Look Ahead America was registered in DC on May 29 '17.
The officers are:
Matt Braynard @MattBraynard
Thomas Datwyler
Stephen Sarocki
Witold Chrababaszcz @witolddc
..,.Look Ahead America was granted 501c3 status by the IRS in May '17. In Aug '20, LAA's tax exempt status was automatically revoked for not filing a 990 in '17, '18 & '19. Last month, Mr. Braynard assured me via tweet, they would be filed within a month....
...Look Ahead America is not a rinky dink, fly by night operation managed by novices to the world of not-for-profits & campaign finance. They are former Trump campaign staffers & Look Ahead America has rec'd millions in funding since its inception...
...On April 26, '21, Look Ahead America announced James "Jim" Lamon, @jim_lamon, an AZ entrepreneur & candidate for US Senate, donated $2m to LAA for a voter registration drive. Donating $2m to a not-for-profit w/o reviewing its finances or status seems careless at best...
...I'm trying very hard not to say what I think about Look Ahead America's board but it's not easy. Thomas Datwyler is the treasurer of 205 campaign committees per the FEC....
...Per Witold Chrabaszcz's LinkedIn profile, he's still working for the Trump Campaign....
...Ken Vogel covered Look Ahead America in an Aug 8 '17 profile which, at that point, had raised nearly $800k. Not exactly peanuts, is it?... nytimes.com/2017/08/16/us/…
...Taking a break but will return to this Nov 6 '20 ARS Technica story by @jbrodkin about Matt Braynard, Witold Chrabaszcz & the newly formed "Voter Integrity Fund"... arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…
..The ARS Technica article linked to this Nov 13 '20 Philadelphia Inquirer story by @EllieRushing & @wbender99 about Matt Braynard & crew raising money for something called the Voter Integrity Fund... inquirer.com/politics/penns…
...I visited Give Send Go, the #1 free Christian crowdfunding site. Braynard's Voter Integrity Fund was created by External Affairs Inc. & raised $675k... givesendgo.com/VoterIntegrity
...Checked OpenCorporates for External Affairs, Inc. but I can't tell which one is registered to Matt Braynard but my guess is the Delaware registration. Page from External Affairs Inc website....
...Anyone have problem w Matt Braynard testifying as an expert witness in voter fraud cases when his 501c3, Look Ahead America, has accepted millions in donations since '17 but never filed a single 990? No doubt in my mind he's an expert in fraud... cdn.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/…
...That link to Matt Braynard's "expert witness" testimony was from a GA voter fraud lawsuit. The McGiver Institute posted a link to Braynard's "expert witness" testimony in a Wisconsin voter fraud lawsuit... maciverinstitute.com/2020/12/presid…
...Braynard's firm, External Affairs Inc, raked in a total of $190k from the two lawsuits alone plus the $685k he raised on the Give Send Go website. We have no idea how much Look Ahead America took in during '20. We do know Jim Lamon donated $2m this year...
..And that's all I can take of Matt Braynard et al for now. More to come.

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...
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...
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...
Three minutes later, Sheya Landa tweeted that the fundraiser was cancelled. At 11 pm, Belaaz News confirmed the event was cancelled...
Speaking of Chicago, who is Onisim "Nick" Dorfneau & why he is on the board of Trump Org?
Per LinkedIn, Onisim Dorneau has an educational background in computer forensics, criminal justice & policing, nuclear power technician & counterterrorism training...
Onisim Dorneau apparently is one of three founders of Moogle Pharma, a Romanian company registered in 2020 that aims "to become one of the main international distributors of medicines"... mooglepharma.com/#home
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....
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...
Per Gov DeSantis' press release, you also are the Director of Strategic Partnerships for the Brazilian American Coalition which, according to , hasn't existed since Sept 2023 & never filed for a FEIN.... sunbiz.org
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...
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)....
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:
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... vanityfair.com/news/2019/06/m…
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... vanityfair.com/news/2019/01/t…
