Clinton's Charity Only Spends 10% of Its Billions on Actual Charity
It does seem to spend an awful lot of money on "other" expenses, and lots of money for Clinton travel.
Clinton Upkeep is apparently the "charity's" main point. Indeed, it has long been alleged that this "charity" has always been chiefly a way to keep Hilary's Government-In-Waiting on her payroll through 2000's, until she could put them all on the official government payroll again.If you take a narrower, and more realistic, view of the tax-exempt group’s expenditures by excluding obvious overhead expenses and focusing on direct grants to charities and governments, the numbers look much worse. In 2013, for example, only 10 percent of the Clinton Foundation’s expenditures were for direct charitable grants. The amount it spent on charitable grants–$8.8 million–was dwarfed by the $17.2 million it cumulatively spent on travel, rent, and office supplies. Between 2011 and 2013, the organization spent only 9.9 percent of the $252 million it collected on direct charitable grants.Sean Davis goes through a very steep drop-off in actual charitable expenditures, and concludes:
In just a few short years, the Clinton's primary philanthropic project transitioned from a massive player in global pharmaceutical distribution to a bloated travel agency and conference organizing business that just happened to be tax-exempt.Over at Hot Air, Ed Morrissey reports that the head of the Sunlight Foundation calls the Clinton "charity" a "slush fund." The Sunlight Foundation -- a charity watchdog -- sees the Clintons' charity as mainly a charity for the Clintons. As Jon Gabriel of Ricochet told us on our award-winning podcast*, another charity watchdog-- Charity Navigator -- simply refuses to give the Clinton Fund For Political Ambition any rating at all, because:
We don't evaluate Bill Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation. Why not? We have determined that this charity's atypical business model cannot be accurately captured in our current rating methodology.Many people continue spinning this by claiming that Bill and Hilary don't take a salary from the initiative. But this is bullshit. First-class air travel paid for by the charity? Luxurious offices? Constant meetings with major political donors? This is like claiming that the White House itself is not a luxury for the occupant to enjoy, simply because the serving president doesn't own it. No, but he controls it during his presidency, and has the sole beneficial use of it. Similarly, the Clintons' billion dollar "charity" provides them with dozens of workers who arrange anything they might like, swank offices, frequent fundraising and networking opportunities, and first class travel accommodations to wherever the Clintons' personal political ambitions might required them this week. It's ridiculous to claim that the Clintons don't profit from this. To be honest, if you could have the use of a billion-dollar organization and all its luxe appointments without actually owning it, so much the better for you: Then you get all the benefit of that organization without having to pay taxes on it.

Also, were Bill's mysterious $500,000 speaking fees (15 while Hillary was SoS) considered personal income or foundation donations?

Apparently this is how you can legally own and use a suppressor in WA. You have to have a corporation actually own the thing, which is just a buffer layer because you own and operate the corporation.

How about paying for research? How about subsidizing costs for mammograms? Posted by: AllenG (DedicatedTenther) - TrueCon at April 27, 2015 02:09 PM (kff5f)
I want better breast cancer research and prevention as much as anyone, but I'm awfully tired of the pink once a year, especially when other worthy research causes get neglected due to not as good of media PR. But would anyone dare to drop the "wear pink" thing? Say they last that long, and are not wussified out of existence, will the NFL 50 years from now still be having its players suit up in pink once a year? It's ridiculous, especially since Komen is pretty much 100% politicized now.

A brief update to my brief update earlier this morning.
NO BLOOD TRANSFUSION THIS WEEK! (asterisk)
My numbers are still crap, but a mildly low Hgb, (five point eight),
is preferable to further transfusions which carry the risk of life
threatening infections, diseases, and reactions. Platelets up. White
blood cells are starting to move in an upward direction, (0.6).
(asterisk):
I'll have my blood checked again this Friday.....and if my Hgb is not
much worse than it is now, I'll skate all the way through the weekend
before requiring more blood.
Woot

That's why most of the 1% do not concern themselves with the tax code. Their money is held by foundations, charitable or not, that covers their lifestyle as the officers of those foundations. You don't need personal money if everything is an expense account item.

I have seen this discussed multiple times. A lot of her property will not be revalued until she dies, so it is carried on the books at the value it was when she inherited it. For example, her personal diamonds, gemstones, and pearls, not the Royal Jewels, are considered to the finest, rarest, and most valuable in the world. When asked for an an evaluation, the person in charge of her collection looked offended and said something like, "They will never be for sale, so their monetary value is literally priceless." Her people deliberately do not give out information in order to keep her off the top of the list.

Ripped from the comments of HA:
Longtime lurker.
I'm involved in the rescue efforts up there. Some of those expeditions are clients of mine and we've been working with the heli evac company to get everyone down. To those who might be genuinely interested in what's going on and what happened, here ya go:
The first earthquake ended up breaking off a large block of ice (and when I meant large, I mean the size of house) between Pumori and Nuptse. The mountains make up the west ridge above the valley that those who climb the South Col route go up. The ice block fell right in the most dangerous part of the mountain: the Ice Fall between Camp 1 and Base Camp. Due to the steep slope, the glacier breaks up into huge seracs with lots of deep crevasses. It takes weeks to build a route through there each season.
The avalanche landed right in there, destroying the route, killing a few people who were in there. But the avalanche was so big, it carried right into Base Camp, which is huge, killing many that were just unfortunate enough to have camped closer to that area. In all the years of expeditions on Everest, no avalanche had EVER reached those points.
This avalanche was like a bomb, less like what you might think of normal avalanches with snow. There is house sized ice barrelling down at terminal velocity and exploding ice everywhere. Not to be too ghoulish, but the injuries and deaths are extremely gruesome.
So, there are over a 100 people caught above the ice fall. They can't get down because the route that goes through it was destroyed and it takes weeks to establish. The heli company that is working there has gotten about have the folks from 19- 20k ft down to safety. There have been some seriously heroic rescue attempts and lives saved with many risking their own safety as aftershocks and further avalanches risk more incidents.
Down in the some of the valleys, there are rescue efforts to help areas where entire villages have been wiped out by other avalanches and landslides.
The internet commenter is devilish breed. Enjoy the disaster porn. Those saying that these people got what they deserved should just go jump in a lake. Jump in two lakes.

Either vanity projects for Clinton cronies or giving money to other "charities" and "foundations" with whom they do business / wield influence.
If I recall, there is a tax penalty for parking your money in a non profit and letting it earn interest without paying out a certain amount annually to approved "charities."
So who wants to bet some of that money went to charities like the "Jeff Epstein Caribbean Beach Renewal Project" or the "Huma Weiner Charity for Poor People" or the (fill in the blank here).

Jon Jones is the UFC light Heavyweight champ. Dominant. Hasn't lost in years. Arguably the best martial artist on the planet. He has two brothers in the NFL. Family of studs.
He has an upcoming fight in May. A title defense at UFC 187.
Anyway, yesterday it appears that he got in a mild fender-bender. He ran a red light and caused a 3 car accident. No serious injuries.
Not that big a deal.
Except he appears to have fled the scene of the accident.
On foot.
He was driving a rental car so I guess he thought he could just ditch it.
He probably shouldn't have left his weed and a bunch of paperwork with his name on it in the car.
Also, ppl at the scene could identify him since he's literally the only 6'5 world famous black athlete who lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico. So kinda easy to spot as he took off sprinting into the desert hills.
He's still in hiding 24 hrs later. Cops are trying to find him.
A minor fender bender and pot possession misdemeanor is turning into an epic fuck-up.

What I just don't understand is the Clintons were set financially forever even without such idiocy as this. Their lifestyle would not be any different if they just made an "honest" living.

And this explains obama to a degree. It isn't about the money it is about the idea.
The difference is Obama and his lovely beast love money. Or more accurately they love spending money.
From Obama's shady house deal, to his position on the Al Gore founded carbon trading exchange scam, to Michelle's $300K made up hospital job to living like a pasha on our nickel in the WH, the Obama's have always been interested in having the best that other people's money can buy them.

Obvious guess is he's trying to sober up and avoid any drug tests and evade DUI charges.
Another possibility is -- if he's on any steroids or PEDs -- he could be terrified of blood tests for that reason.
He fight is May 23rd. Probably a million $ payday. So he was probably trying to save that.
A pot or DUI charge wouldn't effect his career much.
Pissing hot for PEDs would, though. UFC cracking down much harder now. He'd be stripped of his title and suspended for 1-2 years likely.
DUI might postpone the fight. PED bust would be much more costly. Probably worth sprinting into the desert to avoid.

I think more than anything the charity is an excuse for bill and hillary to rub elbows with the rich, famous, and international "elite."
For example, without the charity, would Bill and Prince Harry have ever met Richard Epstein and been invited to fly on his private jet down to Pedophile Island?
No, probably not.
They essentially use it as a huge networking event, and use the tax free "charity" money to live like gulf oil Emirs and to yuck it up with the richest, most "elite" people in the world.

I don't even think the Clintons ever pretended to be actually doing charitable work.

They were soliciting money from the public either.

It's far worse than this, btw. Remember, Hillary's speaking engagements are not only expensive (at $225K a pop), but IN ADDITION to that mere speaking fee, she also demands the venue provide her and her staff with a private jet, accomodations (including a Presidential suite, or similar, for Her Rodham Majesty), a stenographer, food, incidentals, any telephone charges, a teleprompter, etc. All the bills go to the host; nothing goes to the Foundation.
So yeah, she's getting the Foundation to cover her flights and shit, in those instances where she can't con some dumbass venue to cover the costs for her. More often than not, the schlubs covering her costs are paying the FOUNDATION for the "privilege" of having her condescend to speak to them for "no more than 90 minutes, with no more than 50 photos of at most 100 people."
Oh, and there will be no press coverage or unapproved photos taken at her events.

this slush fund was [not] going to be discovered in a Presidential race?
==
Good question. First of all, this was hardly a secret. Those who were paying attention (ie "right wingers") knew about this in 2008, last time Hilary ran for POTUS. I remember reading at the time that her fundraising and Bill's extracurricular activities would effectivey doom her Presidential bid as soon as word got out on them.
As to how she/they thought this would never come out, I have two explanations (and they're not mutually exclusive):
a-The Clintons are so shameless, so used to dealing with massive scandals, and are so expectant of a compliant press they didn't really care.
b-Running for POTUS is a way of furthering the CGI, rather than the other way around. In other words, despite the public perception, Hilary doesn't even really WANT to be POTUS. She just wants the attention and cash that being a candidate generates. I don't think this is as crazy as it sounds. . .supposedly privately HRC swore she'd never run for office again after BHO cleaned her clock seven years ago. Her health is questionable, she's not getting any younger, etc. Running "one last time" fills the coffers and keeps her "relevant" for 1-2 more years. If she wins, great. . .if not, so what?

Nah, they thought the media would spin any questions of the Clintons "charity" as "right wing conspiracy theories" like usual. It makes me nervous that the left wing media are the ones pushing this. Because it is such a non story with the Clintons. They are corrupt as all hell and don't even try to hide it. And have been since the Arkansas days.
And the medias always covered for them.
And recall, the Clinton Global Initiative was originally Bills thing. While Hillary was off playing Senator, this was Bills way of keeping busy (and probably of meeting girls, too).
They didn't add Chelsea and Hillary to the organization until much later.

I agree with JackStraw. It's more than that. Obama loves only one thing, and that's himself. He's angling to get this deal with Iran so he can set himself up for some cherry, international diplomat gig in the future. I think he wants to see himself as head of the UN assembly, or maybe something in the Hague. Who knows? He really doesnt' care about the fallout of getting Iran the bomb, or the ability to GET the bomb. As far as he's concerned, all that matters is "Obama Makes Historic Deal With Iran." The nature of that "Historic" is of little interest to him.

That's correct. Among other things (eg knowing where the bodies are buried, and having access to maybe eight-digits of cash at her disposal to slime people), she's also an ex-First lady and Dem party "royalty". No Dem or GOP administration will go after her out of fear and/or loyalty.
As to why she thought this "wouldn't get out", again, she's been dealing with these scandals for decades (EG Whitewater, Lewinsky and half a dozen other Clinton sex scandals including ongoing "lolita" one, Benghazi, etc). She knows how much crap the press has covered up for her, her husband, and Obama before, and she assumes it will go on forever.

I do. I think he hates her that much.
He'd rather a republican like Jeb be in office, so he can throw (verbal) bombs at him for the next 8 years while he works up his own scam to become fabulously wealthy like the Clintons.
And I believe that the Obamas and Clintons absolutely hate each other. So I think Obama would have no problem fucking Hillary over.
His first choice, of course, is a progressive candidate who would "carry on his legacy" but I think a R is a safer bet for "his legacy" then a Hillary! presidency is.
Because she'd be able to "roll back" unpopular parts of OCare, for example, if that would help her in the polls.
An R would never touch it. (well, at least the GOPe R's who Obama et al are counting on getting the nomination)

The Catch-22 though is that this scam ONLY works if Hillary is still showing she is going to try to get power enough to pay these favorable donations back. Once Hillary is done with office (either having obtained or been trounced) they are going to have to get Chelsea into a position where she might obtain the power to award donors in the future or those donors will go find someone with power or the potential to bribe.
Posted by: Bete says it is going to burn, why bother putting it off? at April 27, 2015 03:20 PM (CXdLL)
If that's the "answer" I don't know what the question is. IE which other female politicians could plausibly run for President on the Dem ticket?
The only "good" think I can say about Warren as a candidate is that she's not been involved in so many scandals as the Clintons.
But she's not a particularly good speaker, not charismatic, lacks relevant experience and accomplishment, and is otherwise nearly entirely unsuited to be POTUS. Hell, she barely won election as Senator in **MA** for Pete's sake. Assuming ANY other Dem with experience has the balls to step up, I don't even think she'd win the Dem nomination. I see Warren strictly as another in a long line of liberal MA politicians who lacked what it takes to be elected POTUS (eg Ted Kennedy, Dukakis, John Kerry and yeah, even Romney).

OMalley isn't really historic.
Warren is a woman, so there's that. But as you mention, she sucks at politics.
Julian Castro got the nod to run HUD last year giving him a national profile... He also spoke at the dem convention in 2012 (remember, thats how obama got national exposure -- as a state senator in 2004)... PLUS he's hispanic.
So THAT wouldn't shock me.

If I was in Obama's shoes, I would definitely prefer a Democrat succeed me than a Republican.
If some sacrificial lamb like Elizabeth Warren or O'malley gets the nomination, I could easily see a Dukakis type landslide. Obama's "legacy" is not going to look so great if Democrats get clobbered. It's a pretty clear case that America badly wanted to go in a different direction.

10% is very unusual for a charity. If they were raising money "for a cause," they'd be (rightly) denounced as fraudsters stealing money from donations.
And that 10% in and of itself is suspect, because like you say, it's all pass through to other charities. And someone should investigate those other "charities" i have a feeling they're as much charities as the Clintons charity is.

Unfortunately for ValJar, Mooch remains untouchable and her many, many faux pas not the least of which is the school lunch fiasco. Additionally, the Obama children were supposed to be such charmers that by extension, Mooch, would shine.

I wouldn't assume that Obama is the ultimate power here. We are talking about some of the richest, most powerful people in the world behind the worldwide progressive movement. Guys like Soros who move governments and tyrants throughout the middle east and the old Soviet block.
I've always thought of Obama as a puppet. He was the right guy at the right time. And those powers may conclude that Hillary isn't the right woman at the right time.
This Uranium One deal is huge and includes the governments of Kazakhstan and Russia. And it goes much deeper if you read up on the history of Uranium One and Frank Giustra.
In essence, this is like the mob running the Democrats.

Yeah, I'm so so uber comforted, thanks for the reassurance.
Last week a freak truck diesel spill near a small northern Utah town's water source shut down the entire down. No drinking/bathing/eating, closed the schools, was a huge pain for them. One little spill. This "civilization" thing seems like such a fragile concept sometimes, if the littlest thing can wreak havoc. Don't tell our enemies, although I think they already know.

Yeah, they'd have a hard time running any of those geezers. I think Hillarys the only geezer they'll (seriously) consider, and I think they're trying to knee cap her now.
They just don't have a large number of "experienced" pols in their 40s and 50s who are in any way likable, progressive enough, and "historic" enough.
Not sure what their plan is, but if the media we know and love is attacking Hillary! like this, that means there definitely is a plan and we're watching it play out.

Exactly - I look at Obama as kind of a once in a generation event. I think the left assumes that his election means they will always be able to elect similar figures. That is just not likely - IMO.
Reagan was elected in huge landslides. That wasn't so long ago. The right was probably feeling pretty smug about it.

Time will tell. But BO was elected with every possible tail wind in his favor (the first time at least). And he ran against very weak GOP fields. The fields are much stronger now and the headwinds are much stronger.
I concede that the electorate has shifted to the left - but not so much that we should expect the continual election of people who share BO's ideology.

Now, typically what I do, is I get the envelope all ready to go- addressed, stamped, stuffed before I even get the checks signed, so that when I get the checks back, all I have to do is mail them off.
Well, today I got an inter-office email from a coworker, someone who has been nasty to me ever since she was hired (9 months ago, compared to my 8 years). She said that someone came in and a check wasn't signed and that has happened to her before- that this is the third time this has happened, and it is embarrassing for the office. And, that I need to check to make sure ALL the checks are signed before I send them off. The note was very aggressive and accusatory.
I don't mind to do this, but the whole blaming me thing I can do without. Am I being oversensitive? Is my coworker just plain rude? What say you?

Nixon as the unitary executive was the chief prosecutor. He was the principal - Jaworski was the agent. Nixon said he did not need those documents and would not seek him. As the chief prosecutor that was his decision and his decision alone.
The court basically said an agent of the President has rights over the president when it comes to enforcing the law.
That cannot be right.

A roof over their head, food, travel, security, clothes... no need to actually get any cash, it is absolutely a slush fund and paid campaign team in waiting.
Only people who refuse to see it can believe otherwise.

Doesn't matter. I am sure said coworker has already gone to the boss and put her spin on the situation. That's how it always seems to happen.
Other complaint today- a few weeks back, my boss asked me that I train her on some of my duties, so that if I am ever out, or (God forbid) anything ever happened to me, she would be able to at least do some of the minimum duties. Well, she took this to mean that she would be doing it all the time. So, I let her do them about 80-85% of the time. Well, this past week, I have been taking over on a few cases, only because they are related to some cases I am working on, so I took responsibility of them.
I got another note asking if she wasn't supposed to be doing that work anymore. She noticed I had been doing some of the work. Once again, aggressive and accusatory.

Depends on how you define paygrade. Actual paygrade? Seniority? Job title?
I would be considered the higher-up.
BUT, she is buddy-buddy with the boss. To the point she can do no wrong. So, I think if my boss were forced to choose between me and her, he'd choose her.
And, technically, I AM HR.....so consider it reported.

No CC? Ctrl+C = Ctrl+V. Don't know the environment but In a family / single owner business that would definitely work.

how the Israelis won that war by trickery and deceit.
Yeah, because rules and stuff.
So...what was his excuse for the October War? And Suez? And 1948?
Posted by: Circa (Insert Year Here) at April 27, 2015 03:25 PM (659DL)"
The Egyptians won the October War. No seriously, they believe this. They have a museum in Cairo that tells the whole story. Suez? That was the British and French, not the Jews. And 1948? More of that shape shifting trickery.
