Biden and state Dems keep using rigged statistics to try and convince Americans that crime is down and the economy is great. But not only isn’t crime down, but Democrat crime keeps hitting new highs.
Ten days before her home was raided by the FBI, Mayor Sheng Thao of Oakland responded to false claims by Gov. Newsom that crime was down in Oakland.
Thank you for your support, Governor Newsom.
Our collaborative work exemplifies good governance in action. With CHP surges, the redeployment of our foot patrols, and our revamped Ceasefire program, we are seeing a decrease in crime across the board in Oakland.

“Thank you for your support, Governor Newsom. Our collaborative work exemplifies good governance in action. With CHP surges, the redeployment of our foot patrols, and our revamped Ceasefire program, we are seeing a decrease in crime across the board in Oakland,” she tweeted.
Ten days later the FBI raided her home.
Just as the sun rose Thursday, FBI agents raided the home of Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao. There is no official word about the reason for the investigation, but sources tell the ABC7 I-Team it involves a political corruption case against the mayor and some of her supporters.
More than a dozen FBI agents emerged from Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao’s house after four hours inside. They carried boxes, plastic tubs and trash bags and left without comment. Witnesses heard a ruckus before 6 a.m.
Later, Mayor Thao’s partner and father of her two children, Andre Jones, emerged with a bag and refused to comment before he left.
Law enforcement sources tell ABC7 News this is a public corruption case, with the FBI, IRS and US Postal Service working together. Agents hit several locations, including the offices of California Waste Solutions – we spotted IRS investigators there.
The company was started by David and Victor Duong who were under investigation by the Public Ethics Commission for funneling money through “straw donors” to council members, a story first reported by Oaklandside in 2020.
Thao allegedly received some of that money. She also traveled with the Duong brothers who funded the trade mission to Vietnam last summer. All this, in a week with her recall being approved for a vote.
Good governance in action.

I notice the media wasn’t notified ahead of time, there was no tactical unit raid of the premises, and Thao and her ‘partner’ weren’t made to stand outside while the search was being conducted. That’s quite a difference from their treatment of Republicans.

Thanks Daniel! An odd case.
Rich Vietnamese donors to the Oakland City Council, owners of a waste management company, which is a big cash generating industry around here, with lots of squabbles over the years between interested parties. All the politicians involved seem to be Democrats, of course (don’t know of any Republican politicians in office around here).
So who initiated the investigations? Democrats going after Democrats? Business competitors going after a rival?

that’s why they are called demon-Rats that turn on their own when there is no MAGA to blame!

Thank you for the background

The policies of liberal depravity will eventually come back to bite them, and we are seeing it now. We have a nation in free fall as this lawlessness continues to get worse.
John Eddy says
Daniel, here’s another candidate for your list of “Racist Mayors.”
Daniel Greenfield says
Between the recall and investigation she may not be long in the mayor’s office

This demon-cRat and RINO rape and sell out of our nation federally, state by state, city by city, county by county, is the number one cause of the lawlessness in our cities, counties, states and nations. They are cabals of criminals that have no conscious to lie and blame others. They are cons. Grifters. They soul their soul to lozrfr-zatan. The strength of our US Constitution is being tested. Moreover YHVH will not be mocked! HIS rules and ways are set in the fabric of life in HIS fabric of creation and humans and the devil will not change it. When we call on HIM HE responds. We are looking at all causes of this demonic take over except that it’s a demonic take over! Criminals are not punished or face punitive charges but say you are pro-life, pro-Constitution and pro-MAGA and that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen and the 2022 election in Arizona also rigged and stolen and you are indicted and prosecuted! Ignore Congressional subpoenas of kangaroo court CONgrASS you are jailed but not if you are linked to the deep state and the currently installed diaper pooping president who is 100% compromised and proved to be a grifting money launderer and antisemite racist and more actual crimes than they accuse President Trump of made up crimes and deep state government officials with security clearance falsifying documents after documents, November 5, 2024 is our last chance to turn this out of control nation around from its collision course! That will be one year and nearly one month since the Israeli genocide on 10-7-2023 and that war will still be going on!
