dailycaller.com/2019/11/14/rashida-tlaib-ethics-campaign/The Office of Congressional Ethics recommended subpoenaing Rep. Rashida Tlaib and several of her campaign staffers as part of an investigation into whether the Michigan Democrat improperly diverted campaign funds for personal use. All five members of the board of OCE voted to recommend that the House Ethics Committee continue an investigation into Tlaib over $17,500 in payments she received from the campaign after her election win Nov. 6, 2018. House rules allow candidates to receive salaries during their campaigns that are not greater than what they earned in the year before starting their campaign. Candidates are also allowed to receive funds only up until the general election. (RELATED: Rashida Tlaib Leads Crowd In Trump Impeachment Chant) OCE released emails, campaign spreadsheets, and paycheck stubs that show Tlaib was paid after Election Day. Tlaib received $45,500.00 between May 7, 2018, and Dec. 1, 2018. The two potentially problematic payments were made Nov. 16, 2018, for $2,000, and $15,500 on Dec. 1, 2018. Check paid to Rashida Tlaib, from Office of Congressional Ethics report, Nov. 14, 2019 “If Rep. Tlaib converted campaign funds from Rashida Tlaib for Congress to personal use, or if Rep. Tlaib’s campaign committee expended funds that were not attributable to bona fide campaign or political purposes, then Rep. Tlaib may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law,” OCE said. The report stated that Tlaib, campaign treasurer Soh Suzuki, campaign manager Andy Goddeeris and campaign staffer Amanda Kaye refused to provide documents to the committee for the investigation. “Because Rep. Tlaib refused to interview with the OCE, the OCE could not address these potentially problematic payments with her. Likewise, the OCE was unable to address these documents with members of her campaign staff given their refusals to interview with the OCE,” the report stated. Tlaib denied wrongdoing. The progressive Democrat said she “received the minimum salary payments necessary for me to meet my personal financial obligations, while ensuring that the campaign reserved the resources needed to reach voters” in a statement to The Detroit News. OCE released emails showing that Tlaib requested a larger salary from the campaign in order to support her two children. The emails also show that Tlaib and her campaign staff weighed whether she should resume working part-time at her law firm, Sugar Law Firm, or increase her stipend from the campaign. Tlaib told her staff May 7, 2018, that she would need to resume working part-time to make ends meet. Goddeeris, the campaign manager, responded that Tlaib could legally receive $7,900 based on her previous year’s income. “The downside is that in mid-July, it will become public that Rashida has collected X number of dollars from the campaign, and there might be attacks that follow that accuse Rashida of using her campaign funds to enrich herself,” Goddeeris wrote. “With all the financial bullshit the other campaigns are pulling, though, I think you would be pretty insulated from attack,” he also wrote. Tlaib eventually settled on taking $2,000 every two weeks, until the large payment Dec. 1, 2018.

Far-left radical socialist Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez and her white boyfriend, Riley Roberts, instructed viewers on Instagram Live on how to “chip away” at racism as a White person.
Roberts claimed that white people can be racist without actually knowing that they’re racist.
“[White people] don’t want to be racist,” claimed Roberts. “They don’t think that they’re racist, but they also don’t know some of the things that they believe or say are and can be racist.”
It looks like AOC managed to find a boyfriend who is just as dumb as she is.

www.dailywire.com/news/new-details-emerge-in-ilhan-omars-marriage-scandalNew details involving far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) marital scandal emerged on Friday after a British publication reported that Omar is paying her ex-husband to stay quiet about her alleged affair. The Daily Mail reported that Omar’s husband, Ahmed Hirsi, “discovered the truth about her torrid affair with her chief fundraiser [Tim Mynett] when he went to her Washington D.C. apartment last spring and found the lovers lounging around in pajamas.” Multiple sources told The Daily Mail that Hirsi left “angry and humiliated” after learning about the affair. “He suspected she was cheating but she kept telling him he was paranoid,” a source told The Daily Mail. “He told her he wanted to move down to D.C. to be with her but she insisted he should stay in Minneapolis with the children. Eventually he surprised her down there and his worst fears were confirmed.” Sources told The Daily Mail that Omar allegedly agreed to a financial settlement with Hirsi that would pay him tens of thousands of dollars per year, up to $250,000 total, “but only if he did not speak publicly about the marriage breakdown.” The Daily Mail reported that sources in the Somalia community in Omar’s district say that Omar has “embarrassed” them and that they have lost faith in her. The source said that the embarrassment that Omar has caused the Somalia community comes from the alleged affair, her decision to hold an event at a distillery, and her embrace of LGBT rights. “It’s almost as if she is deliberately trying to turn her Somali supporters against her,” a source told The Daily Mail. “She is as a figurehead for us, the most famous Somali in America and she had embarrassed us. She is the face of the Somali community.” Omar has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign donations to Mynett, according to Federal Election Committee (FEC) records. The Washington Free Beacon reported: Omar’s new committee filings submitted Friday morning show that between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 2019, her committee made $215,000 in additional payments to the E Street Group, a firm run by political consultant Tim Mynett, Omar’s alleged boyfriend. The payments were reported as going toward consulting, direct mail, research services, travel expenses, advertisements, and graphic design. … The committee reported hauling in $403,000 in individual contributions while disbursing $404,000 over the last three months of 2019. The $215,000 paid to Mynett’s group for its services accounts for 53 percent of the total disbursements from the campaign during this time. Over the first three quarters of 2019, Omar’s campaign paid out a total of $310,000 to the E Street Group. Accounting for the fourth-quarter payments, Mynett’s firm collected a total of $525,000 from Omar’s campaign in 2019. The latest developments to emerge from her alleged martial affair are separate from the allegations that she allegedly married her brother. The FBI is reportedly reviewing evidence that it has received indicating that Omar married her brother, according to The New York Post, which added that the FBI was also planning on sharing its findings with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials and the U.S. Department of Education.

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8013283/Ilhan-Omar-DID-marry-brother-reveals-Somali-community-leader.html‘Squad’ congresswoman Ilhan Omar told friends years ago that the man who went on to become her second husband was in fact her brother, DailyMail.com can confirm. And now for the first time one of those friends has come forward to reveal exactly how Omar and Ahmed Elmi scandalized the Somali community in Minneapolis. Abdihakim Osman is the first person to go on record to speak of how Omar said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United States, at a time when she was married to her first husband Ahmed Hirsi. But hardly anyone realized that meant marrying him. ‘No one knew there had been a wedding until the media turned up the marriage certificate years later,’ Osman, 40, exclusively told DailyMail.com. Osman’s revelations are sure to renew calls for an investigation into the Minnesota freshman representative who has repeatedly refused to answer questions on her marriage to Elmi. She originally said the idea that the spouses were also siblings were ‘baseless, absurd rumors’, accusing journalists of Islamophobia, but has since stayed quiet.

freebeacon.com/politics/tlaib-pictured-in-t-shirt-that-erases-israel-off-the-map/Tlaib Pictured in T-Shirt That Erases Israel Off the Map Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) was recently pictured sporting a t-shirt that portrays the modern state of Israel as belonging entirely to Palestine. Tlaib, one of Congress's leading critics of Israel, was pictured in the t-shirt while promoting a recently published book by Linda Sarsour, another outspoken critic of the Jewish state who serves as a surrogate for the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign. The shirt portrays present-day Israel as a Palestinian state. Shirts of this nature have been a mainstay of pro-Palestinian activists who reject a two-state solution and argue that the world's only Jewish state should not exist. "Stand in solidarity with Palestine by wearing this beautiful Palestinian tee-shirt," reads one online advertisement for the shirt worn by Tlaib. "An outlined map of Palestine is filled with red, white, and green Arabic letters that look stunning from a distance and spell the word Palestine up close. A patterned shemagh wraps around the neck of the Palestinian state like the brave soldiers whose boots stand on the dusty ground." Tlaib did not respond to a request for comment. Tlaib has been repeatedly criticized by the pro-Israel and Jewish communities for comments they say are anti-Semitic. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which combats anti-Semitic incitement, condemned Tlaib in late January for tweeting an inaccurate story claiming Israeli Jews murdered a Palestinian child. The ADL cited her for promoting a "blood libel" that was "steeped in centuries-old accusations used to demonize Jews." Tlaib's associations with many organizations and causes that single Israel out for undue criticism have also generated deep divides between the congresswoman and the pro-Israel community. They include groups that support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, which critics call anti-Semitic for its promotion of economic boycotts against Jewish-owned businesses.

www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/04/20/ocasio-cortez-deletes-praise-of-oil-price-crash-you-absolutely-love-to-see-it/Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Monday deleted a message in which she appeared to cheer a historic drop in oil prices as an opportunity to invest in “green infrastructure to save our planet.” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on social media in response to news about oil prices falling to “negative values.” “You absolutely love to see it,” the freshman congresswoman said in response. “This along with record low interest rates means it’s the right time for a worker-led, mass investment in green infrastructure to save our planet.” The lawmaker ended her tweet with “*cough*,” implying that the price crash vindicated her previous environmental activism. Moments later, Ocasio-Cortez removed the post and replaced it with a more somber tone, arguing it was a “snapshot” of a “turning point” for the climate change movement. “Fossil fuels are in long-term structural decline. This along w/ low interest rates means it‘s the right time to create millions of jobs transitioning to renewable and clean energy,” the New York Democrat wrote. “A key opportunity.” This snapshot is being acknowledged as a turning point in the climate movement. Fossil fuels are in long-term structural decline. This along w/ low interest rates means it‘s the right time to create millions of jobs transitioning to renewable and clean energy. A key opportunity. t.co/UqT8DI5u2I— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@aoc) April 20, 2020 Several conservative reporters critized Ocasio-Cortez’s message and shared screenshots of it around social media. “After deleting that tweet, I would love to see Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who loves to remind people she has an econ degree, explain contango and oil contracts to the rest of us who don’t see the logic in what she’s suggesting,” asked RealClearInvestigations senior writer Mark Hemingway. Oil futures plunged below zero on Monday, the latest never-before-seen number to come out of the economic coma caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Stocks and Treasury yields also dropped on Wall Street, with the S&P 500 down 1.8%, but the market’s most dramatic action by far was in oil, where the cost to have a barrel of U.S. crude delivered in May plummeted to negative $37.63. It was at roughly $60 at the start of the year. Traders are still paying $20.43 for a barrel of U.S. oil to be delivered in June, which analysts consider to be closer to the “true” price of oil. Crude to be delivered next month, meanwhile, is running up against a stark problem: traders are running out of places to keep it, with storage tanks close to full amid a collapse in demand as factories, automobiles and airplanes sit idled around the world. Tanks at a key energy hub in Oklahoma could hit their limits within three weeks, according to Chris Midgley, head of analytics at S&P Global Platts. Because of that, traders are willing to pay others to take that oil for delivery in May off their hands, so long as they also take the burden of figuring out where to keep it.

thefederalist.com/2020/04/20/aoc-cheers-destruction-of-u-s-energy-industry-jobs-you-absolutely-love-to-see-it/AOC Cheers Destruction Of U.S. Energy Industry, Jobs: ‘You Absolutely Love To See It’ APRIL 20, 2020 By Tristan Justice Freshman New York Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cheered the destruction of jobs in the energy industry in a since-deleted tweet on Monday. “You absolutely love to see it,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in response to a tweet reporting on oil prices dropping below zero. “This along with record low interest rates means it’s the right time for a worker-led, mass investment in green infrastructure to save our planet. *cough*” The New York socialist deleted her comment just moments after publishing, following backlash. Prices on contracts for May delivery of crude oil plummeted below zero Monday as the economic crisis over the Wuhan coronavirus continues to worsen and a majority of Americans remain on lockdown. Prices reached -$37.63 a barrel marking it the first time in history that the price of oil has gone negative. As U.S. storage fills up with lack of energy demand, the price decline suggests that sellers are in possession of a worthless product and are more inclined to pay others to dispose of it. The collapse in oil deals a major blow to the Trump administration which had gone out of its way to protect the industry in the face of declining demand, including unprecedented coordination with OPEC to cut production. The steep decline in energy demand will inevitably land thousands more out of work to pile on to the more than 22 million Americans who have already lost their jobs in just four weeks throughout the crisis.

Yes, because who wants to have economic freedom, a roof over their head, food on the table, happiness, etc no? www.dailywire.com/news/ocasio-cortez-condescends-americans-should-refuse-to-go-back-to-workOcasio-Cortez Condescends: Americans Should Refuse To Go Back To Work Speaking on a new talk show that will premiere Wednesday night, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who receives an annual salary of $174,000 and whose remarks this month about the United States have engendered an incendiary response, urged Americans to refuse to go back to work once the economy begins to open up. Vice TV, which will air “A Seat at the Table” along with Ocasio-Cortez’s commentary, reported, “Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls for a national work boycott. The congresswoman says Americans should refuse to go back to work.” Ocasio-Cortez reportedly stated on the show, “When we talk about this idea of reopening society you know, only in America —does the president — when the president tweets about liberation — does he mean go back to work. When we have this discussion about going back or reopening, I think a lot people should just say no — we’re not going back to that,” according to the Washington Times, which added that Ocasio-Cortez continued, “We’re not going back to working 70-hour weeks just so that we can put food on the table and not even feel any sort of semblance of security in our lives.” Ocasio-Cortez was referring to President Trump’s series of tweets calling for the liberation of states that have been encumbered with stay-at-home orders and lockdowns. Ironically, considering she is calling for Americans to remain jobless, this week Ocasio-Cortez blamed the Trump administration for the loss of 20 million jobs, lecturing: Mass unemployment was a choice. We did not need to lose 20 million jobs. We didn’t. We had options and the option that we chose was to do nothing, despite the fact that we could have done something to save millions of jobs in this country. And so, our political leadership, starting right at the White House and paired right up there with Mitch McConnell, said, hmm, we could take bold action right now to guarantee people’s jobs and guarantee payroll in this country, or we can allow mass unemployment. And what was allowed to happen, the thing that we chose, not we, but they, chose was mass unemployment and that is going to take years for us to recover from. As The Daily Wire reported, “Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks are not true. Republicans have repeatedly led on the issue of providing funding to Americans and American businesses that are struggling as a result of the pandemic only to be repeatedly blocked by Democrats.” Ocasio-Cortez has been issuing all sorts of vitriolic attacks in April; in early April, Ocasio-Cortez slammed the United States as an inhumane society, saying on Democracy Now!“We should have universal systems where every person can see the doctor free of charge when they need to see it so that they can get the care that they need. That is what it means to live in an advanced and modern and humane society, and so long as we don’t do that, we have not earned the right to call ourselves one.” Ocasio-Cortez’s high-handed perspective was reinforced when earlier this week she celebrated the loss of jobs in the oil industry, huffing after oil futures plunged below zero, “You absolutely love to see it. This along with record low interest rates means it’s the right time for a worker-led, mass investment in green infrastructure to save our planet. *cough*.”

www.dailywire.com/news/oops-ocasio-cortez-booted-out-of-progressive-ballot-spot-after-failing-to-get-just-fifteen-signaturesOops! Ocasio-Cortez Booted Out Of Progressive Ballot Spot After Failing To Get Just Fifteen Signatures Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) may have unintentionally handicapped her own re-election campaign after failing to get the necessary 15 signatures to place her name on the November ballot in New York under the “progressive union-backed Working Families Party (WFP)” per Fox News. Ocasio-Cortez wanted her name placed on the ballot under the WFP apparently as a way of ensuring that she remains a choice for voters in November, even if she doesn’t make it through the Democratic primary for her Congressional district. She’s currently facing a tough primary challenge from Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, another Democrat with local ties to the Bronx, who has pledged to spend more time working with Ocasio-Cortez’s constituents and less time seeking national prominence. “The Working Families Party is an independent political party that cross-endorses progressive candidates through New York’s fusion voting system — which allows endorsement across ballot lines — to press Democrats to the left and extract concessions without being dismissed by voters as a spoiler,” Fox News reported. New York greatly scaled back the number of signatures candidates need to get on the state ballot in order to avoid candidates and their campaigns going door-to-door and potentially spreading the novel coronavirus. The state announced that just 14.5 signatures (functionally, 15 signatures) are necessary to earn a spot on a ballot line. Ocasio-Cortez turned in “only 13 signatures from members of the progressive group that has dubbed itself the ‘Tea Party of the left’ — two short of what she needed to get on the ballot.” After complaints, a judge booted her from the ballot under the WFP’s name. The blunder probably won’t cost Ocasio-Cortez much — she’s still favored to win the Democratic primary in her district, which has been rescheduled for later this month — but she was probably hoping to avoid having to do any real campaigning in her district, particularly given that there are complaints among her constituents that she prioritizes national issues over local ones. She’d also likely prefer to focus her efforts on former Vice President Joe Biden’s national, presidential campaign. On Tuesday, Ocasio-Cortez was named to the former Veep’s national policy team and will coordinate the candidate’s platform on climate change (Ocasio-Cortez, the author of the disastrous, monstrously expensive Green New Deal, is considered an “expert” on the issue). Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign told The Hill in a statement that the decision has no impact on its strategy. The Working Families Party also says it will focus its own efforts on getting Ocasio-Cortez re-elected, regardless of which line she appears on on the final ballot. “As the pandemic was erupting, we did not believe it was appropriate to put canvassers or voters’ health at risk. We stopped collecting signatures — knowing it would not affect our ability to help in the Democratic primary,” the party noted in a statement from its leadership Wednesday.
