Democrat Baltimore Mayor Faces Backlash Amid Controversy Surrounding “Healthy Holly” Books

OANN: Police and journalists are conducting a massive search in Maryland. What’s missing? A book. Tens of thousands of books to be more precise.

  1. So how do you make a tax deductible payoff or bribe to someone without it being considered payoff or bribe?

    Easy, have them write a book -or have one ghostwritten if their IQ and skill don’t allow them to write it themselves- then buy, say, a hundred thousand copies of it at wholesale prices and donate them to some tax deductible “charitable” organization.

    You get the tax deduction and they get the royalties and everything is neatly laundered and looks legitimate.

    It’s done all the time in the higher ranks of the political elite world.

  3. A tried and true method of Schools who receive Federal, State and Local Tax Money to kick back a % of the $Millions they receive as appreciation.
    The Progressive (socialist) Academic world is as corrupt as Socialist Government. Everyone is scratching each other’s back.
