AZ GOP Chairman Resigns After Kari Lake Bribery Recording.

Arizona Republican Party chairman Jeff DeWit resigned Wednesday following the release of an audio recording of his attempting to bribe Kari Lake to drop her bid for the U.S. Senate. In the recording, released Tuesday, DeWit informs Lake of financial benefits if she steps away from Arizona Republican politics for two years.  He also asks her if there is a dollar “number” for which she would end her Senate bid.

In his resignation letter, DeWit claimed Lake “selectively edited” the recording in a “deceptive” manner. He called the release of the audio a “betrayal of trust” and said he was merely “looking out for [Lake’s] financial interests.” According to DeWit, the conversation occurred while Lake worked for his company. He claims the recording and its release were “violation[s] of the fiduciary duties of an employee.”

DeWit said the secretly recorded conversation’s release was an “ethical breach” and “raises serious legal and moral concerns.” Arizona is a “one-party consent” state. Under state law, one may record a private conversation if they are party to and present for said discussion. It appears the recording and release of Lake’s conversation all fall perfectly within her rights under the law.

DeWit claims his resignation came only after being informed that additional recordings of his conversations with Lake existed. He claims he was told that the additional recordings would be released if he continued to remain in his role as GOP chairman.

The Democratic Socialists of America are Broke, In Debt, and Beginning Mass Layoffs.

Leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are admitting the far-left political organization is broke and running significant deficits — throwing the group’s future into question. DSA’s National Political Committee members acknowledged the group had seen a “decline in revenue, membership, and overall excitement” in an announcement to the organization’s Bread & Roses Caucus. Layoffs are being floated to solve the group’s fiscal situation.

$2 Million In The Hole.

Budget documents show the DSA is on track to incur $7 million in expenses for 2024, while the group only anticipates total revenue at $5 million. The organization’s Treasurer believes the group can buy itself another year to bring its books in order if it narrows its 2024 deficit to between $821,000 and $921,000. This still leaves a roughly $1.2 million gap that needs to be closed.

Layoffs Seen As The Only Way Out.

Taking a page from the corporate America playbook, the DSA is suggesting the organization adopts voluntary buy-outs for employees — beginning with non-union director-level staff but moving to unionized staff. Additionally, they say they believe the group should delay hiring a new executive director following the departure of Maria Svart.

Addressing concerns that laying off unionized staff runs counter to the DSA’s pro-union political stances, the leaders argue “the situation is more complicated for ‘movement staff’ — that is, staff for democratic membership organizations like unions, grassroots NGOs, and parties.” They contend that organizations governed by “members” have greater legitimacy in enacting layoffs over a business run by a singular CEO.

The DSA Is “Treading Water.”

The current political moment, the DSA leaders argue, should favor the far-left group. However, renewed labor strikes, the Israel-Palestinian conflict, and President Joe Biden’s cratering support among voters haven’t translated to success for the DSA. Instead, the DSA leaders argue the group has “been treading water” and claim “[w]orking people are inspired to transform the world, but they are doing it elsewhere.”

While left-leaning political populism might be in decline, populism continues to surge on the American political right — with some caveats. Even some unions allied with Democrats are waking up to the change, with the Teamsters Union having recently sat down with former President Trump to discuss a shared vision.

Pakistan Proves Mass Deportation is Possible as 500,000 Afghans Ejected in Just 4 Months.

Pakistan has removed half a million Afghans from its territory in just four months, with most of them self-deporting after the government in Islamabad threatened to arrest people without legal status en masse.

An estimated 1.7 million Afghans were living in Pakistan illegally before the authorities announced a November 1, 2023, deadline for illegals to leave or face arrest. Most of the Afghans who returned to their homeland did so before this deadline, but a steady stream of illegals who missed it are continuing to cross back.

“Since the initial peak around November 1, the number of individuals crossing these official border points have consistently decreased but remains higher than pre-September 15th,” said the United Nations Migration Agency, also known as the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

Other Afghans were flown to Western countries such as the United Kingdom. The British government was paying the hotel bills of thousands of Afghans in Pakistan but began chartering flights to bring them to Britain in response to the Pakistani deportation order.

The UN has complained returning Afghans to their home country puts them “at risk of persecution” by the Taliban, but Islamabad says the deportations are necessary for national security.

Afghanistan is often used as a staging ground for terror attacks on Pakistan, and Afghans often lack proper identification.

EU Border Chief Says ‘Nothing Can Stop’ Migrants – ‘No Wall, No Fence, No Sea, No River’.

Hans Leijtens, the recently appointed Executive Director of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency commonly known as Frontex — has proclaimed that borders don’t work, and that Europe should shift away from the “narrative” of “stopping people.”

“Nothing can stop people from crossing a border, no wall, no fence, no sea, no river,” said Leijtens, advocating for “more openness” towards migrants.

In reality, nations that have erected physical barriers have witnessed the almost total cessation of migrant invasions, including the United States under President Trump and Hungary under Viktor Orban.

Leijtens made the shocking comments during an interview with German newspaper Welt am Sonntag. The former Commander of the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, the Netherlands’ national gendarmerie force, Leijtens, has helmed Frontex since March 2023.

“This talk of ‘stopping people’ and ‘closing borders’ cannot be our narrative all the time. My job is to create a balance between effective border management and compliance with fundamental rights,” Leijtens told Die Welt.

The EU faces a massive migrant crisis, affecting nations across the bloc, including the UK, Ireland, and Italy. The crisis is driving an increasing number of Europeans to support populist and nationalist parties promising to tackle the crisis head-on, such as the Netherlands’ Party for Freedom (PVV), helmed by Geert Wilders, and Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD).

70% Haley Voters in New Hampshire Not Registered Republicans.

New Hampshire exit polling revealed that a significant percentage of voters who participated in the Republican primary in the Granite State were not Republicans, with the vast majority of non-Republican voters voting for Nikki ‘Nimarata’ Haley.

CNN exit polling found that approximately 70 percent of voters who supported Haley were not registered Republicans. Comparatively, 70 percent of voters for former President Donald Trump, who secured victory in the primary race after a record-setting win in the Iowa caucuses, were registered Republicans.

According to the same exit poll, 27 percent of Trump’s voters were registered as undeclared or independent, with only 3 percent unregistered before the vote. Only 27 percent of Haley’s voters were registered as Republicans.

NBC exit polling showed similar results, with Haley winning 60 percent of New Hampshire voters identifying as independent and 73 percent of those identifying as moderates.

Exit polling conducted by Edison Research found that just over half — 51 percent — of those who participated in the Republican primary in New Hampshire identified as Republicans — a 55 percent drop from 2016. Forty-three percent of those who participated in Tuesday’s primary identified as independents.

Feds Blow Through $20 BILLION for ‘Refugee Assistance’ in Just 2 Years.

Joe Biden’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) has blown through a whopping $20 billion in taxpayer dollars over the past two years. Overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the ORR is a program directed by the HSS subagency, the Administration for Children and Families.

A record number of illegal immigrants crossed the U.S. border in 2023 — with some estimates suggesting the Biden government knowingly released upwards of 100,000 illegals into the United States each month. The surge in crossings is reflected in Biden government appropriations, with refugee and entrant assistance costs rising from $8.925 billion in 2022 to $10.928 billion in 2023. Since Biden took office in January of 2021, it is believed over 10 million illegal immigrants have crossed into the U.S.

The ORR’s expanding budget has drawn additional scrutiny from watchdog groups. A dramatic upsurge in discretionary grant spending occurred between 2021 and 2023. In 2021 the ORR granted $33 million, but this figure rose to over $400 million in 2022 and escalated to over $600 million in 2023.

Concerns have been raised regarding potential conflicts of interest between ORR leadership and major grant recipients. ORR director Robin Dunn Marcos’s relationships with two nonprofit groups – among the agency’s top grantees – are attracting the interest of watchdogs and government ethics groups.

Before joining the ORR, Marcos spent twenty-three years with the International Rescue Committee‘s branch in Phoenix, Arizona, and four years with Church World Service. Both non-profits have received over $100 million in grant money from the ORR over the past decade.

Police Whistleblower Says ‘Massive’ Pedophile Ring Has Been Left at Large for 7 Years.

A whistleblower who served with Greater Manchester Police (GMP) in Britain says the force has left a “massive” pedophile ring at large for at least seven years. The same force oversaw the rise of the now-infamous Muslim rape gangs scandal in Rochdale, England.

The former officer, identified as ‘Lucy,’ was assigned to a major investigation in 2022, only to discover some of the suspects were involved in a 2018 case that was closed without resolution.

“A lot of the professional material such as children’s records, medical records, and school records had not been requested, had not been read, because, if they had, they would say that many of the children had reported multiple disclosures of sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, and psychological torture,” she revealed.

Lucy reopened the 2018 case. However, her investigations were under-resourced, and time to see victims regularly “just wasn’t made available to me.”

Lucy said if GMP investigators “were allowed to follow the lines of inquiry, I think they would find it was a massive, massive” pedophile ring — but promises to provide her with adequate resources were repeatedly broken.

“I thought, I can’t change anything. I can’t keep saying the same thing. It’s draining the life out of me,” Lucy said. She ultimately resigned from the force altogether, reporting the child protection unit was “not fit for purpose” and detailing her concerns — which were ignored.

“I don’t feel like we’re making things better for these kids. In fact, I think we’re making it worse,” Lucy said.

Her revelations follow the release of a report on Rochdale’s rape gangs. It found police left white girls “at the mercy” of Muslim groomers for years. GMP claims “lessons have been learned” from the scandal, but Lucy said the same issues are “still happening.”

“It’s appalling, the treatment these victims get,” she said.

Man Faces Prison for ‘Insulting Public Official,’ After Comparing Globalist Politician to Hitler.

A 52-year-old man has been arrested in Poland over graffiti comparing the country’s new globalist prime minister, Donald Tusk, to Adolf Hitler. He faces up to two years in prison for “insulting a public official.”

The unnamed man is alleged to have sprayed messages on a wall, saying “F**k Tusk,” “Tusk Little Hitler,” and “F**k PO and PSL” — acronyms for Tusk’s political party and one of its coalition partners.

The move is the latest in an authoritarian globalist crackdown by the incoming government, which has enjoyed the public support of the Biden regime and the European Union since coming into power in December 2023.

Tusk’s government has moved swiftly to undo the work of Law and Justice while it was in office. Lawmakers for the right-wing party have been jailed, and conservatives working for state media fired. The President of Poland, an ally of Law and Justice, has been bypassed throughout this process, and judges who have ruled the government’s unlawful actions have been ignored.

The Biden regime and the European Union supported Tusk’s actions.

Nikki Haley Donors Avoid Asbestos Payouts to American Workers.

Former employees of Georgia-Pacific, a paper and building products company owned by Koch Industries, along with their families and attorneys, are involved in a prolonged legal battle over claims that asbestos in workplace products led to fatal cancers. While Charles Koch – the CEO of Koch Industries – has been dodging the asbestos litigation, he’s been pouring millions into his political group, Americans for Prosperity (AFP), in support of Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley’s Republican presidential primary campaign.

AFP recently endorsed Haley, the former Governor of South Carolina, at the behest of its billionaire patron.  In South Carolina, the Koch-backed group has already spent $3 million in pro-Haley advertising. Koch himself has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump.

In the Georgia-Pacfic case, the workers argue the Koch-owned company has evaded paying millions in compensation through a controversial bankruptcy tactic known as the “Texas two-step.” This legal maneuver permits a corporation to split into two entities, shouldering lawsuit liabilities onto one company and assets onto another.

Throughout the legal proceedings, Georgia-Pacific has continued regular operations, with Koch Industries receiving over $5 billion in dividends since the asbestos liabilities shifted to the shell company Bestwall LCC. Koch earned $2.5 billion in dividends this year alone. Meanwhile, over 60,000 asbestos lawsuits lodged against Georgia-Pacific remain in a state of uncertainty.

The Chinese Communist Party-linked Jones Day law firm, led by attorney Greg Gordon, has conducted analogous splits for several significant companies facing similar lawsuits since 2017. These companies include Johnson & Johnson, Saint-Gobain, Trane Technologies, and Georgia-Pacific, with the latter being the first firm to utilize the tactic.
