Hey Cook County.
Not one GOP leader or Republican candidate in Cook County was told the date that these extra high school early voting locations would be open.
No notice given. And no response from the county clerk when people called to ask. It was by luck that one election judge found out by speaking to another election judge YESTERDAY and it was discovered these extra early voting locations are open TOMORROW, Thursday Oct 15. Why these schools? Why only these congressional districts? Why so secretive? A secret voting spot just for schools where no poll watchers know to show up…

Dear Secretary Bessent @SecScottBessent,
My name is Everett Stern. In 2010 I was a compliance officer at @HSBC. From a back office in New Castle, Delaware, I watched billions of dollars move to drug cartels, sanctioned regimes, and terrorist organizations. The enemies of the United States. I documented it, I escalated it, and when the bank would not act, I took it to the @FBI, the @CIA, and eventually the @SECGov.
The result was a $1.92 billion settlement. At the time, it was one of the largest in American history. It was also about five weeks of the bank’s profit. Not one banker was charged. Not one went to prison.
I paid a different price. I lost my career, my savings, and my place in the industry I had trained for. I was blacklisted. Every door in American finance closed at once. I slept on a camping cot in a 300 square foot apartment because I could not afford a bed, and I waited tables at @PFChangs to eat. I tell you this not for sympathy, but so you understand that I know exactly what it costs to do the right thing in American finance, and exactly how little the system does in return.
I made that sacrifice because I believed it would change something.
Yesterday, your department fined @BankofAmerica $1.2 billion for failing to report more than $5 billion in suspicious transactions, some of it tied by your own findings to Chinese laundering networks, narcotics, and the southwest border, alongside 475 apparent sanctions violations touching Russia, Iran, and global terrorism. The bank admitted it willfully violated the Bank Secrecy Act.
Fourteen years after HSBC. A bank with “America” in its name. And once again, not one individual charged.
Secretary Bessent, I want to say plainly what I believe you already know. The fines are not working.
A fine is paid by shareholders, absorbed by the balance sheet, and forgotten by the next earnings call. Bank of America reported earnings this morning. Nobody who set the alert thresholds, nobody who decided the 2024 cease and desist could wait, nobody who chose the backlog over the law will lose a single thing they value. Their lives are untouched. That is the entire reason the behavior repeats.
This is money laundering. This is blood money. Money that reaches a cartel buys fentanyl that kills Americans. Money that reaches a terrorist organization buys the next attack. This country has fought a war on drugs and a war on terror for decades, at enormous cost in lives and treasure, and all the while we have allowed the financing to flow through institutions we charter and regulate. Cut off the money and we win. We have never seriously tried.
There is also a question of equal justice that I cannot let go.
Before I walked into the FBI building to report HSBC, I stopped in front of the Great Seal on the wall and read the words engraved beneath it: “Justice is the defense of our liberty.” I believed that. I still want to. But every day in this country, people go to prison for crimes that are nothing next to moving money for the people who want Americans dead. A suit, a title, and a corporate badge should not be a shield from the consequences that apply to everyone else. If a street dealer goes to prison for what he sells, the banker who moved the cartel’s money should be standing next to him.
I also want to raise something that is rarely said in these conversations. Why has no one inside Bank of America come forward the way I did? The answer is that everyone in American banking knows what happened to me, and to the whistleblowers who came after. The last person who spoke up is the only policy anyone believes. That is a culture problem, and it starts with leadership, in the banks and in the agencies that regulate them.
This is not a political issue. It has spanned administrations of both parties. It is a national security issue, and I am asking you to treat it as one.
Three things would change the math overnight.
Refer individuals for criminal prosecution. Not the analyst in the queue. The executives who set the thresholds and chose the risk. One banker in handcuffs would do more than every fine in Treasury’s history combined.
End “too big to jail.” An institution cannot be too big to fail and too big to jail at the same time. If it is the first, it must be held to a higher standard, not a lower one.
And if Bank of America will not act as America’s bank, review its charter. A national charter is a privilege granted on behalf of the American people. It should be conditioned on not moving money for the people trying to kill them.
Secretary Bessent, you said yesterday that these actions send a clear message that even the biggest institutions are not above the law. With respect, the institution was never the problem. The people inside it are above the law, and they know it. Until that changes, I will keep writing letters like this one, and the next bank will keep paying the next fine.
I gave up everything I had to stop this. I am asking you to use the power you have to finish it.
Respectfully,
Everett A. Stern

He just got paroled for a robbery that left a man dead.
Now he’s accused of trying to carjack two teenagers in front of Chicago cops.

Omg. I just had quite an experience at the CVS pharmacy. An older lady, probably around my mom's age (74) she there to recieve her seasonal shots. As I was standing in the checkout line I heard the pharmacist say this one is your pneumococcal shot, this one is your influenza shot, and this one is your covid shot. After the pharmacist injected the 3rd shot she began having tremors (not seizures) and fell out of her seat, smacked her head on the floor. I get out of line and down on the floor while they were calling EMS. HOLY SHIT. She wasn't breathing, but had a strong pulse around 86. I've always made it a habit to carry a pocket face mask with me, I asked a guy in line to get on the floor and directed him how to hold c spine correctly. I gave rescue breaths until the Paramedics arrived (I know the whole crew) as they are putting the bvm together, I'm still giving rescue breaths. They have her hooked up to the cardiac monitor. Heart rate and 12 lead are unremarkable, , they opted to intubate her before transfering her to the gurney, while another medic started an IV. They left CVS 10-18 (emergency traffic) I just recieved a call that this 6 echo call (not breathing) turned into a 9 echo (full cardiac arrest) I'm praying they get her back🙏🏻
If you bank at JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, U.S. Bank, Citibank, or Wells Fargo AND you're conservative. I would find a new place to put your money TODAY.
A federal regulator just found that America's biggest banks have been targeting conservatives. Some even flagged words like "MAGA" and "America First" as "reputational risks".
Where did the banks get that pressure to flag these words? Straight from the regulators in our government that watch over the banks.
While investigating Donald Trump, Jack Smith’s team collected personal records on over 639,000 Republican voters and donors. Home addresses, birth dates, credit card records... if you bought a MAGA hat or donated even $5, the federal government put your name on a spreadsheet. Big Tech tracks you, the Feds list you, and Big Banks flag you. It’s a complete surveillance apparatus targeted at one half of the country. Jack Smith needs to be held accountable. And so do these banks.
I bank with U.S. Bank. Today, I’m calling a Vice President there to ask one simple question: What are you doing to make sure your bank isn't feeding this weaponized system? If they can't prove their CEO is doing everything they can to fight this overreach, I’m pulling every single dime and moving it somewhere else.
Oregon politician Nafisa Fai just held a rally in MN, speaking Somali, with an American flag UPSIDE DOWN.
Enough with the pretending already.
These are not Americans.
We have undercover people in the inside midterm campaigns across the United States.
We are not releasing the footage yet because we are checking facts, corroborating sources, and obtaining comment to make our stories absolutely bulletproof.
I will also be showing up in person over the weekend to confront the people who say they are breaking the law.
We are announcing this because I want you to know I’m watching every single thing you ALL are doing.
STAY TUNED…
DEVELOPING: Judicial Watch is seeking canine euthanasia records during Dem Senate nod Abdul El-Sayed's tenure as Detroit health director when 1000s of dogs were put to sleep @ his agency, which was described as a "dog slaughterhouse." In Islam, pet dogs are viewed as dirty/haram (forbidden) to touch
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Birthright citizenship for migrants' children is costing American taxpayers a STAGGERING $150.7 BILLION every year — Just The News
This is what the Supreme Court just voted to keep going...
Half of it goes to education, and the rest goes to healthcare and food assistance 🤯
An estimated 225,000 to 250,000 children are born to illegal alien mothers every year, per FAIR and CIS
Tens of thousands more are "birth tourists," including wealthy Chinese nationals who pay up to $100,000 for "maternity hotels."
Many of these U.S.-born children grow up back in China under the CCP.
This isn't what the 14th Amendment was written for!
The IRS sent armed agents into a family bakery and drained $68,382 from its bank account.
Their “crime”? Depositing their OWN CASH in amounts under $10,000.
Then the government demanded ANOTHER $160,000 and a guilty plea to a FELONY.
The IRS called it “structuring”: deliberately keeping deposits small to dodge bank reporting rules.
DAVID VOCATURA: “I said to them, ‘Maybe I should get a lawyer.’ And they said, ‘You don’t need one, step in the back.’”
“Until the day they came in, I had no idea what structuring was.”
“I’m a law-abiding citizen. I can’t remember the last time I got a speeding ticket.”
Nearly three years after seizing the money, a prosecutor came back with a deal that carried up to FOUR YEARS IN PRISON:
DAVID VOCATURA: “They wanted us to pay another additional $160,000 in fines and plead to a felony charge of structuring.”
They refused.
You bake bread for three generations.
You pay your taxes.
You put your own money in the bank.
And the IRS treats you like a criminal, demanding nearly a quarter million dollars.
CONTEXT: Fortunately, the IRS didn’t get away with this one. Hours after the Institute for Justice sued, the IRS agreed to return all $68,382.22. Two weeks later, it withdrew a grand jury subpoena demanding eight years of the bakery’s business records. Crazy that they tried to ruin a business over depositing money into their own bank account.
🚨 Florida GOP: Have you lost your minds?
Imtiaz Mohammad, a Pakistani-American Muslim, former Democrat, and founder of the American Muslim Progressive Caucus, is now YOUR Republican nominee for Florida House District 103.
This is the man who declared America is “run on hate” and called Americans “the most uneducated nation in the world.” I posted this video back in 2019!
He backed Bernie Sanders and the Squad, advocated abolishing ICE, and pushed to make Florida a sanctuary state.
What exactly did he renounce before the GOP started congratulating him? Who examined his organizational ties?
Watch the video below. Explain this, Florida GOP.
And the Democratic alternative? Robin Bartleman touts an MSA award, attends Ramadan events, and opposed HB 1471 (this protects American law and strengthens tools against terrorism)
The MSA is named in the Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 memorandum.
She’s courting Muslim voters. Florida voters should demand answers about her alliances and her opposition to the bill.
FLORIDA IS BEING ISLAMIZED, AND THE GOP IS EMBRACING THIS RADICAL - WHY!?
@JBPritzker Gun laws don't lower crime. They just disarm the good guys. Your Safe T Act lets violent people roam our streets to continue to hurt others.
@JBPritzker The entire country has been dumbed down to push illiterate students through the system to keep the Funds Flowing to the Teachers Unions that feed the Political Campaigns of Democrats.
@deannkh10 She's gonna become a Dem Darling Trump Hater & milk that why she can. You know she forced the Public ask for her resignation. They told her she was done, she could have released a statement saying she was resigning to be closer to home, & stayed in the tent. Now she's done!
