Say It Isn’t So, Joe!

Just The News Exclusive;

The House Judiciary Committee said that it has uncovered new funding links between the Biden administration and left-wing groups that oppose the Israeli government, as well as groups with ties to terrorist organizations

A May 29 committee memorandum, which JNS obtained exclusively and which was addressed to committee members from the Republican-led committee staff, addresses “new information about the Biden-Harris administration helping to fund protests against the Netanyahu government.”

It alleges that U.S.-based organizations, including the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Tides Network, “provided over $5 million to groups that funded radical anti-Israel protests in the U.S. and Israel, and supported multiple terrorist-linked NGOs.”

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chairman of the committee, told JNS that the funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development, the State Department and other federal agencies raised questions about the misuse of federal dollars.

“You’re taking taxpayer money, you’re supposed to be doing good work,” the congressman said. “Why in the heck is it going to groups that are pro-Hamas?”

To oust Netanyahu and restore Hamas’ control of Gaza, that’s why Jim.

In one example, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA) “received millions of dollars in grants from the Biden-Harris Administration’s USAID, State Department and Department of Defense,” the committee memo says.

RPA then donated $557,000 to its “affiliate and partner,” the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF), per the memo.

RBF, in turn, has “donated $190,000 to Defense for Children International Palestine, an Israel-designated terrorist organization with ties to the U.S.-designated terrorist organization, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine,” according to the memo.

RBF has also made donations to Jewish Voice for Peace, one of the main organizers of anti-Israel demonstrations in the United States, and to Alliance for Global Justice, a U.S.-based non-profit that the committee alleges has provided funding to the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.

The Biden administration designated Samidoun as a front for the PFLP in 2024.

And that’s called money-laundering, Jim. You might all do something about that.

Margin Of Fraud

Mark Tapscott;

in the nearly four decades between Reagan’s junkyard dogs and the period covered by the 2024 GAO report, Washington officials really didn’t know how many federal tax dollars were actually lost every year. Even with the new estimate, officials conceded that gaps in available data across the government produced “challenges in producing fraud estimates, such as limited available fraud-related data and use of varying terms and definitions of fraud for recording data. These data gaps and variability result in information that cannot be readily compared or consolidated to determine the extent of fraud across the federal government.”

It’s now 2026, and they still don’t know for sure, but one thing has become all but certain: Far more of the federal government’s $7 trillion in annual spending than previously estimated is lost every year to professional criminal fraudsters, undeserving and even dead benefit recipients, over-priced procurement contracts, unjustified reimbursements, and numerous other ways.

That realization is driven by the results of the unprecedented efforts starting in January 2025 of President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, House Committee on Oversight and Government Affairs Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, and others on Capitol Hill to go after waste, fraud, and abuse on a scale never before attempted and with weapons too long ignored.

Veteran federal spending analyst Cato Institute Director of Budget and Entitlement Policy Romina Boccia summarizes the state of play.

A system that enables the theft of billions would never be used for the theft of elections.

Update: Russ Vought at OMB has just overhauled $1 TRILLION in federal grants by adding: Strict E-Verify requirements, English-language rules, and political appointee oversight to ensure taxpayer dollars go to American citizens first.

An Organized Crime Racket With A Tax Base

Remember last week when Gretchen Whitmer’s best friend was indicted on 16 felony charges for allegedly stealing $20 million from the state??

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer approved a $20 million grant benefiting one of her campaign donors, and a prominent businessman tied to the project told the House speaker there will be “no negotiations” about it, according to a text message released Wednesday in court records.

That revelation, along with others about the Whitmer administration’s handling of the 2022 state taxpayer funding awarded to Fay Beydoun’s Global Link International, came in a 41-page affidavit from Kyle Kolka, a special agent in Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office.

Nessel’s team is bringing 16 criminal charges against Beydon for misusing the $20 million grant that was meant to establish a business accelerator, according to the court records released Wednesday.

Virginia Supreme Court Strikes Down Gerrymander.

Democrats nationwide had been celebrating the hastily and unfairly passed redistricting, which they expected would take the state’s representation in the U.S. House from six Democrats and five Republicans to 10 Democrats and just one Republican.

Instead, that’s four fewer House seats that the Democrats had been counting on netting in the midterm elections, and there’s your good news for the day!

Democrats spent over $80 million on the Virginia referendum.

Last Week: The Supreme Court just triggered a second wave of the redistricting wars — and Republicans are on the march.

Insurrection!

Is Our Diversities Learing?

Daily Mail;

Jay Swanson, a former state trooper who ran a fraud investigations unit within Minnesota’s Department of Human Services (DHS) from 2014 to 2018, delivered the bombshell testimony on Tuesday.

His revelations came on the same day that federal agents raided more than 20 businesses as part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on fraud in Minneapolis.

Swanson told the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee that the state ‘tried to cover up fraud allegations’ years before Governor Tim Walz was accused of shutting the investigations down.. […]

He said when his team reported this finding, they were ‘harassed and bullied’ by officials.

‘I soon had a senior DHS official in my office, angry, red-faced, and almost yelling. The senior DHS official told me to delete a number of paragraphs of the document. I then advised this official that I believed what they were telling me to do was illegal,’ Swanson testified.

‘I can’t tell you how shocked we were to come to the Department of Human Services and learn after a few years that not only was the theft of untold millions of dollars tolerated, but those who tried to stop it would be subjected to the wrath of high-ranking department officials.’
