A guy who was indicted for bribery and corruption 5 years has been indicted for bribery and corruption.
Are we going to learn of a scam that is along the lines of Bernie Madoff, Lincoln Savings and Loan, and Enron? I’m think yes but no one will do anything about it.
And even a blind squirrel gets a nut. I’m talking about the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, getting something right.
Dumbasses of the Day
The Team Sucks Too
According to ABC 7 News, Chicago:
The estimated loss is over $100,000.
It happened sometime overnight on Wednesday.
Staff said the thieves tore down a security fence to drive the equipment out of the garage.
Criminals are so brazen in Chicago, they pull this? They stole lawn mowers, for God’s sake.

Who’s Have Thunk It?
According to the Daily Wire:
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and his wife Nadine have been indicted on bribery charges, according to the Department of Justice.
The indictment comes after U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams opened a corruption investigation last October into Menendez, who has been in the Senate since 2006 and is chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Menendez faces charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, and conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official right.
This guy was accused of the same thing in 2015 and went to court. The jury hung and the case was just dropped.
He is accused of taking gold, cars, jobs for family members, mortgage payments and cash in exchange for access by foreign officials (like jobs), policy manipulation and the transfer of classified information. By the way, that makes this treason which is a death penalty level case.
The evidence is pretty damning this time. They have money, gold and cars. They also have DNA evidence (not sure how that works) and, since they know he was dealing directly with Egypt, they probably have witness testimony and communications.
This whole thing was started because he was being investigated for having sex with underage girls in the Dominican Republic.
This is a classy guy and is proof as to why we need term limits for politicians.

You Mean is Was a Scam?
According to the Daily Wire:
Boston University announced Wednesday that it would conduct an “inquiry” into Dr. Ibram X. Kendi’s Center for Antiracist Research amid complaints about its culture.
The inquiry will be a broader version of a previous “examination,” looking at the center’s grant management practices, a spokesperson for Boston University told The Boston Globe.
The inquiry also comes shortly after layoffs at the center. Kendi recently laid off about 20 employees, more than half the center’s staff, the university confirmed last week.
Kendi, a prominent critical race theory scholar, has become an influential voice on “antiracism” over the last several years, especially after his book, “How to Be an Antiracist,” became a New York Times bestseller in 2020 in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
He has drawn criticism for promoting the theory that all racial disparities are due to racism. Kendi has also faced criticism for his book “Antiracist Baby,” a children’s picture book that introduces children to the concept of antiracism.
Some things:
- His birthname was Henry Rogers. He changed it for his brand.
- He had a mediocre academic career.
- He graduated high school with under a 3.0 GPA.
- Had a 1000 on his SATs.
- Some considered him an underachiever. I think it’s because he’s dumb (see the audio below).
- He was an affirmative action pick to get into college and worked it all the way to his doctrate.
- He’s mainly known for his book, How to be an Antiracist, which basically says:
- Every white person is racist and oppressive.
- The system is racist and oppressive.
- Everything is based on a system of power, the more power you have the more racist you are.
- Because blacks have no power in society they can never be racist.
- Every policy he does not like is racist. Every system must be torn down.
- Discrimination against white people is necessary to be antiracist.
- He never defines a goal. This could go on forever.
- He started an antiracist research center at Boston University around the time of the George Floyd riots.
- He received in the vicinity of $40 million in donation from some very high profile characters.
- They burned through that money, only produced two research papers and canned half their staff.
- Everyone is wondering where the money went.
Well, we know where the money went. It’s sitting in Henry Rogers’ pocket. He should be in prison along with all the other race grifters.
Here is Kendi defining racism:

He’s Dumb But He Has His Moments
O have to say, I’m a little surprised about this.
According to the New York Post:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have pushed parents to “affirm” the gender identities of trans children — bowing to statewide pressure from parents and high-powered critics such as Elon Musk, who called it “utter madness.”
“I share a deep commitment to advancing the rights of transgender Californians, an effort that has guided my decisions through many decades in public office,” the lefty governor wrote in a message issued late Friday amid a flurry of other vetoes.
But the law, he said, would have created a new legal standard “in prescriptive terms that single out one characteristic,” the Sacramento Bee reported.
The measure, Assembly Bill 957, would have told judges to weigh parents’ support of their child’s “gender identity or gender expression” when determining custody or setting visitation rights — a change that Musk, the estranged father of a trans child, decried as “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
Scott Weiner, creator of the bill whose gay (and likes BDSM among other fetishes) and doesn’t have any kids said:
Called Newsom’s rejection “a tragedy for trans kids here & around the country.”
“These kids are living in fear, with right wing politicians working to out them, deny them health care, ban them from sports & restrooms & erase their humanity.”
Let’s be honest, Newsom isn’t doing this because he’s a highly moral and reasonable human being. In fact, he believes this bill should have been passed and would have signed it into law any other time. He didn’t because this would be used against him when he runs for president.
