What about Laurene Jobs? She is a megadonor, close friend of Kamala’s and owner of The Atlantic that ran the coordinated hit piece with the campaign.

I'm sorry, I really just don't understand a Jewish donor for Harris based on the Biden/Obama history with Israel. Suicide, it the literal sense of a people facing an existential threat the likes of which have not be seen since the 1930s and WWII. I just don't get it. Someone please explain it to me. Seriously!

BASED ON THE RECORD OF THIS CURRENT ADMINISTRATION (KAMALA BEING #2 IN CHARGE), WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE REASON THESE PEOPLE WANT HER TO STAY ON, AND BECOME THE #1 IN CHARGE?

The VP has no legal power whatsoever.

An excellent book on how the left influences opinion and manipulates money is Scott Walter's "Arabella". It is a sobering and depressing read.

With the Citizens United decision and the massive tech and internet fortunes, a few people distort elections to their advantage. The 'common man" doesn't have a change. Add to this the holding of elective office being a gateway to wealth and elite status. No wonder so much money is being spent to win. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Don't forget Bill Gates' $50 million laundered into the democrat party.

Thank you FP for finally stepping up to the plate regarding the corruption of our political processes. How ironic is the Democrat Party that identifies itself as the party of "the people". They now are everything they used to oppose.

thanks for this article. The PACs named here really sent me down a rabbit hole at https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/2024

"Follow the $"---We know Sorros is behind the encampments and pro hamas rallies.

"The people who surround someone tell you a lot about who they are": We know Kam has pro Iran / anti Israel people surrounding her: Bitar, Gordon, Malley, Goldenberg, Abdellal, Fusili, Bargzi, Basrawi, Ellison, Tabatabai, Maier, AOC, Ilhan, Rashida & many more. Between the $ she's getting from people like Sorros and with all the anti American ppl in her admin, I think it's clear where this admin would take us. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out....

I thought we had campaign finance laws restricting contribution amounts.

What about Laurene Powell, Steve Jobs widow, whose in kind donations thru her publication The Atlantic, act as Democratic Party apparatchiks?

Ever wonder why America's tax laws are so convoluted, regulations are numbered in the hundreds of thousands of pages and Congress never seems to pass laws that actually help working Americans?

The amounts of money that these few billionaires passed over to Democrats through PACs is petty cash for them. And these are just the ones profiled here. There are thousands more wealthy that also donate if not this much. But why?

As members of the American aristocracy they consider this money well spent. Sure they have to spend millions more to hire tax lawyers and others to navigate the taxes and regulations they helped create. But it keeps much of the competition out of their businesses. And they get to sneer at normal people behind closed doors while flying on Epstein jets and snorting at Diddy parties. And they have a "Get out of Jail Free" card.

A more corrupt and degenerate group of people has never existed, including at biblical Sodom.

I suppose the logic being that they are rich enough to remain unaffected by the calamitous consequences -not just economic- that a Harris/Walz administration will produce. Without sounding melodramatic, actually why not?, the consequences will be as numerous and painful as the biblical plagues. Rolling out woke progressivism will change the face of the West forever, as the US is still to some degree influential in molding ideological tastes. Militarily, our adversaries will sense our weakness. Erosion of the concept of the individual as government bodies will be used as instruments in every aspect of our lives. More corporatization as many of them love misery, government contracts and landfill merchandise. God help us.

Distressing to read about this intricate web of PACS, Billionaires, and “non partisan” non profits, particularly in the light of the firestorm over Elon Musk giving a million dollars a day to people who sign a petition that they support the constitution, with some Dems seriously suggesting he should be arrested for “vote buying.” Elon’s problem is that he is too honest and upfront .

Bill Gates tried to secretly give $50M to Harris this cycle and was found out, just today (see below). Why did Bill try to conceal this mega giving to Harris? Seems he only came clean because someone was going to tattle:

RFK Jr. thinks Bill Gates’ donation to Kamala was ‘dark money’ and ‘protection’ for his (and Pfizer CEO) upcoming trial by Danish court for falsification to public of Covid vaccine safety:
