Hicken-weasel: Why Colorado's gutless guv is in trouble by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2014 D.C. journalists called the latest Quinnipiac University poll results in Colorado's tight gubernatorial race a "shocker." But it's a surprise only if you've been hopelessly trapped in a Beltway echo chamber. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is down 10 points against... Read More

The Left's dark money managers: Meet Philip Gara LaMarche by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2014 Philip Gara LaMarche is a secretive political operative who funnels billions of dollars from undisclosed donors to nonprofits and astroturf groups.

Vacationer Obama's favorite Vineyard "vulture" by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2013 It's good to be the king ... of class warfare hypocrisy. While he lectures his political opponents about their neglect of middle-class America, President Obama is headed to Martha's Vineyard. Again. Because nothing spells populist like a $7.6 million, 9.5-acre estate owned by... Read More

In advance of the new Obama donor scandal story that many conservatives have been buzzing about and which is purportedly set to hit the pages of Newsweek/Daily Beast tomorrow morning, I'm reprinting a selection of my previous blog posts over the last four years that exposed various aspects of the Obama crooked campaign cash-o-matic machine....

Always look under the Astroturf mat. Senate Democrats have failed to pass a budget in nearly 1,200 days. But they are carving out time today to vote on the loophole-ridden, incumbency protection racket, masquerading as "campaign finance reform," dubbed the DISCLOSE Act. Wait a minute. Didn't they already vote on the DISCLOSE Act? Why, yes.... Read More

Super PAC-men: Obama's bundlers gone wild! by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 The White House didn't blow a dog whistle for deep-pocketed liberal donors on Monday. No, the administration whipped out a supersized vuvuzela. Blaring message: Let loose the campaign finance-bundling hounds of super PAC war! President Obama's campaign manager, Jim Messina, who served... Read More

The People's President is raising money any way he can -- and the fashion world's 1 percent-ers have stepped up to the plate to help. Via the WSJ: Republicans are rightly raising campaign finance questions about the haute couture deals: "This raises serious questions about whether corporate money, property and employees were improperly used in...

Let the sun shine in... After I blogged last week about Barack Obama's burgeoning LightSquared scandal, I received a miffed e-mail from billionaire hedge fund manager/Obama donor/LightSquared principal backer Philip Falcone under the subject line "Tip." Falcone defended the Obama administration and noted that the predecessor to LightSquared, called Skyterra, had benefited from some previous... Read More

At his latest in a series of pointless press conferences decrying talk over action, President Obama this morning trotted out his worn old class-warfare line about the need for millionaires, billionaires, and corporate jet owners to share in the "sacrifice." Whenever you hear him use that line, substitute "Obama bundlers." Perhaps someone can slip it... Read More

Hollyweird, meet reality. The WSJ has a must-read op-ed exposing how liberal comedian Stephen Colbert's campaign finance gag blew up in his face. In an attempt to protest the Supreme Court's ruling last year striking down major portions of the speech-stifling McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, Colbert set out to form a political action committee and...

(Photoshop credit: Sean via Doug Powers) The Obama White House has been an echo chamber for the Soros-funded Center for American Progress from Day One -- from bashing Fox News, attacking talk radio, and pimping "media justice" and the Orwellian Fairness Doctrine, to crusading for the government health care takeover using Astroturfed doctors and taxpayer-funded...

Thanks to all of you who helped with Operation Buck Up Maine and phoned Sens. Snowe and Collins to hold the line against the special interest, speech-squelching DISCLOSE Act. The Senate is now voting on the do-over cloture motion. (It failed to muster 60 votes in July. Cloture vote 57-41.) GOP Leader McConnell assailed the... Read More

They won't take no for an answer. So we have to give them both barrels again. On July 27, the Senate voted down the Democrats' union-friendly, loophole-ridden, Orwellian-titled DISCLOSE Act. The bogus campaign finance reform bill was, as Sen. Mitch McConnell put it, a “transparent attempt to rig fall elections" that was written “behind closed... Read More

University of Chicago Medical Center top executive Dr. Eric Whitaker is a busy, busy man. Here's a rundown of his schedule since his Chicago pal Barack Obama moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: *Golfed with Obama on his December 2008 Hawaii vacation; *Played hoops with Obama during a three-day getaway to Chicago in February 2009; *Attended...

My column today puts the DISCLOSE debacle in the broader context of the Democrats' reign of darkness. Underscoring the theme of theme of the column: The story from Fox Business on how the "financial reform" bill championed by Obama exempts the SEC from FOIA requests. The transparency farce continues. Always look under the Astroturf mat.... Read More

The union-friendly, loophole-ridden, Orwellian-titled DISCLOSE Act comes up for a cloture vote in the Senate this afternoon. It appears doomed. But take nothing for granted. It passed the House in June. This is a relief: Squishy GOP Sen. Susan Collins announced she's a no vote: Yesterday, Prince of Transparency-Underming Darkness Barack Obama had the chutzpah...

Many of you may remember a scathing documentary by Citizens United about Hillary Clinton from 2007. I blogged about it at the time here. The film became the center of a huge legal battle over the free-speech-stifling McCain-Feingold campaign finance scheme. Parts of the law were struck down by the Supreme Court when the Wisconsin...

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has no idea how Chinagate scandal figure and old family friend James Riady found his way back into the country this year. No idea whatsoever, according to the Washington Post: Oh, and that $20,000 Riady dona

If you want breathless, celebrity tabloid treatment of the first Obama White House state dinner -- who wore what, who came with whom, what they ate -- go somewhere else. This is a closer look at the cronies, czars & corruptocrats whom Obama wined and dined last night. - SEIU president/top White House visitor Andy... Read More

So, the president is going to tell us who his computer security czar soon. Let's hope it's not the same person who ran the Obama campaign's grossly insecure online credit card donation operations.

Regular readers will remember Mauricio Celis. Guest-blogger See-Dubya was on the Friend of Hillary's trail in January 2008, tracked his Mexican money laundering ties and bizarro police impersonation antics, and reported on his indictment. Today, he was re-sentenced to 10 years' probation for impersonating a lawyer. It's the Demo-crook wrist slap of the day: A... Read More

In my column on the SEIU today, I mentioned how the George Soros-funded group, Americans Coming Together, was hit with a $775,000 fine by the Federal Election Commission – the third largest civil penalty levied in the panel’s history -- for gross campaign finance violations. Yesterday, in little-noticed news, California's campaign finance panel fined Soros... Read More

Last week, I advised readers how to file FEC complaints against Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Crapweasel) over his misleading "Specter for the Cure" website. It still looks like a bogus medical research, but Specter has quietly "clarified" the fundraising front by making its connection to his reelection explicit on the front page. Sunlight is the best...

Arlen Specter's campaign finance travesty deserves more than just mockery. It deserves action. Here are screenshots of his misleading "Specter for the Cure" website, which is a slimy front to raise campaign funds: And the fine print buried at the bottom of the home page: Here is how you file an FEC complaint. Here are... Read More
