I want to walk thru what happened late last night re the secret Frum fundraiser for Trump, scheduled to be held at Trump Tower on Sept 5. At 1 pm yesterday, @TheBelaaz posted about the fundraiser...
At 8:30 last night, Sheya Landa tweeted that Team Trump told him to keep the fundraiser secret & was upset about the Belaaz News scoop. Landa is an advisor to Nassau County Exec Bruce Blakeman & his father, Ben, was slated to attend...

Congrats @DanFoganholi on yr appointment by Gov DeSantis to the State Board of Ed. Re yr position w New Generations Children’s Ministry - its IRS tax exempt status was revoked after filing a single 990-N in 2014....

Per Gov DeSantis' press release, you also are the Director of Strategic Partnerships for the Brazilian American Coalition which, according to , hasn't existed since Sept 2023 & never filed for a FEIN.... sunbiz.org
Not enough attention has been paid to Santos campaign finance director Lianna Farnesi. After college, she was trained by the Heritage Foundation, worked for the Trump campaign & then Templar Baker where she was assigned to the Santos campaign....
Funny how Elise Stefanik knew right off the bat Farnesi wasn't involved in covering up Santos' malfeasance even though she was intimately involved in the Santos campaign inner workings. Same tel # for this RSVP...
Oh. Lianna Farnesi has been on the NRCC's payroll since Jan 2023. Which means the NRCC, not Elise Stefanik, is paying Farnesi to work on Stefanik's campaign. Also footing her legal bills? (ty @jgmac1106)....
Trump's elaborate plan to keep his romance w Melania secret & apply for the Einstein visa has to be seen in the context of his pre-nup & divorce from Marla Maples. Per NYS Supreme Court:
Per Gabriel Sherman for Vanity Fair, Trump would only have to pay Marla Maples $1M if they separated within five years of their marriage on Dec 20 1993... vanityfair.com/news/2019/06/m…
The whole stupid made up story about meeting Melania for the first time in Sept 1998 could have been avoided if Trump didn't have a giant inflated ego... vanityfair.com/news/2019/01/t…
In a blunt editorial yesterday, Newsday called for Gov Hochul to take over NUMC yesterday & for NUMC Chair Matthew Bruderman to step down. Bruderman, appointed by Bruce Blakeman, bought the chairmanship. (ty @BrockWolf6)...
