Another One: How Did BLM Grifter and "Squad" Member Ayana Presley Go from Broke-Ass to Wealthy After Just a Few Short Years in Congress?

@Sadie_NC
Another Squad member caught in the swamp!
Ayanna Pressley went from negative net worth in 2018 to $1.3 million today--on a $174k salary?
Assets up to $8M, including a fancy Martha's Vineyard rental. Her husband starts a "consulting" firm with ties to Obama right after she enters Congress. Coincidence?

Ayanna Pressley is facing renewed scrutiny as claims circulate that her net worth surged from negative in 2018 to assets reportedly valued up to $8 million -- fueling calls for investigation and accountability.

It turns out her husband quit his political job when she got elected and opened a "consultancy" firm -- which can accept large sums of money to "consult" with people. And lobby congresswomen, no doubt.

Before Brian Stelter can hiss "conspiracy theory!" and Jake Tapper can whine "WITHOUT EVIDENCE," consider this:

High-level officials in Biden administration went to work for grant recipients, watchdog finds
The Revolving Door of D.C.: Federal agencies under Biden doled out $600 million to a variety of climate-focused NGOs following Biden's disastrous debate with Trump in 2024. Some individuals who held leadership positions at these agencies later went on to work for the same recipients of the grant money.

The Department of Energy recently announced it's eliminating more than $83 billion in what it called "Green New Scam" loans and conditional commitments made through the Loans Programs Office during the Biden administration.
The Trump administration has tried to roll back funding the Biden administration rushed out the door in its final months.
Democracy Restored, a nonprofit government watchdog, calculated that following former President Joe Biden's disastrous debate with now-President Donald Trump on June 27, 2024, the Biden administration began rushing billions out the door to more than a dozen environmental and climate-focused NGOs, including the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, Climate United Fund, the Ocean Conservancy, the Nature Conservancy, and Rocky Mountain Institute.
Using data from USASpending.gov, Democracy Resorted found that federal agencies had obligated more than $600 million in taxpayer money to these organizations since July 1, 2024. The obligations began to drop the day after the election. Obligations to these same organizations since Nov. 5, 2024 fell to $246 million.
While various agencies were providing millions in support to these organizations, high-level officials within the agencies either went to work for them after Trump took office, or they had previously worked for them prior to assuming key roles at the agencies under Biden.
Shovels of money after debate debacle
The Department of Energy awarded the World Resources Institute a $1 million grant in August 2024. The funding would go toward training and collaboration in support of school bus fleet electrification. Jigar Shah, who was director of the Loans Programs Office within the DOE, is now a senior fellow at the World Resources Institute.
Jennifer Wilcox, who held the position of principal deputy assistant secretary at the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management at the Department of Energy, is also a senior fellow at the World Resources Institute. The institute is a global research organization focused on various sustainability and climate action initiatives.
"I think the money being shoveled out after President Biden's debate and the apparent revolving door of appointees going to recipients of these federal funds raises many questions about the timing of the money, the impact of special interests in the Biden administration and the general ethics surrounding this behavior," Houston Keene, director of Democracy Restored, told Just the News.

A year ago, Cong Pressley wrote on X that Pres Trump and Elon Musk “want to pillage the government and make themselves rich.”
What's rich is that this anti-capitalist went from a negative net worth before entering Congress to well over $8 million in cash and assets today. pic.twitter.com/LDpvTrBEUS

16 Willowed: The One Child policy has also led to a distorted investment market as parents and grandparents are depending on fewer kids to provide old age support. The government touted real estate investment, but that bubble has/is about to pop as corruption and mismanagement has made it certain that these plans won't work.

There is no private property in China. They are buying leases, but they cannot pass anything on. That's why the One Child policy is hard to get rid of: there's no point in having an inheritance if no one can inherit anything. Just live it up now.

The destruction of traditional family, the reviling of the "Four Olds" all left a mark.

Same as it ever was. Just the names change. So tired of having the government deciding who gets our hard-earned taxes.

On the other hand, we are fortunate enough to fund some of our own "charities" - a friend's daughter was recommended for a program this summer for kids who are doing really well in school. She will get to go to a college and take classes, live in a dorm, etc. as part of a summer program for middle school students. Unfortunately, the cost is out of reach for her widowed mother. So we have told them that if they are unable to get a scholarship, we will pick up the cost. We have known this young lady since before she was born. Her father died unexpectedly 10 years ago.

We would much rather spend on this deserving family than these wastrels in government.

The Appeal: Ayanna Pressley’s Husband Spent 10 Years in Prison. Now He and Pressley are Fighting for Re-entry Reform
For U.S. Representative Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, the issue of prison re-entry is personal: Both her father and husband went through it themselves. Last week, her husband, Conan Harris, testified before the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security on barriers to making a successful return from prison, drawing on his experience of reintegrating into his community after serving 10 years for drug trafficking.

When Pressley married Harris in 2014, he had already successfully reintegrated into the Boston community where he was raised. He had worked at Boston’s City Hall as a senior public safety adviser and would soon become executive director of My Brother’s Keeper Boston. And he had become an advocate for people like him who were struggling to restart their lives after a period of incarceration.

Harris and Pressley spoke with The Appeal about what the federal government’s role in re-entry should be, how Pressley is working to create pathways to success for

They actually have a "Freshman Orientation" where they get this big convention hall and the lobbiests have booth handing out swag and brochures telling the 'frosh' what is in it for them.
Numerous training seminars in creative accounting, advanced campaign finance law, general fiscal law, and limitations to RICO are also offered. Tips. Tricks. And Techniques.
Degrees of separation required in acquiring mass wealth, etc

Staff usually roll over from one retired member to the frosh so they get decades of experience in handling the grift and vig.

84 It's gotten worse. But why do most of them exist but to steal?

President Barack Obama has described the U.S. Constitution as a "living document" that must evolve and be interpreted in the context of an ever-changing world.

87 This is a problem with the military high brass as well. Generals and Admirals that are not in favor with the current administration retire and go right to work for a defense contractor (who, of course, bids on contracts). They use lower level contacts to sell for the Defense contractor. Then, when an administration arrives that they are in favor with, they come out of retirement and take up a leadership position once again.

This process was always the one I thought created all the animosity against Hegseth, because he came right out and said he'd like to disallow retiring brass the option to work with entities where they could benefit financially to grease defense contracts.

89 When Pressley married Harris in 2014, he had already successfully reintegrated into the Boston community where he was raised. He had worked at Boston’s City Hall as a senior public safety adviser and would soon become executive director of My Brother’s Keeper Boston. And he had become an advocate for people like him who were struggling to restart their lives after a period of incarceration.

You left out the part about not being a career criminal starting at age 11, and then demanding juvenile records being sealed, and creating “pathways for opportunity” once released from prison.

Bypassing and jumping to the head of the line over everyone who tried to do the right thing, stayed out of trouble, stayed in school, got married, etc.

Voluminous and detailed studies have been done for 80 years on “what makes people successful”. There are no secrets.

There are no guarantees of success, it isn’t easy, but there are plenty of easy ways to guarantee failure.

Progressives demand we subsidize all of them. Weird, init? Result is clown world, like we have now.

Arrest them in the dark of night, rendition them to some place far offshore, and give them an ultimatum: "Give up your ill-gotten gains, every last dime, at least as much as can be retrieved (the money spent on hookers and blow is gone for good), and we will let you live. In fact we will give you a $2000/month pension, and rent you a house in some obscure country. You can live there quietly until you die of old age. Come back to America, or talk to the press, or become politically active again, and you get a bullet in the brain. If you don't accept this generous offer, we will torture the information out of you, and then kill you. Your choice."

Government finances were just starting to hit the wall, and jiggery-pokery with accounting. “Unified Budget” of 1968. By any sane measurement, every social metric - the family, church attendance, out of wedlock births, “welfare”, quality of public education and the universities, etc was far superior.

The violence may have been worse then, but the potential now? I’m not sure it’s comparable anyhow. I think it won’t take much of a spark, probably financial or currency related, to permanently end “the 60’s were worse!” canard. Hope I’m wrong. It would be Biblical, no question about that.
