[Well, the congressional Repubs can really futch up President Trump and the country if they don't settle quickly on selecting a Speaker. Operational competency of our political parties is in the toilet. The Dems have historically led the way, but the Repubs are doing their best to now take the title. gjr]

Here’s a nice little story.
“…George Soros and his son, Alex, have spent at least $117 million since 2016 to reshape America’s justice system. They’ve been successful: three in 10 Americans now live under a Soros prosecutor.
But the Soroses’ influence doesn’t end on Election Day. After Soros-backed prosecutors take office, the family’s apparatus tells them what to do, documents show.
The Media Research Center obtained nearly 8,000 pages of internal documents through public records laws that show how a Soros-funded group called Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP) “directed Soros prosecutors to manipulate the rule of law concerning illegal immigration, drugs, abortion, election integrity, capital punishment and laws against childhood sex changes.”

President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice doled out over $100 million in grants relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion for K-12, a new Parents Defending Education report found.
“To say that the Biden Administration spent money on DEI programs like drunken sailors is an insult to sailors,” Nicole Neily, Parents Defending Education’s president and founder, told the Washington Examiner.
The report released on Thursday comes less than a month after PDE revealed Biden’s Education Department spent over $1 billion on DEI-related grants
Of those grant funds, almost half, $489,883,797.81, went to DEI hiring while over 30%, $343,337,286, went to DEI programming, and another $169,301,221 went to DEI-based mental health and social-emotional learning programs.
