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.

DNC candidate Ellison ranted about "Jewish slave traders' this time

Rep. Keith Ellison (D.-Minn.) is a Muslim who want to head the Democratic National Committee (DNC) but he's been caught at making anti-Semitic remarks in the past, and has a long history of Jew-hating.

Of course, this recent rant is merely one of many anti-Semitic rants he's spewed. As Mother Jones reported, when he attended the University of Minnesota in the late 1980s, he allegedly said that "European white Jews were trying to oppress minorities all over the world," and referred to them as "Jewish slave traders."

Interestingly, he has nothing to say about the present ongoing slave trade in Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia.

Ellison is also a huge supporter of the racist Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Ellison wrote under the name Keith Hakim for the student paper, the Minnesota Daily, defending Farrakhan. He also introduced Kwame Ture, the black power activist who used to be known as Stokely Carmichael, when he spoke at the university. 

Ture called Zionism a form of white supremacy.

Technically, an actual form of supremacy, be it white or any skin color, is the religion of Islam. Not only does it see itself exalted above all other religions and Muslims to be "the best of people, Jews have earned Allah's anger" (Quran: 3:110-112), it also clearly states "Unbelievers, particularly Jews, are accursed" (Quran 2:89), and "Allah transforms disobedient Jews into apes" (2:63).

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

So if you're wondering where all this hatred comes from, just read the "Noble Quran." Every page is chock full of hatred, particularly Jewish hatred.

In spite of the fact that Ture called Zionism a form of white supremacy, Ellison insisted Ture wasn't a racist when the university organized a series of conversations between blacks and Jews. But Ellison is known to have said that "European white Jews are trying to oppress minorities all over the world.," and he spoke of Jewish slave traders.

It's horrible that a person like that can be a U.S. congressman. You see, even black people can be racists, but they often deny it's possible.

Gray Lady goofed again--corrects editorial about Palin, sort of

The paper of record (LMAO) New York Times, had to correct their Fake News editorial in which they stated as fact a debunked load of garbage that Jared Loughner, the schizophrenic who shot Gabby Giffords in 2011, was inspired to do so by a map circulated by Sarah Palin showing a bullseye.

The editorial titled "America's Lethal Politics," was posted on Wednesday and social media went bonkers. 

The editorial read, in part:
"Was this attack evidence of how vicious American politics has become? Probably. In 2011, when Jared Lee Loughner opened fire in a supermarket parking lot, grievously wounding Representative Gabby Giffords and killing six people, including a 9-year-old girl, the link to political incitement was clear. Before the shooting, Sarah Palin's political action committee circulated a map targeting electoral districts that put Ms. Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized cross hairs."
The Times ran the editorial after Wednesday's shooting at a GOP congressional baseball practice, leaving 4 wounded, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and Matt Mika.

The rag posted a correction at the foot of the editorial online, rather than prominently posting it at the top:
Correction: June 15, 2017
An earlier version of this editorial incorrectly stated that a link existed between political incitement and the 2011 shooting of Representative Gabby Giffords. In fact, no such link was established.
Loughner's home was searched by authorities after the shooting and documents were found showing he had planned the shooting in advance.

"I planned ahead," a signed note left in a safe by Loughner read. "My assassination."

A letter was also found in the safe that Giffords wrote to Loughner on August 30, 2007, thanking him for attending a "Congress on Your Corner" event, according to an FBI affidavit.

The FBI said at the time of the shooting that Loughner had targeted Giffords, while The Times keeps targeting the truth. Now both sides are calling them out for being Fake News.

A tweet by New York Post editor John Podhoretz said, "The NYT editorial falsely claims Loughner shot Giffords dueto a target on a photo. It's not yet 11. They can change it. Let's see."

Even far left-wing Mother Jones senior editor Ben Dreyfull tweeted, "This NYT editorial is, in fact, stupid. Palin didn't make that loon shoot Gabby Giffords. "Rhetoric" didn't make today's whacko shoot either."

So maybe the left is slowly coming around and seeing that the real blame for these horrific acts need to be placed squarely on those who actually perpetrate them.

But I doubt it. Give it a few weeks and we'll see.

On Burning: One Muslim's Infidel is Another Muslim's Holy Muslim

Claiming the Islamic State is not Islamic or doesn't represent what Islam is really all about only says that you are either Islam-ignorant, lying for the sake of Islam (called Taqiyya) or that you belong to a different sect of Islam than the Muslim you claim is un-Islamic.

Sunnis believe the Shia's are infidels, and the feeling is mutual. Both believe Sufis are infidels, but the Sufis just keep on dancing anyway. Sunnis and Shia's hate the Jews because the Koran tells them to, and neither sect particularly likes anyone outside their own tight group.

When the Jordanian fighter pilot, Muah al-Kaseasbeh, was savagely burned to death by ISIS, a Jordanian spokesman told Fox News that it was totally un-Islamic to do so.
