FEC Chairman Accuses DOJ Of Breaking Federal Policies With Letter To Elon Musk

/

Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chairman Sean Cooksey has publicly criticized the Department of Justice (DOJ), alleging that it violated federal policies by targeting Elon Musk’s pro-Trump political action committee (PAC) just weeks before the 2024 presidential election.

Cooksey accused the DOJ of attempting to “intimidate and chill private citizens and organizations from campaigning on behalf of President Trump” and urged DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz to launch an investigation into the matter.

In a letter sent Wednesday to Horowitz and the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility, Cooksey expressed concerns over the DOJ’s actions, specifically a letter the department had issued to Musk’s political committee, America PAC.

The DOJ letter, first reported by The New York Times, warned that a $1 million giveaway Musk’s PAC offered to individuals signing a petition supporting constitutional freedom could potentially violate federal election laws.

Cooksey’s letter to Horowitz marks the FEC’s official response, and he argued that the DOJ’s actions were intended to sway the election outcome by targeting perceived political opponents.

Cooksey called on the DOJ to “hold accountable any individuals responsible for any violations of federal law or department policies.”

The FEC chairman also likened the DOJ’s warning letter to past politically charged actions, comparing it specifically to the Watergate scandal of 1972. “The underlying motivation behind this stunt is obvious,” Cooksey said. “Employees of President Biden’s Department of Justice wanted to stop an independent political committee from campaigning for President Trump in crucial swing states just prior to election day.”

The DOJ’s letter to Musk’s America PAC raised questions about whether the $1 million incentive could be seen as improperly influencing voter actions, despite Musk’s defense that participants were not required to register as Republicans or vote in the November 5 election.

Nevertheless, the DOJ’s letter quickly gained media attention, with some Democratic figures criticizing Musk’s actions as undermining democratic processes.

Cooksey also alleged that the DOJ’s Public Integrity Section had violated the department’s own policies by leaking the letter to The New York Times.

According to Cooksey, this move contravened established DOJ media guidelines, which discourage public disclosures regarding uncharged individuals or prejudicial information in ongoing matters. “Writing such a letter and then leaking it also violates the department’s long-standing policy against the identification of uncharged parties and the disclosure of prejudicial information,” Cooksey stated.

Cooksey’s comments reflect an ongoing tension between Musk and certain political and governmental figures. Musk, a longtime supporter of Democratic candidates, notably endorsed Trump after an assassination attempt on the president-elect in July.

Following the endorsement, Trump named Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to co-lead the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, part of Trump’s incoming administration.

President-elect Trump praised Musk and Ramaswamy, stating, “Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies – Essential to the ‘Save America’ Movement.”

The FEC’s criticism of the DOJ is expected to draw attention to questions about the department’s role in political processes and its handling of election-related activities.

With investigations potentially on the horizon, the episode underscores ongoing scrutiny over governmental transparency and accountability as the Trump administration prepares for its next term.

Far-Left Race Baiting Publication Thinks Trump Is Bringing Slavery Back

Far-Left Race Baiting Publication Thinks Trump Is Bringing Slavery Back

/

You knew it was coming. 

“The Root” is a radical leftist magazine by and for blacks. But it’s not like black magazines from the mainstream, like Jet or Ebony. It’s as woke as woke can get. For the staff of The Root, there is no such thing as a morally honorable white person, and there is no such thing as a white person who is not racist. 

You are already picture the exact kind of ideological drivel they peddle.

Though they would never say it candidly and would scream and protest if someone pushed them on it, the magazine thinks white people are born devils. Call it WDS-”White Derangement Syndrome.” They especially hate competent conservative white women such as former Fox News journalist-turned-podcaster Megyn Kelly: 

“Karen,” when used by radical black activists, means “white woman we don’t like.” Why don’t they like Megyn Kelly? Because Kelly recognizes that nightly MSNBC ranter in chief Joy Reid is a narcissistic, dishonest blowhard who can’t seem to figure out who she is judging by the parade of wigs featured weekly on her show. Just take a look at one of them….

That’s enough. 

So, what’s The Root on about today? The return of slavery under Donald Trump!

Yes. Really.

They write:

“It’s a question Black Americans have been asking for a while, and now that former President Donald Trump has won back the Oval Office, it’s on everyone’s mind: Can slavery make an official comeback?”

Notice carefully: official comeback. This is an actual “dog whistle,” a coded bit of language that signals to radical black readers, “Slavery is still happening in America, we just don’t call it slavery for some reason.”

Here’s more:

“Reflexively, the answer to this seemingly crazy question should be “hell no,” but if you take just five minutes to Google it, you’d be surprised to know we’re not too far from that reality. In 2022, slavery was on the ballot in five states, according to AP News. Talk show host and author Tavis Smiley expressed growing fears of slavery right before the 2016 election. Going back to the 13th Amendment, legal loopholes still allow for slavery today.”

Wow. The Associated Press? It must be true. But is it? When you click on the link, you find out otherwise (emphasis added):

“More than 150 years after slaves were freed in the U.S., voters in five states will soon decide whether to close loopholes that led to the proliferation of a different form of slavery — forced labor by people convicted of certain crimes.”

That’s right. The practice of forcing convicted criminals to do hard labor is now “slavery.” And what’s more, Donald Trump is gonna bring it back. Therefore, Trump is bringing back slavery in the minds of The Root.

I’d say this kind of reasoning is “unbelievable,” but really, is anything unbelievable from the radical identity politics left? 

Let’s see what X/Twitter users had to say on The Root’s thread about the article.

SNL’s Chloe Fineman Says Elon Musk Made Her Cry In Since-Deleted TikTok

/

Saturday Night Live (SNL) star Chloe Fineman slammed Elon Musk in a since-deleted TikTok video, accusing the billionaire businessman of making her cry.

Fineman’s video came amid Musk’s criticism of the show in which he was parodied last week The skit saw Dana Carvey appear as the Tesla owner and supporter of Donald Trump – a clip which prompted Musk to say SNL had been “dying slowly.”

In response to Musk’s backlash, Fineman said she had seen “some news article about Elon Musk being butt hurt about ‘SNL’ and his impression” on the show. Referring to the X owner’s criticism, Fineman added, “I’m like, ‘You’re clearly watching the show. Like, what are you talking about?’”

Musk hosted the show in May 2021, and Fineman accused him of being the “awful” SNL host who made “multiple cast members cry”.

“And I’m like, you know what? I’m gonna come out and say at long last that I’m the cast member that he made cry. And he’s the host that made someone cry. Maybe there’s others,” Fineman continued. “But I’m like, no, if you’re gonna go on your platform and be rude, like, guess what? You made I, Chloe Fineman, burst into tears because I stayed up all night writing the sketch.”

Musk was reportedly unimpressed with Fineman’s sketch at the time, although it would later make it to the airwaves.

Musk has since weighed in to state that he didn’t find any of the sketches he read funny.

Needless to say, her attempts for sympathy were dismissed on social media.

Others said they had little time for Fineman’s complaints.

And Elon didn’t have any to offer her either.

From Star to Scapegoat: Whining Clooney Backs Out of Politics

/

George Clooney, the Oscar-winning actor who once dismissed Donald Trump’s chances at the presidency, now finds himself under fire from his own party’s supporters after Kamala Harris’ disappointing 2024 election defeat, as reported by Daily Fetched.

Clooney’s vocal support for alternatives to President Joe Biden, especially in a critical op-ed published in The New York Times, has stirred up a hornet’s nest among liberals, who are now pointing fingers his way for the recent loss.

At 63, Clooney has been a dedicated advocate for the Democratic Party, contributing both time and money. In fact, he helped raise a staggering $30 million for Biden’s re-election campaign, only to openly question Biden’s viability shortly after.

His call for new Democratic leadership just months before the election is now being widely blamed for sparking doubts within the party. An insider close to Clooney revealed, “George feels that the backlash he is getting for Kamala losing is not at all warranted. He thinks it’s completely unfair to try and make him a scapegoat for her loss.”

Clooney’s recent struggles with the party have left him contemplating a step back from political involvement. According to the same source, he’s feeling “very disheartened,” particularly after investing so heavily in the party’s goals and witnessing the swift backlash after the election.

Speculation around Clooney’s op-ed further heightened when rumors suggested that former President Barack Obama might have ghostwritten or heavily influenced his words.

While Politico noted that Obama didn’t explicitly encourage Clooney to speak out, he reportedly did nothing to stop it, creating an air of suspicion around their partnership. But whether or not Obama was involved, the larger story is clear: Hollywood’s political clout is rapidly fading.

This incident has forced a spotlight on the effectiveness of celebrity endorsements. Even paying high-profile figures like Oprah Winfrey millions to endorse candidates seems increasingly futile when core policy issues—such as gun rights, free speech, and economic concerns—hold much greater sway over voters.

As Clooney prepares to pull back from his once-enthusiastic political role, he faces the reality that Hollywood’s sway over politics may not be as powerful as it once was.

Despite the millions spent and the famous faces brought forward, the loss of Harris in the 2024 race seems to have spotlighted a deeper disconnect between the entertainment industry’s values and the everyday concerns of American voters.

George Soros and Secretary Of State Jocelyn Benson Funded Democrats’ Michigan Supreme Court Victories

/

The Michigan Supreme Court expanded its liberal majority in 2024, with the help of massive cash infusions from billionaires including George Soros, dark money groups, and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.

Dark money groups not required to disclose donors contributed more than $5 million to help elect incumbent Justice Kyra Harris Bolden and law professor Kimberly Ann Thomas to the state’s highest court, an amount that exceeds the total raised by all four candidates for the two seats by more than $1 million, Bridge Michigan reports. The donations included nearly $4.4 million through mid-October from a shady Massachusetts-based nonprofit called The Justice Project Action, the largest donor to Supreme Court candidates this year.

Those donations went to a Justice For All super PAC backing Bolden and Thomas that has spent nearly $10.7 million on Democratic nominees to the high court since 2020. In 2024, $5.25 million out of $7.9 million raised by Justice For All came from dark money groups, which also included the Michigan Civic Action Fund and the Strategic Victory Fund. Other funding included $1 million from former billionaire New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and $560,000 from the George Soros funded super PAC State Victory Action, according to Bridge’s review of campaign finance records through mid-October.

Confirmed: Oprah Winfrey’s Production Company Caught Lying About $1M Payment from Harris Campaign

/

Oprah Winfrey‘s production banner, Harpo Productions, has publicly denied that the Kamala Harris campaign paid the billionaire TV host a $1 Million fee despite records from Federal Election Commission filings showing otherwise.

A Harpo spokesperson told Variety, “The campaign paid for the production costs of ‘Unite for America,’ a live-streaming event that took place September 19 outside Detroit, Michigan.”

“Oprah Winfrey was at no point during the campaign paid a personal fee, nor did she receive a fee from Harpo,” the spokesperson added.

Oprah was also confronted by a reporter about the payments.

“Not true,” Oprah quipped when confronted by the reporter. “I was paid nothing, ever.”

A recent Washington Examiner article, titled “How Kamala Harris plowed through $1 billion,” cited federal findings showing that Harris’s campaign “paid more than $15 million” to companies for expenses related to “event production.”

$1 million from those expenses went to Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions, the outlet reported.

Harpo Productions failed to disclose how much the Harris campaign paid for the production costs related to the a virtual town dubbed “Unite for America” which featured Meryl Streep, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Julia Roberts.

Other celebrity endorsements include:

  • Megan Thee Stallion: Paid $5 Million
  • Beyoncé: Paid $10 million
  • Lizzo: Paid $1 Million

After plowing millions into celebrity endorsements, the Harris campaign was left in $20 million in debt.

Cruise Company Offering TDS Sufferers “4-Year Trip” to Avoid Trump’s Second Term

Cruise Company Offering TDS Sufferers “4-Year Trip” to Avoid Trump’s Second Term

/

Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers are being offered a four-year residential cruise to avoid the next four years under the 47th President.

The Tour La Vie program, offered by Villa Vie Residences, gives rich liberals the chance to visit over 140 countries while avoiding the US so they don’t have to face political reality.

Mikael Petterson, the company’s chief executive officer, said, “We came up with this marketing campaign before we even knew who would win. Regardless of who would have won, you would have half of the population upset.”

“Quite frankly, we don’t have a political view one way or the other. We just wanted to give people who feel threatened to have a way to get out.”

However, escaping Trump doesn’t come cheap.

The Tour La Vie program starts at $40,000 per year, offering four different packages for raging leftists to escape:

  • “Escape from Reality” for a year
  • “Mid-term Selection” for two years
  • “Everywhere but Home” for three years
  • The full experience to “Skip Forward” at four years

The “Skip Forward” option costs $256,000 for single occupancy or $320,000 for two, according to the company’s website.

Meanwhile, the one-year cruise is significantly cheaper, at $80,000 for singles or $50,000 per person for more.

That first package could be the best option when TDS finally realize Donald Trump is fixing America, not destroying it.

The company has already reported a “huge uptick” in ticket inquiries and expects to sell out 

Travelers will still be able to cast their votes while on board for the midterms and presidential election in 2028, with mail sent to the corporate office and then to the ship.

“They didn’t want to talk to one another,” Petterson said.

“They wanted to stay away from one another. At the end of the day everyone there isn’t there to talk politics. They actually have similar lifestyles. There weren’t any sort of issues or anything.”

Petterson said the cruise attracts “distinct groups” from retirees to semi-retired and digital nomads.

“It’s really cool how the community, old and young are coming together,” Petterson said.

“I think the world cruising market is growing and growing and having the ability to completely disconnect from the world and still be connected with our internet and Wi-Fi and invite your friends on board,” Petterson said.

“It really helps your ability to really live this lifestyle and still stay connected with your friends and family.”

A second Trump term with thousands of raging TDS sufferers fleeing the country sounds good to me.

CNN Commentator And Former Donald Trump Staffer Clash Over Immigration Concerns Among Latino Voters

CNN Commentator And Former Donald Trump Staffer Clash Over Immigration Concerns Among Latino Voters

/

Despite an overwhelming wave of support from Latino voters and major concerns over illegal immigration, CNN commentator Maria Cardona insisted they’ll regret their support for President-elect Donald Trump.

The Republican secured major gains across the Latino and Hispanic community, and won a majority of the Hispanic male vote. Former Democrat strongholds such as Miami-Dade voted in favor of Trump, breaking decades of precedent.

Trump’s performance among such a crucial demographic prompted debate between Spanish speakers Cardona and Giancarlo Sopo – Trump’s campaign director for Spanish Language Media in 2020. The latter cited immigration as a key issue for Hispanic voters.

“Immigration was cited as one of the top 5 issues for Hispanics for voting against Kamala Harris. So I think it’s very clear, no matter which polls you look at, favor a very strong border policy because it’s just common sense,” Sopo said. “And we simply cannot have millions of people rolling around this country most of whom have not been vetted, many of them have criminal backgrounds, and I agree most of them just come here because they want to work and they want to have a better life, but we don’t know that because we don’t know who these people are. So, I actually do not anticipate any kind of major backlash to any kind of border enforcement.”

Cardona was less convinced, and insisted the former Trump staff knew “so much better than what [she was] spouting right now.”

“Our community is going to go through pain, our community is going to go through cruelty, that is not what anyone voted for,” the CNN broadcaster retorted. “And in fact, I will tell the American electorate, if the incoming Trump administration goes through this, here’s the people they’re gonna go after. They’re gonna go after your kids’ classmates, they’re gonna go after the delivery guy, they’re gonna go after the guy who take care of your kids, they’re gonna go after the people who work in restaurants, they’re gonna go after the business owners in your community.”

Watch the full exchange:

Many on social media sided with Sopa in response to the clip.

Others were more convinced by Cardona’s response.

Tom Homan Fires Back After “The View” Claims He’ll Deport U.S. Citizens

Tom Homan Fires Back After “The View” Claims He’ll Deport U.S. Citizens

/

Left-wing meltdown program “The View” was predictably terrified by Donald Trump’s appointment of Tom Homan as the new border czar.

The daily ABC show has struggled to cope since Trump was elected last Tuesday, and his appointment of Homan to protect the nation’s borders went down like a lead balloon with the leftist hosts.

Ana Navarro took particular offence to a clip where Homan said families “can be deported together” when he was asked about illegal alien families being “separated.” She hysterically interpreted this to mean that U.S Citizens would be deported, despite Homan making no reference to such a policy – and the fact that deporting U.S. citizens is illegal.

“What he is saying is, if the parent is undocumented and they have U.S. Citizen children or U.S. Citizen spouses, and you don’t want to separate them, then let’s deport the U.S. Citizens,” Navarro said.

It’s needless to say that Homan was quick to respond when questioned about the comments later that day on Fox News.

“No, exactly not,” Homan laughed when asked on whether he planned to deport American citizens. “Look, ‘The View’ is like an island of misfit toys. They don’t know what the Hell they’re talking about.”

“President Trump has made it clear we will prioritize public safety threats and national security threats first,” Homan continued. “If you’re in the country illegally, you shouldn’t feel comfortable, absolutely not. I won’t feel comfortable if I’m in the country illegally. If I’m in some other country illegally, I’m not going to be comfortable.”

Many on social media agreed with the new border czar’s response.

There was also significant criticism of The View.

Report: Fauci’s Golden Years Financed By Million In Taxpayer-Funded Security

Report: Fauci’s Golden Years Financed By $15 Million In Taxpayer-Funded Security

/

Newly obtained documents show that Dr. Anthony Fauci received $15 million in taxpayer-funded security after his retirement, according to a report by independent journalist Jordan Schachtel and Open The Books.

The arrangement, detailed in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), provided security for Fauci from January 4, 2023, to September 20, 2024.

The protection included a security detail and chauffeur.

The U.S. Marshals Service, which operates under the Department of Justice, confirmed to the Daily Caller that they provided protective services to Fauci from January 2023 to August 2024, one month less than indicated by Schachtel’s report.

The $15 million security arrangement did not include the costs of Fauci’s previous protection, which began in April 2020 and continued through December 2022.

According to the MOU, the $15 million covered transportation, law enforcement equipment, and the salaries and benefits of Fauci’s security team. The agreement also included the option to renew or extend the contract in the future if deemed necessary.

The report highlights the unique nature of this extended security arrangement, noting that it could not find other examples of a former federal employee receiving protection at this level.

Fauci, who served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) until his retirement in December 2022, was among the highest-paid federal employees, with a salary surpassing that of then-President Donald Trump in 2019.

The allocation of taxpayer funds for post-retirement protection has drawn comparisons to similar arrangements for former public officials.

Former presidents receive Secret Service protection for life, per federal law, and some high-level officials have also received extended security due to potential threats.

For example, two former national security advisers in the Trump administration were provided with taxpayer-funded security after leaving office due to threats from Iran, at a cost exceeding $12 million, according to a 60 Minutes report from CBS News.

Separately, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who suspended his campaign, reportedly lost his Secret Service detail.

The Daily Caller News Foundation confirmed that Kennedy was initially denied Secret Service protection multiple times and only received protection after an attempted assassination of President-elect Trump in July.

The report on Fauci’s security funding has reignited scrutiny of his time as head of NIAID.

Fauci’s agency previously faced criticism after the White Coat Waste Project revealed that it funded controversial animal testing, including experiments on beagles.

The Daily Caller reported in August that the Biden administration was aware of NIAID’s alleged attempts to cover up these experiments.

This latest revelation about Fauci’s security funding adds to the growing discourse on how taxpayer dollars are allocated for security measures post-retirement, particularly for high-profile figures in government service.

The full extent of Fauci’s security costs and whether the protection could be extended in the future remains to be clarified.
