šŸ” HOW TO READ THE DATA: TURNING POINT DOES NOT RECEIVE USAID DOLLARS USAID grant money is everywhere. Itā€™s so deeply woven into the nonprofit world that tracing it is like testing $100 bills for cocaineā€”at a certain scale, every charity has some residue. Thatā€™s why the disclaimer at the top of the website exists: **"NOTE: Funding is fungible, meaning USAID dollars do not directly flow into these NGOs in a literal sense. Instead, the money moves through multiple layers, with various entities handling and redistributing it. Rather than focusing solely on individual grants or making definitive statements about how NGOs benefit from USAID, itā€™s more important to recognize the broader pattern of funding distribution and influenceā€”and to cut through the layers of unaccountability."** So, how do you determine if an NGO is truly dependent on USAID money? Context matters. Letā€™s go back to the cocaine analogy: Every $100 bill has trace amounts, but a drug dealerā€™s cash will be covered in it. The same logic applies here. šŸ”¹ Look at the graph on the left. Thatā€™s Defending Democracy Together Institute, Bill Kristolā€™s group. Over half of their funding comes from major grants. Thatā€™s a lot of cocaine. šŸ”¹ Now, compare it to Turning Point USA on the right. Their USAID connections are multiple hops away and bottlenecked by the smallest possible intermediary grants. Even with the most extreme assumptions, only 0.2% of their funding could possibly come from this path. This isnā€™t just theory for me. I worked with Charlie Kirk during the 2024 election on early voting analysis. I saw firsthand how his operation worked, and I can say with confidence: President Trump would not have won re-election without him. He flipped voter registrations on their head and made a direct push for young male voters. Bottom line: These graphs are tools, not verdicts. Use them wisely.

She was installed. There is nothing special or funny about her. She just so happens to be 100% Ashkenazi (blindsided DNA test on Howie Mandel) The blonde southern belle is an act. Sheā€™s playing a role that was designated to her by the entertainment industrial complex, who also happens to be Ashkenazi.

For the sake of both of our kids? Grow up. Racist trolls on the internet, while offensive, don't threaten my kids. You know what does? A culture that denies grace to people who make mistakes. A culture that encourages congressmen to act like whiny children.
