Helping Harris on her way to the White House is a proven duo

'I'm betting on the American people and the voters,' Minyon Moore has said in the past. One of Kamala Harris's top advisers has one last week to get Americans to vote for the first female president in the country's history.

A woman is running for President of the United States after eight years. Kamala Harris was nominated by the Democratic Party after the resignation of Joe Biden, for whom she served as vice-president.

Her campaign, which in recent months has caused many a Republican to wrinkle his forehead, is being run by two women: Minyon Moore and Sheila Nix.

Who are the key advisers working to ensure that Harris defeats Republican nominee Donald Trump on 5th November?

Decades ago, the Democratic Party made it a point to make its leadership more reflective of its voter base, i.e., to bring women and minorities into the club of older white heterosexual men.

Minyon Moore, now a 66-year-old Chicago native, took up the program. She has worked for the Democrats for forty years. She never ran for office herself, gave speeches or basked in the limelight much, but she helped pave the way for other women and members of minorities to get it all.

Early in her career, she was more of an activist than a professional election manager. Her first experience was as an adviser to the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984 and 1988.

Moore was successful in his service. An underrated civil rights activist with Native American and African American ancestry who was by no means a traditional politician, he finished third in his first primary, and second four years later.

This Passage Describing the Meltdown at a Pro-Biden Debate Watch Party Is Priceless

Democrats are going to continue reeling from Joe Biden’s abysmal debate performance last Thursday night, where former President Donald Trump dog walked the aging Delaware liberal to the point where you did feel a little bit bad for him. But then you remember that feelings are irrelevant here, and we need to destroy this man politically to save the country. To quote James Carville, when your opponent is drowning, throw him an anvil, not a life jacket. Trump did that but there was no anvil. It wasn’t necessary. He simply let Biden drown on his own volition. 

Trump’s evisceration of Biden is hardly a secret for most, but liberal America is coping especially hard. There’s no excuse for it. We saw it numerous times. There are polls to that effect. Those surveys are likely worse now. The combination of arrogance and anti-Trump bias is a deadly political speedball that’s left progressives overdosing and in need of Narcan. In Los Angeles, CNN reported on what could be described as a total meltdown among attendees, which included elected Democrats and Hollywood elitists. Jane Fonda was reportedly brought to tears (via CNN): 

Multiple Democratic officials and operatives, some of whom are affiliated with alternatives and those who are not, rage that Biden has demonstrated too much of an ego to have bowed out before. The president’s argument that he was the Democrat best able to beat Trump, several said, has now been turned on its head and they are left feeling he’s the option least able to beat Trump.  They say the president’s inner circle who have been running the campaign and prepared him for the debate – and who told some privately ahead of Thursday night that the prep had gone well – are either not being honest or are not capable of steering him either toward an exit or a recovery. At a LGBTQ fundraiser in New York City on Friday night, one attendee said some of the conversations even turned against Jill Biden, with the deep love for her as the quirky reluctant political spouse quickly curdling into exasperation that she is not willing to make the move that would lead to them leaving the White House.  Even as minds turn to a list that includes Harris, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Whitmer, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and even relatively new Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, none have gone public with anything but words of support for Biden. They worry about being called traitors. They worry that it might make Biden dig in more.  A debate watch party in Los Angeles on Thursday night happened to feature Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff, Pritzker, Whitmer and Beshear. There were other high-profile attendees – by a few answers in, Rob Reiner was screaming about losing and Jane Fonda had tears in her eyes, according to people in the room. 

The lengthy piece also expounded upon a hypothetical of an open convention, where Vice President Kamala Harris pulls a Brutus. Yet, there’s messy identity politics that leech through this scenario, even if far-fetched. Donna Brazile was quoted wondering how all these white Democrats could be placed ahead of the VP regarding these candidate replacement talks [emphasis mine]: 

The vice president’s “I’m not going to spend all night with you talking about the last 90 minutes when I’ve been watching the last three-and-a-half years of performance,” which people in her orbit say she came up with on the fly herself, has since been picked up by campaign operatives in addition to the first lady.  Harris would have other advantages too. A top outside political adviser, Minyon Moore, was months ago named the official in charge of convention proceedings, and others like her former chief of staff Tina Flournoy and Brazile have key committee roles too. Nor are her supporters shy about making their opinions known.  In an interview, Brazile said that her reaction to the calls that she has been getting since the debate with people inquiring about other candidates is: “How the f**k are you going to put all these white people ahead of Kamala?”

Brazile coming in like a “hot sister” again on that one but taking communications cues and advice from Harris is another sign that this party got broadsided, and they don’t know what to do because, yeah; Joe Biden is mentally declining.

Democrats Face Obstacles in Plan to Reorder Presidential Primary Calendar

Democratic efforts to change the states will host the presidential primaries began an uncertain and new phase in the last week. the obstacles to Biden's preferred order being uncovered even as a number of states affirmed their ability to host early presidential contests which is a crucial step towards fundamentally changing the way in which the calendar is set. However, In Georgia, Democrats face logistical difficulties in advancing their primary. Also, New Hampshire, the longtime leading primary state is now formally stating that it is unable to adhere to the early-state list of states approved by an D.N.C. panel, which stipulates that New Hampshire would be hosting the second primary race in conjunction with Nevada. The panel approved a broad series of changes last month in the manner the party selects its presidential candidate in line with the. Biden's goal of placing states that are more diverse in their racial makeup in the middle of the selection process. Democratic nominating contests have in recent decades started with Iowa caucuses as well as the New Hampshire primary. The new plan proposes that the 2024 Democratic primary calendar for the presidency would start with South Carolina on Feb. 3. Then, it would be followed by New Hampshire and Nevada on February. 6. Georgia at the end of February. 13 and Michigan on February. 27. The states -- some of which played an important role in the outcome of Mr. Biden's victory in the 2020 primary They were given until Thursday to show that they are on the right track to host contests on chosen dates. According to a statement from the co-chairs for the D.N.C.'s Rules and Bylaws Committee, Nevada, South Carolina and Michigan have all met the requirements of the committee to hold primaries in the early stages. Both Georgia as well as New Hampshire are more complex cases. In the letter they delivered on Thursday, co-chairs of the committee recommended that two states receive extensions so that they can have the necessary time to focus on fulfilling the demands of the new calendar. "We expected both the New Hampshire and Georgia efforts to be complicated but well worth the effort if we can get them done," wrote Jim Roosevelt Jr. and Minyon Moore in a document obtained through The New York Times. They added "We are committed to seeing out the calendar that this committee approved last month." Under the new D.N.C. plan, Georgia would host the fourth Democratic primary in 2024. Once a Republican home that helped to propel Biden to the presidency. Biden to the presidency, Georgia also played a significant role in the emergence of its Democratic Senate majority. Georgia has since become a important state for battles. Atlanta is in the race to be the host of for the Democratic National Convention and is considered to be among the top candidates. There are a few issues to consider when the process of moving the Georgia's Democratic primary. Republicans have already signed on to their own early voting calendar respecting the order of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, and the rules set by the Republican National Committee are clear states that violate the line are likely to lose delegates. the rules of the party are been in place for a while. been established (though they are not in place yet). R.N.C. is currently in turmoil as its chairperson, Ronna McDaniel, faces the possibility of a challenge to the leadership of her party). In Georgia the primary date is set through the state secretary Brad Raffensperger, a Republican. The office's officials have stated that there isn't any desire to hold two primaries or to lose delegate. "This needs to be equitable to both political parties and held on the same day to save taxpayers' money," Jordan Fuchs, Georgia's deputy secretary of State stated in an interview this week. Georgia Democrats hope that the cash and media attention to the early primary state could persuade governor. Brian P. Kemp, who is a Republican to intervene for the state could be disappointed as well. "The governor has no role in this process and does not support the idea," Cody Hall, an advisor for Ms. Kemp, said on Wednesday evening. The election is complicated by various factors within New Hampshire, which has for a long time been home to the nation's first primary as an enforceable issue of the state's law. It is not clear whether the state's Democrats nor the state's Republicans who have control of the governor's mansion as well as the state legislature, have the inclination to ignore the law by playing to the state's well-educated voters and the famed opportunities for small-scale, retail campaigning. The tradition has put New Hampshire's Democrats in direct conflict to the D.N.C. requirement to host the 2024 primary for the second time. Officials from the state have expressed their desire to hold the primary regardless, despite the risk of penalty. In an email in a letter to the Rules and Bylaws Committee before the deadline was extended, Raymond Buckley, the chairman of the state Democratic Party, wrote that the D.N.C.'s strategy would be "unrealistic and unattainable, as the New Hampshire Democratic Party cannot dictate to the Republican governor and state legislative leaders what to do, and because it does not have the power to change the primary date unilaterally." He outlined a variety of compromises New Hampshire Democrats are likely to negotiate, but urged for the committee "reconsider the requirements that they have placed," calling them as an "poison pill." The early-state plan is the result of a long-running process to change the order and diversity of the calendar. Roosevelt and Ms. Moore declared later on Thursday that the calendar tentatively proposed "does what is long overdue and brings more voices into the early window process." D.N.C. rules impose penalties for states which operates in excess of the agreed-upon early timeframe, and candidates who are campaigning in these states. Should New Hampshire jumps the line If it does, Mr. Biden's reelection campaign should he run in the New Hampshire primary, may opt to not file to run in the New Hampshire primary, a state in which he was fifth in 2020. Although a few notable Democratic officials are anticipating to see that he'll face an important primary challenge should the candidate is elected -- which makes all the controversy surrounding the early-state calendar moot in 2024, an unknown candidate might emerge and make a splash at New Hampshire, some in the state have been warning. The calendar that will be used for the next election is not established for the upcoming elections. Mr. Biden urged the Rules and Bylaws Committee to examine this calendar each four years. The committee has accepted an amendement to get this process moving forward. There are many steps to take this year. It is expected that the Rules and Bylaws Committee is scheduled to meet in order to take a vote on the extensions proposed. The D.N.C.'s. winter meeting, in which the proposal for five states is required to be approved by the full committee is scheduled for February 1st in Philadelphia There is bound to be more excitement ahead of the meeting. "The first real inflection point is the meeting of the full D.N.C.," Mr. Roosevelt said in an interview last month. Read the full article

SBF Arrested and Other Distractions

When the media wants you to focus on something you can rest assured they will give you other distractions to keep you from seeing what’s going on “Behind the Curtain.” And we usually like to wait a day or so to weigh in with our two cents worth. Cue up:  Sam Bankrun-Fraud’s arrest in the Bahamas Ironically (or NOT) his arrest came literally 24 hours before he was due to testify in Congress. So, it seems his arrest may be a way to stop him from saying something that may harm his defense or incriminate others during the hearings… keeping him from incriminating any more politicians. Based on the charges, he could be looking at life in prison IF convicted. Adding gasoline to a conspiracy fire, he will be held at MCC, the same dungeon in which Jeffrey Epstein supposedly committed suicide.   And with his connections with all the Democrats, it will be interesting to see if he too suddenly commits suicide. Ooops!  Better Call Saul       This also raises a host of other possibilities, including: SBF will blame Caroline Ellison and she’ll blame him. Plan on a clown show Bet he gets a court date before any of the J6 folks still rotting in prison. This concludes Operation Keep Ukraine Money Laundering Concealed… He had a lot of help…Money laundering?  CIA backing?  He didn’t do this alone. Plea deal, 1 year probation, records sealed. Now Back to Trumps taxes. If he gets a DC jury, he might walk. All he has to do is find a way to blame Trump Or they want to put this guy away faster than Paul Pelosi's "attacker" Summing things up: It's a big club and he's no longer in it     Other Distractions...The One They Don't Want You to Notice    And while you’re “looking here and not there…” this also took place.   Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler – scrubbed evidence of a meeting with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from his calendar, along with key details of a meeting with Billionaire leftist-operative George Soros. Gensler also concealed September 21 meetings with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and former Bill Clinton White House official-turned-DC consultant, Minyon Moore. Gensler is, after all, the CEO of the Securities and Exchange Commission. So, does anyone wonder why the Gensler news disappeared today as well?   Meanwhile, on the kinky/perversion front, the luggage thief was caught AGAIN.       Biden Fires Kinky They/Them Luggage-Stealing Nuke Official, Sam Brinton The Department of Energy has also tried to distance Biden from the issue saying: "Sam Brinton is no longer a DOE employee. By law, the Department of Energy cannot comment further on personnel matters." Gee, who could have seen this coming? As a result, some interesting possibilities exist here: What a wonderful gift O’Biden just handed he-she because he-she can now sue for wrongful dismissal as he-she has not been convicted He-she will walk away with probably millions And you're looking at the next head of the U.S. Department of Education Or maybe he’ll get a job at Samsonite Or a million-dollar role in a TV sit com starring with Brittney Griner. This proves that hiring people with a lot of mental health issues was not a good idea... And this also proves that distractions like these keep you from seeing the truth. So, if you’re interested in learning the truth, the read the December issue of “…In Plain English” (HERE). Share this with a friend…especially if they want the truth. They’ll thank YOU later. “And You Shall Know the Truth and the Truth Shall Make You Free” ~John 8:32~ We’re Not Just About Finance.

Impossible to not feel exhilarated listening to each one of these women about their epic journey. Now, imagine them together —all at one table! So lucky to spend time with all of them yesterday.

[beardedmrbean]

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita filed a lawsuit this week against a national Black Lives Matter charity for failing to fork over information about its finances.

The lawsuit is part of an investigation Rokita launched against the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation in February that is seeking to determine whether the embattled charity violated Indiana state law by deceiving donors and misapplying its assets.

“Protecting Indiana consumers from this house of cards is critical,” Rokita said in a statement Thursday. “There are concerning patterns of behavior from this organization, and we will do what it takes — including this lawsuit — to get to the bottom of it.”

BLM ACCOUNTING GIMMICK FURTHER DELAYS DISCLOSURE OF ITS $60M BANKROLL

The foundation claimed to have raised $90 million in 2020 in the aftermath of George Floyd's killing, but the charity has yet to file an IRS Form 990 disclosing what it did with the funds. The charity was exposed in early April for trying to conceal its cash purchase of a $6 million Los Angeles mansion with donor funds in October 2020, which a watchdog group alleged could be a violation of IRS charity laws.

The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation has also yet to announce publicly who has been in charge of the charity since its co-founder Patrisse Cullors resigned in May 2021 amid the scrutiny of her own real estate purchases. However, the group did disclose in filings to California and New Mexico in February that Bill and Hillary Clinton insider Minyon Moore and the law firm run by Democratic lawyer Marc Elias had taken up key roles with the charity.

And in February, the foundation shut off its ability to raise funds amid legal threats from California and Washington over its lack of financial and operational transparency.

Rokita sent a civil investigative demand to the charity on Feb. 23 that requested the charity to disclose all of the property it owns in Indiana, as well as produce a general ledger showing all payments and the recipients of those payments that the charity has made since January 2020.

The foundation did not respond by Rokita's March 25 deadline, he said in his lawsuit Tuesday. The attorney general's lawsuit requested state courts to compel the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation to comply with his records request.

“There are many Indiana stakeholders and donors who have been impacted by these allegations. This lawsuit will allow for a court to swiftly and efficiently resolve the state’s request for information,” Rokita said.

He added that the foundation could be barred from future fundraising in Indiana if the charity fails to comply with his demand.

Cullors, who was in control of the foundation while it raked in $90 million in 2020 and spent $6 million on its Los Angeles mansion, said during an event in early April that she finds it "triggering" whenever she hears terms such as IRS Form 990, which is the document charities are required to disclose to the public detailing their financial activities.

She added that activists suffer trauma and their lives are put at risk when their charities are required to disclose publicly what they did with their tax-deductible donations.

"This doesn't seem safe for us, this 990 structure — this nonprofit system structure," Cullors said. "This is, like, deeply unsafe. This is being literally weaponized against us, against the people we work with."

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris‘ senior staff is shaping up to be a proper representation of the voters who are largely credited for her and Joe Biden‘s historic election. Not only are the top three staffers Black but they are also women, a combinatory nod to the group often called the backbone of the Democratic Party. The last addition to Harris’ staff is Tina Flournoy, who was formally picked on Tuesday to be the vice president’s chief of staff. The transition for Flournoy shouldn’t be too difficult since that’s the same role she’s been working in for former President Bill Clinton. Flournoy has also had stints as a senior adviser to Democratic National Convention Chairman Howard Dean and as an Assistant to the President for Public Policy at the American Federation of Teachers. Her bio on the website for Georgetown University — where she graduated from law school – detailed her extensive experience working on behalf of Democrats in positions that include: “traveling chief of staff to 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee, Senator Joseph Lieberman, Finance Director for the Gore 2000 Presidential Campaign and Deputy to the Campaign Manager in the 1992 Clinton/Gore Presidential Transition Office and in the White House Office of Presidential Personnel. Flournoy also served as General Counsel for the 1992 Democratic National Convention. Prior to joining the Convention team, Flournoy was Counsel for the DNC under Chairmen Paul Kirk and Ron Brown.” According to journalist Yashar Ali, Flournoy is part of a group of Black women Democratic operatives and friends who call themselves “the Colored Girls.” They include Donna Brazile, Yolanda Caraway, Leah Daughtry and Minyon Moore. Ali reported Flourny’s hiring first. Flournoy is expected to work closely with Ashley Etienne, who was named as Harris’ chief communications director. Like Flournoy, Etienne has a wealth of experience working for Democrats, including being the special assistant to President Barack Obama and the cabinet communications director at the White House. She was also a spokeswoman for Nancy Pelosi from 2012-2014. (SWIPE LEFT) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIdlhkVgGRA/?igshid=fggsgy12gf58
