Tuesday shorties AMENDED

I know you will be shocked – SHOCKED – to learn to the following. Please try to control yourselves.

Americans for Public Trust released a detailed, 31-page report with receipts tracking money from foreign charities to U.S. groups. It notes that while contributing directly to political candidates is not permitted under federal law, election-related activities like “get-out-and-vote” campaigns, some lobbying efforts, issue advertising and other politically-charged activities, are in play for foreign dollars.

About two billion of those dollars, as a matter of fact.

“There’s not a question about where it’s going and where it is coming from,” Americans for Public Trust executive director Caitlin Sutherland told Fox News Digital. “We know that it’s foreign money coming into our U.S. policy fights, climate litigation, research, protests, lobbying, you name it.”

Climate change, protests… something tells me they aren’t trying to buy Republicans?

The groups that contributed to the near $2 billion in foreign money include the Quadrature Climate Foundation (U.K.), the KR Foundation (Denmark), the Oak Foundation (Switzerland), the Laudes Foundation (Switzerland/Netherlands), and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (U.K.).

The most sizable, the Quadrature Climate Foundation, has awarded roughly $520 million to 41 U.S. groups since 2020, according to the report.

“The most surprising place that the foreign money has ended up is into a group called the Environmental Law Institute [ELI],” Sutherland explained to Fox News Digital. “They are well known for running a group called the Climate Judiciary Project. They work to educate judges on climate litigation.” Fox News

Two billion on teaching judges how to get their minds right.

Remember the infamous AF self discharge that killed an airman, and froze SIG purchases? Little update on that.

The airman who accidentally shot and killed another at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming, in July told two colleagues to lie about what happened, they said during their court-martials this week.

Airman 1st Class Sarbjot Badesha and Airman 1st Class Matthew Rodriguez both pleaded guilty to making false statements about the death of Airman Brayden Lovan on July 20.

According to the two guilty pleas, White-Allen quickly told the men to use a story he had concocted, even while emergency responders were coming to help Lovan. He told Badesha “Here’s the story. Tell them that I slammed my duty belt on the desk, and it went off.” Meanwhile, Rodriguez said that White-Allen instructed him to tell emergency personnel coming to help Lovan that White-Allen’s “holster went off.”

As a result of the court-martial, Badesha was sentenced to 30 days in confinement and forfeiture of $1,545. He was demoted to E-1. Rodriguez got 10 days of confinement plus 15 days of restriction to base. He was ordered to forfeit $500 and was demoted to E-2.  Task and Purpose

Lying during an investigation of a death – they’re lucky they didn’t get a protracted stay in eastern Kansas. Gets real chilly there in winter. Wonder if SIG will hit them with a civil suit when they get out?

Update – there was an airman, A1C Marcus White-Allen found dead in his dorm October 8  at F.E. Warren AFB – it is now said he is the one who originally killed Lovan and got the other two to lie about it. So playing around has now cost two airmen their lives. Military.com

My heart goes out to their parents; there is no good way to lose a son but this is very sad as it was so preventable. Guns aren’t toys.

And while we are looking at “no surprises here”, the Justice Department is now investigating Black Lives Matter.

Federal prosecutors are investigating whether senior leaders of the Black Lives Matter organization defrauded donors who contributed tens of millions of dollars during the 2020 protests, two sources familiar with the probe tell Fox News.

The Associated Press first reported that the Justice Department’s ongoing inquiry is focused on the foundation’s handling of donations collected in the wake of the George Floyd killing, when the group saw a surge of more than $90 million in contributions.

The probe is being led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California in Los Angeles, sources said.

According to The AP, the investigation began during the Biden administration but has received renewed attention under the Trump administration. The AP also reported that the inquiry extends to other Black-led advocacy groups that gained prominence during the 2020 nationwide demonstrations.  Fox News II

BLM leadership, meanwhile, claims to be as pure as the new-driven snow once was. Seems to me the scope of this is getting wider, isn’t it?

In closing, let’s talk about the Maryland Democrat State Senator  running for Mafia Don. Well, not really. But really close.

Dalya Attar, a Democrat from Baltimore, was charged with eight counts related to extortion, conspiracy and wiretapping on Thursday, Oct. 23, according to a newly unsealed federal indictment obtained by the Washington Post.

Seems a consultant who had worked with Alva was having an affair with a married man and managed to get herself (the consultant) recorded – in bed, in flagrante delicto.

The scheme allegedly included threatening to make the recordings of the couple in bed together public if the consultant spoke out against Attar’s 2022 re-election bid for the Maryland House of Delegates, the Baltimore Banner reported.

Joseph Attar, Dalva’s prother, sent the following to the ‘victim’:

“Here’s what I need you to do for this to go away permanently … So, the only thing you need to do is very simple, is to go to (Victim 1) and say to her, ‘Listen, leave Dalya alone. Don’t bring her up anymore to anyone. Stay out of this election, the delegate election,’ and make sure she doesn’t do anything against Dalya throughout this election … or I’ll share this video with everybody you know, everyone she knows, every rabbi in town, your kids, your wife, her daughters,” the alleged messages read, per the indictment. People

I read that Attar is the first Orthodox Jew female in the Maryland Senate. Another Democratic “first”, I guess.

I was hoping for more salacious details. Darn.
