Former Rep. T.J. Cox (D-CA), who was part of the 2018 "blue wave" election that brought Democrats and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) back to power, was indicted Tuesday on 28 federal counts, including fraud and campaign contribution fraud. Among the charges is one that Cox fraudulently claimed to have purchased a property as his primary residence. Cox faced allegations during the 2018 campaign that his real "principal residence" was in Maryland and that he did not actually live in California. It is unclear whether the indictment concerns Cox's attempt to prove that he lived in California in that race.I haven't seen that in other pieces, but it reminds me of another person in the news who lives in Maryland while representing people elsewhere. There is a discussion of legal ballot harvesting connected to his 2018 win in this piece, too. From the DOJ press release:
A 28-count indictment was unsealed today in the Eastern District of California charging a former member of Congress with multiple fraud schemes and campaign contribution fraud. Terrance John "TJ" Cox, 59, of Fresno, is charged with 15 counts of wire fraud, 11 counts of money laundering, one count of financial institution fraud, and one count of campaign contribution fraud. According to allegations in the indictment, Cox perpetrated multiple fraud schemes targeting companies he was affiliated with and their clients and vendors. Cox created unauthorized off-the-books bank accounts and diverted client and company money into those accounts through false representations, pretenses and promises. From 2013 to 2018, across two different fraud schemes, Cox illicitly obtained over $1.7 million in diverted client payments and company loans and investments he solicited and then stole.There is more. I first learned about this story from the radio while riding back from Fresno after surgery. I had been under conscious sedation, so I might get some details wrong, but he was arrested at the federal courthouse in Fresno and soon after that, someone stuck a microphone in his face. I heard a vague statement about how he had not read the indictments and how politics was tough and how he would not be there now if it weren't for politics. Well, he would not have faced the campaign-related charges, but what about the tax charges and the business fraud charges? Would he have been a fine, upstanding citizen if he had steered clear of politics? Was he being framed? The charges seem really serious:
This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the IRS Criminal Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Henry Z. Carbajal III and Jeffrey A. Spivak are prosecuting the case. Nearly six hours after being arrested TJ Cox pleaded not guilty during his arraignment in Fresno federal court Tuesday afternoon. The judge agreed to release the former congressman without bail on three conditions. He has to surrender his passport, not contact witnesses in the case, and have no control over financial matters. If convicted, Cox faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for wire fraud and money laundering. He faces a maximum statutory penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine for wire fraud affecting a financial institution and financial institution fraud. He faces a maximum statutory penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for campaign contribution fraud.
"Obviously the DCCC doesn't think too highly of any of the residents of California's 21st Congressional District. Instead, they have decided Washington insiders know best, coercing out locals and running their own handpicked candidate," wrote Cole Rojewski, campaign spokesman for Valadao. The "local" he is referring to is Huerta, the son of farm labor icon Dolores Huerta, who was the only opponent facing Valadao until this weekend when he announced he would drop out of the race. . . "I decided it would be best for everyone - particularly the rural communities in the 21st - for me not to run," Huerta said. "I wanted to preserve the opportunity for us locally and the Democratic Party to flip that seat. The fight is against Valadao." Cox appears to have more financial resources than Huerta did. According to Federal Election Commission filings, Cox raised more than $408,000 in the second half of 2017. About half of that was a personal loan from Cox to his campaign. But $200,974 of those contributions were from donors. Cox raised in six months more than twice what Huerta raised in a full year of fundraising in 2017. He said he will be able to transfer those funds from his 10th District race into the 21st District.Unfortunately for Cox, it appears that part of the contributions from donors were from money he gave to the donors to contribute back to his campaign. Those are some of the charges made against him this week. Campaign finance laws can cause problems for "the little people", but this guy seemed to go way beyond breaking the rules in one area of the law. 2020 election
Cox was criticized for pushing to gain preferential access into Yosemite National Park over the July 4 weekend. In October 2020, Cox's campaign acknowledged fabricating a tweet to make it appear as if Valadao had retweeted a message from President Trump saying "California is going to hell. Vote Trump!"I remember the news about the July 4 weekend. Didn't seem like a real big scandal to me. The fabricated tweet is really creepy. There were rumors about problems with taxes and business dealings, but they seemed kind of vague. Not anymore, I guess. Cox's time in Congress seemed kind of vague, too. Anyway, Valadao won the seat back in another squeaker. Before the Cox scandals really hit. Valley politics could use some upgrading. I wonder if Cox thought he would be able to skate forever?
This is escalating language. It should be condemned not mocked. If you're going to sit in that "seat" you need to up your game. Ridiculous that this isn't THE issue of today. They are doing OPB for Floyd 2.0 & we are sitting around mocking them. ffs.

Do better.
You got me. I have never yet written a serious word about the left's desire to make war on half the country. I will do better.Here's "better": How the government shifted its "Counter-Extremism" strategy to target the mainstream.
The narrative is here, and it doesn't like you very much. In recent remarks before members of the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee, the chief of the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency claimed that domestic extremism has become "part of the cultural mainstream." Former DHS official and USA Today contributor Elizabeth Neumann agrees: "Far-Right Extremists went mainstream under Trump."
"Extremists have gone mainstream," echoes journalist Zahra Ahmad. "Lawyers, realtors and every-day folks make up their ranks." Ahmad cites a figure suggesting a quarter of Americans hold "ideas incubated by white nationalists." Not to be left out, NPR warns that white extremism "seeps" into the mainstream. The Atlantic says the mainstream has gone extremist too. A study by the Chicago Project on Security and Threats warns that most January 6 "insurrectionists" were mainstream to the extreme:
They work as CEOs, shop owners, doctors, lawyers, IT specialists, and accountants. Strikingly, court documents indicate that only 9 percent are unemployed. Of the earlier far-right extremist suspects we studied, 61 percent were under 35, 25 percent were unemployed, and almost none worked in white-collar occupations.
The Chicago Project is led by Robert Pape, a University of Chicago academic best known for declaring that Islamic extremism plays no role in suicide bombings and who once urged a U.S. government-identified front group for the terror organization Hamas to purchase copies to promote his book. So it's an open question whether Pape and company can actually identify extremism when they see it. But what does it say about America's elites--security officials, academics, and media personalities--that they are all convinced that those holding the prevailing attitudes and values of our society are a dangerous threat? And a threat to whom?There's a question you don't often see: "A threat to whom?" Then Shideler tackes the questions, How did we get here? And What do we do about it? He goes back to decisions made early in the War on Terror. Other decisions built on those, and gradually, the official narrative became ridiculous. People turned into dopes. Anyway, read the whole thing. The last heading in the piece is correct:

I know that Sam Harris has been talked about, but there was a nugget not mentioned.
He used the phrase attack "on the institutions we rely on so much" and I wonder if he has a gnawing doubt that makes him so angry. What institution would that be? I can tell what harm many agencies cause me, but I would challenge him to identify one that benefits.
Does he presume like Ralph Nader that we would all be driving terrible death-trap cars if not for government mandated safety? Us idiot boobs just running into stuff and bursting into flames like Tesla drivers, if the experts weren't there to save us?
Does he presume that statistics will bear out the risks and costs of masks and jabs?
Does he presume I will collect unemployment some day?

Substitute "communists" for "white extremists" and this could be the most fevered rantings of the nuttier Birchers and their ilk. Except for the fact that communists actually did exist in the government.

“This contract language was something that we are, first of all, extremely proud of for achieving but it also doesn’t go far enough,” Greta Callahan, president of the teachers’ union, told “GMA3” host Amy Robach. “We need to support and retain our educators, especially those who are underrepresented, and this language does one tiny, minuscule step towards that but doesn’t solve the real crisis we’re in right now.”
Laying off white teachers first is a great start but there is so much more to be done! To the left there is no victory, only a great start on a journey.

A letter sent by New York Attorney General Letitia James to Cornerstone Church in Batavia, New York, threatened the church in advance of its hosting a ReAwaken America Tour event this past weekend, with investigation and prosecution of “acts of violence, intimidation, threats, or harassment” toward others based on “a belief or perception” of characteristics including “race,” “national origin,” “gender,” and “sexual orientation.”
“As New York’s top law enforcement officer, I have significant concerns that the ReAwaken America Tour’s upcoming event at the Cornerstone Church in Batavia, New York on August 12 and 13 could spur extremist or racially motivated violence,” James said in the letter sent, in care of the church, to Clay Clark, organizer of the tour, and General Michael Flynn, who travels with it.

Checking back in before I head out, well, believe it or not, Cox was far preferable to Huerta. Huerta is a far left wing radical who uses her family name to grift off of local illegals, while "fighting" for them. It is hard to believe, but, as bad as Cox is, Huerta is far worse.
I suspect Huerta had a hand in the demise of Cox.
Anyway, I couldn't resist commenting, as Bakersfield is my former home town.

Yet another inflation example. I have a two-year electricity plan that ends in October, which means that for the last two years I’ve been paying Trump prices for electricity.
Just got the renewal notice today. “Your expiring energy charge is 5.7¢ per kWh. You can renew on an energy charge of 11.3¢ per kWh.” So the energy portion of my electrical bill is set to double.
Thanks, Brandon. And to all in the GOP who enabled you.

Here is an excellent article detailing the changes to the Republican Party now that the politicial dynasties (Bush, Cheney, Clinton, Kennedy) are ended.
“Neo-conservative dynasties have been rejected by voters across the country. Middle-class Americans have repudiated the Republican oligarchy. It is a new day for the Republican Party,” he told us.
And Democratic pollster John Zogby said the end of modern political dynasties suggests that Washington and its elites have lost their influence.
“With Liz Cheney leaving office, it looks like the end of the notion of a ‘D.C. elite.’ I don't see any other family on the horizon. Both a fulfillment of our culture and a revolution away from inside-the-Beltway dominance,” he said.

“With Liz Cheney leaving office, it looks like the end of the notion of a ‘D.C. elite.’ I don't see any other family on the horizon. Both a fulfillment of our culture and a revolution away from inside-the-Beltway dominance,” he said.

Can we distinguish between 'elites' and 'elitists'? Nothing negative about being elite. It properly describes proficiency and excellence in any trade, craft, skill, knowledge, etc.
'Elitist' on the other hand describes those who think they are superior and entitled. (e.g. nearly everyone management and leadership roles in our institutions - media, entertainment, public schools, universities, administrative state, NGOs, foundations, big tech media, etc.)

BLM/Antifa burning down cities is mainstream, but those of us who believe in the Constitution and rule of law are radicals.
Gosh, never saw that one coming.
Anyway, and, sorry, KT, to distract, but I could use some prayer. I've an upcoming surgery, which should be no big deal, but, I have some health issues, which I've made the doctors aware of, which could be a wild card. I go in Tuesday morning. It should be an outpatient procedure, but, still, it involves general anesthetic, which is where the problems could occur.
Thanks!

Willowage: The 2020 Census was botched to a shocking extent, by the Census Bureau's own admission. The bureau's 2020 Post-Enumeration Survey revealed that FL was deprived of two House seats and TX was deprived of one House seat. MN and RI each kept one House seat that should have been lost. CO gained one House seat it shouldn't have.
The census overcounted in CO, DE, HI, MA, MN, NY, OH, RI, and UT. The census undercounted in AR, FL, IL, MS, TN, and TX. If you detect a pattern in that, you're a domestic terrorist. And also raysis.

And I see they are circling back to "Trump obstructed justice in the Russia probe". He obstructed justice by not cooperating with a fake investigation into a fake crime. But he was supposed to go along with it, and because he didn't play along, he needs to go to jail.

So, is Newsom going to ditch his state police bodyguard when traveling to these states?

"Vote for me! Your scum state isn't good enough for California, but you inbred losers can partially redeem yourselves by voting for me!"

Is it extreme to love your country?
Is it extreme not to want boys in girls bathrooms
(Believe or not that used to be the argumemt!)
Is it extreme to resist invasion of your country and destruction of its culture?

The only really big busts happen when one of the Cartels decides it would be useful to set up one of its rivals.

Sinema chose "carried interest" as her hill to die on. It enables hedge fund managers to transmute ordinary income into capital gains, which is important if you want to become a hedge fund billionaire.
Immediately after, lots of donations from hedge fund managers went to Sinema.
This isn't an Arizona issue, but many other Ds are in bed with hedge fund managers. Sure looks like the whole thing was structured to shake down the hedgies to bribe the 50th vote.

It is full of brave, selfless jut-jawed Americans fighting evil foreigners to protect our country.
Frankly, I find it hilarious reading this in 2022.
After looking at Hayden, Brennan, and the other forty-eight "intelligence experts" who assured us that the Hunter Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation", not to mention military geniuses like Miley and Austin, who continue to hold on to their sinecures despite being in charge during the disaster in Afghanistan, the idea that we have a noble and self-sacrificing class of people defending the country is ludicrous.
They're far more interested in crushing half the American people than dealing with foreign threats.
It would be fun to do neo-Tom Clancy novels populated by the incompetent losers who actually run our national defense and intelligence establishments. They can lurch from disaster to disaster without any consequences for them personally.

Remember Andrew Gillum? DeSantis defeated him for governor by about half a point. You remember Gillum and his anal bleeding and meth and male prostitutes?
The FBI was investigating him for all sorts of campaign malfeasance, during the campaign. He denied everything. The media did not press him on it, did not make a deal of the fact.
He has since been arrested and charged for all the things he was investigated for. NOT for the male hookers and meth stuff.
But, is that news? No DeSantis is the devil, all the time. And, yeah, speaking of timing, it took FOUR YEARS for them to bring the case. The trial, scheduled for August, has been postponed to April. I am also reminded that my Republican governor was investigated in 2013, indicted in 8 months, and convicted in just 7 more. Oh, probably worth mentioning that the convention was overturned by SCOTUS - they found what he had been convicted of was not even a crime.

You know, if we on the Constitutionalist Right were the "extremists" they accuse us of being, there would long ago have been a bloodbath of leftists so as to make the St. Valentine's Day Massacre look like a Sunday School Picnic.
They project on us though, all the shit they're neck deep in doing. Every time. Which is what justifies them kicking down doors and killing pet dogs and all of the etc., and even more etc.
Most federal enforcement is now indistinguishable from the crimes they claim to prevent. Me, I just want to find some remote acreage, move out there and pull the hole in after me.

Prevent the police from protecting the disfavored while allowing your brown-shirts to kill and destroy with near impunity. Have a Reichstag fire event to further demonize those you hate...and more and more and more.

My experience in the chemical industry has taught me that most on-the-job injuries don't come from heartless capitalists deliberately endangering workers in order to generate obscene profits, it's because someone failed to follow an established procedure they should have followed

It is not well known, but Marx wrote his book on the topic of poor working conditions in German industries, and did so based on data that was over 20 years old when he started.
Basically, all the complaints he noted, the capitalists had ALREADY fixed, because it was in their financial interest to have a safe and fair workplace for their workers.
Government agencies (i.e. marxists) don't bring progress to workers, they get in the way of it.

Any fictional work that centers on some super-secret federal agency with tough, dedicated agents, state-of-the-art surveillance systems and near omnipotent wisdom is unreadable/ unwatchable for me now.

Out taking a walk, I passed by one of those little curbside take-a-book, leave-a-book libraries. Since I was about to run out of bedtime fiction reading, I took a look. Pulled out a Baldacci spy/intrigue book. I'm about halfway through now, and find myself snorting in derision about every fourth paragraph, as the magnificent skills of the sundry three-letter agencies are portrayed.

Sort of mainstream-ish prof rock group started by former Fates Warning drummer Mark Zonder (who, I didn't realize, plays traditional grip). Features Ray Alder on vocals. This song has a bit of an 80s vibe.

Yup, sorta like feds, working with local law enforcement, who compiled an airtight case against Epstein back in Florida.
Only to have the powers that be in Justice come in and give Epstein a deal that would be completely unprecedented... and illegal to boot.
By the by, the guy who signed off on that, got promoted to be Trump's Labor Secretary, until he had to resign in shame. I'd sure like to know who in the Trump administration pushed that clown forward.

Trump is about to file a 4th Amendment motion against an illegal search and seizure of his property. He wants those documents back because they will expose the CIA/FBI corruption in the Russia hoax all the way to the top. They are getting desperate and cranking the hate of those who support Trump to 11.
Anyone supporting them at this point is doing so out of Trump hate. They are too blinded by hate to realize they could be next.
We are close to the point where they would go after anyone who threatened their exposure.

Speaking of Ukraine, there's been a significant escalation that's gone almost unnoticed. The US has officially endorsed Uke attacks on targets in Crimea.
It was always US policy that Crimea still belongs to Ukraine, but this was seen primarily as leverage for any future negotiated settlement that would cede some territory to Russia.
Things have started mysteriously blowing up in Crimea lately, and the US is explicitly supporting Uke military action there, saying things like "Crimea is Ukraine."
HIMARS, recently sent to Ukraine, seems tailor-made for targeting Russian assets deep inside Crimea. The US previously seemed to be trying to set up conditions for a negotiated settlement, but that no longer appears to be the case.

One of the things about corruption is not just graft and lining your nest, it is also about using the mechanism of state to go after personal opponents. This is as old as time and why corruption is either viscously purged or it takes over everything. Because people tend to think of politics as a spoils system. Once they have some power, they use it.

But now they're counting Covid workplace deaths.So everything gets corrupted.
But it is interesting that workplace deaths sorta flatlined at 4000 a year.
Just like drunk driving deaths did after MADD laws. Some level of enforcement/deaths has to be tolerated.

Apropos of nothing I was in a restaurant in San Luis last week for lunch and I overheard the table of suits next to me debating some photo op that Newsom wanted with them and their industry. They did not like Newsom or his policies but were fearful of the punishment if they didn't comply. They were talking about specific legislation they were afraid of.
One dude kept saying he's going to use the photo for his run for president and say our industry supports him. I don't know what they did but I don't see many suits in my area. My guess is bankers/investments or attorneys. I could be wrong.
It just struck me how they were afraid of making him angry, that the legislature would punish them.

They’ve been pushing for a reaction since November 2020. They haven’t gotten one yet. If they do, what’s their play? A crack down? Martial law? They don’t have the numbers for either.

Perceptions = Reality, for the LIV's. It's only necessary that they mind-control a significant minority in order to maintain control. The last Presidential election made that plain, I think. They can do whatever they p;ease.

Newsom did a photo op in the oil fields of Kern County, write up and all, for the Bakersfield Californian. I was pretty sure the op occurred, because execs knew Newsom was gunning for them. It didn't work, Newsom went after them, anyway.

@210 Duke Lowell-They are not pushing for us to react. If 2 or 3 nut jobs do something, sure they're happy with that and they'll use it to paint every one of us as one of them.
They're doing this to dehumanize us, they're doing this for their side so when the time comes for them to use whatever LE apparatus to deal with us, be it one fell swoop(which I don't see happening) or a slow methodical drip of picking us off. Their voters/supporters will not only accept this without question, they'll cheer it on. All this rhetoric on their side isn't just hyperbole and it serves more than one purpose.
The big problem for some on our side has is wrapping their minds around it, accepting it is actually happening and what the intent is.
We are delusional to think we're going to defund and shutdown LE apparatus' that harbor the full force of the law easy-peasy without leftist politicians and those same agencies not labeling us "insurrectionist" trying to overthrow the government and dealing with us as they see fit with the blessing of the law and 50% of this country.........no, some of us are delusional not understanding what we are facing. Naive optimists.

One should be aware though, I'm a fan of the Filet-o-Fish sammich. It's about the only fish I'll eat. So feel free to look down y'all noses at my taste in fastish food.

Greetings Southern San Joaquin Valley and all other morons! I have lived in Bakersfield the past 20 years and it's the right people and size for me. In other places, people talk about the "six degrees of separation." Here, it's just two. If you don't know somebody, you know somebody who does.
I say if you meet someone new here, just scratch on them a little and you find all your friends inside.
The new election redistricting starting this year has gerrymandered Bakersfield into two interestingly different districts. Of course, if your party controls the gerrymandering, the object is to concentrate the other party's voters in one "concentration camp" district so you can win the adjoining three districts. That has been done in Bakersfield this decade. The only question is: Will it work?
The new CA 20th District (Bakersfield to Fresno along the Sierras -McCarthy) is 47% Republican, 27% Democrat. The new 22nd District (Hanford to Bakersfield and Arvin on the Valley floor -Valadao) is 46% D, 26% R.
The new 20th voted for Trump 63%. The new 22nd Trump 43%.
Kern County Republican politics would be worth a post sometime.

Gab's Andrew just posted a letter he got from some Congresscritters linking social media posts to sooper danger to the beloved fibbers and demanding answers to pages of questions. Unbelievable, except it's not. I'm sure they're after Truth, too. Luckily Nunes has experience with these types.
I'm hoping they'll post their matching demands to the Left re: the threats to Kavanaugh and the other supremes, and what they demanded from Harris and her ilk when she was encouraging Antifa to go wild.
