Possible bribing of Acting Secretary of Labor




First and foremost, these are primarily allegations with little information given. That said, there is a lot of suspicious activity involved with what amounts to possible bribery. It is also disturbing that there was not a lot of investigation into the matter as to what is a serious matter. There were checks, this was proven. It was a situation involving the Acting Secretary of Labor being propositioned because of her job. All of this shows that it needs more consideration, as it involves a contractor and the Department of Labor.

The Allegations


Here, via the Department of Labor OIG, is what happened.


The Office of Inspector General (OIG) received an allegation that an individual had solicited the Secretary of Labor with two separate bank checks in the amount of $40,000 each, in return for a partnership with their firm.


The OIG investigation confirmed that the two checks to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) were legitimate bank issued checks. The investigation further determined that at the time the individual sent the checks they were employed by a DOL contractor, however at the time of the investigation they were no longer employed by the contractor. The checks provided to DOL were sent from the individual’s personal account in an attempt to set up a separate business partnership with DOL for services that would be independent of congressional oversight of the spending.


On June 1, 2022, the OIG referred this case to the Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Division which subsequently declined prosecution. Because the individual was no longer employed by the DOL contractor, there was no action DOL was able to take.


Acting Secretary


Here, via the Department of Labor website, is a short biography of Acting Secretary Julie Su.


Julie Su became Acting Secretary of Labor on March 11, 2023. She was previously confirmed by the Senate to serve as the deputy secretary of labor on July 13, 2021. As deputy secretary, she served as the de-facto chief operating officer for the department, overseeing its workforce, managing its budget and executing the priorities of the secretary of labor.


Prior to joining the U.S. Department of Labor, Deputy Secretary Su served as the secretary for the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency. The LWDA enforces workplace laws, combats wage theft, ensures health and safety on the job, connects Californians to quality jobs and career pathways, and administers unemployment insurance, workers compensation and paid family leave.


Su is a nationally recognized expert on workers' rights and civil rights who has dedicated her distinguished legal career to advancing justice on behalf of poor and disenfranchised communities and is a past recipient of a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant.


As California labor commissioner from 2011 through 2018, Su enforced the state's labor laws to ensure a fair and just workplace for both employees and employers. A report on her tenure released in May 2013 found that her leadership resulted in a renaissance in enforcement activity and record-setting results. In 2014, she launched the first "Wage Theft Is a Crime" multimedia, multilingual statewide campaign to reach out to low-wage workers and their employers to help them understand their rights and feel safe speaking up about labor law abuses.


Prior to her appointment as California labor commissioner, Deputy Secretary Su was the litigation director at Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Los Angeles, the nation's largest non-profit civil rights organization devoted to issues affecting the Asian American community. Su is known for pioneering a multi-strategy approach that combines successful impact litigation with multiracial organizing, community education, policy reform, coalition building and media work.


Frequently named to top-lawyer lists such as the Daily Journal's "Top 75 Women Litigators" in California and California Lawyer's "Super Lawyers," she was the first labor commissioner to be included among the Daily Journal's "Top 75 Labor and Employment Lawyers." She has also been named one of the 50 most noteworthy women alumni of Harvard Law School and one of the 100 most influential people in Los Angeles in Los Angeles Magazine.


Su has taught at UCLA Law School and Northeastern Law School. She is a graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Law School and began her career with a Skadden Fellowship. Su speaks Mandarin and Spanish.


The American people need to understand this issue much better than the short and unsatisfactory investigation that was done. Acting Secretary Su is in charge of billions of dollars and lots of power, so she needs to be scrutinized better. If this occurred once, it could have happened other times. Subverting the government is serious business and needs to be known.

The government employee union with more power than the American people Part 6

To get members and dues for their political purposes, the SEIU has used illegal tactics over the years. They have been taken to court many times, yet they persist every chance they get. The reason they do this is to gain more and more power, along with grabbing as much money as they can from the members to use for political purposes. They have already stated how they are using all of this in the article I recently wrote, which means people need to know what is happening. Kaiser Permanente The SEIU and Kaiser Permanente worked together to force employees to join the union before 2006. Both were taken to court and smacked down. Here is what occurred, via a National Right to Work release.  In a victory for employee free choice, a group of workers aided by the National Right to Work Foundation have forced Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 49 officials to renounce their monopoly bargaining power over employees of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (a component of the nation...

Under Wolf, Pennsylvania misspent half a billion in school Medicaid funds

Few people can truly imagine what $551 million is, but that is the sum that the state of Pennsylvania either mismanaged or spent erroneously of federal Medicaid funds earmarked for schools. While they argued with the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General over this, they have not released a public statement. Money that could have helped students across the nation seems to have evaporated under then Democrat Governor Tom Wolf. Report Findings Here, via the HHS OIG report , is what they found. “Pennsylvania improperly claimed Federal funds through its Medicaid school-based health services program. Specifically, Pennsylvania claimed estimated unallowable Federal funds totaling $182.5 million because it did not support that all moments used in RMTSs and coded as Medicaid-eligible were for Medicaid-eligible health services or Medicaid administrative activities. Also, Pennsylvania improperly claimed an additional $368.9 million when it used unsupported ratios to allocate c...

Imagine the implications of believably faked audio and video used against conservatives

Well, it seems that the Democrats and their various organizations have a way to falsify what is said by people via artificial intelligence.  This   is shown  by the story of what Pikesville High School Principal Eric Eiswert in Maryland has gone through when the school Athletic Director and PE teacher Dazhon Darien used an AI program to make it sound like Eiswert was making racist and anti-Semitic rants.  There are many instances that this can be used by police to frame others, civilians can do this to people they hate, and many other ways this can be, will be, and most likely has been used. What Happened Eiswert started investigating  some   suspicious budgeting from the athletic department, along with  the removal of  a coach without the  principal’s  approval.  When Darien  started  realizing the investigation was happening and going against him, an email went out to three teachers with an audio track that was suppose...
