"...a major blow to the embattled organization"

Correction: "...a major blow to the TOTALLY USELESS, CORRUPT, GRIFTING organization"

The USIP was in the middle of a dramatic standoff with staffers from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency earlier this month. President Donald Trump dismissed much of the institute’s board, with the remaining members — including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — firing the organization’s president and CEO and installing Kenneth Jackson, a DOGE member, as the acting leader.

And that's how you do it.

Remember, all of these NGOs have a name that’s the opposite of what they actually do

[Lizavetta]

I would bet my left tit that the Institute of Peace was occupied with installing leftists in power to continue the scourge of globalist d-bags trying to take down the U.S.

[albie]

Institute of Peace my ass! That’s right up there with “this home has no hate” signs. Total BS.

[Jeff Vader]

it’s kind of uncanny how that works

This turned into another lefty skim operation.

“On many of its projects, the institute works in partnership with non-governmental organizations, higher and secondary educational institutions, international organizations, local organizations, and U.S. government agencies”

Bureaucratic madness—all paid for by taxpayers.

[Red Badger]

Not any more..........

[Billthedrill]

Well...”mostly peaceful”...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

That is such typical leftist / progressive bosh, blather, balderdash and gobbledegook: “...the institute works in partnership with non-governmental organizations, higher and secondary educational institutions, international organizations, local organizations, and U.S. government agencies”

In other words, they DON’T DO ANYTHING!

[Fungi]

Never bet a tit—you woud look silly with only one.

[Red Badger]

War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is strength........

The problem is the nipples never grow back. Don’t ask me how I know.

See post 17—when they actually did something it was evil.

[yesthatjallen]

How much success have they had in achieving peace? Did they send representatives to Ukraine and Gaza?
