We need a general tweet of the day thread

Grifters gonna grift. Ten dollars a year is hilarious, too.


Breaking: The Obama Presidential Center—now an $850M concrete Taj Mahal on public parkland—proves hope & change was really just “hope you don’t notice the change in our bank accounts.”

Valerie Jarrett, eternal Obama whisperer, “earned” $740K as CEO in 2024. That’s right—$740,000 to run a nonprofit that’s basically a retirement spa for the old crew.

Meanwhile, the foundation snagged 19.3 acres of prime Chicago’s Jackson Park for a cool $10/year on a 99-year lease. Because nothing says “public service” like handing over irreplaceable green space to your buddies for pocket change while taxpayers foot hidden infrastructure bills elsewhere. Classic Chicago math: 99 years × $10 = priceless giveaway.

Top brass? Packed with ex-Obama WH alums pulling $300K–$600K+ each. Payroll ballooned from $18.5M (2018) to $43.7M (2024). Staffing hit 337. It’s not a foundation—it’s a loyalty rewards program disguised as a museum. Who needs archives when you can have six-figure sinecures?

Illinois GOP calls it corruption. I call it the audacity of dope.
 
The real grift outside of the salaries in non-profit world is on the consulting side. Valerie no doubt has some sort of side business consulting LLC where she’ll get business from her friend’s non-profit and then will give her friends LLC business out of her non-profit. That’s how they get the real cash out of them. It’s legal money laundering.

Typically has been federal taxpayer money laundered through 501cs and NGOs. It is why Democrats put up such a fight over the relatively low dollar amounts handed out by USAID with no accountability attached.

Which is also why they treated the fired USAID workers as war heroes and made such a show of it for their media to parrot.
 
Quite the ROI on this "investment". Why dems can never get back into power. America Last.

Clearly nothing can be done and anyway its Trump's fault. There is one upside. The perp clearly cares about public health and he is wearing a mask at a hearing.

Parolee With 131 Priors Caught After Setting Homeless Man on Fire in Mamdani’s NYC​

Catch-and-release is succeeding…or failing spectacularly in New York City depending on your perspective. Thanks to Democrat control in Gotham and Albany, the latest horror show demonstrates how the people who voted for soft-on-crime politicians are getting exactly what they voted for, good and hard.

Our latest poster child for ending progressive “catch and release” is Damon Johnson, 47, a one-man crime spree. He’s racked up a jaw-dropping 131 prior arrests in New York City since his first bust back in 1995 And those are just the crimes the cops caught him (allegedly) committing. Yet thanks to Team Soros prosecutors and suicidally compassionate politicians, Johnson was still roaming free, albeit on parole. His latest sociopathic offense: he allegedly crouched over a sleeping 37-year-old homeless man at Penn Station and set him on fire just for kicks.
