“We Don’t Confirm Schumer Donors” – Musk Ally Jared Isaacman’s Democrat Donations Torpedoed NASA Appointment, Sparking Speculation Over Elon’s Angst

Published

on

“We don’t confirm Schumer donors in this administration,” said a source close to the Trump team — referencing the quiet but decisive move to pull billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman from consideration as the head of NASA under the second Trump Administration. 

Musk’s friend’s NASA nomination was pulled by the Administration last week.

Our source requested anonymity to speak candidly about personnel decisions within the administration.

Isaacman — a close ally of Elon Musk, SpaceX collaborator, private astronaut, and founder of Shift4 — was under serious consideration for a high-level appointment. But his name was withdrawn after campaign finance records revealed over $200,000 in donations to prominent Democratic politicians, committees, and super PACs.

What are the real reasons behind the Big Beautiful Brawl?

The donations, all made in recent election cycles, include contributions to some of the most powerful Democrat operatives and institutions:

Jared Isaacman’s Political Donations (2021–2024):

  • $100,000 to Senate Majority PAC (10/28/2021) — aligned with Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
  • $50,000 to Josh Shapiro for Governor (3/2/2022)
  • $10,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (3/29/2022)
  • $10,000 to the Democratic Party of Pennsylvania (7/22/2024)
  • $10,000 to the Michigan Democratic State Central Committee (8/1/2024)
  • $2,500 to George Whitesides for Congress (6/28/2022)
  • $2,500 to George Whitesides for Congress (11/8/2022)
  • $1,000 to Rep. Susan Wild (D-PA)
  • $500 to Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA)
  • $5,000 to Keystone America PAC (Democrat-aligned PA PAC)
  • $5,000 to Mitten PAC (Democrat-aligned MI PAC)

Notably absent from Isaacman’s financial history: any donations to President Donald Trump, his campaign, or any Trump-aligned political action committee.

A source familiar with the administration’s personnel strategy said this donation history raised immediate concerns.

“It’s not just about ideology. It’s about loyalty,” the source said. “This is self-explanatory. The President was burned by so many others in his first administration- individuals that really tried to take down this country. That is not to say that the decision to reject Isaacman means that he had nefarious intentions- they are not implying that. But they just have to be extra careful.”

“So to re-itterate…we are not bringing in major donors to Chuck Schumer and Josh Shapiro — period.”

Musk and Isaacman.

Isaacman, who led SpaceX’s Inspiration4 and its Polaris Dawn missions, is widely seen as a top private-sector collaborator with Elon Musk in the space economy. The two men share a close working relationship, with Musk praising Isaacman publicly on multiple occasions and Isaacman being one of the highest-profile civilian astronauts in Musk’s SpaceX orbit.

Some Insiders Speculate This Be What Set Elon Musk Off.

In recent days, Elon Musk has grown increasingly vocal and critical of unnamed advisers and operatives in Trump’s orbit. The timing has raised questions — and speculation is mounting.

“This seems something that could have possibly set Elon off,” said one GOP strategist. “That is understandable- he is close to Isaacman. I am not saying this was the only thing, but I speculate it could be a factor.

Isaacman’s space ventures represent one of Musk’s most ambitious civilian collaborations, and the withdrawal of his nomination to head NASA — is seen by some as a personal slight to the billionaire tech mogul.

The Trump administration continues to vet a number of candidates for high-level roles to fill the ongoing administration. According to the source, “many are being confirmed in the coming month,” but loyalty and past political support are important criteria.

Loyalty first?

President Donald Trump officially withdrew Jared Isaacman’s nomination to lead NASA on May 31, 2025. The announcement came just days before the Senate was scheduled to vote on Isaacman’s confirmation, which had already advanced with bipartisan support. Following the withdrawal, Trump indicated that a new nominee aligned with his “America First” space policy would be announced soon. Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast has been mentioned as a potential replacement.

Isaacman’s donations, all on record with the Federal Election Commission and compiled by OpenSecrets.org, leave little doubt about his political leanings in recent cycles.

The takeaway from the Trump team, according to insiders: if you back Chuck Schumer with six-figure donations, don’t expect to be appointed in a Trump administration.

The good old days.

In the end God wins.

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Screencap of YouTube video.

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.

Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.

She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.

The New York Post reports:

BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle

A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.

Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.

But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.

Just amazing.

Here’s a local video report:

She should pay back every penny.

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’

Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.

RedState has an update:

To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”

This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.

Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:

See Olbermann’s tweet below:

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Where is Lance Twiggs? Kirk Assassin’s Transgender Lover Has Vanished

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.

The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.

Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.

Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.

Read the text exchange here:

Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.

“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”

The Daily Mail reported:

The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.

Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.

Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’

His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.

Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
