  1. Cheap shot by Howard Dean he should be ashamed of himself - I can see how it's tempting to sink to the alt-right level ( Obama is a secret gay Muslim, Michelle is a Tranny, and their daughters are adopted/clones) (Hillary and Bill had dozens of people murdered in Arkansas) - I do wonder if you had 50 or so lib websites and 20 or so lib radio nuts spewing that Trump is a coke snorting Satanist who eats babies if you could get Hillary supporter to parrot back that meme like Trump supporters parrot back the Michelle is a Tranny or Obama is a gay Muslim meme.

  2. The dumpy frump had a beginning slump but head in rump Trump said he was smart not dumb because Taxes he paid none making his working-class chums into chumps.

     

    So Trump of orange hair clump should takes some lumps but I bet he gets a bump and why is that? cause many have the attention span of a gnat and the intelligence of a stump.

  3. I missed the peer reviewed journal this was in.

     

     

    No, you weren't. You were shown exactly who did a study, who reviewed it, and who concurred with it.

     

    Nobody said anything about not needing peer review.

     

    Tony Baloney you don't read very well and neither do your posts but keep up with your CAN-DO-DO ideas and I will devote to them the energy they deserve.

     

  4. you're

    and yet, no one in NC is actually talkijg about this. The demographic of the poor and minorities don't care. They'll still vote for Mel Watt and slews of other inadequate politicians because that's what they know.

     

    At this rate id bet a lot of Money McCrory wins more easily than people believe. People are tired of politicians on the left bastardizing our state at the expense of only us. Using us as a national spotlight for **** we do not care about. Trannys in the bathrooms, bull **** claims of racism. Under paid teachers.

     

    Yeah, I guess they miss Bev Perdue

    You're not defending him, but you were certainly more outraged about the allied forces hitting Syrian troops outside the cease fire zone than you were about Syrian troops destroying a humanitarian convoy delivering needed supplies to a besieged city.

     

    But yes, I'm the one who needs to wake up.

    Would you be more outraged by your kid robbing and beating an old lady or some other kids robbing, beating and raping an old lady - one is worse but the other is connected to you.

    I'm not defending Assad. The fact that those are the only two options from your perspective shows just how warped and outdated your world view actually is.

     

    It's also enlightening that you're not at all fighting the notion that we are supporting and funding ISIS in Syria while simultaneously using their existence to justify shredding the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh amendments. This isn't about Asad. It's about our country and what's really going on in the world on a geopolitical level.

     

    When you finally do wake up, it's gonna hurt.

    Something people should consider when thinking about Saddam, Assad, and Gaddafi, yes there were/are groups against them because they are brutal dictators but they are also opposed by groups who's main complaint is that they are not Islamic enough- they provide education and other rights to women, and show various degrees of tolerance to other religions - in this mix of groups it always seems the fundamentalists becomes the dominate faction, I think that's because they are more willing to both kill and die - the moderates are looking for a better life but it's hard to have a better life if you get yourself killed.

    Oh..............and for lybob.

     

    The Clinton Foundation spent less than 6 percent of its budget on charitable grants in 2014, according to documents the organization filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in 2015.

    During the 2014 tax year, the tax-exempt foundation spent a total of $91.2 million, but less than $5.2 million of that money, or 5.7 percent, was granted to charitable organizations, the group’s tax filings show. The Clinton Foundation raised nearly $178 million in 2014. The organization’s charitable grants also declined significantly when compared to its donations in 2013. Compared to its 2013 charitable grants of $8.8 million, the Clinton Foundation’s grants in 2014 declined by more than 40 percent, even as its revenue over the same period increased by 20 percent. According to the tax filings, the Clinton Foundation is currently sitting on $354 million in assets, including $125 million in cash or cash equivalents and $108 million in property or equipment.

     

     

    In a radio interview Aug. 23, 2016, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus wrongly interpreted tax forms submitted by the Clinton Foundation to claim that the foundation spends the vast majority of its donations on overhead and not charitable work.

    Speaking on The Mike Gallagher Show, Priebus described the foundation as a way to make the Clintons rich and said he couldn’t find examples of charitable work that they do.

    "And so, these people ask the question in interviews, especially in the liberal media, you know, well ‘don’t you think they do great work?’ Well, I don’t know what great work they do," Priebus said. "I mean the fact is, is if they’ve got about 80 percent overhead and 20 percent of the money's actually getting into the place that it should, then it seems like the only work that the Clinton Foundation is doing is lining the pockets of Bill and Hillary Clinton. And that, to me, should be investigated …"

    The claim that 80 percent of the money the foundation raises goes to overhead -- a term used to described expenses that go to management and fundraising costs -- is something that has been made by Carly Fiorina and Rush Limbaugh in varying forms.

    But, despite what Priebus says, it’s an incorrect reading of tax forms submitted by the foundation, experts who monitor and study charitable organizations say. We did not hear back from RNC spokesman Sean Spicer.

    A wrong reading

    Priebus’ case is built on the notion that the only charitable work the Clinton Foundation does is in grant-making and, by extension, everything else is overhead.

    We’ll use the Clinton Foundation’s most recent IRS tax form, for 2014, as an example. (It starts on Page 28 of this document.) The foundation reported total expenses in 2014 of a little over $91 million but grants of just $5.1 million. That’s close to 6 percent of the foundation’s money being spent on grants.

    Over a five-year period from 2009-12, the foundation raised over $500 million, the conservative website The Federalist reported, but only 15 percent of that, or $75 million, went toward grants.

    But that doesn’t mean everything else is overhead, people who monitor charities and their practices say.

    "Although it has ‘foundation’ in its name, the Clinton Foundation is actually a public charity," Brian Mittendorf, a professor of accounting at Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business, wrote in the Chronicle of Philanthropy. "In practical terms, this means both that it relies heavily on donations from the public and that it achieves its mission primarily by using those donations to conduct direct charitable activities, as opposed to providing grants from an endowment.

    "Failure to understand the difference led to the widespread claim (covered by the New York Post, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and others) that only a small portion of Clinton Foundation spending goes toward charity. While measuring charitable endeavors by the amount of grants awarded may be appropriate for many private foundations, it is not for an organization that acts as a direct service provider like the Clinton Foundation."
