Since Democrats are in meltdown over the fired Inspectors General, remember that Norm Eisen fired IGs for clearly political reasons under Obama.

Eisen went on MSNBC to attack @realDonaldTrump for something he did. Image
The Inspector General for the Corporation for National and Community Service (AmeriCorps) Gerald Walpin was fired by Eisen after his tough oversight efforts to hold senior officials accountable for excusing a friend/Obama crony who mismanaged charter school funds and was sexually inappropriate towards students.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the Senate Finance Committee put out a 62 page report, “The Firing of the Inspector General for the CNCS,” outlined how Obama allies and Eisen were able to remove Walpin without a formal review.

The White House Counsel’s Office withheld information from Congress and misled investigators after Rep. Issa and Sen. Grassley questioned the President’s methods and motives for removing Walpin.
There was sizable evidence the removal was motivated by a desire to protect a friend and political ally of the President, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson.  The Inspector General and CNCS management were clashing over an inquiry into misuse of federal grant funds at a charity run by Johnson, including personal services like car washes and pay for political campaign work.  The Inspector General was pushing aggressively to require Johnson to repay the federal grant money that his charity could not account for.
Eisen personally delivered an illegal ultimatum to. He demanded that Walpin resign or be terminated within one hour.  At the time he delivered the ultimatum, no notice had been provided to Congress as is legally required by the Inspector General Reform Act.
While undergoing Senate Confirmation hearings, Eisen refused to answer questions from Senator Chuck Grassley about the matter and later lied about his conduct. His lies were so blatant he issued an apology to Senator Grassley. Image

Kim Kardashian attacked the LA ICE raids on Instagram Tuesday, but in 2019 the Kardashian family issued a statement praising ICE after it deported Kendall Jenner’s stalker to Canada.

⬇️⬇️⬇️
In 2019, ICE El Paso deported a Canadian who stalked Kendall Jenner. The Kardashians lauded ICE and LAPD’s “swift response and professionalism,” saying it restored their “peace of mind.” But now, as ICE deports criminal invaders harming everyday American families, Kim has decided it’s time to hop on the sanctimonious celebrity bandwagon criticizing the agency.Image
In addition to flipping her stance on ICE deportations in the statement, Kim – best known for her Instagram mirror selfies and 2003 s*x tape with “F*ck Them H*es” artist Ray J – described illegal alien criminals as her “neighbors.”

Unfortunately, unlike Kim, most of us do not live in a $60 million Calabasas mansion with a survival bunker and 24/7-armed security.

WATCH: Kamala Harris praises group behind LA anti-ICE riots for their “work and fight.”

Their “mission is one of the main reasons I ran to become a Senator.”

This was during her first appearance as a Senator-Elect in 2016 which she chose to have at CHIRLA headquarters.
Harris also apparently campaigned alongside CHIRLA: Image
And met with CHIRLA leadership and activists while serving as Vice President! Image

NPR recently added a pop-up message on their website asking: “What would you do in a world without the NPR Network?”

Here is some of the hard-hitting reporting NPR thinks you can’t live without ⬇️ Image
A discussion of “genderqueer dinosaur enthusiasts” and the “trans-ceratops.” Image
A Valentine’s Day feature regarding “queer animals” that suggests the make-believe clownfish in Finding Nemo would’ve been better off as a female, that “banana slugs are hermaphrodites,” and that “some deer are nonbinary.” Image

EXC: America’s 250th Birthday Commission Chair is a Trump-bashing Obama appointee who feels Mexico is more “my country” than America.

Rosa Rios believes Mexicans “are the future” of America, hates border walls, and thinks “nothing good can come” from Trump.

🧵🧵🧵 Image
Rios celebrated Mexicans overtaking US-born citizens demographically, insisting it’s “not our geography that defines us. Again, I am as much Mexican as I am American” while speaking in 2015.
“We are the same blood. California, where I was born and raised, was Mexico. People tend to forget that, that we are in the same land, and that was Mexico,” Rios continued.

NEW: Just two weeks ago, Harvard partnered with a Chinese Communist Party influence group.

The group has been flagged by the US government for subverting institutions to “take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing’s preferred policies.” Image
The group - the China United States Exchange Foundation - part of CCP’s United Front Work Department, which seeks “to co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party.”

The State Department also compares the United Front to the Chinese regime’s “magic weapon” to advance its preferred policies by infiltrating academia.
Despite these ties, CUSEF sponsored the recent 28th Harvard College China Forum.

James Chau, President of CUSEF, even spoke: “The modern story of US -China relations was about table tennis, was about two people who bumped into each other on a team bus at the world table tennis championships and from that went on to help shatter the silence that these two countries had endured for a couple of decades. It wasn't politicians, it wasn't diplomats, it wasn't traditional established leadership, it was two people who played sports, two people who represent culture.”
