✪ THE BIG FRIDAY SOOPER THREAD

THE DEMOCRATS ARE MISERABLE PEOPLE

✪ The Democrats have let their joyless, angry, leftist monster out of the closet, and there’s no sign it wants to go back inside...

jjj

n the months leading up to the 2024 election, Democrats had convinced themselves that they’d settled on the perfect campaign message. Not content with simply slandering their chief political rival as a Hitler-loving Nazi to distract from their disastrous policies, they arbitrarily declared themselves the party of “joy.”

“Forget the bad economy and border invasion, we’re all about the good vibes!” — or so went your typical Kamala Harris campaign appearance.

If it wasn’t obvious already (it should’ve been), it’s clear to any casual observer that tagline was nothing more than a facade.

Since Donald Trump’s return to the White House, Democrats have come down with a strong case of misery. No matter the policy or how much success it might reap for the American people, Democrats have treated nearly every action the president has taken as if it’s a world-ending crisis.

Case in point: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

On Wednesday, Harris’ weird vice presidential pick threw a hissy fit before local media, in which he dramatically bemoaned Trump’s efforts to dismantle the Department of Education and return the issue to the states where it belongs. In his incoherent screed, Walz fearmongered that laying off agency employees would harm children’s learning and produce devastating consequences for America’s educators.

But the Minnesota governor’s tantrum is a microcosm of the blind rage displayed by Democrats since Trump’s comeback:

Earlier this week, a Massachusetts Democrat had a meltdown at a House subcommittee hearing after his Republican colleague correctly referred to Rep. Tim “Sarah” McBride, D-Del. — a trans-identifying man — as “Mr. McBride.” The childish display came a week after another House Democrat got kicked out of Trump’s address to Congress for repeatedly interrupting the president’s speech.

These actions don’t even include those undertaken by the party’s unhinged base, whose behavior has been equally — if not more — despicable.

Within the past few days alone, leftist agitators have been documented occupying Trump Tower in New York City to protest the deportation of a pro-Hamas green card holder and attacking Tesla vehicles and their owners, the latter of which appears to be directed at Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his efforts to identify waste in the Federal Government. They’ve even gone as far as to harass J.D. Vance about the Russia-Ukraine war while the vice president was out on a walk with his three-year-old daughter this past weekend.

Now contrast such unhinged outrage with Trump, who seems to be having the time of his life since returning to the White House.

When he’s not fulfilling the promises he made to the American people, he’s cracking jokes about Rosie O’Donnell or poking fun at Vance’s spunky St. Patty’s Day socks. He’s also delivering uplifting speeches championing American greatness and offering a vision in which the country’s best days are yet to come.

In essence, Trump is generating success and having fun doing it. And unlike his predecessor, he celebrates the uniqueness of the American experiment instead of vilifying it.

The only thing the Democrats’ continued “the sky is falling!” behavior demonstrates is that the party has yet to understand why it lost the 2024 election.

Their addiction to opposing Trump has blinded them to what a “normal” political party is supposed to act like. They’ve become so anti-Trump that they instinctively fight him on virtually every policy issue — regardless of whether his actions produce good outcomes for the American people.

But even if there were signs that Democrats wanted to move back toward “the middle” of American politics and work with Trump, there’s no indication that such a shift is even possible at this point.

Whether through academia or legacy media, the Left has spent decades indoctrinating its base into supporting the extreme policies it currently champions and the general American electorate rejects. To abandon support for allowing trans-identifying men to compete in women’s sports, for example, would be viewed by the party’s core voters as a betrayal — one that could jeopardize Democrats’ political power.

The anti-American bent of the Democrat Party is a problem of their own making. They’ve let the joyless, leftist monster out of the closet, and there’s no sign it wants to go back inside. ✪

SENATE BILL SEEKS TO BAN ALL FEDERAL LABOR UNIONS

⭐️ RailBoss

✪ The bill’s sponsors, Senators Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., argue that these kinds of collective bargaining agreements harm worker efficiency and increase labor costs….

lll

abor unions representing federal workers are facing another challenge to collective bargaining rights — and even their very existence — in a newly introduced Republican bill meant to prevent American taxpayer dollars from subsidizing union costs.

The Federal Workforce Freedom Act would prohibit federal employees from organizing or joining labor unions in order to collectively bargain, as well as forbid federal agencies from participating in collective bargaining negotiations with labor unions representing federal workers.

The bill, introduced Thursday, would also terminate any and all collective bargaining agreements between labor unions and federal agencies “established before, on, or after the date of enactment of this bill.”

The sponsors of the bill, U.S. Senators Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., argue that these kinds of collective bargaining agreements harm worker efficiency, increase labor costs, and charge taxpayers in the bargaining process.

“Public servants are not like private sector employees. They should not be able to collectively bargain for leverage over their employers, because they work for the American people,” Lee said Thursday. “It is time that we required all federal workers to spend their days working for the public instead of union business.”

The bill could positively impact taxpayers in the long run, who bear the administrative costs when the federal government collects union fees from member’s paychecks and then transfers the dues to the organizations.

Additionally, the legislation could help the government save millions of taxpayer dollars annually by no longer having to pay the salaries of federal employees who work as union representatives.

According to a 2020 report from the United States Office of Personnel Management, federal employees spent roughly 2.6 million hours on union activities during work hours during 2019, costing taxpayers an estimated $135 million.

Blackburn said in a statement:

“This legislation would end federal labor unions and immediately terminate their collective bargaining agreements to ensure the federal government is working on behalf of the American people – not labor unions – by increasing the productivity of its workforce.

If passed, the bill would affect 25% of the federal employee workforce who are members of public sector unions, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The same day Blackburn and Lee introduced their bill, a coalition of labor unions filed a lawsuit challenging Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s decision to terminate the DHS’ collective bargaining agreement, impacting thousands of federal transportation workers.

Several federal workers union lawsuits challenging Trump’s mass layoffs are currently working their way through the courts. ✪

IS ACTBLUE A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION?

✪ ActBlue was founded in 2004 as a Democrat Party political action committee (PAC) ostensibly to organize and raise campaign funds from “small donors.” On its website, ActBlue describes itself as “the home for small dollar donors” that “operates as a conduit, which means donations made through ActBlue to a campaign or organization are considered individual donations.” As such they are subject to considerably less legal scrutiny than large dollar donations…

kkk

n 2008, essentially the first presidential election in which ActBlue participated, they raised and spent $54.6 million on behalf of Democrat candidates. In 2012, they increased the amount raised and spent to $151.1 million. In 2016, as the political era of Donald Trump commenced, ActBlue’s fundraising dramatically increased to $653.6 Million. While a massive increase in fundraising, this was somewhat plausible considering the onset of Trump Derangement Syndrome among the Democrats and so-called progressives.

In the 2016 election cycle, the Democrat Party and its affiliates spent $4.6 Billion on the presidential and congressional races. Four years later in the 2020 cycle, they more than doubled the 2016 expenditures by spending $10.8 Billion. In 2016, ActBlue fundraising accounted for 14% of all Democrat spending whereas, in 2020, it accounted for 40%, or nearly all the increase in spending between the two election cycles.

In 2020, the fundraising by ActBlue took a leap from $653.6 Million in 2016 to a staggering $4.32 Billion, a nearly sevenfold increase. That was followed by an equally staggering $2.4 Billion raised in the 2022 mid-term elections. In 2024, ActBlue continued this streak as their fundraising topped $3.8 Billion.

Is it remotely possible that these dramatic increases are solely due to an implausible tsunami of small-dollar donors flooding the ActBlue website, or are there other, potentially criminal explanations?

Recent congressional and private investigations have revealed that this phenomenal rise in fundraising and influence appears to be the result of an organized effort to flout and circumvent fundraising laws in order to launder money for the Democrat Party cabal in their continuing efforts to win elections by criminality, fraud and manipulation.

In a September 2024 letter from the House Oversight Committee to then-Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen requesting documents relating to ActBlue’s activities, Representative James Comer wrote:

“ActBlue had not implemented standard procedures to guard against identity theft and fraud such as requiring Credit Verification Value (CVV) to process online transactions… ActBlue is also being investigated by several states’ officials in relation to contributions allegedly made via the platform fraudulently without the reported contributors’ awareness.”

As David Catron points out at the American Spectator, this practice is known as “smurfing.” It is a direct form of identity theft whereby the names of the donors are repeatedly used without their knowledge to obfuscate and hide large-dollar political donations.

An examination of FEC data by David Catron revealed a single Colorado resident allegedly made 57,138 contributions — one transaction every 1.3 days — totaling $234,441 (or less than $5.00 per individual contribution). A Florida resident purportedly made 52,591 individual contributions totaling $387,720.00. And one California resident supposedly made 52,501 separate contributions — an average of one transaction every 2.5 days — totaling $884,152 (or less than $17.00 per individual contribution). There are thousands of examples with similarly implausible contribution patterns.

Independent journalist James O’Keefe looked into these activities and interviewed a number of people who ActBlue reported as having made high-volume, low-dollar individual contributions. Those he interviewed emphatically denied donating the money in the amounts or frequency as reported by ActBlue.

What, therefore, were the potential sources of the massive inflow of funds into ActBlue that cannot be accounted for by any reasonable measure of small donations and that apparently require an active money-laundering scheme involving identity theft and credit card fraud?

First, there are the potential contributions from prominent domestic left-wing billionaires such as George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Laurene Powell Jobs, et al, that could require the laundering of their contributions. But this is the least likely source of ActBlue funding as many of these domestic billionaires have their own PACS to support Democrat candidates and progressive causes.

A second, and far more plausible source of contributions, are foreign governments and billionaires who cannot legally contribute to political campaigns in the United States. The machinations that have thus far been exposed concerning the inner workings of ActBlue make it the perfect conduit for foreign interference via near-unlimited political contributions. It is supremely naïve to believe that numerous national governments through designated groups or individuals have not taken advantage of ActBlue’s deliberately compromised online verification process and de facto money laundering.

The third source of potential contributions is the American taxpayer. During the five-year period beginning in January of 2020 through the end of December 2024, ActBlue raised an astonishing $10.4 Billion whereas in the previous five years it raised $2.16 Billion. It is not a coincidence that during this same five-year timeframe the federal government spent, using the faux pandemic of COVID-19 as the justification, an equally stunning yearly average increase of 45% or $2.05 Trillion per year more than the 2019 expenditure level.

The budgets of numerous agencies, such as USAID and the EPA as well as departments such as Education and Commerce, which dole out vast numbers of grants and contracts to NGOs, experienced massive increases. For example, the EPA’s budget increased sixfold between 2019 and 2024.

Thanks to the work of Elon Musk and DOGE, the American people now know innumerable grants from virtually all agencies and departments, totaling into the hundreds of billions, were issued without any oversight to thousands of Democrat-affiliated NGOs. The inescapable assumption is that a sizable portion of those funds made their way into the laundromat at ActBlue and eventually into the coffers of the Democrat Party and its candidates.

The exposure of the potential corruption and the inner workings of ActBlue may well be what precipitated the abrupt February departure of seven senior officials, including the associate general counsel — the highest-ranking legal officer at ActBlue — as well as the chief revenue officer. The future of ActBlue is in legal limbo as Republicans in Congress aggressively expand their investigations. The forwarding of criminal referrals to the Justice Department appears to be inevitable.

Never in the 236-year political history of the United States has there been a more expansive, criminal, and blatant scheme to manipulate the electoral process than the actions of ActBlue in league with the Democrat Party. This lawless and corrupt alliance underscores the depravity and anti-Americanism that has become the foundational bedrock of the American Left & much of the current Ruling Class. ✪

JB SHURK: GLOBALIST GAMES – THEY PLAY, WE PAY

⭐️ HelloKitty’sGotAHairTrigger

✪ Canada’s Liberal Party selected central banker Mark Carney to lead the country as prime minister.  He only recently became a politician, but already he’s sitting at the head of the class!  No worries, though.  He has the kind of résumé all globalists in good standing with Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum would envy.  He ran not only the Bank of Canada, but also the Bank of England.  He’s a central banker extraordinaire!  He loves printing funny money and manipulating markets.  Artificially created inflation is his jam, man!

xxx

arney is the most recent iteration of the World Economic Forum’s standard operating procedure for captured governments (and Canada is most definitely WEF-captured): Whenever possible, put bankers in charge of those pesky territorial designations nostalgically known as nation-states. France’s petit fromage, Emmanuel Macron, was a Rothschild & Co. investment banker. Former U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was a Goldman Sachs and hedge fund guy. Don’t be surprised when more transnational bankers seemingly come out of nowhere and immediately dominate the politics of other pseudo-sovereign countries. Investment banking — and more specifically, central banking — is the lifeblood of globalism. Why? Because once a bank is big enough, it gambles with the futures of entire nations (and the millions of individual lives therein) as if they were mere poker chips.

So the globalist cabal claims another section of the world map! Or retains its claim over Canada, I should say. Everyone knows that soy-boy Justin Castreau (he cried during his farewell press conference, for Pete’s sake!) and his former Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland, call Herr Schwab “Daddy.” Germany’s Dr. Evil makes a natural father figure for both Canucks.

Kooky Chrystia is that crazy-eyed woke-tard who promised to use nuclear weapons against the United States if President Trump imposes reciprocal tariffs and turns off the American money spigots that have long subsidized Canada’s socialist system. She is a Canadian Karen not likely to go away. I’m sure Daddy Klaus will give her another chance to scream, “I am womyn, hear me roar!” after central banker Mark Carney completes Canada’s transition to a “green energy”–reliant vassal state of the international money-printing guild. When the draft dodgers, hippies and Chinadians up north have gorged on enough of Carney’s WEF-style globalism for Reichsführer Schwab to deem the peasants sufficiently subjugated, he can install Chrystia as Prime Minister without any resistance. Once in place and empowered to finish off what’s left of Trudeau and Carney’s castrated Canada, she will probably rename her censorship-loving slave state “Not-so-Freeland-ia” in honor of her favorite grandpa’s fascist proclivities.  

No wonder President Trump remains worried about the U.S.-Canada border. King Charles III’s North American refuge has become a hornet’s nest of globalists, communists, and woke Nazis. Perhaps after the southern wall is finished, the builders should hightail it up to the 49th parallel and get busy. Forget the “global warming” malarkey. A WEF-engineered winter is most definitely coming.

Of course, Canada is but one territory being pursued in the globalists’ board game of central bank Risk. The WEF-ers are rolling the dice and capturing lands all over the planet.  

For three years, the United Kingdom, the European Union and America’s very own CIA have all been yelling, “Ukraine!  Ukraine!  Ukraine!” Hoity-toity Davos dandies demand in unison that non-Ukrainians die for the sacred honor of a country known for its vicious gangsters. Given the Western euphoria for the place that spawned the noxious Tweedle-Vindmans, a naïve observer would erroneously assume that Ukraine must be a bastion of civic virtue and human rights — and not a nation that has outlawed opposition parties, free speech, dissent, religious freedom, and democratic elections. How jolting it must be for the uninitiated to discover that Volodymyr Zelensky’s fiefdom is not renowned for its “democratic” norms, but is instead considered one of the most irredeemably corrupt crime dens in all of Europe. If you’ve ever found yourself near any of Europe’s other troubled conflict zones, you know that a reputation for being the continent’s premier destination for depravity is not an easy distinction to claim. Ukraine has had to work hard for its deserved notoriety. 

No matter. Klaus Schwab’s globalists are good at rebranding. When money-printing central bankers fund USAID, and USAID pays Western journalists to run stories about the glorious nobility of Ukraine’s system of government, then the less informed among us eventually start spouting the same thing: Ukraine good. Russia bad. We make nuclear war now?  It’s not our fault that we humans can be programmed so easily. We are biologically wired to trust people in positions of authority.

Here’s the problem: When all the people in positions of authority are either money-printing central bankers or propaganda-spewing espionage chiefs, then the people who die in wars (both soldiers and civilians) do so at the behest of thieves and liars. Families should not sacrifice their children based on the promises of money-launderers and spies. 

For the jet-set crowd of Davos elites, preserving other people’s freedom is of no concern. Creating debt slaves is good for their respective family businesses; liberating serfs so that the riffraff can express their low-class opinions is not. Does anybody believe that the same European countries that regularly censor their own citizens and prevent unapproved political parties from holding power would have any interest in safeguarding the liberties of poor Ukrainaians? European elites (and American warmongers) see Ukrainians as cannon-fodder — which is why they say nothing as Zelensky’s goons abduct men off the street, press-gang them into service, and condemn them to be ripped to shreds.  

War is first and foremost about making money and expanding power. Elites treat it like a “game” because they risk nothing. Regular people pray for it to end because they risk everything.  

If the WEF-ers can’t prolong the War in Ukraine long enough to win back some valuable Black Sea coastline, they’ll just stir up trouble in one of the neighboring nations. Take a look at the board game’s map. Besides Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey, the region includes Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Armenia, and Georgia. That’s strange. Every country either on or near the Black Sea has recently experienced a spate of domestic conflicts, political rebellions, or outright civil wars. In Romania, globalists not only annulled last year’s presidential election when the “wrong” candidate won, but also threw the winning candidate off this year’s ballot to prevent his repeat victory — all in the name of “protecting democracy”!  

Is there something toxic in the rivers draining into the Black Sea? Or could it be that the West’s one-world-government zealots and intelligence agents/saboteurs are desperate to maintain influence over territories that could limit Russia’s strategic control of Black Sea trade routes and close off Russia’s access to the wider Mediterranean Sea?  

Perhaps disassembling Russia into a dozen separate WEF-conducive nations first requires WEF-enthusiasts to isolate Russia from half the world. If they can avoid paying for the mess themselves by tricking the United States into sacrificing Americans in an unnecessary third world war, then all the better. As they like to ask in Klaus Schwab’s neck of the woods, why fight the Russians or the Americans when you can get them to fight each other? Cannon fodder does not discriminate by nationality.

If Western-style “democracy” means that central bankers control domestic policy, stifle dissent, and decide when war is “profitable,” then perhaps citizens should start asking who the hell put them in charge. It certainly wasn’t the people. ✪
