WSJ: "KINGS OF DARK MONEY"

Many thanks to Tom Faranda's Folly for posting this very detailed piece from the Wall street Journal---the article would have been missed otherwise---see LINK BELOW:



From the Journal long running “Best of the Web” email feature. For the complete story hit the link at the bottom.

Jonathan Alpert makes a good case that “No Kings” events are bad group therapy for the highly credentialed. So who’s paying for these destructive therapy sessions? Former Wall Street Journal reporter Asra Nomani reported Saturday for Fox News:

A network of about 500 groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues is behind the coordinated nationwide “No Kings” protest Saturday, including communist groups who are using the day to call for a “revolution,” according to a Fox Digital News investigation.

According to a copy of the permit for the “flagship” march in St. Paul, Minn., Indivisible, a national well-heeled Democratic political advocacy organization funded by billionaire George Soros, is the lead coordinator for the protest.

But Fox News Digital has also identified key participation by a network of radical socialist and communist organizations funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American tech tycoon and avowed communist living in China. MORE AT WSJ: “Kings of Dark Money” – Tom Faranda's Folly

VILLAGE & TOWN OF CORTLANDT ID CARD POLICY

Yet again, getting trolled relentlessly about the "unfairness"--inequity---whatever---that village AND town-issued id cards are needed in order to use certain amenities.  Sorry, but these are mandatory....please direct your comments---and complaints--about these id's to the appropriate officials.  You are quite simply wasting your breath here.

KAROLINE LEAVITT BLASTS MINIMAL MEDIA COVERAGE OF SHERIDAN GORMAN MURDER

FOX News--White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed the minimal coverage the liberal networks have given to the murder of 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman.

Leavitt took a moment at Monday's press briefing to highlight a recent study from the Media Research Center showing CBS News dedicating two minutes and one second of coverage towards Gorman's murder while ABC News spent just one minute and 19 seconds and NBC News spent just 23 seconds total......."I think her life was worth more than 23 seconds on cable television," Leavitt said. "And I think the people in this room have a responsibility to report on cases like this because it just exemplifies why the president believes so strongly in deporting illegal aliens from our communities."
