#2  They are trying to accentuate Hillary’s robust vitality, but during the 2016 campaign she had to be loaded into a van like a tranquilized plus-sized Mandalorian being kidnapped. Based on her attire, I think we can rule out a new found dedication to Pilates.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Joe Biden set up at least four email accounts under false names while VP

  • Alexander Mackler, a onetime prosecutor in the office investigating Hunter, used one of the addresses to send a message to the Biden clan

  • Congressional Republicans are now demanding to see all emails sent to and from the secret accounts

Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock used loophole to bypass outside income limit by $125K
[FoxNews] Warnock reported earning nearly $155K from the Ebenezer Baptist Church last year, $125K of which was reported 'deferred compensation'.

Georgia senator Raphael Warnock was confronted over claims hes an election denier, after insisting the state still suffers from voter suppression after a record turnout election.

Democratic Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock bypassed outside income limits last year by using a "fabricated" loophole, according to a report.

Warnock's financial disclosure shows he received $154,895 in compensation from Atlanta's historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in 2022, while outside income for senators is limited to around $30,000.

However, Warnock exceeded the limit by claiming that $125,000 of his pay from the church was "deferred compensation for services before January 20, 2021," the Washington Free Beacon reported.

"If it was inaccurately reported on his filing and the money was actually earned after he became a senator, then the outside earned income limit would apply," Kendra Arnold, executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, told the Free Beacon.

"In that case the legal issue that would arise (in addition to exceeding the outside income limit) is filing inaccurate or false information on a personal financial disclosure, i.e. wrongly saying it was deferred compensation when it wasn't," Arnold said.

Warnock's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Ebenezer Baptist Church also did not respond to an inquiry on its financial setup with Warnock and the "deferred compensation."

Warnock began serving as senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in 2005 and has continued in the role part-time. His arrangement with the church and surrounding controversies became a centerpiece of Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker's failed campaign against Warnock last year.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger also set his sights on a foundation tied to Warnock's church. Last fall, Raffensperger probed the Ebenezer Building Foundation – operated by the Ebenezer Baptist Church – on its nonprofit status after it failed to register as a charitable organization in the state.

The Ebenezer Building Foundation owns a low-income housing unit that pursued evicting residents over past-due rent as low as $25.88, the Free Beacon reported.

Warnock, meanwhile, had received a staggering $7,417 monthly housing allowance from the church.

#1  I think I understand what he did because I follow enough NFL to understand salary cap manipulation when I see it.

#2  in his own way, Sen Warnock is one of the most repulsive characters to ever serve in the Senate

Trump's endorsement of Hershel Walker and Walker's own bizarre actions enabled Warnock's election.
