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

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

Official Washington’s Crackhead Accounting

(by Matthew Vadum, American Spectator, August 1, 2011) As I write this it is difficult to hear myself think over the sound of congressional Republicans high-fiving each other over the debt ceiling deal. There is no evidence that this bizarre deal of questionable constitutionality (e.g. the “Super Congress”) will actually lead to any real cuts. Nor is there any evidence that it will prevent the U.S. government from losing its long held triple-A credit rating. There is a promise of spending cuts, but overall federal spending will continue on its upward trajectory because Official Washington operates in the make-believe world … Continue reading Official Washington’s Crackhead Accounting

Al Sharpton’s group targets its next victims

The pressure group run by racial arsonist, con man, tax cheat, and absconding debtor Al Sharpton is lining up some fresh victims. The Harlem-based National Action Network (NAN), a tax-exempt 501c4 advocacy group, runs a project called the Madison Avenue Initiative. A NAN press release explains its purpose: “Our goal is to create more business alliances between the corporate and government public service sectors and the many viable black and latino-owned agencies and media.  We’re seeing more opportunities for a greater share of the marketing mix,” said Rev. Al Sharpton, founder of the National Action Network. “Another area of concern … Continue reading Al Sharpton’s group targets its next victims

After encouraging child prostitution, now ACORN is suddenly worried about it.

The Black Institute, a new ACORN front group created by ACORN’s final national chief organizer Bertha Lewis, has published a deliciously ironic blog post: An estimated 300,000 new girls enter the commercial sex industry each year. The Department of Justice estimates that the most frequent age of entry into the commercial sex industry in the United States is 12-14 years old. A demographic study of sex trafficking in the United States has never been done, so no exact figures are known, but, according to the FBI, for arrests under the age of 18, Black children make up 55 % of … Continue reading After encouraging child prostitution, now ACORN is suddenly worried about it.

Mississippi NAACP leader sent to prison for 10 counts of voter fraud

The NAACP is trying to outdo ACORN in the realm of voter fraud. While Stephen Colbert was busy mocking Republicans and this writer for daring to think voter fraud is a serious problem, NAACP official Lessadolla Sowers was sitting in jail, sentenced to five years imprisonment for 10 counts of voter fraud. And this wasn’t just voter registration fraud, one of the most common forms of voter fraud. Sowers cast ballots in the names of 10 actual people, four of whom were dead at the time. All is revealed in a just-published article I wrote for The Daily Caller. Of … Continue reading Mississippi NAACP leader sent to prison for 10 counts of voter fraud

ACORN’s Garbage Stunt at Wells Fargo Backfires

Nobody ever said all the criminal street thugs at ACORN were bright. The left-wing astroturfers of ACORN’s new front group in California, Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), were behind a garbage-dumping stunt at a branch of Wells Fargo bank in San Jose, Calif. News reports consistently depict the players as angry homeowners who spontaneously erupted in a spasm of righteous indignation. As if. These “homeowners” were reportedly unhappy about the upkeep at a foreclosed property they thought Wells Fargo was responsible for so they decided to dump uncollected garbage at the bank. The problem is that while Wells … Continue reading ACORN’s Garbage Stunt at Wells Fargo Backfires

Does Obama support SEIU/ACORN-led economic terror campaign against JPMorgan Chase?

Does President Obama approve of the SEIU/ACORN-led economic terrorism campaign that is now directed at JPMorgan Chase? It seems like a reasonable question to ask. SEIU is President Obama’s favorite union and ACORN is his favorite community organizing outfit. The campaign, engineered by SEIU board member Stephen Lerner, is designed, in Lerner’s words, “to disrupt and create uncertainty for capital, for how corporations operate … there are actually extraordinary things that we could do right now that would start to destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement.” According to White House visitor logs, “Stephen … Continue reading Does Obama support SEIU/ACORN-led economic terror campaign against JPMorgan Chase?

Obama officials admit POTUS was lying about default

President Obama has no intention of allowing the U.S. government to default on its financial obligations regardless of whether the government’s borrowing limit is raised, Charlie Gasparino of Fox Business reports. This means that the president has been bargaining in bad faith with congressional leaders by raising the specter of a default, knowing full well he won’t allow it to happen. This is another way of putting it: the president has been lying to the nation. As Gasparino writes While officials from the Obama Administration raised their rhetoric over the weekend about the possibility of a debt default if the … Continue reading Obama officials admit POTUS was lying about default
