WINNING! DOJ Ends Shadowy Obama-Era Slush Fund That Paid For Activities by Violent Left-Wing Groups
thegatewaypundit ^ | Cristina Laila

Posted on 06/07/2017 1:09:59 PM PDT by davikkm

The Justice Department announced Wednesday that it will be ending an Obama/Holder-era slush fund that funded radical left-wing groups.

As TGP previously reported, the Obama administration funneled billions of dollars to activist organizations through a Department of Justice slush fund scheme, according to congressional investigators and the GOP was looking to eliminate it. Another win for Americans as Obama’s ‘legacy’ is erased and replaced with law and order.

To get Democrats on board, the Justice Department should have settled one large case and have the proceeds go to the NRA.

NRA????? Are you NUTS? How about the money this thieving bunch of elected officials steal from the American taxpayers go BACK to the taxpayers instead going to ANOTHER ponzi scheme organization.

NRA......BS, they will take your money and lobby the finest clientele in DC and we all know who that is.

Though how is it that WE all knew it was most likely happening yet the very people who are in government surrounded by it, who are supposed to be the watchdogs, are just now finding out about it?

Honestly, no we didn’t have the proof this was going on but along with everything else in the previous administration, and knowing what shady characters some of them were can you tell me it never crossed your mind that this was quite possible? I’m not surprised at all tbh.

Same here eartick. This better get followed through on. Tired of them dangling details of corruption in front of us and either not doing a damn thing about it or having hearings that never amount to any charges.

And none of the above are an excuse for letting the poodle Prince and Princess contaminate this administration by communicating the occult LGBTQXYWhatever agenda louder than conservative, American, ideological principles.

Sounds like a few ex-officials need to get charged under the RICO Act.

It’s not about what’s “good for him”.

I seem to recall him saying he works for us.

>>Twitter did not exist in Eisenhower’s or Reagan’s time

Yet Eisenhower and Reagan could communicate effectively without twitter.
.......................................................
What is good for him is good for the country. Nit-picking continually a man who has been an outstanding success in private life only adds fodder to the false attacks by the Democrats and the Media. President Trump has exposed the swamp of traitors inhabiting our nation’s capital, and has started cleaning up the swamp. He was elected to the presidency by true patriots who are fed up with the destruction of our country by the MARXIST GLOBALISTS who have been plotting against the REPUBLIC For DECADES. President Trump IS WORKING FOR US! He has nothing to gain personally and it is high time people recognize the sacrifice he and his family have made in order to serve our country.
Eisenhower was a lousy field general. His mistakes cost thousands of lives, yet his broad grin and political acumen covered the truth about his abilities....or lack of same. He was always a political pawn. His continual deference to Montgomery is proof enough of that. He became a huge admirer of the Brits and should have been more like Pershing IMO.I worked on his reelection campaign and knew him. He was not the huge success as president that he could have been given his aura of a great wartime general.
Reagan was the great communicator. He was a professional actor and had a way with words as well as a real All American boy aura. IMO he was an outstanding president, yet he did not have a clear path with the media as he too, was continually insulted by the rising Marxist influence in this country. His profession aided him enormously in his role as president. Had twitter existed, I can easily see President Reagan utilizing it to go to the American people directly.
The ULTIMATE objective of the anti-Twitter people is to destroy President Trump’s connection to the American people and above all his base. The BIAS of the left and the RINOS is sidestepped by Twitter and the president knows how to use it. Like it or lump it, he knows what he is doing and he is entitled to communicate in the fashion he chooses. HE IS THE PRESIDENT!
In wartime, and this country is at war for the future of a free America, free from the shackles of the Globalists, it is often necessary to create diversions in order to gain an objective. Think about that. I see his use of twitter as a huge plus, not a negative thing.

SMH.

"Nit picking" is the reason Jefferson wanted an educated public.

I guess Jefferson and Co. (who also knew what paragraphs were) weren't into admiring imperial poodle wear.

President Trump’s announcement that we are withdrawing from the Paris Agreement should be proof to you that the President is the BOSS and their influence has its limits.

Yeah. Nice contrast to attacking Syria in response to Princess Ivanka’s quivering.

Evidently you agree that the “State,” meaning the Federal Government, should be responsible for the “Education System.” You must be shocked that the Constitution does not give that authority to the Federal Government. It is reserved to the individual states. Common Core and in fact the entire Federal control of education is unconstitutional.
Perhaps Jefferson, as great as he was, would have had a say in the matter had he been in the US and not in France. We’ll never know.
When the education of the young was under the control of local and state school boards, our education system was much closer to the people and children learned unadulterated American History and much, much more. It is high time we return to supporting the Constitution and stop promoting Marxism. “From each according to his means, to each according to his needs” is NOT the American Way! We should be focused on supporting our president’s effort and not focused on his communication system which does not meet your personal criteria for what is “Presidential.”

NOT when it could potentially cost us our economic recovery and Trillions more in debt on the backs of our grandchildren.
Climate Change is a HOAX designed to strip America of its SOVEREIGNTY as well as its wealth. It is another Commie system and we should have nothing to do with it. EXPOSE it for what it is.

>>Evidently

Stuff that straw back in your chearleader shorts.

Evidently I agree with Thomas Jefferson... and John Adams.

“I do not like the reappearance of the Jesuits....
Shall we not have regular swarms of them here, in as many disguises as only a king
of the gipsies can assume, dressed as printers, publishers, writers and schoolmasters?
If ever there was a body of men who merited damnation on earth and in Hell,
it is this society of Loyola’s.
Nevertheless, we are compelled by our system of religious toleration
to offer them an asylum.”

—John Adams to Thomas Jefferson; May, 1816

The solution is not to abandon public education to the Jesuits and Cultural Marxists who’ve infested it - but to TAKE IT BACK, at all levels -  by, among other things, educating the public regarding how their eductional infrastructure and government have been co-opted.

Please provides URL links to where Trump has clearly articulated the difference between Marxism and American conservative ideology? 

Reagan didn't have a problem.


Meanwhile, Ivanka illustrates the education she received... from somebody -- and that speaks louder than any tweet.
