Don't Celebrate the Maine Secretary of State Being Swatted

We learned on Friday that Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows had unilaterally decreed that Donald Trump could not have his name on the primary ballot in her state. The unelected official took the action without any legislative action or court challenge to support it. Less than a day later, her home was swatted, with state police showing up after false reports of a man breaking into Bellows’ home were received. Nothing was found to be amiss and the Secretary of State and her family were not home at the time, so the swatting attempt ended without incident. But that fortunate result doesn’t make this attack harmless or meaningless. (NY Post)

Sam Bankman-Fried, a Hillary Clinton donor and mega-donor to the Democrat Party, has suddenly had a second trial charging him with unlawful political donations and bribery of foreign officials dropped.

This was after he took part in one of the largest financial collapses in history. The decision to not go after these charges against him comes as a giant surprise to many and critics believe it may have to do with his connections within the Democrat Party.

“Federal prosecutors said Friday that they do not plan to proceed with a second trial against Sam Bankman-Fried, citing public interest in a speedy resolution of the case that has seemingly irritated those who were hoping to see the disgraced FTX founder prosecuted to the fullest extent,” the New York Post reported.

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) argued that the cobalt from the Democratic Republic of Congo used for electric vehicles should be treated the same way as blood diamonds were before, and the only difference between blood diamonds and cobalt mined by child slave labor in the DRC is that the cobalt is backed by a political agenda.

Van Orden stated, “[W]e’ve got 21st-century slavery that is being financed by the United States government by giving people tax rebates to buy electric vehicles. … This can be stopped by changing a couple policies and making sure that we are not buying cobalt from the Democratic Republic of Congo as long as they’re using children to mine it.”
