Weigel Laughs in the Face of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse

My friend David Weigel over at Slate thinks it’s knee-slappingly hilarious that lawmakers took the time to prohibit federal funding of President Obama’s favorite activist group in the proposed Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act.  He writes in a blog post sarcastically titled “Good News: Stalled FEMA Funding Bill Bans ACORN Funding”: I’ve been poking around today on an emerging issue: What will be cut in order to fund FEMA’s obligations for Hurricane Irene recovery? The search takes me to the text of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, which was narrowly passed by the House but sits stalled in the Senate. … Continue reading Weigel Laughs in the Face of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse

More coverage of Buffy Wicks and “Project Vote”

After I wrote up the story of ACORN-tied dirty trickster Buffy Wicks being put in charge of the Obama 2012 campaign “Project Vote” initiative, two media outlets interviewed me. Here is a link to the WND article and another to the Newsmax article. * * * * * America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the group in court as its lawyer. These radical leftists who use the brutal, in-your-face, pressure tactics of Saul Alinsky want to destroy America as we know it and … Continue reading More coverage of Buffy Wicks and “Project Vote”

Obama Dirty Tricks Operative Buffy Wicks to Run Campaign Unit Named After ACORN’s Voter Fraud Factory

An article of mine from Big Government: Obama Dirty Tricks Operative Buffy Wicks to Run Campaign Unit Named  After ACORN’s Voter Fraud Factory By Matthew Vadum One of the co-conspirators in a White House-approved plot to use federal resources to produce partisan propaganda to advance President Obama’s policy agenda has been chosen to lead an Obama 2012 get-out-the-vote (GOTV) effort. The Obama operative chosen to head the GOTV effort, Buffy Wicks, was deputy director of the White House Office of Public Engagement. In that capacity she participated in a now-infamous 2009 conference call in which Obama officials urged artists to create … Continue reading Obama Dirty Tricks Operative Buffy Wicks to Run Campaign Unit Named After ACORN’s Voter Fraud Factory

Darby Made Them Do It?

A new article of mine from Front Page Magazine: Darby Made Them Do It?  By Matthew Vadum As I write in my new book Subversion Inc., Brandon Darby has been a target ever since it was publicly revealed that he saved the lives of innocent Americans by thwarting the planned fire-bombing of the 2008 Republican Convention by two anarchists. Left-wing activists have harassed Darby in his hometown of Austin, Texas, threatening cafes and other businesses he frequents for committing the sin of serving him. Some activists have issued death threats against him. As David Horowitz, Andrew Breitbart, and Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore … Continue reading Darby Made Them Do It?

ACORN, Eh? Canadian Alinskyites Extort Money Mart, Western Union

(I’ll be on Fox Business channel at 10:00 Eastern tonight discussing this blog post which was originally posted at Big Government.) ACORN wants a cut of the huge international remittance business, valued worldwide at US$444 billion. So the organized crime syndicate is trying to shake down the financial services companies that handle those international money transfers. In Canada, the local arm of ACORN is trying to shake down Money Mart and Western Union. ACORN, which used to employ President Obama, is hitting these two companies because it wants them to pay it protection money. The corporate shakedown is just one … Continue reading ACORN, Eh? Canadian Alinskyites Extort Money Mart, Western Union

Obama’s Backdoor Amnesty

I have an article in Front Page Magazine today about President Obama’s new immigration policy. No matter what he calls it, it is an amnesty. Here is the top of the piece: The Obama administration’s new immigration amnesty is a purely political calculation intended to shore up the president’s sagging support among Latino voters. President Obama has a habit of not enforcing laws he doesn’t like. He doesn’t like the Defense of Marriage Act so he won’t defend it in the court. He doesn’t like energy exploration so he has ignored court order after court order that would allow deep-water … Continue reading Obama’s Backdoor Amnesty

Sentencing ACORN

I had a piece in Front Page Magazine about the sentencing of ACORN. Here’s the top of it: After more than 40 years of waging war against America’s democratic institutions, the lawless ACORN gang has finally been brought to justice. Sort of. ACORN, the organization that brought Americans the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (the “Motor Voter” law), which makes election fraud a breeze, was sentenced for felony voter fraud in Las Vegas last week. The nonprofit group famous for turning graveyards across the nation into Democratic strongholds, had previously pleaded guilty to unlawful compensation for registration of voters, … Continue reading Sentencing ACORN

ACORN Voter Fraud Sentencing: Vadum on Fox Business tonight at about 10:40 Eastern time

I’ll be on “Follow the Money” on Fox Business at around 10:40 p.m. Eastern tonight. We’ll be discussing the sentence the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) received last week in Las Vegas today for its role in a massive voter fraud conspiracy. Judge Donald Mosley said if an individual, as opposed to a corporation, had been before him, he would have handed down a 10-year prison sentence. “And I wouldn’t have thought twice about it,” he said. Mosley criticized ACORN, which used to employ President Obama, for making a “mockery” of America’s electoral process. “This isn’t a … Continue reading ACORN Voter Fraud Sentencing: Vadum on Fox Business tonight at about 10:40 Eastern time

Romney Hecklers in Iowa Part of Radical Street Thug Group

Those obnoxious hecklers who tried to shout down Mitt Romney at the Iowa State Fair last week weren’t just random Iowans trying to participate in the democratic process, as I write at Front Page Magazine. They were members of a Marxist, ACORN-like group called Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (Iowa CCI). Iowa CCI is an affiliate of a street thug outfit called National People’s Action (NPA). NPA may not be corrupt like ACORN but they’re still bad people. NPA is participating in a nationwide economic terrorism campaign with the new ACORN front groups and SEIU aimed at destabilizing the nation’s … Continue reading Romney Hecklers in Iowa Part of Radical Street Thug Group

Voting Early and Often in NC: Four Charged with Crime the Left Says Doesn’t Exist

We keep hearing from the usual suspects on the Left that voter fraud is virtually non-existent, a figment of the collective imagination of eeevil racist vote-suppressing Republicans. And then more evidence of voter fraud keeps surfacing. In Wake County, North Carolina, Shelia Ramona Hodges, Kierra Fontae Leach, Brandon Earl McLean, and Lela Devonetta Murray have been charged with voting twice, a felony. District Attorney Colon Willoughby said he’s not finished yet. “One of the bedrocks of our democracy is that we have fair and open elections, and I think this goes to the fabric of fairness and the public’s perception … Continue reading Voting Early and Often in NC: Four Charged with Crime the Left Says Doesn’t Exist

The Soros Loophole

I have a piece at Front Page Magazine today about ACORN patron George Soros. It’s titled The Soros Loophole. Here’s the top of it: It wasn’t that long ago that currency speculator George Soros was traveling the globe urging a regulatory crackdown on the same financial sector that has allowed him to become a billionaire 14 times over. In late 2008 the preachy political radical who has given more than $8 billion to charities and left-wing causes lectured a congressional committee. “The entire regulatory framework needs to be reconsidered and hedge funds need to be regulated within that framework,” he … Continue reading The Soros Loophole

BREAKING: ‘Banana Republic’ ACORN Hit with Maximum Fine in Voter Fraud Scheme

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) was fined the maximum of $5,000 in Las Vegas today for its role in a massive voter fraud conspiracy. Judge Donald Mosley said if an individual, as opposed to a corporation, had been before him, he would have handed down a 10-year prison sentence. “And I wouldn’t have thought twice about it,” he said, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Mosley criticized ACORN, which used to employ President Obama, for making a “mockery” of America’s electoral process. “This isn’t a banana republic,” he said. In April ACORN pleaded guilty to felony-level … Continue reading BREAKING: ‘Banana Republic’ ACORN Hit with Maximum Fine in Voter Fraud Scheme

Vadum talks Subversion Inc. on Pajamas Media (PJTV)

I’m on today’s installment of PJTV’s “The Bottom Line” with the ever erudite host James Poulos. The segment is called, “Drama Obama: Are Obama’s Red Shirts Savaging American Taxpayers, and Credit Rating?” Watch it here. * * * * * America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012.

You’ve Been Warned, Canada: ACORN’s Campaign Against Money Mart May Lead to Violence and Blackmail

Pressure. Protests. Picketing. This is how it begins. The Canadian branch of the U.S.-based organized crime syndicate ACORN is gearing up to extort Money Mart, a check cashing and payday loan company. In greater Vancouver, British Columbia, ACORN has been leading a shakedown campaign against Money Mart over the supposedly exorbitant fees it charges to transfer money to dangerous, corrupt, politically unstable, kleptocratic Third World hellholes like Somalia and Kenya where people get murdered for a single dollar. It’s standard operating procedure at the radical activist group ACORN whose anti-capitalist ideology is roughly similar to that of Canada’s New Democratic … Continue reading You’ve Been Warned, Canada: ACORN’s Campaign Against Money Mart May Lead to Violence and Blackmail

ACORN to be sentenced for voter fraud Wednesday

After pleading guilty to a species of voter fraud in Las Vegas in April, ACORN will be sentenced Wednesday for its crimes. ACORN was convicted of felony unlawful compensation for registration of voters. With the full knowledge of upper management, ACORN illegally offered cash bonuses to its voter registration canvassers in a scheme called “Blackjack.” Canvassers received extra money if they hit the magic number of 21 registrations in a day. Senior ACORN executives Amy Adele Busefink and Christopher Howell Edwards were also convicted for their roles in the scheme. ACORN cared so little about the conspiracy that its voter … Continue reading ACORN to be sentenced for voter fraud Wednesday

Self-Parody Thy Name is Brad Friedman

Brad Friedman of the Brad Blog is a desperate, energetic man with a lot of time on his hands. The left-wing pseudojournalist hasn’t quite recovered from the bitch-slapping I gave him in June for, among other things, downplaying ACORN’s decades-long history of voter fraud. (He’s also never explained why he’s so close to a convicted domestic terrorist, his business partner the “Speedway Bomber” Brett Kimberlin. That’s his privilege.) Since I’m now Friedman’s designated bogeyman on the right, he just predicted I wouldn’t report on the incident in the Wisconsin recall elections in which Americans for Prosperity reportedly sent out absentee ballot applications to its own members … Continue reading Self-Parody Thy Name is Brad Friedman

Massive voter fraud by ACORN in Colorado

Judicial Watch has uncovered massive voter fraud in Colorado. The Colorado secretary of state’s office apparently bent over backwards to accommodate the unreasonable demands of the vote fraudsters of the criminal group ACORN. Said Judicial Watch in a press release: ACORN and its affiliate, Project Vote, successfully pressured Colorado officials to implement new policies for increasing the registration of public assistance recipients during the 2008 and 2010 election seasons. Following the policy changes, the percentage of invalid voter registration forms from Colorado public assistance agencies was four times the national average. More on this developing story later. * * * … Continue reading Massive voter fraud by ACORN in Colorado

Obama Lied, America’s Credit Rating Died

Another exciting historic first for President Obama! The venerable Standard & Poor’s has officially downgraded the U.S. government’s credit rating from AAA to AA-plus for the first time ever. The effect on worldwide markets will be immediate.  There will be much gnashing of teeth on both the right and the left. Obama and the Democrats and a chorus of economic illiterates promised that the phony spending reductions in the debt ceiling increase deal would preserve the federal government’s creditworthiness. Republicans for the most part fell for Obama’s lies and caved after only a brief period of holding out. The great unraveling, so … Continue reading Obama Lied, America’s Credit Rating Died

Sarah Palin is Right: If Tea Partiers Were Terrorists, Obama Would Pal Around With Them

It is a time-honored radical tactic to accuse your enemies of what you do in order to convert a negative into a positive, as the master of political agitation Saul Alinsky taught. This explains the Left’s newfound interest in the lie that the Tea Party is comprised of “terrorists.” Unless you think petitioning the government for lower spending is somehow akin to flying airplanes into buildings, you’ve got to agree with Sarah Palin, who on this issue is a voice of sanity and common sense. As President Obama and his merry band of Marxists continue driving America off a cliff, … Continue reading Sarah Palin is Right: If Tea Partiers Were Terrorists, Obama Would Pal Around With Them
