Senator Rick Scott's campaign against the Affordable Care Act in '09 via his Conservatives For Patients' Rights is a notorious case of not-for-profit abuse. First off, it was registered as a 501c3 when it was clearly a 501c4 but, hey, Rick wanted the tax deduction... ImageImage

..Kelly Benedetti, former executive director of Conservatives For Patients' Rights, knew the '09 990 was deficient when she signed it in Nov '10. She knew the rules, given her disclosure re compensation on the '10 990... ImageImageImage

Reviewing the 990s filed by Veterans For Economic Freedom, CEO Pete Hegseth. The preparer, Michael J. Engle, is the Koch's go-to CPA for all their not-for-profits including the one formerly headed by Mike Roman... Image
More later. Wanted to point out to interested parties how to find the 990s for Veterans For Economic Freedom dba Concerned Veterans For America. The address is a UPS store box despite paying rent & hiring numerous employees.
Veterans For Economic Freedom dba Concerned Veterans For America was registered in Delaware in Oct 2012 & the year end is Sept 30. Looks like Wade Zirkle may have helped Hegseth land the CEO position... Image

I want to walk thru what happened late last night re the secret Frum fundraiser for Trump, scheduled to be held at Trump Tower on Sept 5. At 1 pm yesterday, @TheBelaaz posted about the fundraiser...
At 8:30 last night, Sheya Landa tweeted that Team Trump told him to keep the fundraiser secret & was upset about the Belaaz News scoop. Landa is an advisor to Nassau County Exec Bruce Blakeman & his father, Ben, was slated to attend... Image

Congrats @DanFoganholi on yr appointment by Gov DeSantis to the State Board of Ed. Re yr position w New Generations Children’s Ministry - its IRS tax exempt status was revoked after filing a single 990-N in 2014.... Image
The New Generations Children’s Ministry website is now inactive. Per the internet archive, it looks the website was reactivated in 2022 after being inactive for several years... Image

Not enough attention has been paid to Santos campaign finance director Lianna Farnesi. After college, she was trained by the Heritage Foundation, worked for the Trump campaign & then Templar Baker where she was assigned to the Santos campaign....
Funny how Elise Stefanik knew right off the bat Farnesi wasn't involved in covering up Santos' malfeasance even though she was intimately involved in the Santos campaign inner workings. Same tel # for this RSVP... Image
Oh. Lianna Farnesi has been on the NRCC's payroll since Jan 2023. Which means the NRCC, not Elise Stefanik, is paying Farnesi to work on Stefanik's campaign. Also footing her legal bills? (ty @jgmac1106).... Image

Trump's elaborate plan to keep his romance w Melania secret & apply for the Einstein visa has to be seen in the context of his pre-nup & divorce from Marla Maples. Per NYS Supreme Court: Image
Per Gabriel Sherman for Vanity Fair, Trump would only have to pay Marla Maples $1M if they separated within five years of their marriage on Dec 20 1993...

The whole stupid made up story about meeting Melania for the first time in Sept 1998 could have been avoided if Trump didn't have a giant inflated ego...
