Lincoln Project, Co-Founded by ‘Predator’ John Weaver, Funded ‘Bloodbath’ Hoaxsters MeidasTouch.

MeidasTouch Network, the news outlet responsible for the “bloodbath” hoax, took tens of thousands of dollars from the controversial Lincoln Project group when it was still establishing itself.

The White House-linked network received $42,000 from the Lincoln Project, a supposedly conservative organization, in 2021-22, when it was still a Democrat PAC.

The Lincoln Project was founded in 2019 by John Weaver, who worked on the presidential campaigns of John McCain and John Kasich. It styled itself as a torchbearer of traditional Republicanism, opposed to Donald Trump and his America First agenda.

It was soon mired in scandal, however, after over 20 young males, including a 14-year-old, came forward to accuse Weaver of sexually harassing or grooming them.

The Lincoln Project would eventually acknowledge its co-founder, a married man, was “a predator, a liar, and an abuser.”

Weaver also signed a $350,000 contract with Rosatom, the Russian state-owned nuclear energy corporation, to lobby against sanctions in the same year he founded the Lincoln Project.

He backed out of the contract only after reports emerged he had registered as a Foreign Agent — but the episode has not stopped the Lincoln Project from repeatedly accusing Trump of being a Russian asset.

DID YOU KNOW? Biden’s Campaign Manager is Grandkid of Militant Maoist Cesar Chavez.

Joe Biden’s campaign manager, Julie Chávez Rodríguez, is the granddaughter of radical leftist organizer Cesar Chavez, whose bust was installed in the Oval Office by Joe Biden after he threw out the Winston Churchill bust restored by Donald Trump.

Chávez Rodríguez has boasted she was “exposed to social justice issues” by her grandfather from the age of five, “participating in marches, picket lines, and community meetings, as well as other activities and organizing campaigns.”

She helped lead the Cesar E. Chavez E. Foundation after his death — collaborating with the now-defunct Mobilize the Immigrant Vote campaign — while her father, Arturo Chavez, took over Chavez’s United Farm Workers (UFW) union.

As head of the UFW, Chavez styled himself as a “community organizer” rather than a labor leader, governing in an authoritarian style. He drew inspiration on wielding power effectively from Niccolò Machiavelli, Adolf Hitler, and especially Mao Zedong, even quoting the Chinese dictator at meetings.

There was an ethno-nationalist flavor to his activism, too, with non-Mexican farm workers feeling the UFW favored Mexicans over them, and that Chavez’s Mexican identity was more important to him than the union.

‘I GOT TO BE THE KING.’ 

Chavez also orchestrated purges in which even his close friends and associates found themselves ritually humiliated and driven from his organization. He once declared: “I got to be the … king, or I’ll leave.”

In later life, Chavez took on messianic delusions, having himself become enthralled with the cult leader Charles Dederich. He built a close relationship with the Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos in the 1970s, saying he was impressed by the effects of martial law in the Philippines and accepting an award from the despot.

Nevertheless, Chavez received a posthumous Medal of Freedom from Bill Clinton in 1994.

One difference with his granddaughter was his opposition to illegal immigration, which he regarded as a means of strike-breaking.

While Chávez Rodríguez has championed DACA and other policies tending to encourage mass migration, her grandfather had his members effectively picket the southern border to prevent crossings, sometimes resulting in violent scenes.

Cartoon Network Promotes ‘Transgender Day of Visibility.’

Cartoon Network, which airs animated content primarily aimed at children and young viewers, celebrated the “Transgender Day of Visibility” — which coincided with Easter Sunday this year — on an Instagram post.

Along with a series of colorful, child-friendly images featuring pro-trans slogans, the Warner Bros.-owned network wrote “Affirmations for our trans and gender non-conforming family. You are valid, just as you are 💖🏳️‍⚧️ #TransgenderDayofVisbility.” The network also implied that opposition to promoting transgenderism is “hate,” commenting: “We’re not doing hate today. Be kind or be blocked.”

Cartoon Network’s persistent promotion of transgender and gender non-conforming themes has been evident in its programming. Last year, the “We Baby Bears” animated series introduced “non-binary” characters that used “they/them” pronouns. During last year’s “Transgender Day of Visibility,” the network promoted “preferred pronouns.”

The Biden regime caused controversy this week when it promoted the “Transgender Day of Visibility” on Easter Sunday, the holiest day in the Christian calendar. Transgender ideology is explicitly at odds with Christian teachings, and many viewed the Biden government’s support for the “Transgender Day” observance as a direct and intentional insult to Christians, especially in light of the fact it had banned Christian symbols at its annual Easter egg hunt.

NY Judge: Opposing Lawfare Against Trump Is Racist.

A New York federal judge has declared that the New York Fire Department (FDNY) members who booed and chanted “Trump” during a speech by the state’s Attorney General Letitia James in early March were motivated by racial animosity and not politics. The accusation of racism, leveled by U.S. District Court Judge Nicholas Garaufis, came during a recent status conference regarding the FDNY’s settlement with the Vulcan Society — a fraternal organization of Black firefighters.

“Get the EEO [Equal Employment Opportunity] office straightened out. Take some of your brilliant lawyers from the Corporation Counsel and put them in there and start holding hearings. That’s not a request, that’s a direction,” Garaufis ordered while addressing FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh. He continued: “I’ve lived in New York City all my life. I know what the problem is. And believe me, front and center is what happened the other day. This doesn’t have to do with politics, this has to do with race.”

An earlier complaint by Vulcan Society President Regina Wilson before the court prompted the judge’s accusations of racism. “I don’t know if you had an opportunity to just see the vile nature of these members even when we were at Christian Cultural Center where they started booing and saying ‘Trump, Trump Trump,’ while Letitia James was at the podium,” she said, drawing Judge Garaufis’s attention to the pro-Trump protest. Wilson, like Garaufis, went on explicitly tie support for Trump with racism: “This behavior is who this department is. Not all of them, but a large portion of them. So when Black people go to work and have to deal with this and you don’t get any help or support really from the department, it’s horrific.”

On March 7, a group of New York firefighters protested a speech by Letitia James during an FDNY awards ceremony. They chanted “Trump” repeatedly as the Attorney General attempted to speak — voicing their displeasure with the ongoing lawfare campaign her office has waged against former President Donald Trump. Following the protest, the FDNY launched an internal investigation to identify the political hecklers.

Biden Approves $380M in Border Security Funding – for Middle Eastern Nations.

The $1.2 trillion spending bill recently signed into law by Joe Biden includes $380 million to strengthen border controls — not in the United States but in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman.

This funding for foreign countries’ border security, which has become a regular fixture in recent omnibus budgets, has ruffled feathers among Republicans, given the crisis at the U.S. southern border.

This discrepancy was highlighted by Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) in 2022. He complained the Democrats were “doing border security in foreign countries, [while] impeding border security in our country.”

However, with Scalise as the House majority leader this year, the same policies are still advancing.

While the spending bill secured bipartisan approval, preventing a government shutdown, it saw substantial opposition from conservatives. Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), Speaker of the House, faced a motion filed against him by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), accusing him of betraying the faith of the House GOP Conference by allowing the legislation.

REVEALED: Soros Propaganda Network Founder Has Visited Biden White House 20+ Times.

Tara McGowan, founder of Courier Newsroom and its parent company Good Information Inc., has made almost 20 visits to Joe Biden’s White House, according to visitor logs. The apparent closeness of McGowan to the ruling regime poses questions about her companies’ claimed independence, considering their openly left-leaning editorial position.

McGowan’s news enterprise has received huge sums of money from leftist plutocrat George Soros. It also boasts significant relationships with key figures in the White House. These include Jordan Finkelstein, Chief of Staff to a senior Biden adviser; Patrick Stevenson, Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor for Digital Strategy; and Madeline Strasser and Nina Srivastava, linked to former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain.

Her meetings with these Biden officials raise questions about potential coordination between her media entities and the White House. McGowan and Stevenson, in particular, both focus on online engagement.

McGowan’s White House access seems likely to have facilitated an exclusive interview with Biden for Courier Newsroom.

AGITPROP.

McGowan previously worked for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s election campaigns, and her site initiated a seven-figure ad campaign promoting Democrat politicians during the 2020 elections.

She also runs a progressive political organization named Acronym, which raised $100 million from the likes of Steven Spielberg, Laurene Powell Jobs, and Jeffrey Katzenberg, used to fund leftist political ad campaigns.

The predecessor to Courier Newsroom — The Dogwood — packaged partisan propaganda as if it was straight news, and was intended “to support the flipping of both State House and State Senate chambers in Virginia,” according to an internal memo.

Biden’s White House has been known to collaborate with other leftist news organizations, such the MeidasTouch Network, which created the “bloodbath” hoax.

White House strategist and communications chief Anita Dunn even praised MeidasTouch as the “front lines” of the anti-Trump campaign online.

AOC’s District Goes ‘Third World.’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district in New York City has become a haven for open-air prostitution and stolen goods thanks to the Democrat policies — particularly illegal immigration — that she advocates for.

Zoom out: AOC represents New York’s 14th District, which spans areas in both Queens and the Bronx.

The details: The Northwestern Queens neighborhoods of Corona, Jackson Heights, and Elmhurst — once vibrant communities — are being described by locals as “third world” as videos of lawlessness have gone viral.

Illegal flea markets: Local resident Ramses Frias [a Democrat-turned-Republican running for state Assembly] filmed endless blocks of illegals selling clothes, food, toys, and other items on the street. Frias and his neighbors see this as “a third-world market” and explain that the items being sold are “stolen from donation bins or stolen from stores.”

Prostitution: Corona’s main street has become known as the “market of sweethearts” because the streets are lined with women soliciting men for sex out in the open during the day, even as families with strollers walk by.

  • The prostitutes reportedly recruit local children to hand out their X-rated business cards.
  • NYC Mayor Eric Adams blamed the rise in prostitution on an influx of illegal alien women from Venezuela.

The law:In New York, it is illegal to sell food or goods in public spaces without a permit. And prostitution is illegal.

What is AOC saying? She blamed the lawlessness on Republicans, saying the illegals have to resort to criminal behavior because they’re unable to work legally.

NIGHTMARE: Ballot Measures On Abortion Rights and Weed Green Lit in Sunshine State.

The Florida Supreme Court issued two rulings on Monday approving ballot measures that could broaden abortion rights and legalize the recreational use of marijuana in the state. Florida’s Republican Attorney General, Ashley Moody, asked the state’s high court to review both measures late last year — arguing that the language was too vague and could confuse voters. Under Florida law, the state Supreme Court reviews all ballot measures for clarity prior to an election.

In a 39-page brief filed in November, Moody contended that the abortion rights ballot measure should be kept off of the 2024 ballot as it misleads voters regarding just how expansive the proposed abortion rights would be. “The ballot summary here is part of a … design to lay ticking time bombs that will enable abortion proponents later to argue that the amendment has a much broader meaning than voters would ever have thought,” Moody argued in her court filing. If the measure is adopted by Florida voters, abortion in the state would remain legal up to fetal viability — the definition of ‘viability’ being the cause of the Attorney General’s concern.

At the same time, the Florida Supreme Court reaffirmed the ban on abortions beyond 15 weeks that Governor Ron DeSantis instituted in April 2022. DeSantis also enacted a six-week ban in the wake of the 15-week ban, structured to begin a month following court approval of the 15-week ban. Given Monday’s ruling, the six-week ban could start being enforced in May.

In addition to the abortion ballot question, the court also approved a separate measure asking voters if they want to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in the state. The ballot measure would legalize the possession of marijuana for personal use and allow the sale to residents over the age of 21.

MeidasTouch Founder Worked for Diddy, Who Helped Him Into Hillary Clinton’s Office.

Ben Meiselas, one of the three Meiselas brothers who founded the White House-linked MeidasTouch Network responsible for the “bloodbath” hoax among others, started his career by interning for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the hip hop mogul now under investigation for allegedly running a Jeffrey Epstein-style sex trafficking operation.

Combs, also known as ‘Puff Daddy’ and ‘P. Diddy’, is a longtime client of the Meiselas brothers’ father, Kenny Meiselas, a celebrity attorney who has also represented the likes of Lady Gaga, Lizzo, and Nicki Minaj.

Through this nepotistic connection, Ben Meiselas gained an internship at Combs’s Bad Boy Records, though he claimed in a 2018 interview that he “started at the bottom.”

“I was the first one to get in every morning, and he would send me on every possible errand. I’d be helping his assistants get ready for an event and I’d hear things like ‘That’s not the Diddy spoon!’” Meiselas said, adding that the experience taught him “to be a perfectionist and gave me insight into leadership.”

The internship with Combs, who attended Meiselas’s bar mitzvah, ultimately gave Meiselas his “entrée into politics,” according to Variety.

“In 2004 Puff led the ‘Vote or Die’ [voter-registration and awareness] campaign at MTV, and my role morphed from intern-gopher to working with his team on those events,” Meiselas explained. “I attended the Democratic convention that year, and through it all I developed a real love for politics.”

Meiselas went on to intern for then-Senator Hillary Clinton.

‘No One Saw It Coming’ — D.C. Laments ‘Ultimate Winner’ Trump & His Truth Social Windfall.

TruthSocial, the social media platform launched by former President Donald Trump, went public last week, sending waves through the stock market as its value soared, poising Trump to reap a potential $5 billion windfall. What the anti-Trump establishment has missed, however, is that the stock is more than just an investment for supporters of the former President — pumping its value is also a political statement.

“It’s mainly to support Trump and his legal battles. Or making a statement,” said Teri Lynn Roberson in a recent interview. Roberson, a Trump supporter from Dallas, Texas, explained: “It’s more just to show that people are supporting him.” As the 2024 presidential election kicks into full swing, former President Trump could cash in a portion of his shares for hundreds of millions of dollars to fuel his campaign war chest.

The potential for Trump to harness TruthSocial as a source of campaign dollars is something the Washington, D.C. political elite hadn’t previously considered. “Almost no one saw it coming,” declared The Wall Street Journal. Corporate media talking heads derided the company and its investors when TruthSocial went public last Tuesday. Jessica Tarlov, a Democrat strategist, sarcastically declared during an appearance on Fox News’s The Five, “Donald Trump gets really lucky.”

Former New York Assistant Attorney General Adam Pollock told CNN that the value of TruthSocial “is essentially worthless.” The Late Show host Stephen Colbert dedicated his opening monologue to Trump’s massive windfall. “Why do good things ever happen to Donald Trump,” Colbert pondered before concluding: “He made over $4 billion misspelling things on the toilet!”

However, the political value of TruthSocial hasn’t been lost on everyone. Matt Simpson, managing partner at Wealthspring Capital, told The Wall Street Journal that “[Trump’s] the ultimate winner, at least on paper.”
