Green Graft: Aspiration Partners

Posted on by

The Global Warming Hoax continues to crumble, revealing that taxpayers were not the only ones to get burned in its name:

Aspiration Partners made a splash when it entered the green investing space in 2013.

The Marina del Rey [California] firm billed itself as a socially conscious online banking company, offering investments and focusing its finances on the climate crisis. It also generated and sold carbon credits meant to help offset greenhouse gas emissions.

It raked in a reported $110 million in just a few years by capitalizing on liberal eagerness to signal green virtue.

Soon, it collected celebrity investors such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Robert Downey Jr., and Steve Ballmer, the former Microsoft chief executive, philanthropist and owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. …

The firm even partnered with rapper Drake in 2021, using its reforestation program to offset the artist’s estimated climate impact.

Fools and their money are soon parted:

Earlier this year, the co-founder [Joseph Sanberg] and another top company official [Ibrahim Ameen AlHusseini] agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud charges and scheming to bilk investors using falsified documents. Aspiration went bankrupt.

Eventually, people wise up to the Great Green Scam. But the allegedly oppressed climate needn’t worry; as soon as Democrats regain power, they will impose the scam on a coercive basis, as under Obama and Biden.

Accused of Killing Daughter’s Rapist, Aaron Spencer Is Running for Sheriff

Posted on by

By and large, the establishment sides with criminals against their victims. Liberals created this situation out of the moral depravity that defines their ideology and as a deliberate effort to destabilize the country so as to facilitate seizing more power. Media advocacy of criminal scum in the name of Black Lives Matter and the fortunes George Soros has spent to install pro-criminal DAs throughout the country are only the most obvious examples.

Where moonbattery has replaced it, people will inevitably feel compelled to take justice into their own hands. Better would be to take the establishment into their own hands. That’s why Aaron Spencer is running for Sheriff of Lonoke County, Arkansas:

According to court documents, Spencer was charged with second-degree murder and a firearm enhancement in the death of Michael Fosler. Fosler had been charged with sexual offenses against Spencer’s daughter and was out on bond.

If Fosler had been behind bars where he belonged, he would still be alive. Spencer saw his daughter in Fosler’s truck and forced it off the road. Fosler did not survive the ensuing altercation.

Fosler violated a no-contact order after he allegedly stalked and raped Spencer’s 14-year-old daughter. The teen’s mother feared Fosler was going to kill her daughter after he was wanted for a possible six to nine felonies, and her daughter was the only witness…

Fosler was charged with two counts of alleged internet stalking of a child, two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault, and two counts of sexual indecency with a child, THV 11 reported, citing court files. Fosler was also charged with possession of 36 counts of child sexual abuse materials.

So of course authorities let him loose to resume his activities.

Spencer’s campaign pitch is bound to resonate:

Dem Rep Madeleine Dean Gripes About Trump Paying Troops

Posted on by

Yet again besting Democrats, Trump found a way to get US servicemembers paid during the Schumer Shutdown. While Democrat pols wallow in luxury, he is pulling $8 billion in unobligated research and development funds to pay Americans who signed up to put their lives on the line for their country. Congresscreature Madeleine Dean (D-PA) is not pleased. Meanwhile, CNN tries to spin it as Trump prolonging Democrats’ shutdown antics:

The axis of evil comprised of the Democratic Party and the liberal establishment media once seem insuperable. Trump has reduced it to a laughingstock.

Apt Praise for a Countermoonbat

Trump is a true rebel. He even dares to risk the wrath of the Thought Police by calling women beautiful:

Regarding European leaders, Trump’s relationship with the pro-Hamas wokester Emmanuel Macron is not as warm as with Italy’s countermoonbat Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

Oregon to Spend More on Free Healthcare for Migrants Than on State Police

Posted on by

There is no need for Democrats to shut down the federal government for weeks on end. If they want taxpayers to be forced to provide free healthcare to illegal aliens, they could just move to Oregon:

Oregon officials expect to spend $1.5 billion in combined state and federal taxpayer dollars on a program that offers health benefits to illegal aliens from 2025 to 2027. They expect to spend $717 million on Oregon State Police over the same period…

Those of us lucky enough not to live in Oregon get to help pick up the tab for the free healthcare:

The federal government will supply 25% of the funding to provide health benefits to illegal aliens in Oregon, the [Oregon Health Authority] told the [Daily Caller News Foundation].

Technically, illegal aliens are not allowed to cash in on Medicaid.

But some blue states have innovated creative accounting methods to extract federal dollars without the federal restrictions, according to the Paragon Health Institute, a non-partisan policy research group. Blue states will issue taxes on Medicaid insurers and providers, obtain a bundle of federal matching dollars for those funds, then return the taxed money to those institutions, the think tank points out.

Spending on health services for illegal aliens in Oregon has climbed by at least 1100% since the program’s introduction roughly four years ago.

This is not merely wasteful but actively damaging, as it draws hordes of unlawful moochers from all over the world. Nonetheless,

The policy demands congressional Democrats in DC have named as a prerequisite for reopening the government include dismantling barriers preventing Medicaid dollars from flowing to illegal aliens.

As police protection is deprioritized in favor of free healthcae for illegal aliens, public order is collapsing under moonbat rule in Oregon, necessitating the deployment of the National Guard — which has been held up in court.

If you hate America enough to want to turn it into Portland, vote Democrat.

Happy Birthday, Charlie Kirk

His reaction to last November’s election was reason enough for moonbats to want to kill Charlie Kirk:

Kirk did as much as anyone to put Trump in a position to pull the USA back from the edge of the dolorous abyss. Here’s wishing him a happy 32nd birthday.
