The Democratic Party is fighting to protect what it calls the “Obama coalition” of African-Americans, Latinos, and young people by trying to overturn certain voter legislation, with the help of billionaire George Marc Elias, described by the Washington Post (WAPO) as a “Democratic superlawyer,” has been bringing a number of cases to battleground states where Republicans have tweaked laws to supposedly work in their favor. For the 2016 election, 15 states introduced new voting restrictions, ranging from strict photo ID requirements to early and same-day voting limits. At the same time, however, both Democrats and Republicans continue to oppose laws...

SUB-HEADING - Group aims to register 400,000 new Hispanic voters before November election A political action committee largely funded by liberal billionaire George Soros is paying salaries to employees at a pro-illegal immigrant group. The Immigrant Voters Win PAC was launched in March with the goal of registering 400,000 new Hispanic voters before the November elections. The PAC is a joint effort between numerous left-wing immigration activist groups as part of the larger “Families Fight Back” campaign organized in opposition to Republican politicians. The group has raised $4 million since its inception, according to the PAC’s financial filings with the...

In an interview with Mrs. Clarence Thomas, the president of the Capital Research Center reveals how left-wing donors like George Soros and Tom Steyer are now the tail wagging the Democratic Party dog. He also discusses how the Clinton Foundation is not really a foundation, and how Clinton crony Terry McAuliffe, now governor of Virginia, appears to use the sale of foreign visas to generate tax dollars for his business, foreign national investment for his business, foreign nationals' political contributions for him and his friends, and millions more in donations for the Clinton Foundation.

George Soros' family-office hedge fund, Soros Fund Management, initiated a new position in Synchrony Financial during the fourth quarter, the fund's latest regulatory filing shows. At the end of the fourth quarter, the fund held 7,127,865 shares, a position valued at more than $216.7 million, the 13F filing shows. Synchrony, a consumer financial-services company, is now Soros' second-largest equity position.

The Democratic Party’s top donors are pouring money into Colorado political groups, drawing attention to state legislative contests and ballot fights that could affect the redrawing of key congressional districts, public records show. Billionaire hedge fund managers George Soros and Tom Steyer are steering money to Colorado state senate candidates, while the Democracy Alliance, a leading left-wing donor club created ten years ago by four wealthy Colorado Democrats, provides financing for an interconnected network of Democrat-aligned political groups. Campaign finance data reveals how the Alliance and its top donors are implementing a strategy conceived last year to retake power at...

George Soros is back. The billionaire investor, who scaled back his political giving after a then-unprecedented $27 million spending spree to try to defeat George Bush in 2004, has quietly reemerged as a leading funder of Democratic politics — and as a leading bogeyman of conservatives.

Megaphone Strategies PHILADELPHIA — Self-described “communist” and “rowdy black nationalist” Van Jones is starting a new “social justice” public relations outfit to be called Megaphone Strategies. The firm touts itself as a “social justice media strategy firm run for purpose, not profit.” (Good luck with your efforts to circumvent human nature, Comrade Jones.) Molly Haigh, communications director for the Progressive Change Campaign Committee is his partner in this new adventure in antisocial activism.

At almost all other Trump events masked thugs attack Trump supporters and try to disrupt events. Leftist groups had threatened to block the streets and shut down the convention. There were demonstrations but almost no assaults. Do you think this is because demonstrators thought Trump supporters might be legally armed? Did the demonstrators not want to risk getting shot during one of their assaults?

Believe it or not, the job may go to a former Clinton donor if Trump is elected. Donald Trump has told prospective donors that, if elected president, he plans to nominate former Goldman Sachs banker Steve Mnuchin for U.S. Treasury Secretary. That’s according to Anthony Scaramucci, a high-profile hedge fund manager and Trump fundraiser. Mnuchin, who is a former donor to Hillary Clinton, spent 17 years with Goldman Sachs, where his father also had been a prominent executive. He later worked with investment groups affiliated with George Soros, including as chairman of controversial mortgage lender OneWest Bank Group (which would...

Infowars founder and radio host Alex Jones was in Cleveland Tuesday afternoon for the Republican National Convention. He was there to promote free speech and speak out against the protesters, who Jones called “globalists fomenting civil war in America” while “pushing communism and a race war." Jones went right into the middle of the crowd and responded to their protest. His comments over megaphone included, "The communists are a bunch of murdering scum worldwide, and George Soros is a Nazi-collaborator funding these organizations" and "We are here to promote a free, open election in this country and an open, free...

Catholics are as divided as the rest of the nation when it comes to voting, and many look to activist Catholic groups for guidance. While there are good people on both sides, not every organization that adopts the Catholic label is to be trusted. For the record, I am not talking about entities that lean left or lean right—the Church itself is not one-dimensional. I am speaking about activist groups that claim to be Catholic yet receive a large share of their funding from forces that are manifestly hostile to Catholicism. This is certainly the case with Catholics in Alliance...

This is killer Gavin Long a/k/a Cosmo Setepenra's list of books. http://convoswithcosmo.com/man-datory-reading-list/ Note this one - the only one listed related to American race issues: "The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander This is the title I immediately and robotically recite anytime someone is looking for a book recommendation. By far the most infuriating book I’ve read, but vital for anyone that’s looking to understand why the #BlackLivesMatter movement exists. Why Black people are angry. And why the black father is absent in most Black homes (done so intentionally via the system of White Supremacy). It’s an unrelenting and exhaustively...

Just a breaking news report over KTLA so far

The following piece appeared on the Freedom Outpost in April of 2015. Clearly the efforts by liberal Democrats and cowardly Republicans to destroy our nation have not changed during the intervening months, unless it had been to quicken in their pace and expand in their contempt for the wishes of the American people. Everything considered, this is a reasonable question. In spite of our President's apologies and our First Lady's lack of pride in the United States of America, multiple records have shown that we have been, and still are, the most generous people ever to have populated this earth....

Billionaire George Soros has funded liberal organizations intent on bringing confusion, disarray and trouble to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next week. And they’ve already had some victories. Civil rights group Color of Change — which Mr. Soros gave $500,000 to in his Foundation’s latest tax return — collected more than 100,000 signatures on a petition to demand Coca-Cola and other companies withdraw their support from the convention. The petition that featured a Coke bottle with the label, “Share a Coke with the KKK.”

DeRay McKesson seems to be the man of the hour in the #BlackLivesMatter movement, having just attended a summit at the White House, from which he Tweeted. But he is also living proof of the Astroturf origins of the movement treated so seriously by President Obama. Ryan Girdusky of The American Mirror: #BlackLivesMatter leader DeRay Mckesson may claim to be leading a grassroots revolution for racial and economic justice, but he has close connections with the privileged and elite. Mckesson lives in a home owned by philanthropists James and Robin Wood in Baltimore, Maryland. It’s the same address he used...

#BlackLivesMatter leader DeRay Mckesson may claim to be leading a grassroots revolution for racial and economic justice, but he has close connections with the privileged and elite. Mckesson lives in a home owned by philanthropists James and Robin Wood in Baltimore, Maryland. It’s the same address he used when declaring his residency on his campaign committee registration form for his failed mayoral run in the city’s Democratic primary earlier this year.

#BlackLivesMatter leader DeRay Mckesson may claim to be leading a grassroots revolution for racial and economic justice, but he has close connections with the privileged and elite. Mckesson lives in a home owned by philanthropists James and Robin Wood in Baltimore, Maryland. It’s the same address he used when declaring his residency on his campaign committee registration form for his failed mayoral run in the city’s Democratic primary earlier this year. The Woods have owned the home since 1996 and are wealthy donors to the Baltimore chapter of George Soros’ Open Society Institute.
