Kamala Hahaharris begs for money to bail out her dismal campaign annihilation

"Can you help out? Your money will bail me out this time."

Instead of trying to raise money to bail out Minnesota Freedom Fund protesters who were jailed for protesting illegally after George Floyd's death, now Kamala Harris, the failed Democratic presidential candidate and currently MIA VP is trying to raise $20 million for the overspending she created in her campaign expenditures. It seems like $1,500,000,000 wasn't enough to blow in just 15 weeks.

Of that money wasted away, more than $654,000,000 was spent on ads from July 22 to Election Day, and there were high-profile events with paid celebrities on the eve of the election costing over $10,000,000. The incredibly Reverend Al "You're a Racist" Sharpton's organization got two payments of $250,000, Oprah's company, Harpo Productions, got about $2,500,000 to endorse the cackling loser, Megan Thee Stallion was allegedly paid $5,000,000 and she didn't even perform Wet A** Pu**y for the crowd. Then there was Eminem who allegedly received $1,800,000 and a woman named Beyoncé allegedly receiving $10,000,000. And finally, who can forget Lizzo who may have received $3,000,000, but there was no clear evidence to support that claim.

But with all that money in the Democrat's coffers, Kamala Harris ended up being $20,000,000 in debt. And that's because it was never her money to spend--it was her donors' and many of them are pissed.

Now the alleged Vice President is still trying to extort donors for money, weeks after her landslide loss, leaving supporters spent.


“With Trump nominating MAGA loyalists left and right, there is nothing more important than making sure we can fight back and hold him accountable,” read an email from Kamala HQ, the New York Post reported.  “That’s why we need you to step up today. Yes, today.”

“Our records show that you haven’t pitched in to support our Harris Fight Fund program yet,” the missive scolded. “We know the election didn’t turn out as we’d hoped, but we’re not backing down.” 

The nonstop squeegie panhandling was pure Harris as it alienated Democrats who donated and/or voted for her. She has absolutely no political instincts nor the common sense to use common sense.

“Getting fundraising requests after any candidate has lost, when they admit that they are still millions of dollars in debt, having blown through over a billion dollars … is especially galling,” Democratic strategist Jon Reinish told the newspaper.

“When I got yet another request form the Harris campaign for me to pony up. Quiet frankly I thought it was insulting,” Reinish added.

More than half a billion dollars went to just four well-connected Democratic media consulting shops, according to records and reports. 

Money well wasted.

None of Harris’ funding emails mention any of the spending or the campaign committee’s alleged financial woes.

Gaza "journalist" arrested and admits he's a terrorist" during questioning

Rida 

Amro Abu Rida, a alleged journalist from Gaza, was arrested for being involved in the October 7 massacre. During an interrogation by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), he confessed that he isn't actually a journalist, as reported by KAN news on Wednesday night.

Instead, Rida is a Hamasshole supporting, Jew-hating, barely bathing terrorist.

In the interrogation, Amro also revealed that he is a member of the Popular Front, a small terrorist group. He admitted to kicking the body of one of the hostages, according to KAN, and said that he misses his "pet" goat Ayisha. 

So what we have learned is that Gaza journalism is to Hamas as American liberal journalism is to the Democratic Party.

There was a GoFundMe page back this past January titled: "Help Amr Abud Raza Bring Joy to Children in Gaza." Now we can imagine where the money actually went because Hamassholes do not value Gaza children--they use their schools to store weapons, and their bodies to act as shields.

George Santos stepped in dog scam and other piles of lies


George Santos, if that's his real name

Serial liar New York Rep. George Santos (R) stepped down from his committee assignments as an attempt to assuage the public's questioning his legitimacy as a congressman, but things may get a lot worse for him.

The Department of Justice [DoJ] just took over the investigation into the embattled bozo's campaign finance activity recently and it looks as if they will have plenty of damning material to work with. 

First of all, a new report from Mother Jones provides the results of an investigation into myriad campaign contributions that Santos claimed to receive from some of his relatives who live in Queens, New York, totaling more than $45,000. 

Some of Santos' donors are figments of his imagination [aka creation]. They don't exist, but his relatives do, and while they seem to be incredibly generous, one of them who was visited by the media was "dumbfounded" by the notion that they had been a maximum-level donor to Santos' campaign. The family member insisted that they had not given Santos' campaign a single penny, and this is a serious problem for him.

The veracity-impoverished congressman's campaign filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), stated that he pulled in over $45,000 from his Queens relatives. Included in the mix, a mail handler was listed to have given over $4,000, a painter donated the maximum of $5,800, a student also gave $5,800. One of his relatives said they did not make any donation but was listed as having given $5,800.

And while Mother Jones is an obvious left-wing paper, they deserve credit for this kind of reporting. Of course, if Santos had been a Democrat, who knows what, if any, reporting would have taken place.

Santos’ sister is listed as having donated more than $5,000 to his campaign, but when Mother Jones contacted her, she would neither confirm nor deny that she or anyone else in the family had contributed to his campaign. Interestingly, this sister was recently facing possible eviction from her home over failure to pay her rent, and making a donation she was alleged to have made, seems kind of Santos-ish.

Lying about campaign contributions is a criminal offense and could actually get Santos prison time, which would obviously force him out of Congress. If the allegations are proven true, that shows how incompetent a criminal he is.

According to an NBC poll this week, 78% of Santos’ voters want him to resign. “And yet he persists.”

In another unrelated Santos story of an accusation leveled at him by Richard Osthoff, a Navy veteran, in which Santos was alleged to have stolen $3,000 from a GoFundMe account set up to pay for cancer surgery for his service dog, and then the account disappeared. It was supposedly administered by Santos' "Friends of Pets United," a fake charity that did not exist.

The FBI has spoken to Osthoff who claims the lying Long Island Rep. George Santos conned him out of thousands of dollars meant to go toward saving his dying service dog, according to a report.

So time will tell whether this scumbag remains in office. Anyone who would screw a pet owner out of life saving surgery and steal his money, needs to get what he deserves.

I suspect he will be getting a not so friendly knocking on his office door.

Ron DeSantis goes after GoFundMe and confirms they're under investigation now


Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is joined with a number of Republican attorneys general to investigate the crowdfunding "platform" GoFundMe after the company decided to cut off funding for Canada's Freedom Convoy. They initially said that they would take the money that was donated for the Freedom Convoy and give it to organizations that they preferred rather than to the one that the donors intended it for. 

GoFundMe claimed Friday that the protest aimed at ending Canada’s vaccine mandates was becoming violent and therefore the Freedom Convoy would not see a penny of the $9 million donated but not yet distributed to the group. This claim is a total lie--even the local police stated that there were no acts of violence [like BLM and Antifa] and there was no looting or arson [like BLM and Antifa]. 

Not surprisingly, GoFundMe did not cut off donations to BLM or Antifa even when it was obvious to anyone with a brain, that they were committing acts of violence, looting, arson and even murder.

In its initial announcement, GoFundMe’s wording indicated to lucid readers that the donations could instead be used by any group it chose. That's like donating to the Cancer Society and they take your donation and give it to Stacy Abrams' gubernatorial campaign, for example.

After getting caught, GoFundMe issued a statement saying it would simply refund money to all donors--as if they were doing anyone a favor.

Stopping the financial assistance to the protesters sparked Gov. DeSantis' reaction and attorneys general such as  Jeff Landry (R-LA) Patrick Morrisey (R-WV) and Dave Yost (R-OH).
It is a fraud for @gofundme to commandeer $9M in donations sent to support truckers and give it to causes of their own choosing.

I will work with @AGAshleyMoody to investigate these deceptive practices — these donors should be given a refund.

— Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) February 5, 2022
Then others soon joined in.
🚨It’s totally unacceptable for @gofundme to siphon over $9M in donations sent to support #TruckersForFreedom2020 & funnel it to causes it supports.

I will be investigating these deceptive practices. Donors should be given a refund.#TruckersConvoy2022 #TruckersForFreedom

— Eric Schmitt (@Eric_Schmitt) February 5, 2022
I share the concerns of @WestVirginiaAG. My office will be looking into whether or not #GoFundMe violated our state law. If you are a Louisiana donor to the #FreedomConvoy, please contact my #ConsumerProtection Section! #lagov https://t.co/lwCAvsbLrY

— AG Jeff Landry (@AGJeffLandry) February 5, 2022
Donald Trump Jr. called for a coordinated response.
All GOP Attorney Generals should be looking at this & helping to get people their $$$ back so it can be redirected to the truckers. Don’t let @gofundme scam you… call your AGs & let them know. GFM seems to have no problem finding BLM riots… peaceful truckers should be fine too. https://t.co/YYLpQDUYl1

— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) February 5, 2022


Yost said any Ohio residents impacted by this should contact him.
It is deeply troubling to me that a professional fundraiser like #GoFundMe thought they had a right to take donations they are holding in trust and simply “redirect” them.

We are going to get to the bottom of this.

— Attorney General Dave Yost (@DaveYostOH) February 5, 2022
Yost told WANE-TV that GoFundMe "isn't playing G_d with other people's money," and that simply because the money gets refunded does not mean the investigation is over.

“While that is a welcomed move, I am still interested in collecting information to make sure such things do not happen in the future,” Yost said. “Ohioans rely on their platform to do good, and their intentions and hopes should be honored.”

The crowdfunding website GiveandGo has since stepped in and was closing in on $2.8 million in donations for the Freedom Convoy as of early Sunday afternoon EST.

Why not subscribe to Brain Flushings and check out the ads on these pages. It costs nothing to subscribe and it's worth every penny. And remember, every time you click on an ad, you help in the fight against the tech giants.

So if you see a cause you want to donate to in the future, you might want to use GiveandGo and never use GoFundMe again. If the Left wants to play that game, conservatives, independents, and libertarians might want to do the same.

And if certain Republicans are too squishy to stand tall against the attacks on the U.S. Constitution, vote for someone who will--it's time to clean up after the party. 

Just don't vote for the fascist Left.

WaPo reporter tries to kill border wall GoFundMe--gets denied and cries about blowback

Brian Kolfage
A Washington Post "reporter" tried to pressure GoFundMe to shut down a donation page raising money to build President Trump's border wall, but the scumcrumpet was denied.

The donation page titled, "We the People Will Fund the Wall," was created by Air Force veteran and triple-amputee, Brian Kolfage.

The page has already reached $12 million in donations, but the goal has been set $5 billion, which approximates the cost of the wall and which seems mathematically unlikely to reach in our lifetime. It's the thought that counts, except when you actually want to pay for something.

Tony Romm, the activist "journalist" in question, posted his concerns about the border wall donation page to his Twitter account, proving once again that real journalism is dead.

Romm tweeted:
"So there's an effort on GoFundMe to raise cash money for a border wall. Has more than $5M in donations (seeking $1B) and claims to have contacts in the Trump admin (have asked for more)."
Any writer who begins a sentence with "So," is a hack. He continued to tweet:
"But it got me thinking: is that, like, allowed on the site?" 
Well. like, duh, um, yeah, it is. Here are the full, um, sentences he tweeted:
"So there's an effort on GoFundMe to raise cash money for a border wall. Has more than $5M in donations (seeking $1B) and claims to have contacts in the Trump admin (have asked for more). But it got me thinking: is that, like, allowed on the site? (1/3)"
Actually, there is currently more than $12 million in donations, but still far short of the $5 billion he hopes to get for the wall. Romm said that Kolfage is seeking $1 billion--he isn't even correct about the amount.
Weasel Whisperer Tony Romm

Romm said that he believed the donation page was in violation of the site's rules against intolerance. [Note how the intolerant speak of the other's intolerance, just like Antifa speaks out against fascism.]

He tweeted:
"GoFundMe terms prohibit attempts to raise cash money rooted in 'intolerance of any kind relating to race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender or gender identity, or serious disabilities or diseases,' among other limits."
The wall has nothing to do with race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender or gender identity, or serious disabilities or diseases. Except in the latter case, we don't want to admit anyone with a serious contagious disease. No country does, nor would it allow entry. That's just stupid.

The wall has to do with abiding by the U.S. Constitution and our rule of law. Nobody cares who comes lawfully into the country--there has never been any controversy over that issue because the U.S. is comprised of all nationalities and religious affiliations, as well as men who think they're women and vice-versa.

Romm, who is a technology policy weasel whisperer for the leftist Washington Post, said that a spokesperson from the donation crowdfunding site told him the project was not in violation of their terms.
So I asked GoFundMe if this wall fundraiser violates that. Spox: "This campaign does not violate our terms of service. The funds are safely held by our payment processor and we will work with the organizer to transfer funds" or return them if target isn't met (3/3)"
Romm then complained that his attack in an attempt to kill the donation page was being misrepresented as politically motivated on Twitter. The fake reporter said:
"the state of our discourse is such that this thread -- which merely explores the funding campaign in the context of the site's ToS -- is a political lightning rod. somehow the most boring legalese has turned into a rallying cry for a certain set of users to go on the attack"
"[S]omehow the most boring legalese has turned into a rallying cry for a certain set of users to go on the attack." 
I suspect if Romm was somehow able to stop the wall GoFundMe page from operating, he would take credit for stopping Kolfage from his goal of funding something he believes in for the country. He already gave up three of his limbs for the U.S.A. and still wants to give more in an effort to do what's right.

Romm, on the other hand, gave up some of his free time to type words on Twitter and complain that he couldn't get his way and gain fame as a spoiler.

What a freaking hero.


Hello fellow conservatives. At this time of year when everyone has a hand out for a hand-out, I don't. I simply want you to follow Brain Flushings and check out the ads on this page. It's free, I'm free and you're free to follow me or not. I hope you do. 

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

Valerie Plame Wilson wants to buy Twitter to boot Trump off

Former undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson wants to have you send her your money so she can buy Twitter and kick President Trump off of the social media site. That's called socialism for a seditious purpose.

Wilson began the fundraiser last week. She tweeted: "If @Twitter executives won't shut down Trump's violence and hate, then it's up to us. #BuyTwitter #BanTrump." 

She did not give one example of Trump's violence and/or hate, but the GoFundMe page has a billion-dollar goal. It says that Trump's tweets "damage the country and put people in harm's way."

In this case, 'harm' is Antifa, not the white supremacist scum wafers who attacked them in Charlottesville on August 12th.

Wilson said she hopes the fundraiser will allow her to buy enough Twitter stock for a controlling interest in the company.

But she forgot one thing: the U.S. Constitution stands in her way. She doesn't get to decide what speech is permissible and what needs to be banned.

Another problem for her is that as of Wednesday morning, she has raised less than $6,000; just slightly more than $999,994,000.00 shy of her goal. At that rate, she should be able to raise the cash in approximately 456 years. 

Wilson's identity as a CIA operative was leaked by an official in the President George W. Bush's administration in 2003. She left the agency in 2005.

It's possible that once Wilson raises a substantial amount of cash, she will go back undercover, never to be seen again.
