The House Ethics Committee has at last charged Maxine Waters (D-CA) with debasement.
In 2008, Maxine organized a gathering between the Treasury Department and delegates of OneUnited bank – where her better half was an eminent investor.
As an individual from the House Financial Committee, she could straightforwardly contact then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to talk with him about gathering with minority-claimed banks. Through her endeavors, OneUnited bank could get $12 million in government bailout subsidizing to help cover expected misfortunes from the crumple of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
In the event that OneUnited had gone under, Maxine’s better half could have lost as much as $350,000. Goodness, and she procured her own grandson (Mikael Moore) to fill in as her head of staff.
“By reaching then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to ask for a gathering, purportedly for a gathering of minority-claimed banks, yet then orchestrating just a single bank – OneUnited, in which she had a money related premium – to go to, Rep. Waters disregarded House irreconcilable circumstance rules,” contends Melanie Sloan, Executive Director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).
A House govern expecting individuals to act in ways that have a credib impact on the chamber
A House govern forbidding officials from utilizing their situations for monetary benefit
An administration morals statute forbidding the apportioning of “exceptional favors”
In 2011, Maxine made it onto CREW’s rundown of “most degenerate” lawmakers. Today, at age 78, she has developed as one of the nation’s driving commentators of President Trump.
Dave Hodges of The Common Sense Show calls Maxine the “perfect case” for “the congressional gathering who passionately contradicts Donald Trump, declines to work with him despite the fact that he’s expanded his hand over the passageway, despite the fact that he’s a man that has set up understudy programs in Maxine Waters’ region… this nation is on a crash course with common war in view of individuals like Maxine Waters.”
Creator’s Note: Maxine has a long history of suspicious conduct. She is an insane individual who has been chosen to the House 10 times. The media likes to cover her tricks however has generally abstained from covering her defilement accusations. This could really be a move by Democrats to dispose of her.

Oh Oh, now the liberal left will become really unhinged. Well, at least more than usual.
Since the wimpy Republicans in Congress wouldn’t do it, on Friday the Trump administration moved forward with a proposal that would effectively ban Planned Parenthood and such organizations from providing abortion and related services under the same roof as operations funded by federal family-planning grants.
The already established Hyde amendment actually bans the use of competitive federal family-planning grant funds for abortion. But until now organizations such as Planned Parenthood have traditionally used the federal money for other health services while using private money for abortions and related services at the same facilities and with the same staff.
So basically what President Trump wants to do here is stop federally funding abortion altogether. And why not? Why does the already overburdened American Taxpayer have to pay for people who forgot, or aren’t even responsible enough to use birth control?

Of course, the left has already started with the “basic women’s rights” argument, but honestly, is k*****g an unborn baby a right? And don’t you liberals dare start with the whole “what if it was because of r**e” argument. You guys know very well that only represents a tiny minuscule number of pregnancies.
When exactly did “women’s health” turn into the idea that us taxpayers need to fund the k*****g of unborn babies? There is no reason whatsoever for us to have to fund this. there are countless celebrities who have money to burn on the left who can use their money to fund abortion on demand. Or even George Soros who has no problem throwing away any amount of money if it goes against anything the right stands for.
Here is more on this story via The Weekly Standard:
“The executive action is based on a 1988 Reagan regulation, but can’t eliminate most of Planned Parenthood’s federal funding.
On Friday, the Trump administration will announce a proposed rule to cut taxpayer funding to abortionists like Planned Parenthood under Title X, a program that provides $260 million annually in federal funding for contraception and other “family planning” initiatives.
“The proposal would require a bright line of physical as well as financial separation between Title X programs and any program (or facility) where abortion is performed, supported, or referred for as a method of family planning,” a Trump administration official tells THE WEEKLY STANDARD in an email.
The 1970 law establishing Title X states: “None of the funds appropriated under this title shall be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning.” But in the 1970s and 1980s, the law was interpreted to allow Title X programs to refer patients for abortions, be co-located with abortion clinics, and lobby for pro-abortion policies—so long as federal dollars did not directly fund abortions. In 1988, President Reagan’s secretary of Health and Human Services issued regulations to end these practices that blurred the line between funding contraception and promoting abortion.
The 1988 Reagan regulation was immediately challenged in court and never enforced, but it was upheld by the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision in the case Rust v. Sullivan. By the time abortionists might have actually lost their Title X funds, however, Bill Clinton took office and k****d the Reagan regulation, a policy that has remained in effect to this day. This anti-abortion regulation wasn’t reinstated by the George W. Bush administration.
“Unlike the Reagan regulation, the proposal will not prohibit counseling for clients about abortion, but neither will it include the current, potentially illegal mandate that projects must counsel and refer for abortion,” a Trump administration official tells TWS. “This proposal does not necessarily defund Planned Parenthood, as long as they’re willing to disentangle taxpayer funds from abortion as a method of family planning, which is required by the Title X law. Any grantees that perform, support, or refer for abortion have a choice – disentangle themselves from abortion or fund their activities with privately raised funds.”
If and when Title X prohibits funding for abortionists, Planned Parenthood would still keep the overwhelming majority of its funding, which is mostly provided under Medicaid and may only be cut off through legislation signed into law by the president.
Efforts to defund Planned Parenthood gained momentum in Congress in 2015 after undercover videos revealed that Planned Parenthood had been selling the body parts of aborted human beings to for-profit biotech companies. But defunding efforts largely failed in 2017 for several reasons. A few senators who supported defunding Planned Parenthood in 2015–Republican Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Democrats Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Joe Donnelly of Indiana–opposed defunding in 2017, leaving the Senate divided 50-50 on the issue. In March 2017, Vice President Mike Pence cast a tie-breaking vote to allow states to defund Planned Parenthood.
Language cutting off federal funding to Planned Parenthood was included in every serious bill considered in 2017 to partially repeal Obamacare, including the one that passed the House and the “skinny repeal” bill that failed by one vote in the Senate.
After Obamacare repeal efforts failed in 2017, congressional Republicans did not heed calls to make a last-ditch effort to use their reconciliation bill (the process by which the Senate can annually pass substantive legislation that cannot be filibustered) to defund Planned Parenthood as a standalone measure.
Congressional Republicans then decided not to include Planned Parenthood language in their subsequent reconciliation bill to pass tax reform out of fear that it would cost them the necessary votes of Republicans Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins.
House Speaker Paul Ryan privately assured pro-life groups at the time that language defunding Planned Parenthood would be included in this year’s reconciliation bill, but any remaining hope that this Congress would defund Planned Parenthood was very likely scuttled on December 12, when Alabama Democrat Doug Jones defeated Republican Roy Moore in the special election to fill Jeff Sessions’s Senate seat, leaving a majority of the Senate opposed to defunding Planned Parenthood.”
