Today in Fascism

1) Talks tough in a hushed/whispering voice at times..as if she's tough and scary. LMAO
2) Same thing. She seems a bit more crazy.
3) This one can't even keep herself from nearly crying and almost starting to sob. And I'm supposed to be scared?!

1 & 3 strike me as the type to either run, cower, or start crying as soon as they FAFO with the wrong person. 2 might take a little
more work but she's also another chest-pounder.

Single with nothing but a house full of cats.
There’s so much more of it out there that I didn’t post - that and candidates who are on the side of “saving democracy” who are promising to jail and execute both political opponents and simply people working jobs they don’t agree with. It’s fucking crazy.
 
A great song with amazing words. Dark to Light. Exposure of the shadows. Now we see it all!! Du Du & espola are 100% exposed!!!

 
The appeal of authoritarianism explained

To some people, feeling safe is the most important thing. It is more important than freedom, it is more important than 'rights'. I came to understand this many years ago when I had a conversation with a conservative. We were visiting a zoo, and I told her that I actually hated zoos. She asked me why, and I told her that it seemed wrong to lock these animals away for life just so we could walk around and look at them. She then said that if they were in the wild, they would die earlier; being in the zoo prolonged their lives. I told her that I understood that, but I'm sure that to them their freedom would be worth it. I asked her how she would feel if she was locked up and had no freedom. She told me that being safe and alive was more important than being free. I believe that this is where we are now, people are frightened and they decided that their safety was worth whatever they had to give up to have it.

I came to understand this when the Dems were eager to shut schools and biz because they wanted to feel safe from covid. That despite evidence that covid only affected a rather small and easily identifiable portion of the population.
 
Man I should have been a politician.

After Benny
@bennyjohnson
went digging on Illan Omar, I went digging a little bit on "the squad".

Rashida Tlaib is a broke ass mf'r btw.

However, Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) has some interesting things going on.

Her husband is pulling in $1M/yr from "government funded" sources.

So I dug through her congressional financial disclosures and used AI to break some things down.

Let's go.

THE NUMBERS:* 2018 net worth: -$12,500 (per OpenSecrets)* 2024 net worth: ~$8,000,000

That's an $8 MILLION increase in 6 years on a $174K congressional salary.

How'd that happen?

THE TIMELINE:*

Jan 3, 2019: Pressley sworn into Congress*
Jan 8, 2019: Her husband Conan Harris resigns from his $92,500/year Boston City Hall job*
Jan 15, 2019: He registers "Conan Harris & Associates" - a DEI consulting firm* Wayback Machine confirms http://conanharrisassociates.com went live in 2019.
What a wild couple of weeks, eh?

THE CONSULTING GRIFT:
Per her financial disclosures, his firm's income:*
2021: ~$300,000*
2024: $100,001 - $1,000,000
That's a MILLION dollars a year from a consulting firm launched the week his wife entered Congress.

THE CLIENTS:
His client list reads like a government funding directory:*
City of Bridgeport,
CT (municipal govt)*
City of Framingham (municipal govt)*
MassHousing (state housing finance agency)*
Meet Boston (tourism bureau, receives public funding)*
The Boston Foundation*
Justice Resource Institute (social services nonprofit)*
Obama Foundation

Pattern: DEI consulting for entities that either ARE government or depend heavily on government grants.

THE CONFLICT:
Pressley sits on:*
House Financial Services Committee (MassHousing = housing finance)*
House Oversight & Government Reform (government contracting)

Her husband's firm gets paid by government entities and nonprofits dependent on government funding - in policy areas her committees oversee.

THE ETHICS WARNING:*
The Boston Globe reported in Feb 2019 that before leaving City Hall, Harris used his government email to pitch staying on as a $50K/year consultant.*

State ethics laws bar using official resources for personal gain.*
An ethics expert warned they'd need to "be mindful to avoid any potential ethical and political pitfalls."

REAL ESTATE:
Her 2024 disclosure shows spouse-owned assets:*
Martha's Vineyard rental: $1,000,001 - $5,000,000*
Boston rental #1: $500,001 - $1,000,000*
Boston rental #2: $500,001 - $1,000,000*
Boston rental #3: $250,001 - $500,000*
Fort Lauderdale rental (sold 2024): $250,001 - $500,000
Total real estate: $8M

Remember, in 2019 they had ONE rental property and were underwater on it.
THE BACKGROUND:*
Before his city job and consulting gig, Conan Harris spent 10 years in federal prison for drug trafficking.*
He went from dealing drugs → city job (while his wife was on City Council) → million-dollar consulting firm the week she entered Congress.

BOTTOM LINE:*
Net worth in 2018: negative*
Net worth in 2024: $8 million

The day his wife became a Congresswoman, Conan Harris quit his city job and launched a consulting firm that now pulls up to seven figures annually from government-funded clients.
She sits on committees overseeing housing and government contracting.
He consults for housing agencies and government-funded nonprofits.

The swamp doing swamp things.

This is a transparent ruse to justify centralized government control - think CCP - without saying it out loud. It’s why the MSM puts out a constant din of “end of the world” type messages - to make people feel unsafe.

I have a much better solution. All those desiring more safety, immigrate to the CCP controlled China.
