs Democratic governor Gavin Newsom 's economic recovery commission .
Newsom 's administration has repeatedly defended PAGA in court following challenges to its constitutionality .
PAGA has also been buoyed by the support of labor unions in California .
In 2016 , the billionaire joined a bevy of unions , including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , County and Municipal Employees ; American Federation of Teachers ; and National Education Association to form a liberal super PAC that spent tens of millions of dollars to elect Democrats .
Labor watchdogs said that the lawsuit should remind Steyer about a reality that California small business owners deal with every day .
`` Here 's somebody that the governor appointed to get the economy rolling again , and he 's violating state labor laws with his own presidential campaign , '' California Business and Industrial Alliance founder Tom Manzo told the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Newsom have a tendency to side with labor unions and back whatever they 're doing .
Those groups often call employers who do things wrong ‘ wage thieves . '
Well who 's the wage thief now ? ''
Steyer , who did not respond to a request for comment , has previously faced allegations of poor workplace conditions at his flagship environmental advocacy nonprofit .
According to the now-defunct liberal site Splinter News , NextGen America field organizers often worked more than 80 hours a week with little to no time off @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had senior staff quit several times.… Our Reno team , I think it was two times the entire office quit and had to be rehired , '' one NextGen staffer said .
Steyer has remained politically active through NextGen since his failed presidential campaign .
The group has spent more than $ 5.5 million dollars backing Democrats in the 2020 cycle .
Attorneys representing Kern and Sweeney did not respond to a request for comment at the time of posting .
Steyer is not the only billionaire Democratic presidential candidate facing legal reprisal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also filed suit against former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg for reneging on his promise to pay staffers through November despite his brief bid for the Democratic nomination .

Former staffers of Tom Steyer's failed presidential campaign filed a lawsuit accusing the Democratic billionaire of violating their labor rights, state filings show.
The July 27 lawsuit from field organizers Alexa Kern and Mary Sweeney was filed under the state's Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), a 2004 law that permits employees to sue their employer on the state's behalf for wage and labor infractions. While its details remain unknown, 89 percent of PAGA claims allege wage violations such as "failure to pay for all hours worked," according to a February report issued by state advocacy groups.
During his career as a Democratic megadonor, Steyer empowered PAGA through his close ties to top unions and California Democrats.
Steyer co-chairs Democratic governor Gavin Newsom's economic recovery commission. Newsom's administration has repeatedly defended PAGA in court following challenges to its constitutionality. PAGA has also been buoyed by the support of labor unions in California. In 2016, the billionaire joined a bevy of unions, including the AFL-CIO; American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees; American Federation of Teachers; and National Education Association to form a liberal super PAC that spent tens of millions of dollars to elect Democrats. Labor watchdogs said that the lawsuit should remind Steyer about a reality that California small business owners deal with every day.
"Here's somebody that the governor appointed to get the economy rolling again, and he's violating state labor laws with his own presidential campaign," California Business and Industrial Alliance founder Tom Manzo told the Washington Free Beacon. "Steyer and Newsom have a tendency to side with labor unions and back whatever they're doing. Those groups often call employers who do things wrong 'wage thieves.' Well who's the wage thief now?"

thelibertydaily--2020-08-07--George Floyd Bodycam Leak Highlights Press Collusion With Government

It ’ s not just “ self-censorship ” and it ’ s no conspiracy theory .
The politicized U.S. news media is working hand-in-glove with the permanent bureaucracy in the Department of Justice .
As the last wisps of smoke still curl up from the ashes of the widespread destruction left behind by the “ mostly peaceful ” social justice warriors who burned , smashed , and looted in the name of promoting tolerance and harmony , new details emerge regarding the catalytic death of George Floyd .
It now turns out that the authorities in Minnesota have been holding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to Floyd ’ s death , which appear to corroborate the hypothesis that Floyd may have died of a drug overdose , not police brutality .
The British Daily Mail on Monday scooped American news media with the leaked police body cam footage .
To be clear , the footage does not exonerate the police officers although it provides considerable context not previously available .
Floyd refused several police orders including not making his hands visible during the initial traffic stop to resisting entering a patrol car .
In the video , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infamous knee-on-the-neck pose .
His shortness of breath may have been a symptom of an advancing drug overdose that ultimately may have contributed to his death .
The autopsy indicated a quantity of 11 ng/mL of fentanyl in Floyd ’ s blood .
One study of 143 postmortem analyses of fentanyl overdoses found a median level of 9.8ng/mL in the blood of people believed to have died from overdosing on the drug .
Setting that aside , the way in which the new information came to light is further indication that American news @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and report facts .
Why would a whistleblower need to find a foreign news outlet to publicize the highly newsworthy videos of the minutes before Floyd ’ s death ?
The answer , of course , is that American news media work together to advance a shared political agenda .
This isn ’ t a conspiracy theory .
This is a project the New York Times wrote openly about in 2017 .
In the view of the writers and editors , history calls upon the American news media to oppose this president .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ into a fragile agreement not to publish the infamous Steele dossier .
Buzzfeed broke the agreement which ended the anti-Trump whisper campaign as the Steele fairytale could be subjected to the disinfecting sunlight of public scrutiny .
In the aftermath , CNN criticized Buzzfeed for not sticking with the program .

As the last wisps of smoke still curl up from the ashes of the widespread destruction left behind by the “mostly peaceful” social justice warriors who burned, smashed, and looted in the name of promoting tolerance and harmony, new details emerge regarding the catalytic death of George Floyd. It now turns out that the authorities in Minnesota have been holding back bodycam footage of the minutes leading up to Floyd’s death, which appear to corroborate the hypothesis that Floyd may have died of a drug overdose, not police brutality.
The British Daily Mail on Monday scooped American news media with the leaked police body cam footage. To be clear, the footage does not exonerate the police officers although it provides considerable context not previously available. Floyd refused several police orders including not making his hands visible during the initial traffic stop to resisting entering a patrol car.
In the video, Floyd complains about difficulty breathing before the infamous knee-on-the-neck pose. His shortness of breath may have been a symptom of an advancing drug overdose that ultimately may have contributed to his death. The autopsy indicated a quantity of 11 ng/mL of fentanyl in Floyd’s blood. One study of 143 postmortem analyses of fentanyl overdoses found a median level of 9.8ng/mL in the blood of people believed to have died from overdosing on the drug.
Setting that aside, the way in which the new information came to light is further indication that American news media cannot be trusted to cover and report facts. Why would a whistleblower need to find a foreign news outlet to publicize the highly newsworthy videos of the minutes before Floyd’s death?
The answer, of course, is that American news media work together to advance a shared political agenda. This isn’t a conspiracy theory. This is a project the New York Times wrote openly about in 2017. In the view of the writers and editors, history calls upon the American news media to oppose this president.
In early 2017, the media entered into a fragile agreement not to publish the infamous Steele dossier. Buzzfeed broke the agreement which ended the anti-Trump whisper campaign as the Steele fairytale could be subjected to the disinfecting sunlight of public scrutiny.
In the aftermath, CNN criticized Buzzfeed for not sticking with the program. Buzzfeed pushed back on the criticism, stating the publication was “not going to participate in an attempt to divide the media against each other.” The New York Times wrote an editorial complaining that the disunity of the press created an opening for the president, “And so, Mr. Trump won again, by succeeding in doing just that. It was all part of a show in which he used news organizations as props in their own lampooning while he played them off each other with labels of good and bad and selectively answered their policy questions. A united front would have given the reporters stronger footing.”
And since then, readers outside of the mainstream media have noticed a palpable “united front” within the media. Glenn Greenwald, co-founder of the The Intercept, tweeted this montage of supposedly independent news agencies using the same phrases like, “bombshell,” “tipping point,” “the walls closing in,” and “beginning of the end.” Tucker Carlson and Rush Limbaugh routinely compile such videos to mock the journalistic “united front” against President Trump.
But their unity is evident not only in the get-Trump effort. Plenty of other evidence exists.
In November 2019, ABC and CBS worked together to hunt down a reporter suspected of exposing media suppression of the Jeffrey Epstein story. And one should not overlook the fact that the entire theory of “Russian interference” in the 2016 election involved hacked and leaked emails containing embarrassing revelations that the media had coordinated with the Clinton campaign.
More alarming is the fact that the Department of Justice has joined in an effort to suppress foreign sources of information that might contradict the media narrative.
As I’ve written elsewhere, the now-abandoned prosecution of the Russian social media case was just an effort to block foreign news and opinion from reaching American voters. The Russians, the government warned, were introducing “divisive” political speech into the public discourse. “The case against Concord,” I noted at the time, “rests on the idea that if a foreigner publishes ‘divisive’ political speech critical of an American presidential candidate (but only if it’s not Trump), that person must first seek permission from the [Justice Department] and the [Federal Elections Commission], disclose his true identity, and reveal his source of funding.”
Thus, under the Justice Department’s theory of prosecution in the Concord case, it may now bring a criminal case against the Daily Mail for undermining American media unity by introducing “divisive” information to Americans. Indeed, authorities in Minnesota have already launched an investigation to find and punish the leaker.
This “united front” project so successfully orchestrated by American media has dire implications for our freedom. Beyond the obvious editorial bias that infects virtually all of journalism, the industry has suppressed the competitive impulse of reporters to scoop each other when the otherwise newsworthy story might harm the political objectives of the colluding outlets.
This should be seen for what it is: a conspiracy to restrain trade within the news industry. It’s anti-competitive, anti-democratic, and dangerous to our republic.
If the Department of Justice were not itself colluding to maintain the “united front” of the press, we would expect an antitrust investigation to be opened. Until that stops, Americans suffer with a politicized and united media that the Chinese Communist Party can only envy.

President Donald Trump on Thursday issued executive orders to ban transactions with popular video sharing app TikTok and social media app WeChat in 45 days .
The executive orders also ban transactions with the two social media applications ’ parent companies , Chinese-owned ByteDance and Tencent Holdings .
The executive order for TikTok said that “ any transaction by any person , or with respect to any property , subject to the jurisdiction of the United States ” would be prohibited “ with ByteDance Ltd. ( a.k.a .

Both executive orders said that the United States “ must take aggressive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and WeChat to protect U.S. national security .
Both orders also noted that the applications automatically capture “ vast swaths of information from its users , ” amounting to actions that threaten “ to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans ’ personal and proprietary information.

President Donald Trump on Thursday issued executive orders to ban transactions with popular video sharing app TikTok and social media app WeChat in 45 days. The executive orders also ban transactions with the two social media applications’ parent companies, Chinese-owned ByteDance and Tencent Holdings.
The executive order for TikTok said that “any transaction by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” would be prohibited “with ByteDance Ltd. (a.k.a. Zìjié Tiàodòng), Beijing, China, or its subsidiaries,” in 45 days after the order, which is after Sept. 20.
The executive order for WeChat said that “any transaction that is related to WeChat by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” would be prohibited with its parent company “Tencent Holdings Ltd. (a.k.a. Téngxùn Kònggu Youxiàn Gōngsī), Shenzhen, China, or any subsidiary of that entity,” in 45 days after the order.
Both executive orders said that the United States “must take aggressive action against” the owners of TikTok and WeChat to protect U.S. national security. Both orders also noted that the applications automatically capture “vast swaths of information from its users,” amounting to actions that threaten “to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans’ personal and proprietary information.”
Such information captured from users include Internet and other network activity information, such as location data and browsing and search histories, the executive order for TikTok stated. The data collection potentially allows China to “track the locations of Federal employees and contractors, build dossiers of personal information for blackmail, and conduct corporate espionage,” according to the order.
A researcher in March 2019 had found a Chinese database that contained “billions of WeChat messages sent from users in not only China but also the United States, Taiwan, South Korea, and Australia,” Trump’s executive order for WeChat noted.
The president also noted in both executive orders that the applications reportedly censor content that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) deems politically sensitive. Furthermore, the applications may “be used for disinformation campaigns that benefit the Chinese Communist Party.” TikTok, for example, had reportedly censored content about protests in Hong Kong and China’s treatment of Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities, and TikTok videos had “spread debunked conspiracy theories” about the origins of the CCP virus, also known as the novel coronavirus.
The orders come just days after Trump threatened to ban TikTok and said that he would allow Microsoft or another U.S. company to buy TikTok.
“I suggested that he could go ahead … I set a date of around Sept. 15, at which point it’s going to be out of business in the United States,” he said on Aug. 3. “But if somebody—whether it’s Microsoft or somebody else—buys it, that’ll be interesting.”
The orders also come after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the administration’s expansion of its “Clean Network” initiative “to secure Americans’ most sensitive information from the CCP’s surveillance state,” and called on American tech companies to remove “untrusted” Chinese apps from their stores.
Both WeChat and TikTok made the list of 59 mostly-Chinese applications that India had banned in late June because the apps “threaten the sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order.”
ByteDance and Tencent did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Appearing on a recent episode of theprogram "Bill Hemmer Reports," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told viewers that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) knew about person-to-person transmission of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) long before it told the rest of the world about it.
Further, the CCP conspired with the World Health Organization (WHO), or rather "was co-opted" to quote Pompeo, into likewise hiding this knowledge for the purpose of fulfilling the goals and agenda of communist China with its global plandemic.
"[I]t is the case that the Chinese Communist Party was aware of human-to-human transmission before they shared this with the world," Pompeo is quoted as saying.
"And that the World Health Organization itself was co-opted into the same effort to deny the world the knowledge it needed to respond to this threat, to this threat from the virus that emanated from Wuhan, China."
In accordance with his earlier promise to hold the CCP accountable for its crimes against humanity, Pompeo reiterated that the Trump administration is currently taking steps to hold the communist Chinese regime responsible for assaulting the rest of the world with a biological weapon.
Part of this involves restructuring America's economic and territorial relationships with China, which for the past 40 years has been allowed to sway in China's favor under every previous administration, both Democrat and Republican.
In other words, China's bad behavior has been overlooked or ignored entirely, allowing the communist country to repeatedly take advantage of the United States and other nations for political, financial and territorial gain.
Had previous administrations done something earlier, "they could have prevented so much of this tragedy," Pompeo says. The good news is that now there is a unified response among many nations to hold the Chinese government accountable for unleashing the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) upon the world.
Pompeo says "no more" looking away from China's crimes against humanity
During his most recent rant against the CCP, Pompeo specifically called out Hong Kong-based virologist Dr. Yan Li-Meng, who recently fled to the U.S. Yan reportedly knew that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) could transfer between humans well before the rest of the world did, but chose to keep this information private at the behest of Beijing.
"I can see nations who are doing business in China who are rethinking about how to do that," Pompeo further stated.
"If you are buying products that are a result of the slave labor that's happening in the western part of China; if you're a country that's bent the knee to China because they tried to come fish in your waters that are rightly yours ... I can see nations all around the world that are reasserting their claims, their sovereignty."
Pompeo added that China is going to "pay a price" for its crimes against humanity, adding that President Trump is fully motivated to take whatever action is necessary to remedy this scourge upon the world.
Already, both Japan and Australia have indicated their support for a U.S. plan to reject most of Beijing's territorial claims in the South China Sea. There are also changes being made all across Asia that defy the CCP in accordance with Pompeo's statements.
"Countries, not only in Southeast Asia, but in Asia more broadly ... have come to understand the threat that the Chinese Communist Party presents," Pompeo noted.
"For democracies and freedom-loving people around the world, it is an imperative that we push back against the challenge that the Chinese Communist Party presents to us all," he concluded, adding that the age of looking the other way in response to China's crimes and abuses is "no more."

Brennan has agreed to be interviewed, and the details are being worked out, the person said. Attorney General William Barr told Congress last month that he would not wait until after the election to present Durham’s findings if they are finalized.

Husband of Nasty Democrat Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell Who Accused AG Barr of Murder, Was Paid $700,000 by Ukranian Oligarch

Of course nearly everything the Democrats do is corrupt , so it comes as no surprise that the husband of one of the loudest and most disgusting House members , Debbie Mucarsel-Powell , was paid over $ 700,000 by a Ukrainian Oligarch .
This same oligarch is at the center of the FBI ’ s raids yesterday in Cleveland and Miami .
One of the nastiest House Representatives in last week ’ s disgusting lambasting of Attorney General Bill Barr was Florida ’ s Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell .
This representative basically accused President Trump and AG Barr of murder .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ at Ohio Speech : `` I Have a Lot of Enemies ...
This May Be the Last Time You 'll See Me for a While '' Ms. Mucarsel-Powell talked over the AG and never allowed him time to respond to any of her questions or slanderous claims that she made .
She basically copied what the other Democrats on the committee did as well .
The Democrats are angry that Barr has a criminal investigation in place , led by US Attorney John Durham , related to the actions surrounding the fraudulent Russia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his gangs in his Justice and Intel communities .
These same gangs then attempted to remove President Trump from office , knowing that their entire case was a fraud .
There may be a reason the mean-spirited , obnoxious , and disrespectful Rep. Mucarsel-Powell labeled President Trump and AG Barr as “ murderers ” .
The Ecuadorian-born Florida Congresswoman wanted to know if AG Barr was going to release the results of John Durham ’ s investigation .
This may be because Ms. Mucarsel-Powell is right in the middle of the investigation .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ s husband has connections with a Russian oligarch .
In December the Federalist reported : Robert Powell , the husband of Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell , D-Fla. , reportedly took $ 700,000 from a Ukrainian oligarch named Igor Kolomoisky .
Mucarsel-Powell sits on the House Judiciary Committee , the committee that drafted two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump for his alleged abuse of power with regards to Ukraine .
In 2018 , the Daily Beast reported that a number of businesses linked to Kolomoisky hired Powell as an attorney .
One of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 700,000 over two years , according to public records .
The Miami Herald reported Powell was working for companies tied to Kolomoisky for 10 years .
Powell made most of his money in the two years leading up to his wife ’ s election in 2018 .
Kolomoisky has been accused of contract killings and embezzlement in the past .
Yet , in 2018 when Mucarsel-Powell was running for her seat , she did not see her husband ’ s work as relevant to her campaign .
We reported this morning that Cleveland.com @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tuesday seized boxloads of evidence that could determine whether the Ukrainian oligarch , Igor Kolomoisky , laundered millions of dollars through Cleveland real estate .
A long-running investigation into Kolomoisky went public for the first time when agents searched the offices of Optima Management Group in One Cleveland Center at East 9th Street and St. Clair Avenue .
Agents in Miami also searched a business there involving the company .
No wonder Ecuadorian-born Rep. Mucarsel-Powell doesn ’ t like AG Barr .
