When it comes to rape they do a better job than Weinstein

#MeToo movement spent less than 10% of donated money on sexual harassment survivors, most on salaries

(Took their cue from the Clinton Foundation)

BTW...Bill has some 'expertise' when it comes to rape too. 

Tax filings of Times Up organization shows it spent $1.4 million on salaries, and 157K on conferences at luxury resorts

The #MeToo movement rocked the world in 2017. It began with many celebrities calling out Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein for sexual harassment, and turned into a movement where people across the globe shared their horrors of molestation, and inappropriate behaviour. The organisation Times Up was set up to fight sexual harassment in the workplace. However, records show that the organization spent a bulk of its donations on executive salaries, and only a fraction on legal costs to help victims in its first year.

Tax filings show that the organization, which was founded by Hollywood celebrities and consists of Time's Up Foundation and Time's Up Now Inc., raised $3,670,219 in 2018 in its first year of operation. Less than 10% was spent on helping survivors of sexual harassment. Filings show $312,001 was spent on the legal defense fund while $1,407,032 was spent on salaries. More than $157,000 was spent on conferences at luxury resorts, and a further $58,395 was spent on travel. The organization had brought in the elite Hollywood stars during the early days of its operation with Reese Witherspoon, Amy Schumer and Brie Larson holding positions on its board. 

The tax filings detail the mission of Time's Up Now as being "to promote safe, fair and dignified work for women of all kinds. We work to make sure that women are free from harassment and other forms of discrimination on the job, have equal opportunity for economic security and can achieve the highest positions of power wherever they work."

Instead, excessive amounts were spent on salaries instead of legal support. Lisa Borders was recruited to head Time's Up, but remained at the organization for only four months, after her 36-year-old son was accused of sexual misconduct. Yet, the CEO managed to pull in $342,308 for her salary. The chief marketing officer, Rachel Terrace, drew a salary of $295,000 for her efforts during the organization's first year. Treasurer Rebecca Goldman drew a salary of $255,327. 

Tax filings mentions how "3,000 individuals" were helped by the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund between January and June 2018 at a cost of $1,747,635.

Sadly, most of the defense fund money emerged from grants that had been made to the Women's Law Center, according to the New York Post.

Only a small percentage came from the Time's Up organizations with the Time's Up Foundation donating $132,575 to the fund and Time's Up Now, handing over $179,426. $157,155 was spent on conferences, which were "designed to build community and spark critical conversations about gender equity."

The conferences included a stay at a luxury resort and spa in Ojai in June 2018, where a room costs 400 dollars a night. According to an attendee who spoke to the New York Post, the conference was unable to decide what the organization's mission was. It was changed from 'Let's Clean Up Hollywood' to 'Let's Help All Workers'. The tax filings also show that $288,007 was spent on advertising, and $940,328 on legal costs.

California church stabbing suspect had been deported three times, officials say

Lost count of how many times I posted a story similar to this over the last 13 years.

This is the fault of sanctuary cities. How much longer are the (sane) citizens of these cities going to take the 'we love our illegals' bullshit? How many more Americans have to die? The left values illegals more than the lives of its own citizens! Can't the average American see that? 

To bring this to a screeching halt pass legislation allowing surviving family members to sue the government officials who allow this to persist! 

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/26/us/kathryn-steinle-killed.html

Think about it? They would rather release a dangerous illegal criminal back into society than turn them over to ICE. This is nuts. 

The list of dead grows by the day. Shot, stabbed, or DWI. Totally senseless when they could have easily been turned over to ICE.

Fernando De Jesus Lopez-Garcia has an extensive criminal history that includes domestic violence convictions and assault with a deadly weapon

Biden administration will ‘release, protect, and reward’ illegal immigrants: Acting CPB Commissioner

A homeless man accused of fatally stabbing two people inside a California church over the weekend was deported three times and never turned over to federal immigration officials before the attack, despite multiple arrests and convictions for violent crimes, authorities said Wednesday. 

On Sunday, Fernando De Jesus Lopez-Garcia, 32, allegedly stabbed five people inside the Grace Baptist Church in San Jose. A man died at the scene and a woman later died at a hospital, San Jose Police Chief Edgardo Garcia said Wednesday during a news conference. 

The lack of cooperation between local police and federal immigration agents because of California's sanctuary policies was criticized by a high ranking federal agent who said the attack could have been avoided.

"Regrettably, politics continues to prevail over public safety, the detainers were ignored, and De Jesus Lopez-Garcia was released to the street," said David Jennings, San Francisco ICE Enforcement Removal Operations field office director. 

Lopez-Garcia is charged with two murder counts, three counts of attempted murder, battery on a spouse or cohabitant and violating a protective order. 

"On three prior occasions, Lopez had been deported and then ultimately returned to the United States," Garcia, the police chief, said. 

COPS BLAST CALIFORNIA SANCTUARY CITY POLICIES AFTER PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ARRESTED FOR MURDER

The church frequently provided shelter and meals to homeless people in the area, officials said. Lopez-Garcia had utilized its services in the past and sometimes worked with church staff to set up services, officials said. 

Four of the stabbing victims were homeless and another was a city employee and volunteer working at the church. The names of the victims will not be released, the police chief said. 

Lopez-Garcia's criminal history includes convictions for disturbing the peace, giving false information to police, resisting arrest and assault with a deadly weapon, which resulted in a two-year prison sentence. 

At the time of the stabbing, he had a pending misdemeanor domestic violence charge in Santa Clara County that stemmed from a June arrest. He was granted supervised release, which was revoked after failing to appear in court. 

The release was over the objection of the Santa Clara District Attorney's Office. At the time of his June arrest, Lopez-Garcia, a Mexican citizen, was on probation for a felony domestic violence conviction in a nearby county, officials said. 

An immigration detainer was sent to the Santa Clara County jail to hold Lopez-Garcia so Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents could take him into custody upon his release. Notification to ICE would have been allowed under California's sanctuary policy, Garcia said, but the request was not honored and he was released.

The county's sanctuary policy bars local law enforcement agencies from contacting ICE about the pending release of inmates who had been living in the United States without legal permission. 

“Here we have catastrophic proof of the abject failure of California’s sanctuary policies. The only person this policy protected was a criminal; permitting him to reoffend over and over again," Jennings, the ICE field director, said. "Had those immigration detainers been honored, or had ICE been notified on any of the other multiple occasions he was arrested and released from local jails, we would have taken him into custody.

Mayor Sam Liccardo said "multiple system failures" allowed the Lopez-Garcia to continue to re-offend. 

"This defendant should not have been out on the street," he said. "In those very rare circumstances when an undocumented offender has a record of violent or serious prior convictions, the county should be acting in accordance with the (California) Values Act in notifying ICE that a person will be released out into the community."

Santa Clara's sanctuary policies came under heavy scrutiny last year after the March 2019 killing of Bambi Larson in San Jose. Authorities said Carlos Eduardo Arevalo Carranza, who has a long criminal history with numerous arrests and gang ties, stalked the 59-year-old before stabbing her to death. 

He was deported in 2013 and re-entered the U.S. illegally, authorities said. Multiple ICE detainers requesting notification of his release from county jails were ignored.

Judge Barrett makes her mark

Supreme Court Says “No” To Cuomo’ Restrictions on Religion

Take a wild guess which way Roberts went?

“Even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and forgotten,” the Supreme Court concluded. 

Guess he couldn't see that.

BTW... he said this a while back. "There is no such thing as Obama judges or Trump judges."

Ginsburg 2016:

 This is what she said about Trump before the election and made no bones about it.

"I can't imagine what this place would be -- I can't imagine what the country would be -- with Donald Trump as our president."

"He is a faker," she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point as if presenting a legal brief. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. ... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."

Kinda shoots holes through Roberts' theory ya think?

You heard of RINO's right? Now we have CINO's like the one above (Roberts)... 

Catholic In Name Only

Guess you know what the ACLU take is.

--------------------------------------

The United States Supreme Court has temporarily ruled against Governor’s Cuomo’s restriction against attendance limits within religious houses of worship.

The 5-4 decision upholds the first amendment which gives Americans the right to worship as they choose. “The restrictions at issue here, by effectively barring many from attending religious services, strike at the very heart of the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious liberty,” the majority decision wrote.

Newly appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett played a vital role in her first public vote as a justice supporting the majority opinion. Earlier this year, the court had voted to leave in place pandemic-related capacity restrictions affecting churches in California and Nevada. Justice Barrett’s predecessor, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, was on that court, the justices divided 5-4

The two groups that sued against the restrictions was the Catholic church and Orthodox Jewish synagogues.

“Even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and forgotten,” the Supreme Court concluded.

Adam Schiff Says If Trump Pardons Michael Flynn He'd Be 'Acting Like An Organized Crime Figure'

Maybe that bug-eyed bastard should check this!

Out of the last 4 which one's record resembles 'Al Capone' the most? Hint like Al he's a product of Chicago. 

Oh...and let's not forget Lady Boy.

He/she/it was sentenced to 35 years for espionage. Out in 7 thanks to Barry.

Remember this POS?

Tried by general court-martial on charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. Six guys died looking for him. Never went to prison. Barry was not directly tied to it but I'm sure he pulled the strings.

Got to border patrol agents and 300 Mexicans killed in his half-assed F&F scheme. Lied his ass off at the hearings. Just when he was about to go down Barry used his executive privilege to save his boy. 'Stedman' became the first U.S. Attorney General in history to be held in both criminal and civil contempt.

Wrongdoing, I can go on and on...

-----------------------------------------

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said President Donald Trump would be "acting like an organized crime figure" if he were to pardon former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told CNN anchor John Berman on Wednesday morning that such a move "frankly reflects so ill on our democracy, on the United States."

"Imagine what people around the world think when we have a president who's acting like an organized crime figure," he added. "But this is who Donald Trump is. It's who he was on his way into the presidency, it will be exactly who he is on his last days of the presidency."

Axios reported late Tuesday that Trump told confidants he plans to pardon Flynn, who pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about his contacts with Russia during the 2016 transition. Flynn was the only former White House official to plead guilty in the probe led by former special counsel Robert Mueller into Russia's election interference.

CNN also recently reported that talks were ongoing at the White House about pardoning the former national security adviser, who served less than a month in the Trump administration.

Schiff didn't dispute that Trump had the authority to pardon Flynn, but clarified that the power wasn't "absolute" and the president likely couldn't attempt to pardon himself without going into court.

Flynn's legal saga has been a drawn-out battle, during which he's avoided being sentenced to prison.

In May, the Justice Department abruptly moved to drop the case based on a review of the case ordered by Attorney General William Barr. The internal review found that Flynn's false statements weren't "material" to the Russia probe and therefore weren't a crime.

At the time, Trump said he was "very happy" about the DOJ's decision and that "what happened to General Flynn should never happen again." But the Justice Department's attempt to dismiss the case has since been tied up in federal court.

In September, Flynn's attorney Sidney Powell said at a court hearing that she recently spoke with Trump about the politically charged case and that she asked the president not to pardon Flynn.

If Trump did decide to pardon Flynn, it wouldn't be the first time that the president did so for a member of his inner circle. Earlier this year, Trump commuted the sentence of former associate Roger Stone. Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison for crimes including obstruction, witness tampering and making false statements to Congress.

Schiff told CNN on Wednesday that a Flynn pardon "would send a message that at least as far as President Trump is concerned if you lie on his behalf, if you cover up for him, he will reward you, he will protect you, but only if he thinks it's in his interest."

Gen. Mattis Calls on Biden to End ‘America First’ Policies: It Means ‘America Alone’

This coming from a former United States Marine Corps four-star general!!!

Can’t believe what I’m reading. Been saying that a lot lately. 

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

They may look similar but...

"When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. As for the types of comments I make, sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence."

Can you imagine "Blood and Guts" wanting to end 'America First’ policies? 

Former Defense Secretary Gen. James Mattis is calling on President-elect Joe Biden to kill “America first” policies.

“To achieve defense in depth, simply strengthening the U.S. military is not enough; nor the even more urgent task of strengthening U.S. diplomacy and other civilian elements of national power,” Mattis wrote in a Monday op-ed in Foreign Affairs. “Enhancing national security must start with the fundamental truth that the United States cannot protect itself or its interests without the help of others.”

He also wrote that the U.S. under President Donald Trump had undermined the “foundations” of “international order” as a result of “basic ignorance” of international affairs. “In practice, ‘America first’ has meant ‘America alone,'” Mattis added. “That has damaged the country’s ability to address problems before they reach U.S. territory and has thus compounded the danger emergent threats pose.”

Mattis served as Trump’s first secretary of defense, beginning in 2017 and ending with his resignation in February 2019. His tenure was marred by disagreement with the president on a range of issues, including U.S. participation in NATO as well as the president’s desire to take more a more aggressive stance toward Iran and Syria.

The conflict between Trump and Mattis escalated to such a degree, The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward revealed in September, that Mattis once even contemplated taking “collective action” against the president during tensions with North Korea, allegedly telling then-National Intelligence Director Dan Coats he believed Trump was “dangerous” and “unfit” for office.

In Monday’s op-ed — which also featured bylines from two staffers at the Hoover Institution, along with one from the American Enterpriser Institute — Mattis called on Biden to transform America first policies into something more “cooperative.”

“In January, when President Joe Biden and his national security team begin to reevaluate U.S. foreign policy, we hope they will quickly revise the national security strategy to eliminate ‘America first’ from its contents, restoring in its place the commitment to cooperative security that has served the United States so well for decades,” Mattis wrote. “The best strategy for ensuring safety and prosperity is to buttress American military strength with enhanced civilian tools and a restored network of solid alliances — both necessary to achieving defense in depth. The pandemic should serve as a reminder of what grief ensues when we wait for problems to come to us.”

Imagine there was a General Romney?
