Between Newsom’s Chinese mask deal and Garcetti’s deal with Qatar, California’s “nation-state” foreign policy is a national security threat. States and nations aren’t meant to have their own foreign policy.
Thanks to a $5 million donation from Qatar to the Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles — the largest-ever single donation to the fund — the Angeleno Card program is being expanded.
Garcetti thanked the government of Qatar for the “truly generous humanitarian gift to Angeleno families.” He said the gift had special meaning, as it coincided with the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Qatar is the terror state that serves as a patron for everyone from the Muslim Brotherhood (and its Hamas branch) to Al Qaeda,
What is Qatar getting in exchange for this generosity? We’ll find out down the road.
And, like anything in Cali, illegal aliens qualify. So we’ve got a terror state funding a cash giveaway to illegal aliens.
That’s today’s California.
Terry Gain says
It should be illegal for any American institution including government, university, charitable organization, church etc. to receive foreign funds.
James Lincoln says
Absolutely true, Terry .
Foreign funds always come with strings attached – In this case islamic strings…

Agreed, Terry.

That’ll buy a small, beachfront studio shack.
keith says
Should this be considered bribery?
And if so, we must also wonder what is being asked in return?

Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti accepts $5,000,000 from Islamic terror state Qatar
……………..
Doesn’t this moron know anything about Qatar? Likely not…

$5,000,000 gifts always come with the expectation of an obligatory happy ending.

The Left remind me of a scene from “Independence Day”. As an immense alien ship hovers over a skyscraper, a contingent of virtue-signallers heads to the roof to be the first to show how “welcoming” Earthlings really are. ZZZZZZAP!!
With today’s technology and freedom (for now) of information, there is no excuse for the Western Left to not understand the foundations of Islam, and how they have played out for 1400 years.
Left-thinking Westerners have been duped by Marxist-infused education/media/entertainment. They have forgotten how to debate. In their minds, they are correct and, therefore, closed for argument. Logical fallacies and false equivalencies abound–with vast, corporate systems in place to besmirch and even ruin the lives of those brave enough to tell the truth.
9/11 didn’t wake them up. Neither have the almost 37,000 jihad attacks since. Instead, it continues to be the the fault of “the racist, white, Western, straight, Judeo-Christian patriarchy”.
Useful fools all. Usefools.

Yes–that scene in “Independence Day” is *very* apt.

Could it be that LA Mayor Eric Garcetti is taking a card from Hillary Clinton’s deck? The Clinton Foundation took $$$$ millions from foreign donors including several in the Middle East while Hillary Clinton was US Secretary of State. Of course once she became a candidate for US president her husband Bill announced that no more money from foreign donors would be permitted. But it is not unfair for the public to ask what happened to the donated money during Hillary’s Secretary of State tenure, I will take a wild guess and say it bought rentable real estate, high quality stocks, and the remainder was put into trust funds.
If all this is a precedent for Eric Garcetti, then we can expect him to go for another office such as something in the state of CA legislature, or perhaps the US Congress, or even be appointed to a position should one of his cronies be elected to a high office that appoints people to office. In my opinion, none of the above is good and not in the best interests of America.
Seyet says
But where are the people asking and demanding to know where the money went and not just discussing it in post boards like this
No Muzzies Here says
Democrats are very happy to accept money, and then they use their office to reward the donors.

I bet if vaccines become mandatory, muslims alone will be exempt should they wish it.

Wow wonder where they learned that from?
