Remember the outrage from the left when Elon Musk and the DOGE crew uncovered all the fraud in the USAID program? Billions of our tax dollars going to leftist causes after being laundered through so-called non-profits. These were “charities” in the most basic and legal sense, but they were really partisan organizations using our tax dollars to advance a progressive agenda around the world.

While USAID spread money overseas, much the same scam is happening in the domestic “charity” world, too.

When I started at the Heritage Foundation in 2001, one of the first things I was told was that I was NOT to do anything even remotely political on their computers or during work hours. In the Clinton administration, Heritage had been audited nearly every year by the IRS – surely just a coincidence and NOT the early stages of Democrats weaponizing government, right?

With that history, even under a Republican administration, Heritage had a policy of erring on the side of caution. It wasn’t an issue for me, I was new in town and wouldn’t have even known how to conspire politically with anyone if I had wanted to. But that rule lorded over my time there – the fear of embarrassing a place I really loved, or damaging it, was always in the back of my mind.

Today, it doesn’t seem to be an issue for any non-profit. Where they are supposed to not engage in political activity or partisan activism, you can’t find an organization that is now actively wearing the uniform of one side or another.

For the most part, things started to change when Media Matters for America was launched by weirdo turncoat........
