Lawmakers Introducing Legislation Targeting Enablers of International Corruption After Pandora Papers Findings
District of Columbia, Florida, New Jersey, South Carolina, Tennessee | October 7, 2021
A bipartisan group of lawmakers is set to introduce new legislation aimed at stopping enablers of international corruption in response to the findings highlighted in the Pandora Papers investigation.
The Establishing New Authorities for Business Laundering and Enabling Risks to Security (ENABLERS) Act would make it harder for “kleptocrats” across the globe to launder money in the United States, according to Reps. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.), Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.), Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), and Joe Wilson (R-S.C.).
The bill (pdf) would amend the 51-year-old Bank Secrecy Act by enabling the Treasury Department to impose stronger due diligence requirements on the source of funds for investment advisers, art dealers, attorneys involved in financial activity, company service providers, accountants, PR firms, and third-party payment providers.
Such a due diligence requirement could be something as simple as asking if suspicious funds are the proceeds from a crime…. (Excerpts from the Epoch Times)

Manning in Townhall: Rubio’s Response to Biden Health Rationing puts Democrats in Tough Spot
District of Columbia, Florida | October 1, 2021
What is it with Democrats and their desire to play doctor for the rest of the country?
President Joe Biden is the latest in a long line of Democrats who seem to think that just because they got elected to office, they should determine what patients should get which medicines.
The latest dispute is over Biden’s decision to ration access to monoclonal antibody treatments the FDA has approved as very effective in treating COVID, thus ending the “COVID is death” narrative.
But Biden has decided that he needs to ration these medicines and keep them out of the hands of doctors in states which have not bowed the knee sufficiently to his vaccine and mask mandates. States which, not coincidentally, are led by governors whom he fears will lead the GOP in taking back the White House in 2024. Florida being first and foremost in his sites.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), however, has an answer to Biden’s COVID treatment rationing. The question is, will Florida Democrats choose to save their constituents lives or stand with Biden on his political grandstanding power play?.. (Excerpts from the Daily Torch)

Rick Scott: Floridians Should Get COVID Vax if They Feel ‘Comfortable’ With It
District of Columbia, Florida | August 8, 2021
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., on Sunday refused to support growing pressure for his state — hit hard by a surge in COVID-19 cases — to mandate vaccines, saying residents should get vaccinated if they feel “comfortable” with it.
In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” Scott, a former Florida governor, blasted the Biden administration’s virus information pipeline.
“I’ve done everything I can to try to make sure people are comfortable getting the vaccine,” he said. “I think that’s what every Republican I know is trying [to do,] to get people good information and just tell people, ‘if you feel comfortable, get the vaccine.’’’
“I hope no one else gets sick,” he added, but urged: “Let people make their choices. This is not a country where we need people telling us what to do. I love my mom, I hate her telling me what to do. Give me good information, I will make a good decision.”
According to Scott, good information isn’t what the Biden administration is handing out….

GOP Congressmen Schedule News Conference at Justice Department to Demand Answers on Jan. 6 Detainees
Arizona, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Texas | July 27, 2021
Members of Congress who have been pressing federal law enforcement officials unsuccessfully for months about the conditions and treatment of hundreds of Jan. 6 Capitol detainees will take their case to the doors of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Tuesday.
They also want to know why federal law enforcement authorities were warned weeks before the breach, yet Members of Congress were not told, and evidence has since accumulated that the Capitol Police were not properly informed or prepared by their leadership.
Representatives Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Monday they will gather at DOJ at 1 pm to make public the demands they made in a letter last week to Attorney General Merrick Garland…. (Excerpts from the Epoch Times)

Cuban Solidarity Resolution Garners No Dem Support
Florida | July 15, 2021
On Tuesday, Republican Representative Mario Diaz-Balart (FL) introduced a resolution to explicitly support the Cuban people and their demand for freedom from “the brutal oppression of the Communist dictatorship in Cuba.” In introducing his resolution, Diaz-Balart notes that “for 62 years, the Cuban people have struggled for freedom and human rights under a brutal, repressive dictatorship.” Diaz-Balart, who is of Cuban descent, has several cosponsors of the resolution in the House, including Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL), Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Greg Stuebe (R-FL), Byron Donalds (R-FL), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and Liz Cheney (R-WY). Tellingly, not a single Democrat has signed on to the resolution — a testament to just how far Dems have drifted down the socialism hole. (Excerpts from the Patriot Post)
