George Soros built a political empire by staying in the shadows.
His billions moved through nonprofit networks that nobody could touch.
And George Soros has one big problem that could bring everything crashing down.
Trump Administration Turns IRS Into Criminal Investigation Tool
The Trump Administration announced plans to use the Internal Revenue Service as an investigative weapon against Antifa funding networks.¹
Government Accountability Institute president Peter Schweizer revealed that many activist groups hide behind tax-exempt nonprofit status while receiving money from large grant-giving foundations.¹
The key to unraveling the entire operation sits in public view – IRS Form 990 disclosures that every nonprofit must file.¹
“So they’re required to disclose to the IRS and something called a 990 form,” Schweizer explained during a Sinclair Broadcasting interview. “So you can trace a lot of the money that way.”¹
These 990 forms require nonprofits to reveal every grant they receive, every dollar they spend, and every organization they fund.²⁰
The forms remain publicly available for three years.²⁰
Nobody ever weaponized this information against the radical left’s funding machine until now.
Schweizer acknowledged the money trail isn’t always complete.¹
But researchers can piece together enough evidence to show who’s funding violence in American streets.¹
“The information that comes out is not always a complete picture, but I think it’s a pretty good indicator of who the money is coming from and who is receiving the money and what they’re using it for,” Schweizer stated.¹
At President Trump’s Antifa roundtable last week, Schweizer’s colleague Seamus Bruner shared findings that shocked administration officials.¹
Capital Research Center Exposes $80 Million Pipeline to Extremist Groups
The Capital Research Center dropped a bombshell report revealing George Soros’s Open Society Foundations funneled more than $80 million to groups “tied to terrorism or extremist violence.”¹⁰
At least $23 million went directly to seven organizations that “assist domestic terrorism and criminality” in America.¹⁰
These groups engaged in or provided material support for “violence, property destruction, economic sabotage, harassment” that meets the legal definition of domestic terrorism.¹⁰
The Sunrise Movement alone received at least $2 million from Open Society.¹⁰
That organization endorsed and solicited financial support for Antifa-associated groups like the Stop Cop City coalition.¹⁰
Stop Cop City activists threw Molotov cocktails at police, set construction equipment on fire, and attacked law enforcement with bricks and rocks.¹⁰
The Sunrise Movement urged supporters to donate to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund.¹⁰
Prosecutors allege that fund provided money for ammunition, surveillance equipment, handheld radios, a drone, and camping supplies for violent activists.¹⁰
“The Fund admits it posts bail and provides legal defenses for the arrested protestors,” the report stated.¹⁰
Bruner identified what he calls “Riot Inc.” – dozens of radical organizations that received more than $100 million from major left-wing donors.¹¹
His investigations showed coordination across cities like Portland, Seattle, and Chicago involving people who were paid to participate in unrest.¹¹
Bruner named George Soros’s Open Society Foundations as a major funding source, along with the Arabella Funding Network, the Tides Funding Network, and Neville Roy Singham’s network.¹¹ˑ¹⁶
RICO Charges Loom as Trump Deploys Financial Warfare Against the Left
Attorney General Pam Bondi is discussing bringing federal RICO charges against organizations and their donors.¹⁰
RICO – the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act – was designed to dismantle organized crime enterprises.³⁰
The statute allows prosecutors to target not just individual criminals, but entire networks of people working together.³⁴
Here’s what makes RICO so devastating: it unlocks asset forfeiture powers that traditional terrorism statutes don’t provide.³⁰
The federal government can seize bank accounts, properties, and investments before anyone gets convicted.³⁰
RICO requires prosecutors to prove an enterprise existed, that it affected interstate commerce, and that defendants engaged in a pattern of racketeering through at least two criminal acts within ten years.³⁴
Funding domestic terrorism qualifies as racketeering activity under federal law.³⁴
The Capital Research Center report argues Open Society’s tax exemptions are at risk because it funds “groups that brazenly acknowledge their prohibited behavior.”¹⁰
When nonprofits lose tax-exempt status, they die.
Donations dry up because contributors can’t write them off.
Operating costs skyrocket because they now owe taxes.
Bruner urged federal authorities to use RICO statutes to target the funding networks.¹⁶
He said the IRS and Office of Management and Budget should review or revoke tax-exempt status for nonprofits misusing charitable funds.¹⁶
If agencies find funding supports criminal activity, they can force organizations to open their books and justify every grant.¹⁶
Georgia already set the template.
In September 2023, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr indicted 61 people under the state’s RICO law for opposing construction of the Atlanta police training facility activists call “Cop City.”³¹ˑ³⁵
Three Atlanta Solidarity Fund board members were arrested by a heavily armed SWAT team and charged with money laundering and charity fraud for posting bail for arrested protesters.³¹
Those three bail fund organizers also faced RICO charges carrying up to 20 years in prison.³¹ˑ³⁵
The Georgia case shows prosecutors can use RICO to target not just violent activists, but the financial networks that sustain them.³¹
President Trump has discussed applying RICO to Soros personally.¹³ˑ¹⁴
“Soros is a name certainly that I keep hearing,” Trump said when asked about targets for the domestic terrorism investigation. “I don’t know. Soros is a name that I hear.”¹³
Trump told Fox & Friends he wants the Department of Justice to build a RICO case against Soros and “professional agitators” on the left.¹⁴
Vice President JD Vance made the stakes crystal clear: “go after the NGO network that foments, facilitates and engages in violence.”¹⁵
Vance specifically named the Open Society Foundations and Ford Foundation as targets.¹⁵
Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Gave Trump the Political Cover He Needed
The timing isn’t coincidental.
Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization on September 22, 2025 – less than two weeks after assassin Tyler Robinson murdered conservative icon Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.
Kirk’s assassination shocked the nation and crystallized public anger at left-wing political violence.
Trump ordered flags flown at half-staff and hosted a memorial edition of The Charlie Kirk Show at the White House.
Sports leagues from the NFL to NASCAR held moments of silence.
Vice President Vance delivered a powerful speech: “If it weren’t for Charlie Kirk, I would not be the Vice President of the United States.”
Attorney General Bondi vowed to use “every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and throughout this government, to identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks.”
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller promised: “We will do it in Charlie’s name.”
The assassination gave Trump the political capital to launch an unprecedented crackdown on the radical left’s funding infrastructure.
Kirk spent years warning about organizations like Antifa and calling for investigations into their backers.
Now Trump is fulfilling that mission.
Some very nervous nonprofit organizations are about to find out who’s been pulling the strings.
The money trail leads straight to George Soros’s doorstep.
And this time, the federal government has the tools to follow it all the way to criminal indictments.

This is fraud from start to finish and should be treated as a crime on the American people. Knowing the politicians, they wouldn’t be able to stomach any disagreement. What did they say about Comey – why he didn’t do anything but weaponize the government/corruption/etc., per DOGE. Could DOGE be a character witness?
Don’t kid yourself – Obama/Susan Rice were in on this deception in our voting process – big time!
President Donald Trump dedicated his second administration to securing the border, making America great again, and nuking the Deep State. He’s already brought illegal immigration to an end—and now a startling new report shows, he’s saved taxpayers an enormous amount of money just by being himself.
It turns out, American saved big by getting rid of President Biden. Not Joe, the real one: “Doctor” Jill.
The last two Democratic administrations had beefed up the number of staffers and “advisers” who told the first lady what to think about policy because—even though no one elected them—Michelle Obama and Jill Biden wanted to have a hand in running the country.
But First Lady Melania Trump slashed the staff down to just five employees, costing just $634,200.
Americans saved $1.7 million just because President Trump is actually the president.
“Under past administrations, the First Lady’s office has evolved into a mini-agency, with salaries and travel costs rivaling those of federal agencies, with little oversight,” said Demian Brady of the National Taxpayers Union Foundation. “Melania Trump’s return to a smaller staff offers a reminder that a more limited approach is not only possible but preferable.”
Of course, having a president with functioning mental acuity is also preferable to the circus of the last four years.
Taxpayers paid mightily for electing a president who had to be stage-managed by the Easter Bunny. Now that America has a real, live commander-in-chief again, Trump is saving taxpayers the cost of having two (or three) presidents.
The Biden family never played coy about how Jill Biden ran much of her hubby’s administration.
Last fall, when Joe Biden held first Cabinet meeting in almost a year, he gave her the first word. “It’s all yours, kid,” he told his wife.
“A visibly exhausted Joe Biden just held a full Cabinet meeting for the first time in 11 months and immediately turned the mic over to his wife, Jill,” said Steve Cortes, a conservative commentator and the founder of the League of American Workers. “Who is running the country?”
Even the seating chart showed Americans watching the unsightly spectacle unfold that, whoever held the reins in the White House, it wasn’t Joe Biden.
At the September 20 Cabinet meeting, Jill sat at the head of the table, as the elected president of the United States looked on from his seat far at the other end, hidden anonymously among the assembled cast of secretaries.
The signs were obvious to all. White House folders holding honorary copies of the administration’s signature legislation were emblazoned with Jill Biden’s signature, right below Joe’s.
Not only did Jill Biden get the upper hand as Joe sank into dementia, but so did Anthony Bernal, the first lady’s chief of staff and senior advisor.
“He quickly bonded with Jill Biden and never left her side, becoming unflinchingly loyal to her and using his proximity to her to exert power wherever he decided,” wrote Wall Street Journal reporter Josh Dawsey and two Fake News media reporters in their new book, 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America. “It was often unclear if the opinion he was expressing was his own or the first lady’s.”
Last month, Bernal took the Fifth when asked about the autopen controversy…but you don’t need insider accounts to know Jill Biden held sway over her nearly debilitated husband.
After his June 27 debate against Trump showed the whole world Joe Biden was nothing but a broken and defeated man, the Biden family huddled at Camp David—and it soon became clear that dropping out of the presidential race “was not even a consideration,” wrote Dawsey.
Joe and Jill Biden cooked up the story that he only had a bad night because of a cold, and he needed more sleep.
As soon as Joe walked off the debate stage, he supposedly told his wife, “‘You know, Jill, I don’t know what happened. I didn’t feel that great,’” the first lady told a New York fundraiser the day after the Democrats’ debate debacle.
But she told donors to cough up more money—because she had laid down the law: They’re staying in the White House.
“I said, ‘Look, Joe, we are not going to let 90 minutes define the four years that you’ve been president,’” Jill said.
It wasn’t the first time Jill made decisions about whether or not the Biden family would serve as co-presidents.When Democrats tried to convince Joe to run against President George W. Bush in 2004, she was dead set against it.
According to her autobiography, Where the Light Enters, a bikini-clad Jill Biden walked up to the president and wrote “NO” on his stomach with a magic marker.
When he couldn’t make up his mind about running four years later—in the bid that eventually won him the vice presidential slot—Jill Biden laid down the law: They were running for president in 2008.
“She called a family meeting and told her husband it had been decided, he was to run,” reported the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Jill admitted as much, writing, “He was ready, we were ready, and we weren’t taking ‘maybe next time’ for an answer.”
The very first year. On June 21, 2021—almost six months to the day Joe Biden “became president”—Jill Biden posted a picture of herself sitting behind the president’s desk on Air Force One, poring over a bulging folder, newspapers, and reports scattered around her.
Jill bragged she was “(p)repping for the G7,” a summit of the world’s seven top superpowers: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the U.“Where’s Joe?” asked the social media account of House Republicans.
Probably wiping magic marker off his stomach—just as Americans are wiping egg off our faces.
The latest savings, which chipped away at the influence of unelected officials and put money back in your pocket, shows that electing a functional president pays.
Think about all of the money that is in the pipeline for this. That is why they participate. They are PAID to participate.
Don’t forget who caused the suffering – the Democrats Socialists. Suffering now is part of the recovery process. You get to reap what they sowed. Remember that when you vote. The left is not for the U.S. they are progressives/socialists who want to RULE your life.
Thousands show up for ‘No Kings’ protests across Ohio
Jeff LaRe, R-Violet Twp., is the State Representative for the Ohio House 73rd District.
In the grand theater of American politics, the “No Kings” protests that swept media stations last weekend stand out not for their revolutionary passion but for their sheer opulence.
People gathered in cities across the country, waving signs and chanting slogans against perceived authoritarianism in the Trump administration.
Organized by groups like No Kings Movement, these demonstrations were billed as a defense of democracy, with crowds decrying everything from presidential policies to the drift toward what they call tyranny.
But let’s pause and reflect: these protests weren’t acts of desperate rebellion; they were luxuries fit for kings.
There are threats, but not from king
Consider the comfort that surrounded these gatherings. Protesters marched freely, unafraid of violence or reprisal. Prominent Democrats joined crowds without risk, knowing their involvement carried political reward, not danger. That sense of safety stands in stark contrast to the threats faced by conservatives and Republicans this year/
Take Florida Rep. Kat Cammack, who evacuated her offices in June after receiving dozens of credible death threats targeting her, her unborn child, her family, and her staff.
Or consider U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson’s warnings about the escalating threats to lawmakers, some of which are right here in Ohio. This reflects a climate where dissenting voices, particularly those on the right, face real danger.
The contrast becomes even starker when we recall public events.
Conservatives facing threats of violence
At the rally last year in Butler, Pennsylvania, attendees found themselves literally in the line of fire during an assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.
More recently, the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk sparked a wave of reprisal threats and arrests, underscoring the ongoing dangers conservatives face for speaking out.
Even events hosted by conservative organizations now unfold under heavy security. Yet, the “No Kings” crowds roamed the streets carefree.
No stabbings, no gunfire, just the freedom to vent political outrage in comfort and safety. If that’s not royal treatment, what is?
That same privilege extends to Washington’s political gamesmanship.
The ongoing government shutdown, now fast approaching 30 days, didn’t arise from fiscal discipline but from Senate Democrats’ refusal to pass a clean funding bill.
They are shouting no king while Americans suffer.
(True, but blame Biden/Obama/Democrats who strapped a trillion dollar debt on your back. The President is working 24/7 to make the correction. Make a difference by voting for a conservative._
Veterans’ health payments are stalled. Border patrol agents and service members are living paycheck to paycheck.
SNAP benefits for families in need could run out by November 1. Yet leaders like Chuck Schumer still posture from their podiums, shouting “no kings” while holding America’s workers, heroes, and families hostage to their political theater. The irony is rich: those decrying monarchy are the ones exercising the power to rule.
Let’s be clear, there were no kings in America before October 18, and there are none after. Our republic rests on law, not royal command.
The closest we’ve come to a true “kingly” moment was Election Day 2024, when the people themselves spoke. That message was clear.
Voters rejected open borders and endless giveaways, calling for a government that prioritizes its citizens over outsiders. The voters want to put America first.
Yet that mandate now sits stalled in the halls of Congress, blocked by a shutdown driven by priorities that put noncitizens first. Holding the livelihoods of those who protect and serve hostage to politics is not leadership; it’s dysfunction.
America needs a reset. (It is in the process of a reset which takes time. It took the Democrats 12 years starting with Obama/Biden. Remember DOGE?)
Still, there’s an opportunity amid the dysfunction. As Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought has argued, this shutdown can be more than a stalemate; it can be a reset. It’s a chance to strip out waste, reform bloated agencies, and restore accountability to government. Why fund overseas programs like locust reduction in Africa when our own borders are unsecured and veterans wait for care? This isn’t chaos; it’s correction.
The “No Kings” protests, then, raise a deeper question: who’s really acting like royalty here? The protesters marching safely under police protection, demanding more spending for outsiders, while ordinary Americans feel the pain of their policies? Or the citizens and lawmakers fighting to keep faith with the voters who demanded change?
America isn’t a kingdom. It’s a republic built on equality under law, not privilege under protest.
If we’re serious about “no kings,” let’s start by dethroning the entitlement in Washington and returning power where it belongs to the people.
No Kings protest organizers were terrified of the public discovering this ugly truth
October 20, 2025

Protesters flooded American streets last weekend claiming to stand against “kings and billionaires.”
But organizers didn’t want anyone digging into who was actually funding the operation.
And No Kings protest organizers were terrified of the public discovering this ugly truth about their billionaire backers.
The second round of “No Kings” protests kicked off nationwide
Saturday marked the second wave of so-called “No Kings” protests, with demonstrators gathering in more than 2,500 locations across all 50 states.¹
Organizers claimed millions turned out to protest what they called President Trump’s “authoritarian” policies.²
The movement markets itself as grassroots resistance to billionaire influence and monarchical power.
But investigative research from Peter Schweizer and Seamus Bruner of the Government Accountability Institute exposed a very different reality.
These supposedly spontaneous demonstrations are actually a professionalized protest-industrial complex funded by the exact billionaire networks the protesters claim to oppose.³
The “No Kings” banner sounds noble enough — no thrones, no crowns, no kings.
Yet the people waving anti-billionaire signs have no idea who’s actually paying for their buses, their training sessions, and their protest materials.
Follow the money trail and you’ll find George Soros and friends
Schweizer and Bruner traced a staggering $294,487,641 flowing to official “No Kings 2.0” partners and organizers.⁴
The money came through the same dark-money networks that have been financing left-wing activism for years.
The breakdown tells you everything you need to know about who’s really pulling the strings.
The Arabella network kicked in more than $79.7 million.⁵
George Soros’s Open Society network added $72.1 million.⁶
The Ford Foundation network contributed $51.7 million, while the Tides network pumped in $45.5 million.⁷
The Rockefeller network added $28.6 million, and Warren Buffett’s network threw in another $16.6 million.⁸
“Obviously No Kings 2.0 isn’t grassroots,” Bruner wrote on X. “This level of coordination takes serious cash.”⁹
The protesters are holding up anti-billionaire signs funded by billionaires.
Either they’re being dishonest or they’re completely ignorant about who’s actually financing their movement.
The Arabella network operates as the Left’s dark-money machine
The Arabella Advisors network has perfected the art of disguising political operations as grassroots movements.¹⁰
The Atlantic once called Arabella’s Sixteen Thirty Fund the “indisputable heavyweight of Democratic dark money.”¹¹
The network raised over $1.3 billion in anonymous donations in 2023 alone, then distributed nearly $1.5 billion to other organizations.¹²
Three massive funds funnel billionaire cash to professional protest groups — the New Venture Fund, the Hopewell Fund, and the Windward Fund.¹³
These fiscal sponsors create shell nonprofits that generate countless sub-projects with noble-sounding names but zero accountability to the public.
The organizational structure is deliberately designed to obscure money trails and hide who’s making decisions.
Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss has dumped more than $245 million into Arabella, making him the largest foreign financier of America’s protest complex.¹⁴
Bill Gates’s foundation added over $100 million to the Arabella-Tides-Ford network backing this weekend’s protests.¹⁵
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff threw in another $20 million-plus.¹⁶
Authentic grassroots movements run on shoestring budgets with disorganized volunteers who argue about strategy.
The “No Kings” operation runs like a Fortune 500 company with professional staff, coordinated messaging, and hundreds of millions in the bank.
Indivisible runs the show with billionaire backing
The Indivisible organization coordinates “No Kings” demonstrations while managing data and communications with participants.¹⁷
Led by activists Ezra Levin and his wife Leah Greenberg, Indivisible has organized numerous anti-Trump protests since 2017.¹⁸
Soros’s Open Society network has provided at least $7.61 million directly to Indivisible since 2017, while Wyss’s political action fund funneled $2.5 million to the operation.²⁰
LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman funded Indivisible’s “Truth Brigade,” and the Tides network has contributed more than $3 million.²¹
The connections to Soros run even deeper than the direct funding.
Tom Perriello served as executive director of the Open Society Foundations from October 2018 to July 2023.²²
Leah Greenberg previously worked as policy director for Perriello’s failed 2017 campaign for Governor of Virginia.²³
The web of relationships reveals a tight-knit network of professional activists recycling through the same organizations.
Republicans called out the coordinated operation
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) was among the first to sound the alarm about Soros connections.
“There’s considerable evidence that George Soros and his network are behind funding these rallies, which may well be riots all across the country,” Cruz told Fox News.²⁴
Cruz introduced legislation in July that would allow the Justice Department to impose RICO charges against individuals funding violent protests.²⁵
House Speaker Mike Johnson branded the demonstrations a “Hate America Rally” and said he expected the crowd would include “pro-Hamas supporters” and “Antifa types.”²⁶
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy claimed the protests are “part of Antifa.”²⁷
President Trump dismissed questions about the rallies when asked by Fox News.
“They’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king,” Trump said.²⁸
Republican governors prepared for potential violence by deploying National Guard troops.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott directed the Department of Public Safety and National Guard “to surge forces into Austin ahead of an Antifa-linked protest,” writing on X that “Texas will NOT tolerate chaos.”²⁹
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin authorized state active duty training for the Guard “to help ensure the Guard will be ready to respond if needed to keep people safe.”³⁰
The protest-industrial complex operates like information warfare
The coordination is too smooth, the branding too professional, and the timing too strategic for this to be spontaneous.
Professional agitators don’t just show up spontaneously with matching signs, trained organizers, and coordinated media strategies.
Someone pays for the buses, the training sessions, the digital advertising, and the signage.
Real grassroots movements struggle for funding and deal with messy internal disagreements.
The “No Kings” operation runs like a well-oiled corporate machine because that’s exactly what it is.
The playbook mirrors color revolutions overseas — Western NGOs pulling strings with money, media, and messaging working in perfect sync.³¹
The 2020 summer protests followed similar patterns, with millions flowing into bail funds tied to political PACs.³²
Election-year civic engagement drives always hit the same swing states with the same donors behind them.
Former Lieutenant General Michael Flynn nailed it when he described what’s really happening.
“What is presented as a grassroots movement is instead a hollow spectacle driven by a web of dark money and hidden agendas,” Flynn wrote.³³
Nearly $300 million from Arabella and Soros networks doesn’t buy genuine activism — it buys manufactured outrage with professional organizers reading from the same script.
The organizers hyped massive turnout numbers
Organizers claimed more than 5 million people showed up for the first round of protests back in June.³⁴
By Saturday they were predicting even bigger crowds, billing it as potentially the “largest protest in US history.”³⁵
Approximately 200 organizations partnered for the October protests, including the ACLU, American Federation of Teachers, MoveOn, and United We Dream.³⁶
Events took place from major cities to small towns with populations under 3,000 people.³⁷
But here’s what the organizers don’t want you to know.
The first “No Kings” protests in June drew attention primarily because they coincided with Trump’s military parade celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary.³⁸
By October, nobody cared anymore and media outlets struggled to generate the same buzz.
When you’re running a corporate-style operation instead of a real movement, the energy fizzles out fast.
The irony couldn’t be more obvious
A movement calling itself “No Kings” and claiming to oppose billionaire influence is completely bankrolled by billionaire kings.
The protesters holding anti-billionaire signs are literally being paid for by George Soros, Bill Gates, and other mega-wealthy donors.
One faction of billionaires simply hates another faction of billionaires.
So they fund their nonprofit soldiers to create a front group, brand it with an appealing name, and deploy an army of paid protesters.
This is the permanent protest-industrial complex in 2025 — manufactured outrage financed by the very elite class the demonstrators claim to oppose.
The “grassroots” activists are either being lied to or they’re willfully ignorant about who’s actually funding their movement.
Either way, Americans deserve to know the truth about who’s really pulling the strings behind these coordinated demonstrations.

Thank you Senator Cotton. Our folks have forgotten about the rotten tomatoes and the DOGE Democrats who added trillions of debt and nothing to show for it except corruption and hate for our country. Keep up the good work and speaking to the people to keep their hopes/dreams alive.
As far as the donation, I just finished buying a new computer after the lefties crashed and gave me a blue line after I published the Charlie Kirk Obit. Also, 6,000 emails and 150 texts asking for donations. My budget is also limited.

On Saturday, while ordinary Arkansans and Americans watched college football and enjoyed the weekend, radical leftists in cities across the country held their little “No Kings” protests.
Remember, those protests are why Chuck Schumer shut down the government.
He did it so he wouldn’t get booed and because he’s terrified of a primary challenge from AOC.
(The scary part is that Schumer has lost site of the Constitution in his old age and AOC is now pulling the progressive wagon with Sanders/plus four/Hamas terrorists and the communist person running in New York. What are the people of New York thinking? Do they realize they will lose their freedom?)
He harmed Arkansans to save himself, and Senate Democrats have been happy to go along with him.
Schumer’s response is saying “every day gets better” for Democrats since the shutdown.
It’s not getting better for troops and LEOs going without pay, or Arkansas parents who can’t get what they need to care for their kids.
I’ve asked you to chip in to stop Schumer and the Democrats from taking back the Senate.
Mr. Soros missed his chance to bring our country together instead of trying to divide it by holding this NO KINGS RALLY.
What are his intentions?
He could have asked for a meeting with President Trump and worked this out and could have come out on top. Instead he chose a side – so does that puts him in a precarious position?
Is he still fighting WWII? Or, is he a trouble-maker just welding his money all over the world.
Soros’ nonprofit donations don’t always go directly to political causes. The funds sometimes flow from one of his nonprofits, then to another, before being spent on the advertising, organizing and social media campaigns that directly reach voters.
Many of the Open Society Policy Center’s 2021 donations weren’t necessarily earmarked to help sway the midterm elections, according to the foundation’s website. At the same time, Tom Watson, an editorial director at the Open Society Foundations, conceded in an email to CNBC that “there are definitely some OSPC grants that went to organizations working to combat voter suppression, support voter registration and expand civic participation.” Those are all core Democratic principles.
Americans for Public Trust executive director Caitlin Sutherland sounds the alarm on the ‘dark money’ purportedly paying for Democrats’ protests on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’

FIRST ON FOX: George Soros’ foundations are funding the “No Kings” protests that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and tens of thousands of protesters will be participating in on Saturday.
Soros, a billionaire investor and notorious Democratic Party donor, is founder of the Open Society Foundations.
In 2023, the foundation, through the Open Society Action Fund, issued a two-year grant of $3 million to the Indivisible organization. The grant was “to support the grantee’s social welfare activities,” according to the Open Society Foundation’s website.
Indivisible is “managing data and communications with participants” for the “No Kings” protests that will be taking place in Washington and across the country.

Per the Open Society Foundations’ website, Soros “has given away more than $32 billion of his personal fortune” to the foundations. His son Alex serves as chairman of the board.
According to the Indivisible organization’s website, Ezra Levin is the executive co-director behind the group. Leah Greenberg, Levin’s wife, serves as the other executive co-director.
Greenberg formerly served as the policy director for the Tom Perriello for Governor of Virginia campaign. Perriello was the executive director for the Open Society Foundations from October 2018 to July 2023, furthering the ties between Soros and the Indivisible organization.
In 2017, Indivisible received a $350,000 grant from Tides Advocacy, a group affiliated with the Tides Network. The Tides Foundation, a foundation also affiliated with the Tides Network, has been accused of funding anti-Israel campus riots.
The grant report for 2024 was not available on the IRS’ nor the Open Society Foundations’ websites, though Soros’ foundations have awarded grants to Indivisible every year since the organization’s conception in 2017. In total, the Open Society Foundations have awarded $7.61 million in grants to the group behind the “No Kings” protest.

“We support a wide range of independent organizations that work to deepen civic engagement through peaceful democratic participation, a hallmark of any vibrant society and a right protected by the Constitution,” a spokesperson for the Open Society Foundations told Fox News Ditigal. “Our grantees make their own decisions about their work, consistent with the law and the terms of their grant agreements.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Perriello, the Indivisible group, and the Tides Network but did not receive responses in time for publication.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was the first to sound the alarm on ties between Soros and the “No Kings” protest during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday, saying “There’s considerable evidence that George Soros and his network are behind funding these rallies, which may well be riots all across the country.”
Cruz introduced the Financial Underwriting of Nefarious Demonstrations and Extremist Riots (STOP FUNDERs) Act in July that would allow for the Department of Justice to impose Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charges against individuals behind the funding of “violent” and “extreme” protests.

“This politicized march is being organized by Soros operatives and funded by Soros money. No one denies these basic facts,” Cruz told Fox News Digital. “The Trump administration and the Republican Congress are committed to countering this network of left-wing violence.”
Per the Indivisible website, “On October 18, millions of us are rising again” to protest in an effort to paint President Donald Trump as a tyrant and an authoritarian king.
Schumer announced on Thursday that he would be attending the protest, saying he “will join the marchers, to celebrate what makes this country so great” and encouraged peaceful demonstrations.
A statement from the Open Society Foundations website says that they don’t pay, train, or coordinate protesters, and that “the Open Society Foundations oppose all forms of violence, including violent protests.”

“Protests can be strenuous and intense,” the “How to Prepare for a Protest” section of the Indivisible website reads.
“They are most effective when we peacefully use our constitutionally protected rights of assembly and speech and properly prepare ahead of time,” the website continued.
On September 27, 2012, Soros announced that he was donating $1 million to the super PAC backing President Barack Obama‘s reelection Priorities USA Action.[95] In October 2013, Soros donated $25,000 to Ready for Hillary, becoming a co-chairman of the super PAC’s national finance committee.[96] In June 2015, he donated $1 million to the Super PAC Priorities USA Action, which supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race. He donated $6 million to the PAC in December 2015 and $2.5 million in August 2016.[97] Soros launched a new super PAC called Democracy PAC for the 2020 election cycle. By July 2019, he had donated $5.1 million to it.[98]
Since 2016, Soros has been donating sums exceeding $1 million to the campaigns of progressive criminal justice reform proponents through the Safety and Justice PAC in local district attorney elections. In many districts, such large contributions were unprecedented and the campaigning strategy was “turned on its head” with a focus on incarceration, police misconduct and bail system, according to the Los Angeles Times.[99][100]Larry Krasner was elected as the District Attorney of Philadelphia with the help of a $1.5 million ad campaign funded by Soros in 2017.[101] Soros was the largest donor supporting the campaign of George Gascón for Los Angeles County District Attorney in 2020, contributing $2.25 million to superPACs in Gascón’s favor.[102] Soros gave $2 million to a PAC supporting Kim Foxx‘s campaign for Cook County State’s Attorney in 2020.[103]
In the second quarter of 2020, Soros gave at least $500,000 to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, becoming one of the campaign’s largest donors.[104]
For the 2022 United States elections, Soros was the country’s largest donor. He donated $128.5 millionto support the Democratic Party in the election cycle.[105]
We didn’t vote for Obama nor Biden. The voters got what they asked for 12 years and we are now paying/suffering while President Trump is trying to fix what the Democrats broke.
It took 12 years for Biden/Obama to take our country where it never had been per DOGE. Question: Where was this gentle man while the destruction/corruption/printing money to the tune of trillions was taking place as DOGE PROVED? The left is calling out President Trump that he wants to “play KING.” And, now, this gent is saying, “he had high hopes for President Trump.”
What does this gent have to say about all of the above with “ants in his pants?”
People have short complaint memories and LONG no patience.
As the saying, goes, Rome wasn’t built in a day and what Obama/Biden turned upside down in 12 years – it is going to take more than eight months working 24/7 to restore our country.
Remember Biden Admin used his auto pen to sign his executive orders. President Trump is using penmanship to sign his. Also, the President is trying to make a silk purse out of the Democrat’s sow’s ear.
Aaron Mahan twice voted for Donald Trump, but didn’t support his election in 2024. He blames the president for Las Vegas’ struggling economy. ((David Becker / For The Times))
Aaron Mahan is a lifelong Republican who twice voted for Donald Trump.
He had high hopes putting a businessman in the White House and, although he found the president’s monster ego grating, Mahan voted for his reelection. Mostly, he said, out of party loyalty.
By 2024, however, he’d had enough.
“I just saw more of the bad qualities, more of the ego,” said Mahan, who’s worked for decades as a food server on and off the Las Vegas Strip. “And I felt like he was at least partially running to stay out of jail.”
He’s no Trump hater, Mahan said. “I don’t think he’s evil.” Rather, the 52-year-old calls himself “a Trump realist,” seeing the good and the bad.
Here’s Mahan’s reality: A big drop in pay. Depletion of his emergency savings. Stress every time he pulls into a gas station or visits the supermarket.
Mahan used to blithely toss things in his grocery cart. “Now,” he said, “you have to look at prices, because everything is more expensive.”
In short, he’s living through the worst combination of inflation and economic malaise he’s experienced since he began waiting tables after finishing high school.
(At least he is working and has a job.)
Las Vegas lives on tourism, the industry irrigated by rivers of disposable income. The decline of both has resulted in a painful downturn that hurts all the more after the pent-up demand and go-go years following the crippling COVID-19 shutdown.
Over the last 12 months, the number of visitors has dropped significantly and those who do come to Las Vegas are spending less. Passenger arrivals at Harry Reid International Airport, a short hop from the Strip, have declined and room nights, a measure of hotel occupancy, have also fallen.
Mahan, who works at the Virgin resort casino just off the Strip, blames the slowdown in large part on Trump’s failure to tame inflation, his tariffs and pugnacious immigration and foreign policies that have antagonized people — and prospective visitors — around the world.
“His general attitude is, ‘I’m going to do what I’m going to do, and you’re going to like it or leave it.’ And they’re leaving it,” Mahan said. “The Canadians aren’t coming. The Mexicans aren’t coming. The Europeans aren’t coming in the way they did. But also the people from Southern California aren’t coming the way they did either.”
Mahan has a way of describing the buckling blow to Las Vegas’ economy. He calls it “the Trump slump.”
(Short on patient and long on memory as to who caused the pain.)
Mahan was an Air Force brat who lived throughout the United States and, for a time, in England before his father retired from the military and started looking for a place to settle.
Mahan’s mother grew up in Sacramento and liked the mountains that ring Las Vegas. They reminded her of the Sierra Nevada. Mahan’s father had worked intermittently as a bartender. It was a skill of great utility in Nevada’s expansive hospitality industry.
So the desert metropolis it was.
Mahan was 15 when his family landed. After high school, he attended college for a time and started working in the coffee shop at the Barbary Coast hotel and casino. He then moved on to the upscale Gourmet Room. The money was good; Mahan had found his career.
From there he moved to Circus Circus and then, in 2005, the Hard Rock hotel and casino, where he’s been ever since. (In 2018, Virgin Hotels purchased the Hard Rock.)
Mahan, who’s single with no kids, learned to roll with the vicissitudes of the hospitality business. “As a food server, there’s always going to be slowdowns and takeoffs,” he said over lunch at a dim sum restaurant in a Las Vegas strip mall.
Mahan socked money away during the summer months and hunkered down in the slow times, before things started picking up around the New Year. He weathered the Great Recession, from 2007 to 2009, when Nevada led the nation in foreclosures, bankruptcies soared and tumbleweeds blew through Las Vegas’ many overbuilt, financially underwater subdivisions.
With tourism off, the hotel where Mahan works changed from a full-service coffee shop to a limited-hour buffet. So he’s no longer waiting tables. Instead, he mans a to-go window, making drinks and handing food to guests, which brings him a lot less in tips. He estimates his income has fallen $2,000 a month.
But it’s not just that his paychecks have grown considerably skinnier. They don’t go nearly as far.
An admitted soda addict, he used to guzzle Dr Pepper. “You’d get three bottles for four bucks,” Mahan said. “Now they’re $3 each.”
He’s cut back as a result.
Worse, his air conditioner broke last month and the $14,000 that Mahan spent replacing it — along with a costly filter he needs for allergies — pretty much wiped out his emergency fund.
It feels as though Mahan is just barely getting by and he’s not at all optimistic things will improve anytime soon.
“I’m looking forward,” he said, to the day Trump leaves office.
::
Mahan considers himself fairly apolitical. He’d rather knock a tennis ball around than debate the latest goings-on in Washington.
He’s not counting on much. “I’m never convinced of anything,” Mahan said. “Until I see it.”
Something else is poking around the back of his mind.
Mahan is a shop steward with the Culinary Union, the powerhouse labor organization that’s helped make Las Vegas one of the few places in the country where a waiter, such as Mahan, can earn enough to buy a home in an upscale suburb like nearby Henderson. (He points out that he made the purchase in 2012 and probably couldn’t afford it in today’s economy.)
Mahan worries that once Trump is done targeting immigrants, federal workers and Democratic-run cities, he’ll come after organized labor, undermining one of the foundational building blocks that helped him climb into the middle class.
“He is a businessman and most businesspeople don’t like dealing with unions,” Mahan said.
There are a few bright spots in Las Vegas’ economic picture. Convention bookings are up slightly for the year, and look to be strengthening. Gaming revenues have increased year-over-year. The workforce is still growing.
“This community’s streets are not littered with people that have been laid off,” said Jeremy Aguero, a principal analyst with Applied Analysis, a firm that provides economic and fiscal policy counsel in Las Vegas.
“The layoff trends, unemployment insurance, they’ve edged up,” Aguero said. “But they’re certainly not wildly elevated in comparison to other periods of instability.”
That, however, offers small solace for Mahan as he makes drinks, hands over takeout food and carefully watches his wallet.
If he knew then what he knows now, what would the Aaron of 2016 — the one so full of hope for a Trump presidency — say to the Aaron of today?
Mahan paused, his chopsticks hovering over a custard dumpling.
“Prepare,” he said, “for a bumpy ride.”
(The Democrats broke it, the President is working 24/7 trying to put the country back into the Constitution. For 12 years we had no Constitution/no law and order and the left used socialism to rule. That is what you Democrats voted for. Now, to clean up – you caused the suffering. They printed money, the dollar was reduced to nothing – so here we are with blue states in the negative column and hurting.
Just remember in the next election – what a Democrat stands for – progressive dictatorship/Hamas terrorists.)
