Years ago, it was the image -and perhaps the truth- that a 'non-profit' was a CHARITY where the donations went to help needy people or whatever, and the workers were volunteers. In more recent years, this has been corrupted to where the CORPORATION shows 'no profit', but the people running it- particularly the ones at the very top, PROFIT HANDSOMELY! The people running large 'non-profits' routinely make well over $500,000 per year, and the directors often make over $1,000,000 per year. And don't forget all their adult children, cousins, in-laws and 'out-laws' who are often hired on as 'Consultants', again making several hundred grand a year. ..... and these people have the GALL - not the 'audacity'- but the straight-up GALL- to come begging money from working families who are struggling along, paycheck-to-paycheck. Before you even THINK about donating to some 'Non-Profit', go online and CHECK to see the 'Total Compensation' of their "Executive Director" and their top 10 Managers, Directors or Consultants! As for me, if their Top Dog makes more money than I do..... then they don't need MY money!

NGO fraud has been going on for decades. The executives pay themselves high six and seven figure salaries, they pay minimum wage to the people doing the work, except for the volunteers who they get for free. And the groups often fail to achieve their stated goals. And now we hear of this group in Texas that failed to protect children that the organization was paid to care for. Shameful. Thank goodness RFK turned off the gravy train.

Why is Israel alone forced to justify its existence and questioned when it stands up to those who would annihilate it? Why was a worldwide campaign of hatred that reeked of anti-Semitism unleashed on Israel when it responded to the October 7, 2023, attack, while there was no criticism of Hamas? Why has the U.N. censured the Jewish state more times than any other nation, even China, North Korea, and Cuba combined?

Let's face it. Kamala Harris was a lousy presidential candidate. Candidates often have flaws. Some are weak on policy. Some are weak on performance. Some are weak on presentation. But she was bad on all of those things. There's a new book out that's gives us a great example of the problems with Harris. According to an excerpt, Harris' campaign insisted that she could only be seated in chairs that "met certain specifications": An excerpt from “FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, published in The Hill, detailed the strict seating arrangements.

A court ordered Starbucks on Friday to pay $50 million in damages to a delivery driver who was severely burned by spilled beverages, CNN reported. The jury in California sided with Michael Garcia, who was picking up drinks in a drive-through in Los Angeles when he was handed beverages with improperly secured lids. According to the lawsuit filed in the California Superior Court in 2020, he “suffered severe burns, disfigurement, and debilitating nerve damage to his genitals when hot drinks ultimately spilled” on his lap. The lawsuit ultimately accused the coffee chain of breaching its duty of care by not securing the lids, according to the report.

Sen. Krysten Sinema (I-AZ) might no longer be a US Senator, but that doesn’t mean she will keep her mouth shut, especially when there is an opportunity to shove it in the faces of her former colleagues. Sinema was brutalized for not going along with the Senate Democrats’ initial plan of removing the legislative filibuster. This week, Democrats learned the value of the 60-vote threshold in limiting debate on legislation with the continuing resolution that will keep the government open for another six months as congressional Republicans hash out the budget reconciliation package. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) killed the first cloture vote and caved on

Happy Thursday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) People who are familiar with my rather free approach to expressing myself verbally both onstage and off are usually surprised to find that I don't like to use the word "hate." It's an aversion I developed when I became a father and it just stuck. As my habits go, it is one of the better ones. It's also one that gets put to the test a lot when writing about the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media five days a week. They're a dreadful lot, inspiring intensely negative feelings in those of us who deal with them.

Biological males competing in women’s sports is laughably unpopular, but the Democratic Party bet the farm that this would be a 21st-century Rosa Parks issue. It was a whirlwind of aberrant behavior, science fiction, and total strangeness. Even in Europe, the Eden of the Left, they’re now rolling back the nonsense like giving prepubescent teens puberty blockers. To my knowledge, no one has died since the United Kingdom’s healthcare service suspended this lunacy. That was the line: if you deny transgenders their stuff, everyone will die. Not the case.

It never fails. About the time you think the drama is over, it rises from the muck like a swamp monster to steal your time, attention, and, if possible, your soul. Just when we thought it would be safe for women and girls to go back onto volleyball and basketball courts and into women's restrooms, the Left marshaled what remains of its wild-eyed forces to lurch into the trans agenda fight once again. Yes, Gavin Newsom is repositioning himself for a 2028 run, and plenty of voters have the short-term memory to see him as a moderate and maybe even give him a win. But plenty of other

The Democrat party has descended into madness. For anyone who may have doubted that before the State of the Union address, the Democrats went into overdrive to hammer the message home. When you strip away all the platitudes around one of America’s two main political parties, what you’re left with is anti-woman, anti-American, anti-peace, and anti-reality. Earlier this week, in a truly stunning moment, every Democrat senator voted against protecting women in sports, choosing the world’s worst hill to die on. This lopsided issue unites all sane people. Men should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports. It’s hard to understate how foolish Democrats’

Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you.

For weeks, President Donald Trump has said that Canada should be America’s 51st state. He has mocked Canada’s economic dependence on the United States. He has condemned Canadian tariffs and trade restrictions. He has scolded Canada’s free riding on American defense. He has knocked Canada’s porous borders and drug dens. He has accused Canada of colluding with hostile foreign powers and global institutions. He has trolled our prime minister. It’s delightful. Many Canadians are enjoying the show. Up here in the cold white north, Trump has set the cat among the pigeons. Canada’s chattering classes are wringing their hands and gnashing their teeth.

A convicted double murderer is set to die by firing squad in South Carolina on Friday — the first execution of its kind in the US in 15 years. Brad Sigmon, 67, personally requested the unusual punishment after fearing the electric chair would “burn and cook him alive,” his attorney Gerald King wrote in a statement. He also rejected a lethal injection after three previous inmates took more than 20 minutes to die after receiving the fatal dose of pentobarbital, his lawyers said. Sigmon became the first South Carolina inmate to choose the state’s new firing squad method of killing,

Sacré bleu! Talk about a Napoleon complex. Some stories don’t require a lengthy set-up. They speak for themselves (and today, they’re parlez-vous-ing exclusively in French): France should take back the Statue of Liberty because the US no longer represents the values that led France to offer the statue, a French Euro-deputy said Sunday. "Give us back the Statue of Liberty", centre-left politician Raphael Glucksmann said at a convention of his Place Publique centre-left movement. "We're going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: 'Give us back the Statue of Liberty,'" he told cheering supporters.

Elon Musk's attempt to unilaterally dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development likely violated the United States Constitution, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang ordered Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency to immediately give USAID employees access to their "email, payment, security notification, and all other electronic systems," and ordered a pause on any efforts to shut down USAID. Judge Chuang wrote that Musk's takeover "usurped the authority of the public's elected representatives in Congress to make decisions on whether, when, and how to eliminate a federal government agency, and of Officers of the United States duly appointed under the Constitution

Crockett made the remarks after Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport members of the hyper-violent organization on Saturday. “That gang is obviously associated with a lot of crime, human trafficking, drug dealing theft, shootings, including in your state of Texas, right outside of your congressional district,” Tapper said. “Do you agree with this?” he asked. “And, if not, what’s your issue with the U.S. using any tool at its disposal to remove undocumented violent people from this country?” Crockett responded

A legal firm with deep ties to George and Alexander Soros’s network of left-wing nonprofits and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), is partially behind a lawsuit attempting to block President Donald Trump from deporting illegal alien gang members from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act, Breitbart News has learned. Over the weekend, the Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act to begin deporting illegal alien gang members to El Salvador under a deal with President Nayib Bukele. The agreement allows for the United States to fly foreign gang members to the country to be held in a mega-prison for an annual fee. Soon after Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act

The Autopen is a fascinating device.

But that seems to be exactly what happened. Evidence has been emerging for a week that nearly every document Joe Biden allegedly signed after his first few days in office — every executive order, every pardon, every Congressional bill signed into law, every international treaty, every lifetime judicial nomination (including the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson) — was signed with not one, but two Autopens.
