Judge Jack McConnell, Who Halted President Trump’s Temporary Spending Freeze, Received Over $100 Million in Government Funding for His NGO

(Excerpts only.)

Judge McConnell’s organization has received $117.6 million in government funding in total (ending in 2023). …

In a bombshell revelation, America First Legal has uncovered damning evidence that federal Judge Jack McConnell, the Rhode Island judge who halted President Trump’s temporary spending freeze, has been deeply entrenched in a taxpayer-funded nonprofit—receiving over $128 million in government funding during his tenure.

“FEDERAL JUDGE McCONNELL MUST RECUSE HIMSELF IMMEDIATELY. AFL has uncovered a major potential conflict of interest for Judge John McConnell, Chief Judge of the federal district court of Rhode Island, who halted President Trump’s temporary spending freeze,” AFL wrote on X. …

Federal law (28 U.S.C. § 455) is clear: judges must disqualify themselves in any proceeding where their impartiality might reasonably be questioned. Given McConnell’s fiduciary ties to Crossroads Rhode Island, there is no question that his ruling was tainted by personal financial interests.

This is not just an ethical lapse—it’s a full-blown corruption scandal. McConnell had a duty to disclose his involvement and recuse himself from ruling on a case that directly benefited his NGO. Instead, he deliberately kept his ties hidden, while delivering a decision that kept taxpayer money flowing straight into his nonprofit. ….

Sen. Rand Paul Calls for First Fort Knox Gold Audit in 50 Years, Taps Elon Musk’s DOGE for Verification — FOIA Requests Show 7 Out of 13 Previous Audits Reportedly Missing

(Excerpt only.)

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has called for a long-overdue audit of the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox—something that hasn’t happened in nearly 50 years.

The demand comes as concerns grow over whether the 4,580 tons of U.S. gold supposedly stored in Fort Knox still exist or if bureaucrats and the Federal Reserve have been engaging in financial sleight-of-hand behind closed doors.

The call for transparency gained momentum when conservative news outlet Zero Hedge sparked debate on X, posting:

Trump Signs Order Barring Federal Funding to Schools With COVID Vaccine Mandates

Jacob Burg, NTD News, February 14, 2025

(https://www.ntd.com/trump-signs-order-barring-federal-funding-to-schools-with-covid-vaccine-mandates_1047724.html?utm_source=ntddailynoe&src_src=ntddailynoe&utm_campaign=ntd-2025-02-16&src_cmp=ntd-2025-02-16&utm_medium=email)

President Donald Trump on Feb. 14 signed an executive order barring funding to universities and schools with COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

The order, detailed in a fact sheet provided by the White House, will prohibit all federal funding to any schools that implement COVID-19 vaccine mandates and directs the secretaries of Education and Health and Human Services to issue compliance guidelines and plans to end existing mandates. The secretaries will also create a report of non-compliant institutions and a process for blocking funds from supporting any that impose mandates.

The institutions affected include educational service agencies, state education agencies, local education agencies, elementary schools, secondary schools, or any institutions of higher education that require students to receive COVID-19 vaccines to attend in-person educational programs.

“President Trump is committed to protecting personal freedoms and ensuring that Americans’ education isn’t conditioned on unnecessary government mandates,” the White House fact sheet states. “[He] is dedicated to ensuring that American students are not forced to choose between their education and their medical freedom … fulfilling his campaign promise: ‘I will not allow schools to impose COVID vaccine mandates.’”

In his first week back in office, Trump reinstated service members dismissed for refusing the COVID vaccine, giving them full back pay and benefits. He also revoked former President Joe Biden’s executive order creating vaccine mandates for certain federal workers, federal contractors, and those traveling internationally, although Biden had previously rescinded them himself in May 2023.

Trump campaigned against COVID-19 vaccine mandates during the 2024 election, saying at a rally in Richmond, Virginia, that he would “not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate.” When asked if that statement intended to include all vaccine mandates, such as polio or measles shots, a campaign spokesperson at the time said Trump meant COVID vaccine mandates.

Adam Schiff was reportedly executed at Gitmo in mid-2021, (1) but leaving that inconvenient fact aside, if you match stand-in Adam’s discussion here of making the smear public and other tactics Trump was expected to use on the Democrats, we really are hearing the Democrats’ dirty-tricks bag being discussed. Adam seems to walk through the Democrats’ playbook.

I find it interesting from that angle.
