PGA or BLM or Planned Parenthood or Osteen?

With the news that PGA will keep it's non profit status after the Saudi investment, I have to believe that the PGA is tops in this. Not sure who takes second though.

Clinton Family Foundation is at the top of the list. All others a distant second.

Susan G Komen is up there.

Anything that mentions either Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton has to be on the list. Plank owners.

Apparently, Houston-based True the Vote is under the microscope:

Quote:

Leaders of Texas-based activist group True the Vote accused of using donations for personal gain

The conspiracy-peddling nonprofit made loans to founder Catherine Engelbrecht and issued contracts to longtime director Gregg Phillips that may have violated state and federal law, a watchdog complaint filed with the IRS alleges.

More at Texas Trib.

I cannot believe that I forgot that one. I guess the previous mentioned are all just battling for 2nd place.

PGA Tour apparently is forming a separate for profit entity while the charitable arm will remain. At least they actually do fund charities unlike BLM and Clinton.

"A watchdog alleges." In other words, some leftist outfit is going full lawfare against them.

And the Texas Tribune is a Soros funded propaganda outlet posing as a media outlet.

While true the CFF is a shell of its former self, it was a massive grift up until Hilldawg lost the election. Talking hundreds of millions of dollars.

This is will be a fascinating discussion.

Biggest grift - irs

Edit sorry didn't see the 501c3

I think it's the State Newsroom Network. A pet project of the progressive Hopewell dark money fund that sells itself under many different names in multiple media markets as "grassroots journalism." It is the epitome of slanted journalism, but it gets picked up in newsreader aps because it does create articles on local politics. All editorials, the choice of articles, the placement of opposing positions, and what they challenge and what they let slide are all a thumb on the scale, yet subtle enough that a person might miss it if they did not know the source. Local news stations will even pick up their articles and rebroadcast them. It is deceitful, dishonest, and effective. A perfect example of modern journalism.

I assume that the ACLU and SPLC could be added to the list, although I am not sure on non profit status.

Good call on the Scientology grift

Also, a bit of a nit-pick, but the PGA is a (c)6 organization so different tax exempt status from (c)3s. The more you know...

Okay. I didn't think it was a c3 until I saw it in an a tweet this morning. I was surprised by that. I thought about looking up the 990 to research it a little more.

Kenneth Copeland is way up there for me......

Scientology and the Clinton Crime Foundation / Global Initiative.

Clintons ran the biggest pay for play scam in the history of the country. No one is close not even Tammany Hall or anyone from Chicago. The IRS should have blown them up at the start. Want proof it was play for pay? After Hilldawg lost in 2016 their inflow of contributions went to $nil.

I'll throw in Penguin Random House and Simon-Schuster.

The millions of dollars they throw at worthless celebrities and politicians for "writing" books and they publish them knowing all these libraries, political organizations, non-profits and other outlets buy them and give them away or stack them in a warehouse.

This might fall more under money laundering, but still quite the windfall for the "author" and publishing houses.
