How Obama is funding the anti-Trump resistance




By Paul Sperry


Wall Street might be shocked to learn it is helping bankroll the anti-Trump “resistance” movement that’s aggressively fighting policies it favors — including corporate tax cuts and the repeal of Obama-era banking and health-care regulations.
The Obama administration’s massive shakedown of Big Banks over the mortgage crisis included unprecedented back-door funding for dozens of Democratic activist groups who were not even victims of the crisis.
At least three liberal nonprofit organizations the Justice Department approved to receive funds from multibillion-dollar mortgage settlements were instrumental in killing the ObamaCare repeal bill and are now lobbying against GOP tax reform, as well as efforts to rein in illegal immigration.
An estimated $640 million has been diverted into what critics say is an improper, if not unconstitutional, “slush fund” fed from government settlements with JPMorgan Chase and Co., Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp., according to congressional sources.
The payola is potentially earmarked for third-party interest groups approved by the Justice Department and HUD without requiring any proof of how the funds will be spent. Many of the recipients so far are radical leftist organizations who solicited the settlement cash from the administration even though they were not parties to the lawsuits, records show.
“During the Obama administration, groups committed to ‘revolutionary social change’ sent proposals and met with high-level HUD and Justice Department officials to try to get their pieces of the settlement pie,” Cause of Action Institute vice president Julie Smith told The Post.
Some of the chosen beneficiaries are now actively militating against the Trump administration and its policies, including:
THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF LA RAZA

The Hispanic-rights group strenuously protested the Republican-led “skinny” repeal of the Affordable Care Act after receiving at least $1.5 million from the Obama regime’s bank settlement funds, congressional researchers say.
The notoriously radical organization, which advocates on behalf of illegal immigrants, argued the Trump proposal would have a “harmful impact” on the Hispanic community, including stripping potentially “8 million Latinos” of medical coverage.
“The Latino community cannot afford a repeal of the ACA,” La Raza warned its members, while encouraging them to fight the legislation in email alerts.
In July, the group held a large rally to protest the repeal effort in Arizona — GOP Sen. John McCain’s home state. The event is said to have influenced McCain’s decision to cast the deciding vote to kill the proposal.
La Raza has a long and checkered history of promoting illegal immigration and advocating for welfare benefits and even driver’s licenses for undocumented Latino immigrants. Currently, it’s lobbying (under a new and less controversial name, UnidosUS) against what it calls “the Trump administration’s senseless and Draconian anti-immigrant policies,” fighting specifically GOP bills “to fund [the] immoral border wall” with Mexico.
“President Trump has again chosen to appease the bigots in his base,” La Raza asserted in a statement posted on its website. “It’s time to translate injustice into action.”
During last year’s presidential campaign, La Raza’s Chicago branch was among the groups that deployed thousands of protesters to the University of Illinois at Chicago, forcing then-candidate Trump to cancel a scheduled event there for safety reasons.
La Raza works closely with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and has teamed up with the anti-Trump resistance group, Indivisible, which was co-founded by La Raza alumnus Angel Padilla. Indivisible is working with La Raza and its affiliates to make sure “any bill that punishes sanctuary cities never goes to Trump’s desk to become law.” They are encouraging activists to send postcards with pre-printed messages on immigration and health care to moderate GOP senators.
NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE

After receiving at least $1.2 million from the bank-settlement slush fund, the African-American advocacy group solicited its supporters to oppose efforts to repeal ObamaCare by signing a letter to senators arguing “African-Americans stand to be disproportionately impacted.” It claimed more than 5 million black people would lose coverage under repeal legislation.

You mean the conservative New York Post?

Trump is doing his best to direct his light trickle of urine towards the NFL again this morning. What a dotard! And an embarrassment to the office of the presidency.

And Trump objecting to the NFL's efforts to make the game safer for players and reduce incidents of CTE. This guy is just a terrible human being.

Yeah! almost as bad as your good pal and fellow looney KJU!




actually, I was just kidding, Trump is not "almost as bad" as you and your pal. He's nowhere near as bad. Only you loonies would think that being critical of the NFL for not supporting/respecting our nation is worse than threatening nuclear war.

The threat of nuclear war is a very predictable reaction from the provocative rhetoric Trump has used with North Korea.

The fact that Trump clearly doesn't care about human life should be more disturbing to his supporters.

You're kidding, right? Trump's supporters support Trump regardless of how disturbing Trump is.

The fools disrespecting those who protect and have died for us by following Kapernick is what's disturbing. It went from the protest of the unknown, to a protest about Kapernick's job loss to a protest of Trump. At least the line has been drawn.

Yeah, Trump just drew the line.

History will report that he caused the premiums of Obamacare to increase and he cause the nfl players to take a knee. It's fun to watch the media in melt down mode because they realize the deplorables have much more of a voice than they realized.

I guess the Trump team learned nothing from HRC's email problems.

Yes rule breakers need punishing including Kushner if true (Did he hold a true government position during the time period in question immediately after the inauguration?). And Obama and his minions including Hillary and Bill need to be in jail. Period!

So if Kim does launch a nuke at someone, is it Trumps fault? Is that your preordained response? Sounds like all is missing is Kim actually launching a missile.

KJU would be at fault, but that wouldn't exculpate Trump for his responsibility in provoking it. Diplomacy by unvetted Tweets is a recipe for disaster though.
