Kamala Harris’ Anti-White Racism Is Showing
How did we get to where a major party’s presidential campaign thinks it is a good idea to send out a racially discriminatory policy proposal?Black Lives Matter activist defrauded George Floyd donors of over $450,000. Now he's going to federal prison.
A Black Lives Matter activist has been sentenced to federal prison after being found guilty of using donations intended for social justice causes for his own luxuries.
A grand jury convicted Sir Maejor Page, also known as Tyree Conyers-Page, of wire fraud and money laundering in April. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Helmick on Thursday sentenced Page to 42 months in prison.
'Mr. Page took advantage of a cause meant to fight social injustices, using it instead to line his own pockets with thousands of dollars of donations.'
Prosecutors said Page, of Toledo, Ohio, defrauded donors of more than $450,000 that they collectively gave to his “Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta” organization which he claimed to be a nonprofit.
Page continued to collect donations for purported social justice actions on his Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta Facebook page despite the IRS revoking BLMGA’s “tax-exempt status as a charity” in May 2019.
The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Northern District of Ohio said in a statement, "He also used Facebook to message privately with users, and he falsely represented that their donations would be used to 'fight for George Floyd' and the 'movement.'"
Roughly 18,000 people gave donations to the BLM of Greater Atlanta charity through its Facebook account; Page was the administrator of the account.
From April 2018 to May 2020, the group's bank account — which Page solely managed — received minor transactions never exceeding $5,000, according to an FBI press release. However, BLM of Greater Atlanta monetized George Floyd's death to get significant donations. Page's Facebook reeled in nearly $36,500 in June 2020, nearly $371,000 in July 2020, and nearly $60,000 in August 2020.
Instead of spending the donated money on social justice actions, prosecutors said the 35-year-old Page spent the donations on luxuries for himself.
Prosecutors said Page spent the BLM donations on fine dining, tailor-made suits, “lavish furniture for his bedroom,” a home security system, electronic equipment, entertainment, Walmart shopping sprees, and guns. He reportedly bragged on social media about purchasing his new cuff links, $150 ties, and a penthouse suite.
As Blaze News previously reported, Page purchased a $112,000 property in Toledo in August 2020 under the organization "Hi Frequency Ohio." The fraudulent Black Lives Matter activist allegedly required the seller to sign a nondisclosure agreement that would have prevented the seller from listing Page as the actual buyer.
In April 2020, the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center received a tip accusing Page of misrepresenting himself as a leader of the Black Lives Matter movement and misusing the donated funds.
“I never intended to deceive or take advantage of any donors who supported our cause and this movement,” Page said in court, according to the Toledo Blade. “There were many nonprofit responsibilities I did not fully understand.”
“I am deeply sorry. I apologize to those I may have misled, or who did not think I was fully transparent,” Page stated.
U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio Rebecca C. Lutzko said, “Mr. Page took advantage of a cause meant to fight social injustices, using it instead to line his own pockets with thousands of dollars of donations. People donate their hard-earned money to support causes they believe in, and when a fraudster like Page comes along and tries to get away with a fake charity scheme, it hurts legitimate nonprofit organizations that rely on the generosity of others to advance their missions and make positive change in the world. This Office will hold accountable those who try to profit by scamming unsuspecting people out of their money like Page did here.”
WAGA-TV reported that Page had been charged three times with impersonating a law enforcement officer in Georgia. He was arrested in 2014 for reportedly wearing a replica of the Atlanta Police officer uniform, in 2015 for allegedly impersonating a Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority officer, and in 2016 for purportedly claiming he was an FBI agent.
An IMDB listing shows "Sir Maejor" was an actor in FX's TV series "American Horror Story: Coven" as an "albino guard/henchman."

Tyreek Hill is the NEXT George Floyd
Tyreek Hill found himself face-down on the pavement in handcuffs after he was detained by Miami police for reckless driving near Hard Rock Stadium before the Dolphins game.
“People are looking for the next George Floyd, and that’s why I think people are making a big deal out of what happened to Tyreek Hill,” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” comments, noting that a similar thing happened to golfer Scottie Scheffler.
However, because Scheffler is white, no one cared.
“This is incredible. Tyreek Hill gets briefly detained, put on the ground, and gets to go on and play the football game,” Whitlock says. “Jemele Hill somehow connects this to Steven Ross, the owner, and so she tweets out ‘A reminder that Steve Ross, owner of the Miami Dolphins, is a huge Donald Trump supporter — the same Trump who supports giving ALL police immunity from prosecution. Do with that what you will.'”
“They’re trying to immediately turn this into a political issue. There’s no authenticity here, there’s no fairness here. It’s like ‘Oh, we’ve got our George Floyd, we can use this. America’s all racist because Tyreek Hill got cuffed briefly,’” Whitlock mocks.
Stephen A. Smith is really pushing the political race-bait, calling what happened to Hill “totally unnecessary.”
In a post to X, Smith wrote, “I know the Scottie Scheffler incident was in Georgia — not Florida — and he was arrested, detained, booked. I also know we don’t know all the details, blah … blah … blah! But he wasn’t faced down on the ground in cuffs, then forcibly sat down again by officers a second time. Nah! This story isn’t going away — and it doesn’t need to.”
Whitlock notes that Hill has been accused of domestic violence and has several “baby mamas” — so he’s not a totally innocent man anyway.
“People act like there’s no through line, that there’s no connection, that ‘Hey, if I’m irresponsible here, that doesn’t mean I’m irresponsible over here,’” he says, adding, “Yes, it actually does. Irresponsible people do irresponsible things.”

I Was A California Prosecutor For 24 Years. Kamala Harris’ ‘Tough On Crime’ Schtick Is A Sham
Harris wants to continue on her “progressive” path and forget about enforcing the laws passed by a democratically elected legislature, while ignoring threats to public safety.Jason Whitlock reveals his 'Mount Racemore' of the WORST racial hoaxes
Identity politics has undoubtedly infiltrated American culture, and as a result, far too many racial hoaxes have not only captivated but fooled Americans in recent years.
Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” is fed up with these racial hoaxes — and he’s not afraid to hurt anyone’s feelings, which is why he’s taken it upon himself to create his own “Mount Racemore” and expose the worst of the worst.
“Limiting this to four was very difficult. We should have had a top 10,” Whitlock comments, adding that “the last decade has been filled with nothing but racial hoaxes.”
The four that made “Mount Racemore” are Michael Brown, “Saint” George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Trayvon Martin.
“Michael Brown didn’t have his hands up. Michael Brown’s on camera bullying a guy at a convenience store. Michael Brown tried to take the gun from Darren Wilson and then charged back at Darren Wilson,” Whitlock explains.
“St. George Floyd,” he continues, “died of a fentanyl overdose and died because he fussed and argued and resisted arrest for 20 straight minutes, had a heart attack because he had enough fentanyl in him to kill a dozen horses.”
“He almost died a year before, the same thing, same interaction with the police. Almost died, then they resuscitated him and got him to hospital and fixed him up that time. George Floyd was not killed by Derek Chauvin. Derek Chauvin was at the scene of George Floyd overdosing on fentanyl. It’s a hoax,” Whitlock says.
As for Breonna Taylor, Whitlock feels sorry for her.
“This is the woman out of Louisville, who was shot by Louisville police officers because her ignorant, scared boyfriend fired a shot at police first, and he hit a cop in the leg, and then the cops opened fire,” he explains. “He’s not a man. Allowed his woman to get out of bed and go to the front door with him to see what the trouble was at the front door.”
“Breonna Taylor died because her boyfriend fired at and shot a cop first,” he adds.
While Whitlock initially bought the Trayvon Martin hoax, he’s since seen the light.
“Trayvon Martin was involved in drug dealing and gang activity. His father was a gang member. Trayvon Martin was beating the head of George Zimmerman into the ground. Trayvon Martin was about that life, and he effed around and found out that George Zimmerman was carrying,” Whitlock says.
After Martin’s death, a “fake witness,” who claimed to be Trayvon’s girlfriend, pretended she was on the phone with Trayvon right before he was shot.
“Ben Crump dressed this woman up and had her play the role of Trayvon’s girlfriend. It was a hoax and a lie that led to Trayvon Martin’s mother and father parading around the last 12 years as celebrities, collecting checks off their dead son,” Whitlock says.
“A lot of this stuff is filled with lies and manipulation,” he adds. “It’s all done to drive a narrative, to make you hate America, to make you think America is a failure, to make you think the Constitution and the whole thing has to be thrown out the window.”

Kibbe: Tim Walz's COVID authoritarianism killed George Floyd
Matt Kibbe and his wife had lived safely and peacefully on Capitol Hill for over 20 years when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
Then everything changed.
- YouTube youtu.be
YouTube has censored this video by labeling it 18+. Watch it here.
Upon the numerous declarations of mayors and governors ordering civilians to quarantine themselves at home, Kibbe “headed straight out to buy thick plywood to board [his] windows and new security bars to reinforce [his] doors.”
Obviously such “draconian precautions” would do nothing to keep the virus out, so what was he so afraid of?
“Riots, looting, and violence,” he says, which indeed ravaged the country during the early stages of the pandemic.
“George Floyd lost his job at Conga Latin Bistro when Governor Tim Walz locked down the Minnesota economy, prohibiting bars and restaurants from serving customers.”
— (@)
Just a few weeks later, Floyd was killed, and the chaos that would torch cities across the nation began.
“Unchecked power can take away your livelihood. Unchecked power can kill,” Kibbe says, making the point that George Floyd’s blood isn’t just on the hands of a cop but also on those of Tim Walz whose shutting down of the economy laid the groundwork for Floyd’s death.
It’s been four years, and the government has yet to answer for the egregious crimes it committed in the name of COVID-19. But stagnating the economy is just one of the atrocities it must answer for. There are also the matters of unconstitutional censorship, vaccine coercion, mask mandates, and gain-of-function research that demand answers.
Kibbe has been on a mission since the outbreak to expose COVID lies and solve its long list of mysteries. In his docuseries “The Coverup,” he takes you along with him as he meets with some of the true experts who were silenced during the pandemic for their refusal to comply with the approved narrative — people like Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University and an author of the Great Barrington Declaration. He also meets with Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the only senator who’s remained relentless in his pursuit of answers — especially when it comes to COVID’s number-one wolf in sheep’s clothing: Anthony Fauci.
