Pam Bondi for Attorney General? Look at her 2016 Connection with Trump University

Image
The scandal was exposed in March of 2016 by “Crew.” The Attorney General for the state of Florida was a woman by the name of Pam Bondi. She accepted a $25,000 donation from the Trump Foundation intended for her reelection campaign. The problem is, charitable foundations are not allowed to participate in any form of politics. Why would Trump steal money from his own charitable foundation and give it to a state official when he was living in New York City? You might remember the now defunct Trump University. It was deemed a fraud by a federal judge, and Trump was forced to pay restitution to the “students” he swindled. One of the states considering a deeper investigation into the fake university was Florida. The paperwork deciding whether or not the state would engage in an investigation would be in the hands of the state’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi. After receiving Trump’s illegal donation, she abandoned Florida’s efforts to dig deeper into Trump’s alleged efforts to steal money from ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   From the time I could afford to purchase my first automobile, I began to understand why everyone complained about gas prices.   Now, at the mature age of 77, I can tell you why they piss of f just about everyone .   The oil and gas industry began the practice of “Greedflation” about 50 years ago. Whenever they had ac cidents , spills or were forced to make expensive repairs to their aging equipment, they would arbitrarily raise prices at the pump. If you live near a resort area, like me, you notice that the prices are much higher in that area than where you live. I live near Lake Tahoe, and not only is this a fact, the se companies raise prices down here in Reno and up in Lake Tahoe prior to every holiday. Tahoe no longer has a commercial airport.   LAST WEEK TRUMP OFFERED 20 OIL EXECUTIVES A BRIBE   It was revealed that last week Trump met with 20 gas and oil executives at Mar-a-Lago. He told them that if they would donate one-b...

Trump Knows How to do Two Things: Lie, and Commit Bribery

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s first impeachment was a violation of the Constitution. He attempted to bribe the President of Ukraine with financial aid, if he would “dig up dirt” on Hunter and Joe Biden. Members of New York’s real estate community had reason to believe that Trump frequently bribed building inspectors, etc., to expedite repairs, and other necessities to make a sale or purchase. “Big Adolf” is at it again. Recently, in a meeting with 20 oil company executives at Mar-a-Lago, he proposed “a deal” with our nation’s leading oil companies. If they would give him one-billion dollars for his reelection campaign, if he wins in November, he would in turn increase oil drilling and reverse pollution rules among other pitches. Does this sound like a violation of campaign finance laws? Maybe I’m just thinking of a violation of morals, integrity, and a display of a person with no self-respect. And this revolting criminal wants to be your president. THE SLIMIEST MAN IN THE WORLD We al...
