Occupy Democrats gave to McConnell as allegations of pocketing donations swirl

Here's yet another bombshell that the media is going to sweep under the rug.

Remember the popular Occupy movement of a decade ago that the media hated so? There's still little shards of debris out there exploiting the Occupy banner, and one of them is Occupy Democrats. They claim to be a group of Occupy supporters within the Democratic Party - but all they do is spew venom. They don't contribute a damn thing that's positive. Nothing they post is recognizably Occupy.

Now it's been found that just before the 2020 election, the Occupy Democrats Election Fund donated $40,000 to the McConnell Senate Committee – as the Senate Republican leader cruised to reelection. Even after the Democrats completely abandoned the bedrock values of their historic supporters, Mr. Elbow Care remained one of the worst Republicans out there.

Just as shocking, it took 2 years for anyone else to find it. We never would have found it, because we never would have thought to look for it, and we don't have enough staffers to look for it. A larger operation has no excuse not to find it more quickly.

Wikipedia says Occupy Democrats "publishes false information, hyperpartisan content, and clickbait." Yet somehow, the group's posts "are among the most widely shared political content on Facebook." The University of Iowa library said Occupy Democrats "has been known to show misleading, fake, or exaggerated partisan content." The Valencia College library placed Occupy Democrats on a list of sources that "cannot usually be accepted at face value and need further verification from other sources to determine if information is credible." Even the Atlantic said Occupy Democrats is "studded with straightforwardly fake news", and BuzzFeed said Occupy Democrats once published a satirical story as fact. Yet Joe Biden's 2020 campaign worked directly with Occupy Democrats for its messaging.

But wait! There's more! A devastating new article in the Raw Story says founders of Occupy Democrats are being accused of pocketing donations to the group. According to these allegations, the founders funneled money they raised through their PAC into their own businesses and donated precisely zero to Democratic campaigns. Hundreds of thousands of dollars went to "fundraising consultants." Yes, they fundraised to pay for "fundraising consultants."

One of the founders claimed that Occupy Democrats is a superPAC, so it can only spend donations on consultants and messaging, because it is not allowed to donate to candidates. So why did it donate to McConnell? One reporter said that's because it's actually not a superPAC but a hybrid PAC. This means Occupy Democrats is too dumb to even know how its own PAC works.

A commenter on the Raw Story piece asked if Occupy Democrats was a Republican front all along designed to scam Democrats into donating. Another said there is a history of the rich hijacking movements for financial gain. I think the only difference between Occupy Democrats and other groups is that Occupy Democrats got caught. I know MoveOn and Drinking Liberally are scams. I don't think MoveOn always was a scam, but it has been since at least 2020.

What about all the "progressive" blogs that all suddenly shifted to COVID maximalism and began supporting lockdowns at the exact same moment? Who was paying them off? It doesn't seem likely that these blogs would abandon their principles unless they were being paid off.

The Occupy Democrats scandal ought to raise suspicion about other shitlib organizations and blogs. But it probably won't, because the media won't cover it.

Have no fear, the October ish is here!

It's gonna be an October to ploptober, as the October ish of The Last Word is now pub!

Chaka Khan look-alike sighted

I just spent a half-hour trying in vain to fit "I Feel For You" into a title about celebrity look-alikes. Oh well. Anyway, I received an important e-mail saying a Chaka Khan look-alike was sighted a few days ago.

Also, as the proliferation of green bubble gum continues, this e-mail said a person was seen bubbling a big, green bub in a car. It was also reported that someone pooped all over the back of a toilet at an NFL game in Cleveland.

School-to-prison pipeline widens in Cincinnati

I and many other Americans spent the 2010s fighting against the school-to-prison pipeline. The fascism of the 2020s has set our hard work back by generations.

At a meeting last week, Cincinnati school board members voted 6 to 1 to keep armed police in schools – even though studies showed that placing armed cops in schools is not useful. This also came after school police fell under scrutiny for racist practices.

Like so many other things, the school-to-prison pipeline has only gotten worse over the years. Some folks insist things were just as bad in the 1970s, but they forget that I was alive then and I'm old enough to remember that America was much freer then. The University of Connecticut Center for Education Policy Analysis says that in 1975, only 1% of American schools reported having police on site, but that number had ballooned to 58% by 2018. In fact, Cincinnati was one of the first school districts to fall to these pressures.

School police have also come under fire for arresting youths for acts that are not even criminal.

America has become a totalitarian police state where every move is controlled, and no institution exemplifies it more than our broken schools. We are at war with the monsters who run our schools, and we must step up our efforts against these child abusers. Shame on the unseemly goblins who run our schools.

If anyone needs to be armed, it's the students.

Celebrity look-alike boldly goes where no man has gone before

Today at Kroger, I saw a William Shatner look-alike.

Also, some woman driving down Carothers Road bubbled.

People plopped stuff at Ploptoberfest (imagine that!)

You're slipping!

Last night, I went to Oktoberfest in Cincinnati – or, as I call it, Ploptoberfest. It wasn't as illustrious as last year, when I threw up across from the Enquirer building and people drank beer on the streetcar, but it existed nonetheless.

Ploppings aren't as creative as they were a decade ago. However, I did notice that someone put a plastic Kroger bag and a beverage bottle in the toilet. As a bonus, someone smashed a packet of ketchup on the wall in a portable restroom.

Also – predictably – a person was in such a festive mood that they bubbled.

Surprise! Splat!

Today, I got home from a road trip all the way across the country. I even went to Washington and Oregon, so now I've been to every state in the contiguous 48 states and D.C. This fact-finding mission is known as the September Surprise!

Celebrity look-alikes abounded. They included Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bezos, David Canary, and Dick Cheney. But I plan to elaborate on them more in the next ish of The Last Word.

Also, after I got home, I received an important e-mail declaring that a Pink look-alike was sighted at Meijer.

Kazooing is cool

Earlier, I went to Rip-off-fest, as I warned I might do.

My proud smuggling tradition continued. I smuggled in Dr Pepper and a kazoo in defiance of the fest's rules against bringing in beverages and musical instruments. Just to make sure I was violating their dumb rules, I briefly played the kazoo, but it was just the first few notes of "Smoke On The Water."

Also, a person was in such a festive mood that they bubbled.

Georgetown! Maysville! Ripley! Game day bucket go boom!

Back in July, I goed on a little automotive Roads Scholaring just east of Cincinnati. This event yielded 45 photos, and peepage is in order. This also means I'm finally caught up on recent Scholaring photos. So glide on over here...

Where's my kazoo?

Every year, the list of items prohibited at Rip-off-fest gets longer and longer – if they have the event at all.

Rip-off-fest is my name for Riverfest – a so-called festival in Cincinnati. I usually attend the fireworks display each year and smuggle in a soft drink – as beverages are prohibited. I've never been caught, but I once saw a young woman harassed for trying to bring in a soda from Frisch's Big Boy.

This year, the list of banned items includes some bans I've never noticed before. For example, musical instruments are banned. Maybe I'll look for my kazoo later. Balloons and beach balls are banned too. Whistles and tools are also banned.

After I smuggled in Pepsi, last year's Rip-off-fest was a fun little diversion, and we had fine weather. Everyone smiled widely, and a column of mucus even dangled from the nose of a youngster who was approximately 10 years old. It looks like this year we might not be so lucky with the weather. But the weather might not be what keeps people away, as turning the event into a police state might instead be the culprit.
