In An Unsurprising Revelation, Campaign Finance Numbers Reveal Overwhelming Deep-State Support For Hillary Clinton In 2016
by Mark Tapscott

WASHINGTON—For every Department of Defense (DOD) employee who gave to President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, five colleagues backed his opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to an Epoch Times analysis of Federal Election Commission (FEC) data.

A similar pattern was found among employees who identified the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as their employer in contributions disclosed by the FEC from 2015 to 2019.

The bias in favor of Clinton is notable because Defense and Homeland Security workers were thought to be likely to support Trump as a result of his campaign promises to strengthen and update those departments.

But within the DOD, 854 employees made more than 3,100 individual contributions to Clinton for a total of nearly $368,000. By contrast, only 116 DOD employees sent checks to Trump, with 590 individual contributions worth a total of $202,067. However, the average DOD employee contribution to Trump was much higher than the Clinton average: $342 versus $117.

For Democratic Party committees, including those at the state and county levels, only five DOD employees made contributions; the donations averaged more than $188 each, for a total of $29,607.

By contrast, Republican Party committees were supported by 23 DOD workers, who gave on average $81 each for a total of $28,451, making the organizing panels the only contribution category in which the two major parties were closely matched within the DOD.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) isn’t without support within the DOD, as between his 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, 120 defense workers contributed more than $35,000, at an average of $50 each from 697 individual donations.

A total of 457 of the Sanders checks were written for his campaign against Clinton, with the remaining 240 steered to his current presidential effort.

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) was the recipient of $18,750 in donations from 57 DOD workers, an average of $63 from 298 individual contributions.

The majority of O’Rourke’s contributions were made for his losing 2018 challenge against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), with the remainder going to his 2020 presidential campaign. O’Rourke ended the latter effort in November 2019.

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign was the recipient of contributions averaging $160 each from 24 DOD employees, for a total of $3,845.

Act Blue, a liberal group that channels contributions to Democratic candidates and causes, also received more money from DOD employees than Trump, with 1,124 donors giving more than $206,000. The average Act Blue donation, however, was much smaller at $17.67.

Another liberal campaign group, Emily’s List, received contributions from four DOD workers, averaging $46 and totaling more than $2,100.

And Moveon.org, the liberal campaign group founded in 1998 to oppose the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, was supported by 27 DOD employees, who gave an average of $14 each for a total of $800.

More than 718,000 federal civil servants work at the DOD, along with 1.4 million uniformed employees of the U.S. military.

At the DHS, Clinton was favored by 140 employees, with contributions averaging $72 and totaling more than $214,000. Thirty-five DHS workers supported Trump, giving an average of $62 for a total of slightly more than $4,200.

Republican Party committees received a total of $7,697 from 15 DHS employees, at an average of $137 each. Democratic Party committees did significantly better, getting $51,575 from 22 DHS employees, for an average of $316 each.

Act Blue was supported by 218 DHS employees who gave on average $22 each, for a total of nearly $37,000.

Sanders, Clinton’s main 2016 Democratic presidential primary opponent, was supported by 11 DHS workers, who gave an average of $42 each for a total of $2,241.

Similarly, O’Rourke received 43 contributions averaging $57 each, for a total of $2,449.

No DHS employees gave money during the five-year period to former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), or any other Democratic presidential campaign.

The DHS employs more than 240,000 workers, including those at U.S. Customs and Border Protection who deal with immigration abuses.

An Oct. 26, 2016, analysis by The Hill of FEC data for donations of $200 or more by federal workers at DOD showed Clinton getting 84 percent of the $269,135 total of contributions, compared to 16 percent for Trump.

It is sad that people fall for crap like this, at least you realize the mistake you made by spreading this for other gullible people to latch onto. This website simply spreads lies and disinformation it is likely based offshore (Russia?) and is set up to pimp Donald Trump to whoever can be suckered. This is how our nation is being hijacked with your complicity. Please use this as a learning experience and go to legitimate news sources.

Explain Life is a right wing conspiracy website that does not disclose ownership information. All articles appear to be published by Martin Walsh, who does not provide a bio. According to their about page “ExplainLife.Com is a website featuring Uncensored Daily News and Opinion on the most important health, life, political and social subjects.”

The website does not disclose ownership, thereby completely lacking transparency. Revenue is derived through advertising.

In review, Explain Life does not produce original content, but rather heavily quotes other news stories and interjects right biased opinions. Most articles contain loaded emotional language such as this: It’s Happening: Barack Obama’s Worst Nightmare Was Just Revealed. Most of the time the news stories they are republishing are derived from discredited far right sources such as the Gateway Pundit, which has failed numerous fact checks. Story selection always favors the right and in particular President Trump and frequently denigrates the left.

When not reporting extreme right biased opinions, Explain Life publishes conspiracy theories and pseudoscience such as this: U.S. Water Fluoridation: A Forced Experiment that Needs to End. The risk of fluoride has been debunked numerous times. They also promote ridiculous conspiracies such as the Clinton Body Count, Isn’t it obvious? Jeffrey Epstein Was Murdered Because Dead Men Don’t Talk. This story is sourced to the discredited Mike Adams from Natural News, a well known purveyor of fake news, conspiracies and dangerous pseudoscience. Finally, they report on conspiracies regarding Joe Biden’s health and the Deep State. In general, this is not a credible source for information.

I've always suspected you are one. Or, you have a macro that does automatic reply to anything from the left because you never say anything.

dtucker300 Loc: Vista, CA

For once you did your homework. However, I think you dismissed Fullspinzoo's point. He said, "After reading the article it doesn't say anything about jumping in. Hate websites like this. Sorry for the false alarm." It's a warning to others not to be gullible.

Your answer: "at least you realize the mistake you made by spreading this for other gullible people to latch onto." The gullible would be the ones who take it seriously. So you are one of the gullible.

Here's a way the left spreads fake news to gullible people. It's sad that lefties resort for this!

Vox Editor Rings In New Year By Spreading Fake News In Viral Tweet

PETER HASSON



Vox founder and editor-at-large Ezra Klein capped off his year by spreading misleading information in a viral tweet Tuesday.

Klein tweeted out a nine-month-old Washington Post article stating counties that hosted Trump rallies saw massive spikes in hate crimes compared to counties that didn’t host Trump rallies. Klein’s tweet garnered more than 7,000 retweets and more than 14,000 likes by Wednesday afternoon.

But what Klein didn’t tell his 2.5 million followers was that the article was based on a study that was thoroughly debunked months prior by researchers at Harvard University.

"We found that counties that had hosted a 2016 Trump campaign rally saw a 226 percent increase in reported hate crimes over comparable counties that did not host such a rally." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/03/22/trumps-rhetoric-does-inspire-more-hate-crimes/?utm_campaign=the_monkey_cage&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=Newsletter&wpisrc=nl_cage&wpmm=1 …


Analysis | Counties that hosted a 2016 Trump rally saw a 226 percent increase in hate crimes
There is suggestive evidence that Trump’s rhetoric matters.

washingtonpost.com

“The study is wrong, and yet journalists ran with it anyway,” Harvard researchers Matthew Lilley and Brian Wheaton wrote in a September article published in Reason magazine. (RELATED: Hate Crimes Decreased In President Trump’s Second Year In Office)

When Lilley and Wheaton tried to replicate the original study, they found that “adding a simple statistical control for county population to the original analysis causes the estimated effect of Trump rallies on reported hate incidents to become statistically indistinguishable from zero.”

The criteria relied upon for the first study actually demonstrated that rallies for former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton “contribute to an even greater increase in hate incidents than Trump rallies,” they noted.

“Given how little scrutiny was required to reveal the flaws in the thesis that Trump rallies cause hate incidents, one cannot help but wonder whether its viral status was aided by journalists predisposed to believe its message,” the Harvard researchers added.

Klein has yet to delete his viral-but-misleading tweet, even after others pointed out that he was promoting a debunked study.

Vox didn’t return a request for comment on whether Klein would correct the misinformation.

I saw that fullspinzoo put up the website without any comment, meaning he put it up before he read it. Just read the headline.

Not the first time he has put up threads that claim something but closer inspection reveals he hadn't read the link

Your semi-literate rants LEAD me to believe that you have no business calling anyone stupid.

dtucker300 Loc: Vista, CA

How can you be sure? Did he go back and edit his post? I don't know, but it doesn't appear so. The first response was about 30 minutes after he put up the link. I suppose it was possible.

Guess what, Vladimir Putin signed my latest pay check.

Doesn't happen often, but when dear old Vlad takes the time to sign my checks, I frame them and hang them on my wall.

Nostrovia, comrades, more Wodka please.

dtucker300 Loc: Vista, CA

You hang them on the wall? Probably because Russian rubles and kopeks aren't worth much on the exchange market. But they make great conversation pieces. Yeah, I would want to be paid in Wodka instead.
