Tag: Political Corruption

Political corruption or Malpolitics is the use of powers by government officials or their network contacts for illegitimate private gain.

Forms of corruption vary, but can include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, parochialism, patronage, influence peddling, graft, and embezzlement. Corruption may facilitate criminal enterprise such as drug trafficking, money laundering, and human trafficking, though it is not restricted to these activities. Misuse of government power for other purposes, such as repression of political opponents and general police brutality, is also considered political corruption.[citation needed]

Over time, corruption has been defined differently. For example, in a simple context, while performing work for a government or as a representative, it is unethical to accept a gift. Any free gift could be construed as a scheme to lure the recipient towards some biases. In most cases, the gift is seen as an intention to seek certain favors such as work promotion, tipping in order to win a contract, job or exemption from certain tasks in the case of junior worker handing in the gift to a senior employee who can be key in winning the favor.

Some forms of corruption – now called “institutional corruption” are distinguished from bribery and other kinds of obvious personal gain. A similar problem of corruption arises in any institution that depends on financial support from people who have interests that may conflict with the primary purpose of the institution.

An illegal act by an officeholder constitutes political corruption only if the act is directly related to their official duties, is done under color of law or involves trading in influence. The activities that constitute illegal corruption differ depending on the country or jurisdiction. For instance, some political funding practices that are legal in one place may be illegal in another. In some cases, government officials have broad or ill-defined powers, which make it difficult to distinguish between legal and illegal actions. Worldwide, bribery alone is estimated to involve over 1 trillion US dollars annually. A state of unrestrained political corruption is known as a kleptocracy, literally meaning “rule by thieves”.

Unlike the left, we won’t burn buildings to ground, but we will use our God-given rights to gather peaceably, show our President we support his efforts to have a fair election, and that we will not roll over and accept this fraudulent, third-world country-style election. Share this with everyone you know and GET TO YOUR CAPITOL! The Jericho March Every day at NOON (12pm) WHO: All people determined to fight for our Country, our President and the integrity of our Elections are invited to peacefully gather at state Capitol buildings in the key swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Nevada. WHY: We will bring fraud and irregularities in voting to light, and call on State Legislators to name electors who will honor our votes to re-elect President Trump. HOW: We peacefully protest by marching, singing, praying for President Trump's reelection and for integrity in our elections across the country. God is calling our nation to revival through repentance. Bring your shofar! Like the walls of Jericho fell and God gave Israel the promised land, so we shall march and Trump be raised up by the Lord. The obvious irregularities in voting must be shown in the light to the public, and government officials must act justly to stop the cheating and fraud on the American people. WHERE: The Capitol Building of key swing states, including Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Nevada. WHEN: Every day at NOON (12pm), starting on Friday, November 6, 2020. ARIZONA Stop the Steal November 6th at 6PM Show up to the Protect the Vote Rally organized by Turning Point Action on Friday, November 6th at 6:00 PM to protect YOUR vote and help swing Arizona back to President Trump.

It is important that election officials see the public pressure to ensure that we have a valid and legitimate count of the vote. If the public is deemed to not care, it will be immensely easier for nefarious things to happen. The slogan of the Washington Post is: “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” Ironically, if patriots don’t show up and make their voices heard, The Washington Post and other mainstream media outlets will let our democratic process of selecting the President of the United States die in darkness. Let’s be the light.

Trump campaign attacks Fox News polling expert who called Arizona for Biden

Avatarby USNN2020November 5, 2020May 16, 2024
On Tuesday night, the American people spoke. They spoke with millions upon millions of voices to produce the greatest presidential election voter turnout in over a century. And they sent a variety of messages, most of them quite positive. Voters rejected the prevailing narratives of a media determined to make the election a pure referendum on Donald Trump's character. Even if former Vice President Joe Biden prevails eventually, he will likely be faced with a Republican Senate majority and a 2022 contest that will put the House of Representatives squarely in Republican sights. Voters rejected the pollsters' overconfident modeling: Pollsters were dramatically wrong in their national numbers and just as wrong in their Senate estimates. Voters apparently aren't all that interested in registering their opinions with elite firms who see them as social science subjects rather than as individuals. TRUMP WAS 'CORRECT' THAT ELECTION WOULD BE 'MUCH CLOSER' THAN MOST THOUGHT: FRANK LUNTZ Voters stuck to their guns in red states; they stuck to their guns in blue states; they stuck to their guns in purple states. One message resonated above all others: the outright rejection of the ongoing quest by Democrats and the media to paint Americans into racial categories and then declare demographics destiny. America is divided, and it is not growing less divided just out of the elitists' overwrought and hysterical mewling about Trump. This is still a country that is one-third conservative, one-third liberal and one-third in the middle. Polling was so wrong, Trump was correct: LuntzVideo But one message resonated above all others: the outright rejection of the ongoing quest by Democrats and the media to paint Americans into racial categories and then declare demographics destiny. placeholder Donald Trump bucked four long years of Democrats and media members labeling both him and his supporters White supremacists, bigots and homophobes. CLICK HERE TO GET THE OPINION NEWSLETTER He refused to be cowed by a media determined to paint him as a racist for refusing the faulty premise that America is institutionally bigoted. And he won an increased share of Black and Hispanic voters. More from Opinion Doug Schoen: Trump and Biden's tight race proof we need to do this right after the results are in Matt Gorman: Whether it's Trump or Biden, Democrats face a reckoning unlike any they've had in a generation Gutfeld on the media and pollsters getting it wrong According to Edison exit polling, as of election night, Trump had gained 2 points with White women; 4 points with Black men and 4 points with Black women; 3 points with Latino men and 3 points with Latino women; and 5 points in the "other" category. In Florida, according to NBC News exit polling, Trump's coalition included a 55% share of the Cuban American vote, a 30% share of the Puerto Rican vote and 48% of "other Latinos." Trump substantially elevated the national share of Latino and Black voters for Republicans -- and did so without pandering on illegal immigration or buying into the trite and ugly lies of the Black Lives Matter movement. It wasn't just Trump. In California, a majority-minority state, voters refused to greenlight the racist Proposition 16, which would have repealed a state constitutional provision banning racial discrimination, paving the way for reparations and affirmative action. They did so by a margin of over 10 points and despite the fact that Prop 16 advocates spent 12 times the money their opponents did. placeholder All of this has sent woke thinkers into spasms of apoplexy. Nikole Hannah-Jones, creator of the pseudo-historical "1619 Project," tweeted out that Latinos can no longer be considered a racial category since some Cubans are "white." Charles Blow of The New York Times tweeted, "We are surrounded by racists." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Actually, Hannah-Jones and Blow aren't surrounded by racists. They're surrounded by people who reject racism and reject the implicitly racist belief that ethnicity ought to dictate voting patterns. All of this is excellent news. Americans spoke Tuesday night. They spoke as Americans, as individuals, not as members of contrived interest groups. And that is certainly worth celebrating.
