Massive conflict of interest found on anti-Trump federal judge

Federal District Court Judge John McConnell, an Obama judge, has been trying to protect federal payments to liberal organizations against the budget cutting efforts of DOGE through his court orders. Now it turns out that McConnell has a massive conflict of interest that he has failed to disclose. McConnell's own NGO has been receiving $117 Million in federal funding, including $42 Million during the Biden regime.

McConnell has his own snout deep in the federal pig trough of money and now is trying to protect that pig trough of money for liberal groups such as his. Given this background, there is absolutely no way he could be objective on this issue.

McConnell has served for years on the Board of Directors of Crossroads Rhode Island, the liberal NGO in question, and over a decade as its chairman, including most of his tenure as a federal judge. Federal funds represent half of Crossroads Rhode Island's budget. The organization is involved in "social programs." McConnell is now listed as a Board member and "Chairman Emeritus"

McConnell had to know that this was a conflict of interest, but he failed to disclose it to the parties in the case before him. Indeed, it is likely that in their judge shopping, the plaintiffs sought out McConnell due to this conflict of interest in their favor.

To make matters worse, that is not John McConnell's only conflict of interest. He is also an extreme partisan, having a long history as a mega-donot to Democrat candidates and organizations, giving them hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions.

John McConnell is a disgrace to our judicial system. Fortunately, Articles of Impeachment were already in the works in Congress against him when this latest conflict of interest broke.

On a more positive note, even in the notorious DC federal district court, which has a reputation as a cesspool of leftwing judges, as does it circuit court, it is still possible to sometimes get a judge who actually follows the law instead of blatant politics, as the union suing to block DOGE access to Treasury systems found out the hard way.

Jann- see what I mean?

No news source is complexly accurate or unbiased.
But the mere mention of the blue sky and the NY Times.........and you can see their heads fly off.
If MAGA is not 100% validated, they can't deal with it. No compromise. No critical thinking, no shades of gray.

In a complex world, you really think that level of fascist tendency is gonna work out?
I don't.

If Little Bobbie spoke Spanish, he would be trying to tell us that Radio Havana was factual and credible and a good source for real news. In reality, it has about the same mix of propaganda as the New York Times.

The Covid era was another time when the New York Times would only report what was "politically correct" under the government narrative. During that period, the oldest medical journal in the world, the BMJ (British Medical Journal) pusblished an editorial blasting media for refusing to report peer-reviewed scientific studies that disagreed with the government narratives, saying such media were going against both freedom of speech and academic freedom. Similarly when govenrment aligned media like the New York Times refused to acknowledge a peer reviewed study by Danish medical researchers that masks did not work against Covid, the Center for Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University blasted the propaganda media for the same reasons.

That Yale University analysis of the New York Times bias in the conflict between Hamas terrorists and Israel, where the Times was biased in favor of Hamas fits right in with Bigot Bob being an apologist for Hamas in that same conflict. But this is not the New YOrk Times first rodeo with anti-semitism. For much of the Nazi rule in Germany, the New York Times was a denier of the Nazis doing anything wrong toward their Jewish population. Indeed I recall one New York Times article linked here a couple of years ago where the New York Times reported with a straight face in the mid 1930s that a new local German gun control law that prohibited Jews from owning guns was because Jews were threatening Nazis with guns. Only the most gullible, or the most propaganda oriented would have reportd that with a straight face!

Am I hearing that indisputable "facts" are being delivered to us from the far-Left echo chamber? Well, I've given BBob ample time to demonstrate a spirit of learning and growing while engaging in interesting dialog. It is not to be.

What he should have said previously is something like for example, Musk perhaps misread that screwed up SSA data and exaggerated the payments, but still there is almost $72 billion in improper payments from the agency, and DOGE is providing a long overdue service.

But no. Instead, race is brought into conversations that have absolutely nothing to do with race and Musk is falsely portrayed as a South African racist with the insinuation that all white South Africans are racist.

Additionally, when he accuses advocates of a color-blind society of being in some way responsible for slavery and Jim Crow, that is highly insulting.

Going back into the catalog of outright false statements, for example the time when he said there were zero free blacks in the antebellum South when there were hundreds of thousands of them at that time. When it is pointed out that he is kinda way off on the crazy pronouncement he doubles down. There are volumes of those type examples.

Not much constructive can come from dialog with that level of hostility and dishonesty other than just letting him demonstrate the lunacy coming out of the extreme Left in this present-day world in which we live. I suppose we should thank him for that.

Jann - See the RH post. He makes my point biggly. Thanks bud.

Stan-

Fact - some white men are racist. How can you possibly deny it? Is racism a wide spread cross cultural phenomena? Absolutely. Racism is an unfortunate part of the human condition. The dominant culture does not, and should not, get a pass.

Fact - trump has fascist tendencies. How could you possibly deny it? His politics aren't really the issue for me. I object to the attack on our system of government and the abject cruelty of his administration.

We should all fear trump. I will never respect him.

Big Bob: I understand well your facts - "White men are racist; Trump is a Fascist, MAGA is stupid and evil."

Bolshevik Bob is delusional, as usual, asserting that the left wing narrative is "fact" and the the propagandists of the MSM should be believed without question. He probably thinks Margaret Brennan is objective and believable. Polling data shows that the majority of Americans have figured out that the MSM speaks with a forked tongue and is very, very politically biased.

The New York Times is as politically biased and full of propaganda as Pravda was in Stalin's day. For objective print media, one has to go across the pond to the UK, although staying in New York, you are much more likely to get true and honest news from the New York Post, one of America's oldest and largest newspapers.

Here is just the latest example of New York Times bias. An academic study at Yale University of New York Times coverage of the Hamas-Israel war has found that the Times coverage was biased in favor of Hamas.
