The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yesss.

This is what I voted for. Again, it's like Congress read everything I wrote on PA and developed a playbook to follow. More, please!

SCOOP: Dem fundraising giant ActBlue hit with subpoena by top House committees
3 powerful committees subpoena ActBlue over allegations of accepting fraudulent donations from foreign sources


Of course they've been accepting money from foreign sources. democrats for years have been playing games with the credit card AVS system, as I've documented extensively. The only reason you'd turn off Address Verification is if you didn't want to know where the money was coming from.

After all, how else could your Chinese and european benefactors shower you with thousands of $50 donations??

FIRST ON FOX: Three House committees are banding together to subpoena Democratic fundraising giant ActBlue on Tuesday, accusing the platform of having accepted "fraudulent or illegal" donations for left-wing candidates.

"In light of allegations that online fundraising platforms that serve as conduits for political donations have accepted fraudulent donations from domestic and foreign sources, the Committees are conducting oversight to inform potential legislative reforms," House investigators' letter to ActBlue read.

"To further our oversight and legislative reform efforts, on April 2, 2025, the Committees requested documents and communications related to internal misconduct and whistleblower retaliation at ActBlue. Although ActBlue initially provided documents voluntarily, it has since suspended its cooperation with the Committees. Therefore, the Committee on House Administration must resort to compulsory process to obtain the requested materials."


Winning.

It never gets old.
