Judicial Watch announced today it received 25 pages of records in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from the Washington, DC Department of Transportation which show the cost to taxpayers to repaint the Black Lives Matter slogan on a street in the nation’s capital was over $270,000. (The repainting seems to have taken place shortly before Black Lives Matter groups began defending Hamas terrorist murders of Jews in Israel.)

Painting that BLM outside the WhiteHouse...in 2020..and NOW repainting it...is merely to remind the world who lays claim to the White House
Biden’s handing over tax dollars to help out BLM is so typical.
No less a personage than Jewish defense group’s ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt called out the Writers Guild for refusing to issue a statement. Greenblatt tells Variety, “Hollywood was quick to declare support for Black Lives Matter, as they should, and for Time’s Up (post Weinstein sexual assault group), as they should, and myriad other important causes.”
BLM’s incendiary praise for Hamas’s murderous terror attack was anti-Semitic in the extreme: “BLM stands in solidarity with our Palestinian family who are currently resisting Israel’s 57 years of “settler colonialism and apartheid,” the organization affirmed. BLM said they see “clear parallels” between oppression of Black and Palestinian people.
Also, Greenblatt did not seem concerned that a liberal sexual-assault group director was fired for signing a letter written by various sexual assault organizations that blatantly denied Israeli women were sexually violated by Hamas terrorists.
DC delenda est.
I’m in the process of painting the exterior of my home.
Paint $75/gallon (high quality Sherwin Williams)
12 gallons required for three coats= $900
Tools= $250
Time= 30 hours
...if I was being paid $30/hour= $900
Total is less than $2500
Leave it to corrupt government and unions to be complete scammers.
$270,000..! This just gotta be the Bee. :(

When you’re part of the population that has to write a check to the IRS, that $270,000 takes insult to another level. The political graft industry and bloated Administrative State must have really feared that President Trump would decimate their cash cow. I hope President Trump has that chance again.
Dumb idea of the week: Pay a big commission to Representatives and Senators that cut actual spending. Payment earned if a year over year cut was 100% actually achieved. The US Legislative body is coin operated, maybe the behavior should be driven by a value to US citizens vs. corporate and foreign interests. I’d rather a congresscritter earn $1M for having cut $200M, than having received a $1M campaign donation with a legislative agenda attached to it. This commission would also serve as a measure of effectiveness, and for those who receive a very low commission- reason to look a lot closer at how they’re being funded. Hell, it might even result in congresscritters actually pressuring each other to cut spending.
D.C. aka Demonic Captivity
This is federal government money, though, so the calculations are completely different.
53,551.20 for supplies.
The labor . . . totaled $217,680.
Overt racism.
By government.
Antifa and BLM are all Democrats.
No prosecutions for murder and mayhem. See what happened to California professor who attacked people with bike lock and other BLM murders and Antifa attacks. The ‘brown shirts’ don’t face justice. For conservatives it’s Just Us .
The report said 5 employees.
It said the work was done in November 2023-—which isn’t OVER yet.
I did the math.
NOTHING makes any sense.
Would be about 1088 hours per worker. CANNOT compute.
