Insider money funneling is a part of EVERY single aspect of government.

Makes total sense. After all, conservatives are stupid and they smell bad. Just ask Peter Strzok.

Named after Harry Truman? So I guess you have to be down with the democrat agenda to get one of those scholarships.

Conservatives don’t like being wards of the State so I find nothing wrong with this analysis nor it’s results.

What can you say except that the bigoted bastards don’t even try and hide it anymore.

A royal house cleaning is looking better and better all the time.

Agreed!! In fact its worse than stealing. It’s actually money extorted from us by the threat of force which they sugar coat it by calling taxes. Then they use this looted, ill gotten gains for their own partisan or personal destruction of the U.S. They are worse than thieves.

...36 percent of the 59 recipients in 2018 had worked for Democratic candidates including Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, or Barack Obama. Others worked for organizations like Tom Steyer’s NextGen America and Planned Parenthood. The analysis revealed that another 29 percent of the recipients claim that they are interested in advancing progressive ideas including intersectionality, climate change, government-provided health insurance, and LGBTQ issues.
Thanks blam. Living up to the Truman name -- he did some admirable things, but he was poisonously partisan.

It’s time to end tax breaks for all non-profits.

That is NOT the proper take-away of this post!

First, this is a Federal program, not a non-profit.

Second, conservative non-profits do exist and flourish. Why harm them?

Last, if anything, this post demonstrates that if we take away the tax benefits enjoyed by conservative non-profits, then we would be left with the government administered funds going exclusively to projects on the left.

People can still pull their money together to help whoever they want to - - but tax favored nonprofits are a total ripoff.

If the press was honest - and they’re not - they would look into how these groups operate.

Truman was a Democrat so the usual bias and hatred of conservatives doesn’t bother me that much in this case.

Yes, it’s everywhere, it’s deep, it’s pervasive, it can’t be escaped. Very much like 1984 come to life.

If there were lots of conservative nonprofits the corrupt press would have been all over them... and they’re not. Not now and not in the past...

Does it bother you that the funds for this award come from your tax dollars?!

So somewhere between $3 to $4 million total to administer $1.8 million in scholarships so that we can have more dedicated Swampers. Great idea.

Elect Bernie and college will be “free” for all the progressives.

Spit.
