Is El-Sayed's Campaign Funded by Elderly Fake Donors?
ActBlue says an 88-year-old widow has given over $150k to Dems over the past five years, but she says that's not possible

Milan — Out in the country on a rutted dirt road lined with corn lives an old woman and her dog.
Elizabeth Waffle, 88, was forced to move into a shabby trailer two years ago after her house burned down. She owns an old pickup truck but no computer.
Nevertheless, Waffle, who lives on a modest pension, is a true believer in liberal causes and continues to make small political donations by way of ActBlue—the Democrat online fundraising platform.
But somehow, those few dozen small donations she has made over the past five years have transmogrified into 14,696 donations totaling more than $150,000—the equivalent of eight donations a day, every day for the past five years, averaging $9.18.
“One hundred and fifty thousand?” Waffle said with real surprise. “Hell no. I don’t have that kind of money.”
She says she has contributed to Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Socialist running for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat, but not 47 times spanning the last two years, as federal filings show.
El-Sayed promises to get money out of politics. He makes a great show of refusing corporate PAC money. But that’s just wordplay.
El-Sayed does take special interest money. He takes money from his father-in-law. Most concerning, he takes money from ActBlue.
The subject of multiple investigations, the fundraising platform is accused of “rinsing” foreign money and massive private donations by using the stolen names and addresses of real, often elderly Americans to fabricate hundreds of small-dollar donations. Names like Elizabeth Waffle.
ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones recently invoked her Fifth Amendment rights 22 times during a congressional hearing regarding foreign contributions.
According to FEC campaign contributions compiled by Bob Cushman, ActBlue shows Waffle donating from her trailer, even though she has no computer and spotty internet access. It also shows her donating from an apartment she rented in town two years ago after her house burned down. Sometimes it shows Waffle donating from both the trailer and the apartment on the same day. It shows her donating to out-of-state candidates she’s never heard of.
“This is very abnormal,” said Waffle, who sat in the trailer threshold looking over the paperwork I had brought. “I think it’s wrong, and I think there’s something in there that’s off.”
El-Sayed’s campaign brags that he’s the top Michigan fundraiser off the ActBlue platform, having raised 10 times the money from small-dollar donors than his primary opponent, Haley Stevens.
Stevens has also taken ActBlue money. As has Slotkin, Whitmer, Nessel, Benson, Gilchrist, and the entire Democrat gang.
But it is Abdul who plays the sanctimony card. If he is really serious about getting corrupt money out of politics, then he ought to get off ActBlue and return the money.
Anything else is elder abuse.
This is one of the biggest legal debates in America right now.
Do you want the Supreme Court to revisit birthright citizenship?

🚨 WTF?! 140-year-old St. Ann Church in Buffalo NY was just the victim of an ARSON attack as there is a push for the new owner to replace it with an Islamic Center

THIS IS HOW THEY CONQUER FROM WITHIN.
We owe the ultimate costs to our American patriots that paid the ultimate price for this country.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump says Barack Hussein Obama is guilty of treason.
Holy crap.
"The leader of the gang: Barack HUSSEIN Obama, have you heard of him?... HE'S GUILTY! It's there! He's guilty, this was TREASON. This was every word you can think of."
"We have all of the documents! Tulsi has thousands of additional documents coming!"
"President Obama, it was his idea, but he also got it from Crooked Hillary Clinton!"
"Biden was there with him. Comey was there. And Clapper, the whole group. Brennan."
BREAKING: Harmeet Dhillon Announces She Will DENATURALIZE And DEPORT Illegals Who Voted Illegally in New Jersey

Deport them ALL
🚨 JUST NOW: US House just passed the National Defense Authorization Act WITH the Save America Act ATTACHED to the Bill
SEVEN Republicans voted ‘NO’
PRIMARY THESE RINO’s
🚨 HOLY CRAP! The identity services provider New Jersey uses at the DMV is FIRING BACK at Gov. Sherrill, saying the NJ DIVISION OF ELECTIONS were the ones who registered 6,600 foreign voters
This was NOT a “software error.” This is a SCANDAL.
“IDEMIA's role is to transmit information through the motor vehicle system. The voter registration information is transmitted to the New Jersey Department of State, Division of Elections, which is ultimately responsible for verifying eligibility to vote.
Information submitted by IDEMIA must still be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections.”
So the Division of Elections MANUALLY APPROVED over SIX THOUSAND foreigners to vote. They were not automatically registered by the software provider as the governor claimed.
Time to come clean, @GovSherrillNJ!
🚨 JUST IN: Senator Mike Lee just told Senate GOP leadership to
- CANCEL RECESS
- WORK THROUGH WEEKENDS
- NUKE THE 60-VOTE ZOMBIE FILIBUSTER
- Force Democrats to expend political capital opposing the SAVE America Act on the floor
- And SEND THE BILL TO PRESIDENT TRUMP with a majority vote
No more LAZINESS!
LEE: "We could break the Democrats’ filibuster the old-fashioned way: make them actually speak on the Senate floor, knowing we can 'call the question' and pass it at a simple-majority threshold the minute they stop speaking."
"We could add pressure by working through weekends and recess weeks as needed, with a public commitment to keep the Senate in session until the bill passes."
"Right now Senate Democrats enjoy all the benefits of the filibuster with none of the political cost—and without even having to work for it."
"We could also advance key provisions of the SAVE America Act using budget reconciliation. Or we could nuke the filibuster."
"But doing nothing as Democrats increasingly abuse the filibuster is no longer defensible—especially as evidence continues to mount that hundreds of thousands of noncitizens are registered to vote in U.S. elections."
100% AGREE, @BasedMikeLee! Time is RUNNING OUT
Rep. Chip Roy Finally SNAPS Calls To DENATURALIZE and DEPORT Mamdani and Ilhan Omar For Interfering with U.S. Foreign Policy: 'They Want To Destroy Our Way Of Life'

They represent everything that is wrong with our broken immigration system.
A 31-year-old illegal alien named Raul Ortiz Moran just raped and murdered a two-year-old girl in Louisa, Virginia. That's a toddler.😭
Virginia is a sanctuary state, so he was protected from ICE.
This is why we need increased deportations!
What do you think should happen to him?
THIS IS HUGE 🔥 Scott Presler just EXPOSED Lisa Murkowski for LYING to Alaskan Patriots. Scott is going to fly to Alaska and ask Patriots himself

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT 👏
🚨 WTF?! Agriculture Secretary @BrookeLRollins just revealed the largest pork company in America is now owned by a CHINESE COMPANY
Why do we allow this?! This is a DIRECT national security threat! Congress must END THIS.
ROLLINS: "Nearly 85% of our meatpacking capacity is controlled by just four companies, including two that are FOREIGN OWNED."
"Our largest pork company in America is owned by.. CHINA."
"These are national security implications."
🚨 TEXAS - I TRIED WARNING EVERYONE OVER A YEAR AGO - and now it's happening.
McKinney Residents - PAY ATTENTION!
The McKinney Planning and Zoning Commission just UNANIMOUSLY (7-0) approved plans for a massive new mosque and Islamic center in your neighborhood.
The McKinney City Council is taking final action imminently (August 4).
This is exactly what I was sounding the alarm on: the McKinney Islamic Association building a large-scale hub on 5+ acres, with leaders openly talking about explosive Muslim migration into the area and planning for the next 50-60 years.
Imam tied to Egyptian government/Al-Azhar, links to Islamic Tribunals pushing Sharia jurisprudence.
DId you HEAR THAT - Mohamed AlGebaly, Imam of McKinney Islamic Association, is also President of the Islamic Tribunal (IT) - a SHARIA COURT operating in Texas! WHY IS THIS ALLOWED?
Texas leaders had over a year of warnings. Did anyone ever try deporting this radical Imam!? Anyone?
They couldn't (or wouldn't) stop it.
Now they're steamrolling through your state - more mosques, more centers, more demands. They're not slowing down at all.
Think about this: If they can push this through in McKinney despite resident opposition, what's next?
Texas, you are in trouble.
Contact your City Council now. Contact YOUR leaders and demand action - at the LEAST can we stop the Sharia Tribunal?
Can we DEPORT Mohamed AlGebaly!?
