MTG doubles down on weather modification conspiracy theory despite experts rubbishing ‘hurricane control’

The Republican from Georgia claimed last week that “they” can control the weather after Hurricane Helene killed more than two dozen people in her state and more than 230 across the US. While she did not clarify who “they” was at the time, Joe Biden said the idea the federal government controlled the weather was “beyond ridiculous”.

“Yes they can control the weather,” she wrote on X last week. “It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”

At least 120K of Trump's $60 Bible's were made in China (for $3 each a 1900% mark up). That is a fact per Fox News. In addition, Oklahoma School Superintendent has mandated that Bibles be in every classroom; the crux is that the way the law was written only Trump Bibles seem to qualify.

Regular PACs: Trump's PAC $ can be transferred to other committees he controls, but there are restrictions. PACs like his "Save America" can transfer funds to other political committees, including those affiliated with Trump, as long as they comply with federal campaign finance laws. However, these transfers cannot be used for personal expenses or converted into campaign accounts for his own election efforts. Joint fundraising committees can also distribute funds to affiliated committees.

SUPER PACS: Trump-controlled super PACs have significantly more flexibility with leftover campaign funds. They can spend unlimited amounts to support candidates, including Trump himself, in future elections, provided there is no direct coordination with his campaign. Super PACs can also donate to other organizations aligned with their political causes or keep the funds for future political activities.

Trump can hold the money in his SUPER PACs indefinitely by stating his future intention to run for office. This allows him to keep raising and holding funds without using them for personal expenses.

Over the past year, Trump has been actively moving at least $20 million in funds between his PACs to his SUPER PACs. This transfer has raised concerns about potentially circumventing campaign finance laws, as super PACs cannot legally coordinate spending with his campaign.

Additionally, Trump's campaign & affiliated committees have spent significant amounts at his properties, funneling millions into his businesses. These financial maneuvers are under scrutiny by the FEC.
