'DEMS WANT TO PLAY STUPID RACE BAITING GAMES'

"The people claiming to fight on behalf of black people for race relations are more interested in perpetuating racial animosity in this country."

America LAST? Leftist MrBeast put nearly $10 million into a Ghana village while critics asked why that check didn't land in an American town first.
⠀
Jimmy Donaldson posted the Abna Dakwa Village build on Sept. 19 after a year of planning and eight months of construction in Ghana's Eastern Region.
⠀
The package includes a school for more than 300 students, ten teacher houses, a clinic, solar power, water towers, a market, and five years of free meals backed by the Rockefeller Foundation.
⠀
He tied the project to cocoa child labor and to his Feastables brand.

Partners also included the Dubai 1 Billion Followers Summit and Beast Industries.

The Ghana video is framed as his largest single humanitarian build.

Online replies argued African governments and private capital should fund their own towns while U.S. streets still have open food gaps.

Donaldson has not published a line-item comparing the $10 million Ghana spend with a matching American equivalent.

Imagine this as your president… negotiating with world leaders.

We are so lucky Trump is our president.

Actions speak much louder than words. Councilmember Nithya Raman’s record on public safety is clear:

- 2020: Called to “defund the police.”
- 2021: Pushed to cut LAPD from hiring 300 new officers
- Jan. 2026: Voted against hiring 170 new LAPD officers to fill vacant positions

Since Raman took office, she has consistently voted to defund the police. The facts don’t lie.

Looks like a cop needs some SERIOUS retraining… and an agency needs to get their act together.

This is crazy. Tesla cameras saved man from charges after a Winter Springs judge acquitted Kevin Finley after video showed a barely visible unmarked cruiser's lights.

Finley was driving home from a school drop-off on Aug. 7, 2024, when he passed a car in a median.
⠀
Winter Springs officers said they tried to stop him. He said he never heard a siren and never saw lights long enough to know it was a chase.

The Tesla recording showed the emergency lights only for a short stretch before curves and buildings hid the unmarked car.

He pulled into his garage, then opened the door when he heard sirens and found officers with weapons drawn.

They filed charges of felony fleeing and eluding plus criminal reckless driving.

The case sat nearly two years.

The judge entered a judgment of not guilty after watching the car video and did not send it to a jury.

SIX OF THE MOST WANTED FRAUDSTERS ON PLANET EARTH — ARRESTED IN THREE MONTHS.

Four continents.
$2 BILLION in fraud against American citizens.
5,000 days on the run.

Then there’s Operation Blackout.

$17 BILLION in scam-center fraud seized. Thousands arrested. Thousands of workers freed.

These criminal syndicates targeted Americans’ life savings, retirements, and their kids’ college tuition.

We’re finding them overseas. We’re dismantling their operations. And when we’re done — they won’t be able to replicate them.

The FBI is leading the scam-center fight and the fraud fight.

That’s what it takes to complete the mission.
