Democrats spark outrage with desperate fundraising ploy after blowing millions on celebrity performances

 Democrats spark outrage with desperate fundraising ploy after blowing millions on celebrity performances

Democratic National Committee workers are asking for charitable donations after  making significant layoffs in a dramatic downsizing after Vice President Kamala Harris lost the election. 

The pleas for donations sparked outrage on social media, as memories of the massive $1 billion Kamala Harris campaign spending spree were still fresh, including millions of dollars spent to host celebrity filled town halls for the vice president.

Two-thirds of DNC staffers were laid off as part of the downsizing on Wednesday, with only one day's notice and no severance, according to the union.

'These cuts go far beyond typical campaign turnover and impact employees who were previously told their positions would be retained after the election,' the statement from the union protesting the layoffs read.

The DNC union fund portrayed laid off workers as victims of the party, urging individuals to send donations to soften the blow.

Lawmakers Demand Answers on Treasury Department Cyber Breach

Image
In December 2024, the U.S. Treasury Department experienced a significant cybersecurity breach attributed to Chinese state-sponsored hackers. The attackers exploited vulnerabilities in a third-party security service, BeyondTrust, to gain unauthorized access to Treasury workstations and unclassified documents. Upon discovering the breach on December 8, the Treasury Department promptly disabled the compromised service and initiated an investigation in collaboration with the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Preliminary findings suggest that the hackers, identified as an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group linked to China, did not access classified information, and there is no evidence of ongoing unauthorized access. In response to the incident, Republican lawmakers have expressed serious concerns regarding the security of national financial systems and the potential implications of foreign cyber intrusions. Senator Tim Scott, a member of the Senate Ba...

 NEW PANDEMIC OUTBREAK IN CHINA Current Situation Recent reports have highlighted a surge in respiratory illnesses in China, particularly among children in northern regions. This increase has led to speculation about a potential new pandemic. However, health authorities, including the World Health Organization (WHO), have stated that the rise in cases is due to known pathogens and typical seasonal patterns, not a novel virus. Hospitals in northern China have reported an uptick in respiratory infections, with some facilities experiencing higher patient volumes. The primary culprits are common viruses such as influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and mycoplasma pneumoniae. Notably, mycoplasma pneumoniae, a bacterium causing respiratory infections, has been prevalent among children. Chinese health officials have addressed public concerns by confirming that the observed increase aligns with expected seasonal trends. The WHO has also indicated that there is no evidence of a new ...

Trump To Be SENTENCED in New York Case Before Inauguration

Image
President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on January 10, 2025, in New York for 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments made during the 2016 election. This sentencing date falls just ten days before his inauguration. The charges stem from payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to conceal an "alleged" affair, with the intent to influence the 2016 presidential election. In May 2024, a jury convicted Trump on all counts. Judge Juan Merchan has indicated that Trump is unlikely to face imprisonment, fines, or probation. An "unconditional discharge" is anticipated, meaning Trump would have a felony conviction without additional penalties. Trump has the option to attend the sentencing in person or virtually. Trump's legal team sought to dismiss the case, citing presidential immunity, but the judge ruled that such immunity does not apply to a president-elect. They plan to appeal the conviction and may see...
