"Don't Say Gay" lawmaker/criminal's COVID loan plea bodes badly for James Dunn world
At this point, we should use gross LGBT hate as a profiling tool for PPP and emergency COVID loan fraud.
Hate is always a grift; so it’s not remotely surprising to learn that former Rep. Joe Harding, R-Gross of “Don’t say gay” fame is a criminal fraud.
At this point, based on long observation, I have to conclude every virulent gay or trans-hater is either a simple criminal; full of personal doubt about about their own sexuality/identity; or some combination of both.
Indeed, I suspect ostentatious LGBT/gross sex-obsession would make an outstanding profiling tool for emergency COVID loan fraud. See Joel Greenberg, etc.
I’ve come to consider PPP loans and other emergency COVID loans the most telling contemporary lens for the type of citizen you are.
Did you use the emergency tool to preserve viable jobs and businesses as intended by the law; or, in a moment of national peril, did you seek to exploit your fellow citizens and give yourself a big bonus?
We know what Joe Harding chose.
And we know what Texas-based convicted felon, accused Florida campaign criminal, and super-connected, gross, LGBT-hating GOP political operative James Dunn chose — six PPP loans worth $310,000.
Harding’s plea provides quite the preview into Dunn’s future if the feds ever do their jobs out in Texas. Come see.
“Materially false statements” about revenue and employees
How similar is what Harding did to what Dunn’s PPP loan records show? Well, here’s an excerpt from the News Service of Florida via the Tampa Bay Times.
According to a court document filed Tuesday, Harding made “materially false statements” when he applied for a federal Economic Injury Disaster Loan for The Vak Shak Inc. in December 2020. Harding falsely claimed that the company had four employees and gross revenues of more than $420,000 for a year before submitting the application.
The company did not have any business activity in 2019 or 2020, and “Harding knew that this business had been dormant during that time,” the court filing said.
Harding, who received $150,000 in disaster assistance, in February 2021 admitted to federal investigators that he lied on the application.
Compare that to the emergency PPP loan James Dunn got in April 2021 for his “charity” Black Republicans of Brazoria County. Here are the questions I asked a few months ago about it:
How did “Black Republicans of Brazoria County,” a 501c3 “charity” limited by law to less than $50,000 per year in revenue, support six jobs in April 2021? How did less than $50,000 per year in revenue translate into a $62,500 PPP emergency loan to protect those jobs? Why can I only find $15,750 in total revenue, ever, for BRBC — all from one Texas legislator: Rep. David Mayes Middleton, R-Galveston County, Texas.
To recap, James Dunn reported six jobs supported by zero revenue at the time he asked for $62,500, according to PPP records. (Middleton’s $15,750 came several months later.) And his IRS reporting suggests BRBC is a “charity” capped by law at $50,000 in annual revenue. Any “materially false statements” in there?
Any of that sound similar to Harding? Rut roh.
Whose gonna protect you from the feds now, James Dunn? Abbott, Middleton, Morath, Pickren, Baker, Hamilton?
Here’s the full dive on Dunn/BRBC’s PPP loan and on how even conservative grifter Candace Owens called it a fraud of an organization less than a year later.
Tick, tick, tick, “Dr.” Dunn. I suspect the feds see you.
And if they came and got Mr. “Don’t Say Gay” guy, a sitting legislator in the gross DeSantis dictatorship, well … I doubt even Greg Abbott can protect you.
Like Mike Morath, Mayes Middleton, Kendall Baker, Julie Pickren, David Hamilton, I suspect Abbott will be too busy answering questions about how well he knows you to throw you any lifelines.
And how they love the phrase "virtue signaling" as an accusation. As if their evil grandstanding were some kind of better way to live.
