D.C. Attorney General Lets the Trump Swamp Win Again
The District of Columbia’s attorney general promised accountability for nonprofits that took advantage of the Trump administration’s era of grift. Yet after D.C.’s top prosecutor let the Trump family off easy last month for misusing donor funds, The Daily Beast has discovered yet another recent example of a gentle settlement for executives—with Trumpworld connections—accused of personally enriching themselves with charitable funds. Last year, Attorney General Karl Racine sued the corporation that nearly ruined the United States’ presence at the 2020 World Expo in Dubai. The event presented a lucrative opportunity to represent the nation at the modern World’s Fair, and the State Department initially handed it over to Pavilion USA 2020, a nonprofit started by two political players in Washington. But Racine’s office says it eventually discovered these two men misused their nonprofit to pay themselves handsomely—and dupe well-meaning investors into pouring money into a failed … [Read more...] about D.C.

Ortiz: Pandemic of Bad State Responses Amid Million Covid Deaths
Alfredo Ortiz of Job Creators Network writes in RealClear Politics, as we mark one million deaths from COVID-19 in the U.S., we must consider the pandemic in the context of the actions and reactions of blue states vs red states to it and the consequences on their various economies and the overall well- being of their populations: This week, the United States officially hit the sad mark of one million Covid-19 deaths. The mainstream media coverage has detailed how this death toll has varied based on age, race, and vaccination status. However, it has conspicuously ignored how these Covid-19 deaths have occurred independently of differing state policies regarding economic and education restrictions. Many Democrat-run states imposed severe restrictions in 2020 and 2021 that did nothing to stop the virus and much to harm small businesses and ordinary Americans. Job Creators Network called on policymakers to “ flatten the fear ” when it became clear the virus couldn’t be … [Read more...] about Ortiz: Pandemic of Bad State Responses Amid Million Covid Deaths
