Billionaire Soros: Hillary's Puppet Master

 “I need, Don Corleone, all of those politicians that you carry around in your pocket, like so many nickels and dimes.” – Al Lettieri as Virgil “The Turk” Sollozzo in “The Godfather” (1972)

Real-life “Godfather” George Soros pulls many nefarious strings. He bankrolls Black Lives Matter chaos and violence. He was also behind pro-amnesty lobbyists supporting Marco Rubio's failed “Gang of Eight” legislation. Indeed, this unelected, anti-American kingmaker needs figureheads to do his bidding. In this regard, corrupt two-faced Hillary is his primary political puppet. She's his MSM propped up Darth Vader; he's her emperor of a hoped for nightmarish, totalitarian one world government.

That means future years of the poisonous, politically correct Obama-Clinton doctrine: bold faced lies and anti-law (anti-police) stances while ignoring the Constitution; crippling debt, more overspending and government dependence/expansion/intrusion; open U.S. borders, further tolerance of illegal migration and radical Islam; a greater influx of resettled Muslim refugees; and de facto abdication of American power abroad. Suddenly, the true meaning of Obama's “transformative” progressivism comes sharply into focus.

To make an analogy, ISIS flourished when Barack Obama withdrew U.S. troops without first arranging a status of forces agreement. Hobbling America creates a similar leadership vacuum Mr. Soros can step into. In 1998, he tellingly revealed:

“The sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions. We need some global system of political decision-making. In short, we need a global society to support our global economy.”

That's the false premise of a bad actor. If nothing else, feckless and failed Obama proves the international community is entirely rudderless without a strong, pro-American values president. Otherwise, there is no Free World. Therefore, unchecked leftist dictators like Putin seize Crimea. That's small potatoes to Soros. He's got America in his sights.

Mr. Soros's name appears almost 60 times in campaign chairman John Podesta's WilkiLeak(ed) emails. After all, influence peddler Hillary needs her New World (marching) Orders. To that end, Soros's 'Hillary buy-in' is $25 million. That's pocket change—Godfather nickels and dimes—to a string-puller worth 24 billion. Thus, anyone supporting Hillary will get no change—and has no sense.

D.C. government's dysfunctional lemonade stand

The D.C. license plate slogan “Taxation without Representation,” just scratches the surface of the Orwellian farce that is the local D.C. government. Local politicians have been griping about statehood for the District for decades. Apparently to them, a mayor, a 13-member city council and a non-voting member in Congress, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D), doesn't rise to the level of “representation” they seek. For instance, in the case of living-large Ms. Holmes Norton, she's entitled to a cushy annual salary of $174,000. Yet, she doesn't doesn't do much for it, her bellwether accomplishment is advocating the public’s right to sled on Capitol Hill.

Last Monday, the colorful characters that populate the city council gave preliminary approval to the Neighborhood Engagement Achieves Results Amendment Act (NEAR). Beyond a catchy acronym, this legislation would pay at-risk youths assumed to be predisposed to criminality a $9,000 stipend to stay out of trouble at least within the confines of the District. (Adjoining Maryland and Virginia, you are on your own.) Ward 5 Democrat Councilman Kenyan McDuffie, proponent of this bright idea said, “The goal will be to identify our teenagers and young adults at the highest risk for committing or being a victim of violent crimes, for participation in a stipend-based program involving life planning, trauma informed therapy and mentorship.” No doubt Mr. McDuffie's crystal ball will be at the ready—and it will have to be as all participants, naturally, will be anonymous.  This Obama-like transparency ensures no accountability to the proposed program whatsoever.

If fully passed, this bill would initially pay 200 D.C. residents “not to become criminals” at an “untenable” annual cost, per District chief financial officer Jeffrey DeWitt, of $3.9 million or $25.6 million over four years. It's a devious taxpayer-funded scheme worthy of the Corleone Family in “The Godfather.” Except it's not a shakedown enacted by fictional mobsters, but real life choices of elected officials who mismanage local D.C. affairs. Recall, these selfsame people hungrily lick their chops at the elevated influence D.C. statehood would give them.
