Dem Senator grateful a dead person [not Biden] donated to his campaign

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is facing criticism after Ohio election officials reported that a dead woman allegedly made a contribution to his campaign.

No greater love hath a dead person have than to contribute to a Democrat's campaign.   

According to the New York Post, an actual newspaper, Brown's campaign disclosed receiving two donations in May 2024, adding up to $350, from Carol Ann Baker of Toledo, Ohio. Sadly, Ms. Baker passed away to a better place in December 2023 and this raised eyebrows and red flags.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose forwarded the matter to the Federal Election Commission for further investigation because voter law requires voters and donors be alive at the time they gave their support to a candidate. 

“Our office received a complaint identifying that the Friends of Sherrod Brown committee reported receiving two contributions from an individual that was confirmed to be deceased,” LaRose spokesman Dan Lushek said, referring to the late Ms. Baker. “But, as that committee is a federal entity and not a filer with our office, we referred the complaint and our findings to the Federal Elections Commission for further action.”

In a letter sent to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Huan Yi, the head of investigations at the Ohio Secretary of State’s office, included an affidavit from Baker’s husband confirming her death. Prior to her passing, Ms. Baker was an English teacher at Rossford High School and served as a trustee for Harris Township.

Yi also mentioned that Ohio’s Election Integrity Unit would be available to assist with the investigation as needed.

“Ohioans deserve absolute confidence in their elections,” Yi said. “The purpose of this letter is to refer to your office potential violations of federal law for your investigation, as appropriate.”

Democrat voting block?

According to the complaint filed with Ohio election officials, the man who flagged the donations said he had reached out to the FEC in August, but did not hear anything back from them.

Brown is currently defending his seat from Republican challenger Bernie Moreno, whose campaign criticized him over the donations by the dearly departed.

“Brown’s scheme to fund his campaign with contributions from dead people isn’t just creepy, it’s illegal,” Moreno Press Secretary Reagan McCarthy said. “This conspiracy deserves more scrutiny. How far does it go?”

Well why not also check out the voter rolls and see how many dearly departed voted for Democrats.

While Ohio went comfortably for former President Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020, Brown currently maintains a 3.6 point average advantage in the polls heading into November. This may be due to Brown's unusual first name since Democrats seem to thrive on firsts of all stripes, although it's extremely unlikely that this was the first time a dead person contributed or voted for a Democrat.

Sen. Fetterman [aka 'The Riddler'] is verbally incoherent and confused

When a person suffers a life-threatening, life-altering stroke, or cerebral vascular accident, it's time to retire, relax and enjoy life to your best ability. It is certainly no time to be sitting as a U.S. senator for your state, but that's what Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman is doing, and his cognitive disability is obvious.

Fetterman was the last person at a hearing on the Silicon Valley Bank collapse to ask probing questions on Tuesday at the Senate Banking Committee hearing. 

His questions led the committee to silently ask their own questions about Fetterman's questions, such as, "What the hell did he just say?"

Fetterman addressed the witness noting that some of his colleagues "went to go to Hawaiis after there was a crash of your bank" and that he "couldn’t believe it."

Well, if a person with a severe cognitive impairment can allegedly run a country, be a U.S. senator, both in Pennsylvania and California [as in Dianne Feinstein] then what's the big deal? In Fetterman's case, he had been hospitalized for a stroke from mid-February to mid-April this year and admittedly also suffers from major depression.

"So I went up on the Internet and it’s like, it did happen. It did happen. It did happen," Fetterman repeatedly said, holding up a cutout of a New York Post headline titled "Ex-Silicon Valley Bank CEO Greg Becker jets to Hawaii after collapse."

"And it’s in Fortune, the second biggest bank in U.S. history collapsed and chose to go to Hawaii on that," the cognitively impaired Fetterman continued. "You know, I’ve never been to Hawaii and neither has my family. I guess I’ve never cranked, excuse me, crashed a bank."

So his way of thinking seems to be that only if you crash a bank can you go to Hawaii.

Fetterman then asked the witness if he believed it to be a "running joke" in the banking community that the federal government will bail them out whenever trouble struck. The witness, Breg Becker, the former Silicon Valley Bank CEO respectfully said that he didn't "believe that's the case."

"Really? Because every bank you seemingly that crashed, it’s like, ‘we can bail him out. This one crashed, we’ll bail them out,’" Fetterman replied. "So far, everything’s been true. So doesn’t it feel that now if a bank really believed that they wouldn’t be bailed out, now after bailing them out, these couple of bailouts, they are going to."

"Do you not believe that that is not outrageous, that, no matter how deplorable your performance is, you are made as whole and all by… taxpapers [sic]," the Pennsylvania senator continued. "So what do yous believe?"

Okay, that should make anyone who cares about the disabled to cringe and feel sympathy.

Fetterman then asked what would’ve happened if Silicon Valley Bank had not been bailed out before moving on to say, "Is it staggering? Is it a staggering… it’s a responsibility that the head of a bank could literally, could literally crash our economy."

"It’s astonishing. That’s like if you have, I mean like, and they also realize is that now they have… a guaranteed way to be saved by, again, by no matter, by how?" Fetterman babbled. "Isn’t it appropriate that this kind of control should be more stricter to prevent this kind of thing from going, or should we go on bailing and sailing whoever bank regardless of how… their conduct is?"

After a long pause with no answer, Fetterman said he would give "an example" before attacking Republicans for wanting to introduce food stamp work requirements and asking if Silicon Valley Bank should have a "working requirement" after the bailout.

"Because they seem more preoccupied when then SNAP requirements for works for hungry people but not about protecting the taxpapers [sic] that will bail no matter whatever does about a bank to crash it," Fetterman said, before for what seemed to be an eternity before turning control back over to committee chairman Sherrod Brown (D-OH).

And while Joe Calvello, Fetterman's spokesperson tries to cover for his boss' cognitive problems, it's clear to even a casual observer that John Fetterman, just like Joe Biden and Dianne Feinstein, are not up for the jobs they have.

It's time for them to retire and enjoy the remainder of their lives, because life is more than just political power.

Sen, Sherrod Brown pocketed thousands in donations from Pharma companies involved in the opioid epidemic

Ohio Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown pocketed hundreds of thousands of dollars from a trio of drug companies that were at the center of the opioid epidemic in the United States.

The Federal Exchange Commission (FEC) financial reports obtained by the New York Post, shows that Brown was paid over $200,000 from Political Action Committees (PACs) associated with Amerisource Bergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson, since 2003. 

These Big Pharma companies paid out a $26,000,000,000 settlement to settle thousands of individual lawsuits from states and local governments, Ohio being one of the hardest hit by the epidemic, with over 5,000 drug overdose deaths in 2021, the nation's fifth highest according to the CDC’s National Vital Statistics System. 

According to FEC filings, Senator Brown took in a total of $144,500 in contributions to his campaign and leadership PAC, America Works PAC. He raised $85,000 from Cardinal Health, $56,500 from AmerisourceBergen, and $1,500 from McKesson. 

The most recent donation was a $2,500 donation from Cardinal Health on September 21 and lobbyists from the three aforementioned companies handed him over $54,000, as well as $5,600 from a McKesson lobbyist in 2021. These three companies comprise about 90 percent of the U.S.  supply chain for medical supplies and drugs, and have allegedly been involved in the proliferation of opioids.

There's more to the seediness but suffice it to say, Sherrod Brown is yet another politician getting rich like the millionaire congressmen and women who made their millions from the stock market and insider information.

Brown is running for a fourth term in the US Senate in 2024 in a state that's quickly going Republican, as witnessed by the win of J.D. Vance last year. It seems like people are finally wising up about how the woke left is decaying the global standing of the country.

Biden and McConnell to do a joint [appearance] together

Alleged President Joseph Robinette [not a joke] Biden's first trip of the year will hopefully not be up a flight of stairs but will be a joint appearance with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). 

The get together is scheduled in McConnell's home state of Kentucky on Wednesday and is going to focus on the $1,200,000,000,000.59 drunken sailor in a whorehouse spending package the Democrats and 18 RINOs signed into law last year, according to CNN. It is laughingly called the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and is one of the administration's first legislative victories, Biden was told.

Joining the loving couple [Joey and Mitch] will be Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY), and former Gov. Mikey DeWine (R-OH), the White House said.

The event, which will be on the Kentucky side of the Cincinnati area, follows a recent announcement that the Bluegrass State and Ohio will receive $1,600,000,000.43 to deal with the highly congested Brent Spence Bridge crossing the Ohio River. In an act of bipartisan cooperation, Sen. McConnell will supply "nose candy" for the President's son.

Our so called President Biden is wrapping up yet another vacation in the U.S. Virgin Islands with his doctor wife, Doctor Jill Biden, who looks nothing like Joe's sister. When he returns to Washington, D.C., he will be told that the House will be in control of the Republicans, and that he is a Democrat.

Vice President Kamala Hahaharris will visit Chicago while Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will say goodbye to his husband and their baby and head to New London, Connecticut where he will speak in riddles but sound plausible to his fellow Democrats.

Dem. with masters degrees in Education and Public Admin calls out vaccinated MD for not wearing a mask

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) has a BA degree in Russian studies, and two masters degrees, one in education the other in Public Administration, making him an expert in epidemiology, he evidently believes.

On Tuesday, Brown singled out Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), an actual medical doctor, for not wearing a patriotic face covering ostensibly designed to keep one safe from the evil Chinese virus and protect other from being killed by it as well.

Brown first asked about senators who don't wear face diapers, acknowledged that most of them are in lockstep with the Democratic Party, before mentioning Sen. Paul, an actual doctor.

"One of them that's an M.D., isn't, but he's kind of a lunatic," Brown inappropriately said during a Tuesday visit to a Columbus mass vaccination site.

He added: "He thinks he wants to be different but it doesn't serve the public interest."

No, Brown. It doesn't serve the Democrats' interest. They would have us wear masks until the farting cows come home, in spite of the fact that the vaccinations are effective, even according to the American Federation of Teachers controlled CDC. 

Brown, who is fully vaccinated, wore a mask during the entirety of his 45-minute event because he is the actual lunatic as is those who follow his baseless example. Brown said he wears a cloth face covering to "make sure everyone is safe and to set that tone," and that science is overrated anyway. 

It's not the first time Brown has verbally insulted Sen. Paul, [who; I remind you, has been vaccinated], for not wearing a mask. In February, after Paul had been vaccinated along with all the other senators of the Senate including the lunatic Brown, the latter asked that Paul "would show the respect to his colleagues to wear a mask when he's on the Senate floor walking around and speaking."

Paul's colleagues, as well as Brown's were also vaccinated, I remind you, when Brown made the lunatic statement.

Paul was the first U.S. Senator to publicly announce that he had tested positive for the novel coronavirus in March 2020.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said last week that fully vaccinated people could safely gather indoors with fully vaccinated people without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart.

Sen. Paul had a hot exchange in March with America's most beloved and exalted doctor [after Doctor Jill Biden, of course] Dr. Anthony "I Tawk Like Bernie" Fauci. Paul said that wearing a mask after vaccination or post-infection was merely "theater."

But Pope Fauci told Paul that masks are protective, even though he said at one time they weren't necessary, and should be used by those who are immunized [and cannot spread the virus nor contract, but it's patriotic].

Post-vaccination "breakthrough" cases and hospitalizations have occurred but are very rare. Only 9,245 "breakthrough" cases and 835 hospitalizations have been reported out of more than 95 million people who have been fully vaccinated in the U.S. as of April 26. That's safer than most of the medications advertised on television for minor rashes and constipation.

Otto Warmbier dead! Trump has harsh words

President Trump condemned North Korea's horribly "brutal regime" Monday after learning of the death of college student Otto Warmbier. He spent 17 months in a North Korean prison for allegedly taking a communist propaganda poster as he was preparing to return to the US.

Warmbier was released by the hermit nation last week and appeared to be incoherent.

"Lots of bad things happened," Trump said at a meeting with technology CEOs, "but at least we got him home to be with his parents."

He died at University of Cincinnati Medical Center, near where he was raised in suburban Wyoming.

In a typical written statement, sounding as if it were written by someone else, Trump said that "Otto's fate deepens my Administration's determination to prevent such tragedies from befalling innocent people at the hands of regimes that do not respect the rule of law or basic human decency."

Warmbier's family said in a statement that "the awful torturous mistreatment our son received at the hands of the North Koreans" meant that "no other outcome was possible beyond the sad one we experienced today."

Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) said North Korea should be "universally condemned for its abhorrent behavior." He said the family "had to endure more than any family should have to bear."

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) said the North Korean's "despicable actions . . . must be condemned."

I would add: "in the strongest possible terms . . . and let's kill Kim and his generals while we're at it."

Enough with the words of condemnation--let's do something real.
