<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/12/01/blm-revolt-local-chapters-want-answers-finances-transparency-national-leaders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an online statement</a>, leaders of several local <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/organizations/black-lives-matter-blm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Lives Matter (BLM)</a> chapters around the U.S. said they want transparency about finances and other operations from the national group.
&#8220;[W]e expected that the central organizational entity, most recently referred to as the Black Lives Matter Global Network (BLMGN) Foundation, would support us chapters in our efforts to build communally,&#8221; the statement reads. &#8220;Since the establishment of BLMGN, our chapters have consistently raised concerns about financial transparency, decision making, and accountability. Despite years of effort, no acceptable internal process of accountability has ever been produced by BLMGN and these recent events have undermined the efforts of chapters seeking to democratize its processes and resources.&#8221;
Among the statement&#8217;s grievances are a complaint that founding member <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/patrisse-cullors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrisse Cullors</a> became Executive Director &#8220;against the will of most chapters and without their knowledge&#8221;; that the &#8220;formation of BLM Grassroots effectively separated the majority of chapters from BLMGN without their consent&#8221;; that there is &#8220;no acceptable process of either public or internal transparency&#8221; regarding the financial operations of BLMGN; and that &#8220;most chapters have received little to no financial support from BLMGN since the launch in 2013.&#8221;
“We will move forward with transparency and expound on our collective efforts to seek transparency and organizational unity in a fuller statement in the near future,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;As we collectively determine next steps, we encourage our supporters to donate directly to chapters, who represent the frontline of Black Lives Matter.”
The local chapters signing the statement include Washington, DC, Chicago, Vancouver, Washington, and Philadelphia.

Local BLM Chapters Want Answers on Finances From National Leaders

<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/12/02/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-slams-moderate-democrats-for-criticizing-her-tactics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a Twitter response</a>, Rep. <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/alexandria-ocasio-cortez/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</a> (AOC) snapped back at Sen. Joe Manchin for his dismissal of her as a lawmaker who is “more active on Twitter than anything else,” saying she finds it &#8220;amusing when politicians try to diminish the seriousness&#8221; of her work.
“I guess she put the dagger stare on me,” Manchin said in a Times interview published Monday, referring to AOC staring him down for clapping during President Trump’s State of the Union address. “I don’t know the young lady — I really don’t. I never met her. I’m understanding she’s not that active with her bills or in committee. She’s more active on Twitter than anything else.”
“I find it amusing when politicians try to diminish the seriousness of our policy work, movement organizing &amp; grassroots fundraising to ‘she just tweets,’ as though ‘serious’ politics is only done by begging corporate CEOs for money through wax-sealed envelopes delivered by raven,” AOC wrote in apparent response.
This isn&#8217;t the first time AOC has glared disapprovingly at the man some describe as the “most conservative Senate Democrat.” Last month, she posted an image of herself staring him down over his refusal to embrace her &#8220;crazy socialist agenda&#8221; to defund the police.
“Defund the police? Defund, my butt. I’m a proud West Virginia Democrat. We are the party of working men and women. We want to protect Americans’ jobs &amp; healthcare. We do not have some crazy socialist agenda, and we do not believe in defunding the police,” Manchin declared, earning another evil eye from the radical Congresswoman.

James O’Keefe’s undercover video Project Veritas <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2020/12/01/james-okeefe-we-taped-two-months-of-cnn-editorial-calls-with-jeff-zucker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released the first of what he calls two months&#8217; worth of audio recordings</a> of CNN editorial calls with network president <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/jeff-zucker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeff Zucker</a> on Tuesday.
In one recording, CNN staff are apparently heard to agree that they should not provide President Trump with a “platform” to contest the election results, claiming that the 9/11 terror attacks were partly a result of an awkward transition after the 2000 election: “News organizations have to be very careful &amp; very responsible about not giving @realDonaldTrump too much of a platform on his not conceding&#8230;” Zucker can be heard to say. 

In another recording, Zucker is heard criticizing the president for “acting erratically,” and claiming that CNN’s chyrons were “too polite” to him. Zucker is also heard directing staff to target Sen. Lindsey Graham, whom he says “really deserves it.”
In another recording, a CNN executive is heard accusing Fox News’s Tucker Carlson of &#8220;naked racism,&#8221; calling his program “White Supremacy Hour.”
This&#8230; is CNN.

<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/12/02/ilhan-omar-refutes-obama-defund-the-police-is-not-a-slogan-but-a-policy-demand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> In a Twitter rebuttal</a>, Rep. <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/ilhan-omar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ilhan Omar</a> responded to <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/organizations/president-barack-obama/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Barack Obama</a>&#8216;s belief that “snappy” slogans like “defund the police” lose supporters, arguing that it is “not a slogan but a policy demand.”
“You lost a big audience the minute you say it, which makes it a lot less likely that you’re actually going to get the changes you want done,” Obama explained in an interview on the Snapchat show Good Luck America. “The key is deciding, do you want to actually get something done, or do you want to feel good among the people you already agree with?”
“We lose people in the hands of police. It’s not a slogan but a policy demand. And centering the demand for equitable investments and budgets for communities across the country gets us progress and safety,” Omar wrote in reply.
This is indicative of an ongoing debate among Democrats, some of whom are nervous that the more openly radical members like Omar will spook &#8220;moderate&#8221; voters. “We have to commit to not saying the words ‘defund the police’ ever again,” Rep. Abigail Spanberger said following the election, for example. “We need to not ever use the words socialist or socialism ever again. It does matter, and we have lost good members because of that.”
Too late &#8212; the Democrat party is already in the grip of the more radical elements, who have only begun to drag the party harder left.

Omar: Defund the Police Is ‘Not a Slogan but a Policy Demand’

<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/12/01/schumer-i-agree-with-biden-planning-to-give-trans-students-access-to-sports-bathrooms-locker-rooms-based-on-identity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During a press conference on Tuesday</a>, Senate Minority Leader <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/charles-schumer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chuck Schumer</a> said he agrees with prematurely-proclaimed President-Elect <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/joe-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>’s plan to grant transgender children access to sports, bathrooms, and locker rooms according to their gender self-identification.
Schumer was asked, “Joe Biden said that on his first day of office, he will give transgender students access to sports, bathrooms, and locker rooms in accordance with their gender identity in all federally-funded schools. Do you think he has the ability to do this, and do you agree with this decision?”
“I agree with the decision, and I know he’ll check things out thoroughly, legally,” Schumer replied.
Of course he agrees. The far-left has elevated transgenderism to the top of identity politics victimhood. Far from being considered a medical/psychological condition that should be treated, it is now celebrated in the culture. This has led to predatory male individuals taking advantage of our woke national lunacy to gain unquestioned access to women&#8217;s bathrooms and locker rooms, and to dominate women&#8217;s sports simply by &#8220;self-identifying&#8221; as transgender. Biden and Schumer don&#8217;t care about the ramifications of this for women.

<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/12/02/sanders-weve-got-to-go-a-lot-further-than-bipartisan-covid-relief-proposal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wednesday on CNN’s AC360</a>, lifelong communist Sen. <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/bernie-sanders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bernie Sanders</a> stated that the bipartisan coronavirus relief proposal currently languishing in limbo because of Democrat obstruction is “a start,” but “we’ve got to go a lot further&#8221; than what it now entails.
Sanders claimed that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s proposal “is literally laughable. He doesn’t have a nickel for unemployment supplements. We provided, in the past, at least $600 a week. He doesn’t have a penny. All over this country, people are worried about being evicted. There is no $1,200 check for those people. So, I think his proposal is literally laughable.”
It is Democrats, of course, not McConnell&#8217;s Republican party, who are responsible for the millions of people unemployed and worried about eviction because of pointless, draconian coronavirus lockdowns. And Sanders has the socialist&#8217;s typical utopian grasp of economics, whereby the government would somehow pay every working adult in the country $600 a week indefinitely. But to Sanders, heartless Republicans are the problem.
He continued, “I think the other proposal brought forth may be a start for discussions. But we’ve got to go a lot further than what that proposal now entails. For example, that proposal does not have the $1,200. I would do $2,000 a month of stimulus check, but it’s a start. But we’ve got to build on that.”
Here&#8217;s an idea: let people go back to work instead of hooking them on big-government dependency the country can&#8217;t afford.
