Amnesty and the Attack on American Workers

My article from the June 19, 2013 issue of FrontPage Magazine: Amnesty and the Attack on American Workers By Matthew Vadum The “dangerous” immigration bill working its way through the U.S. Senate will devastate America’s labor marketplace and “guarantee” the country will have to grant “another amnesty” in the future, says Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama). “This legislation is not going to work,” Sessions told Breitbart News. He described the measure sponsored by the bipartisan so-called Gang of Eight in the Senate as a “surrender to illegality that will guarantee we’ll be back in this position again.” “We have no indication whatsoever that … Continue reading Amnesty and the Attack on American Workers

Double-Voting for Obama

My piece from the Feb. 13, 2013, issue of FrontPage Magazine: Double-Voting for Obama By Matthew Vadum After publicly boasting that she voted twice for President Obama in November, a left-wing Ohio activist associated with a George Soros-funded group claims she did nothing wrong by double-voting. “There’s absolutely no intent on my part to commit voter fraud,” said Melowese Richardson, a longtime Cincinnati poll worker and Democratic activist whose unlawfully cast ballot canceled out a lawful ballot and thereby deprived another citizen of his or her right to vote. Voter fraud, also known as vote fraud, election fraud, and electoral fraud, refers to the … Continue reading Double-Voting for Obama

Voter Fraud Redefined

Here’s my November 8, 2012 column from American Thinker: Voter Fraud Redefined By Matthew Vadum Voter fraud ain’t what it used to be. Left-wingers have been deliberately dumbing down the definition for years. In all my years as a journalist covering American politics, I have understood that voter fraud, a phrase coined by lawyers, was a blanket term that refers to a host of election-related offenses.  Lawyers frequently make up terms for specialty areas — for example, elder law, environmental law, probate law, and wrongful dismissal law. Voter fraud, also known as vote fraud, election fraud, and electoral fraud, refers to the … Continue reading Voter Fraud Redefined

‘Panicked’ Soros Bankrolls Obama Campaign

My article from the October 1, 2012, issue of Front Page Magazine: ‘Panicked’ Soros Bankrolls Obama Campaign By Matthew Vadum George Soros is airdropping bushels of cash to the Obama campaign because the preeminent funder of the Left is reportedly “panicked” that Mitt Romney could win in November and halt America’s ongoing slide into socialist chaos and civil unrest. Soros’s alarm at the prospect of a Romney victory may also have led him to squelch a report in the Soros-funded Mother Jones magazine that revealed his desperate state of mind. “Is there possibly some panic among the liberal elite that the media … Continue reading ‘Panicked’ Soros Bankrolls Obama Campaign

Occupy at One Year

My article from the September 17, 2012, issue of Front Page Magazine: Occupy at One Year By Matthew Vadum The violent anti-American radicals of Occupy Wall Street plan to celebrate the anniversary of their neo-communist movement today by shutting down the New York Stock Exchange and hitting dozens of corporate targets. The anniversary comes days after an operative for the Anonymous computer hacker group was arrested for allegedly threatening a federal agent. Barrett Brown, a self-described spokesman for Anonymous, which is allied with the Occupy Wall Street movement, boasts that he carried out cyber-attacks against Visa and MasterCard. These Bolshevik … Continue reading Occupy at One Year

Soros Election-Rigging Scheme Collapses

My Front Page Magazine article from July 31, 2012: Soros Election-Rigging Scheme Collapses By Matthew Vadum A George Soros-backed scheme that paved the way for Al Franken’s 2008 theft of a U.S. Senate seat has collapsed months ahead of the critical November elections. Rumors of the death of the Secretary of State Project had been circulating for months. Michael Kieschnick, co-founder of the Secretary of State Project, confirmed that his group has shut down in an interview at the recent “Take Back the American Dream” conference in Washington, D.C. Although the so-called 527 political committee “still exists” on paper, “2010 … Continue reading Soros Election-Rigging Scheme Collapses

George Soros has visited the White House 5 times

Radical philanthropist George Soros has visited the White House on at least five occasions since Barack Obama became president. Perhaps Soros has some influence over Obama administration policy. Soros co-founded the ultra-secretive Democracy Alliance, a billionaires’ club that wants to radically transform America. He has said that European-style socialism “is exactly what we need now” and favors American decline. Soros, a currency manipulator with an insider-trading conviction, praises Red China effusively, saying the totalitarian nation has “a better-functioning government than the United States.” The data appears in the White House’s online visitor access database. It is possible that Soros, the … Continue reading George Soros has visited the White House 5 times

Orrin Hatch weighs in on the Brett Kimberlin menace

Sen.  Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who was once a victim of a vexatious lawsuit filed by convicted terrorist bomber Brett Kimberlin, today weighed in on the ongoing Kimberlin saga. As Kerry Picket of the Washington Times reports,  when he was a prisoner Kimberlin sued Hatch baselessly blaming the senator for his failure at the time to win parole. The suit went down in flames. Hatch’s office issued the following statement: Senator Hatch has had run ins with Brett Kimberlin before and they weren’t pleasant. So it’s certainly no surprise that Mr. Kimberlin has now taken to harassing and targeting conservative bloggers. … Continue reading Orrin Hatch weighs in on the Brett Kimberlin menace

Brett Kimberlin and the Hall of Fame of Leftist Terrorists

Here is my article from today’s Front Page Magazine:  Brett Kimberlin and the Hall of Fame of Leftist Terrorists By Matthew Vadum The Left has a long history of embracing unrepentant, manipulative sociopaths, felons, terrorists, and mass murderers – anything goes, provided that they share the same political ideology.  In fairness, most liberals do not feel affection for the worst of the worst among leftists such as Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Che Guevara, or Peoples Temple founder Jim Jones.  But there are a few domestic radicals who have attained a kind of folk hero status in left-wing circles. … Continue reading Brett Kimberlin and the Hall of Fame of Leftist Terrorists

Here is my oped from the Friday edition of the Washington Times: VADUM: Revving up the race card: Democrats’ backers deploy radical tactics to expand welfare state A George Soros-funded pressure group is behind a new drive to teach Democratic congressmen how to smear their opponents as racist. By Matthew Vadum Last week House Democrats were tutored by the radical, left-wing, racial spoils group known as the Center for Social Inclusion.

Soros-Funded Alinsky Smear Machine Invades Congress

My article from today’s Front Page Magazine: Soros-Funded Alinsky Smear Machine Invades Congress By Matthew Vadum George Soros is behind a newly uncovered effort to teach Democratic congressmen how to smear their opponents as racist. Last week House Democrats invited the radical, left-wing, Soros-financed group called the Center for Social Inclusion “to address the issue of race to defend government programs,” according to documentation reviewed by Joel Gehrke of the Washington Examiner. “The prepared content of a Tuesday presentation to the House Democratic Caucus and staff indicates that Democrats will seek to portray apparently neutral free-market rhetoric as being charged … Continue reading Soros-Funded Alinsky Smear Machine Invades Congress

Soros Opens the Spigot

My article from today’s Front Page Magazine: Soros Opens the Spigot By Matthew Vadum George Soros is once again putting his money where his mouth is. The Left’s favorite Wall Street billionaire and a cohort of his radical confederates are promising to contribute as much as $100 million to help the Democratic Party win this November so it can lay the groundwork for the destruction of what’s left of American civil society. News of the trust fund tidal wave comes after the Soros-funded Democracy Alliance opted to drown Democrats and President Obama’s re-election campaign in an ocean of cash this … Continue reading Soros Opens the Spigot

Soros Election-Rigging Project Dies?

My article from the May 1 edition of the American Spectator: Soros Election-Rigging Project Dies? By Matthew Vadum on 5.1.12 @ 6:08AM Whatever happened to the left-wing Secretary of State Project liberals promised would save our elections from the dirty tricks of those dang lowdown, yellow-bellied, lily-livered Republicans? The evidence now suggests that the election-stealing, George Soros-funded so-called “527” political committee is dead, or perhaps just deeply sedated. This group that section 527 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code allows to accept unlimited financial contributions was created solely to rig elections for Democrats. It accomplishes this by electing permissive liberal … Continue reading Soros Election-Rigging Project Dies?

Romney Heckler a Paid Soros Operative

My article from the May 2 edition of Front Page Magazine: Romney Heckler a Paid Soros Operative By Matthew Vadum A potty-mouthed employee of a George Soros-funded group tried to shut down a Mitt Romney press conference outside a New York City firehouse yesterday. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee appeared alongside former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to respond to a widely publicized taunt hurled at him by the Community Organizer-in-Chief. Without benefit of a time machine, President Obama, whose extended victory dance over killing 9/11 terrorist Osama bin Laden has been receiving saturation media coverage in recent days, preposterously … Continue reading Romney Heckler a Paid Soros Operative

Leftist War Chest on the Verge of Collapse?

My article from the April 3 Front Page Magazine: Leftist War Chest on the Verge of Collapse?  By Matthew Vadum A serious internal schism has developed that threatens to destroy the Democracy Alliance, George Soros’s financial clearinghouse that funds groups and projects aimed at turning America into a European-style socialist state. The preeminent funder of the Left in the United States, Soros favors American decline and has said that European-style socialism “is exactly what we need now.” The radical, anti-American philanthropist praises Red China effusively, saying the totalitarian nation has “a better-functioning government than the United States.” The conflict within Soros’s … Continue reading Leftist War Chest on the Verge of Collapse?

Occupy Wall Street and Soros’ Fingerprints

From yesterday’s Front Page Magazine: Occupy Wall Street and Soros’ Fingerprints By Matthew Vadum The fingerprints of the preeminent funder of the activist Left today, George Soros, are all over the anti-American “Occupy Wall Street” movement. The seventh-wealthiest person in America (net worth: $22 billion), Soros has publicly embraced Occupy Wall Street and financially supports a left-wing group that is funneling money to the movement. As I note in my new book Subversion Inc., this Communist sympathizer co-founded the ultra-secretive Democracy Alliance, a billionaires’ club that wants to radically transform America. He has said that European-style socialism “is exactly what we … Continue reading Occupy Wall Street and Soros’ Fingerprints

George Soros Funds Occupy Wall Street

I have a piece at Human Events Online today titled “George Soros Funds Occupy Wall Street.” Here’s the top of it: Radical anti-American billionaire George Soros is a major backer of a left-wing group that is funneling money to the Occupy Wall Street movement. The nonprofit organization at the receiving end of Soros’ largesse, Alliance for Global Justice, is managing donations benefiting the communists, socialists, anarchists and hippies now occupying Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan.  As of Oct. 19, OWS had taken in a grand total of $435,000 from all sources, including donations made by individuals online and in person, … Continue reading George Soros Funds Occupy Wall Street
