As the death toll from two years of war in Gaza nears 60,000, a growing number of people are dying from starvation and malnutrition, Gaza health authorities say, with images of starving children shocking the world and fuelling international criticism of Israel over sharply worsening conditions.

Yesterday, we told you that the FireAid scandal hit President Trump's radar. As it should: tens of millions of dollars raised with the explicit promise that those monies would go directly to victims of the L.A. wildfires. Instead, the money went to Leftist nonprofit organizations, and not a dime went to people who lost everything.

"Is [the U.S. Agency for International Development] a good use of resources?" James Macinko, a health policy researcher at UCLA, asked in an NPR interview this month. "We found that the average taxpayer has contributed about 18 cents per day to USAID." That "small amount," Macinko estimated, had prevented "up to 90 million deaths around the world." Macinko was referring to a study he coauthored, which was published in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet. In addition to estimating that USAID programs had saved 90 million lives from 2001 to 2021, Macinko and his colleagues project that if the Trump...

It's striking how similar NPR's situation is to that of Planned Parenthood. Both organizations have an affiliate model and both just had a lot of federal money cut from their budgets. That means both are now hoping to find new sources of funding to keep the doors open. The NY Times reports there has been an increase in donations to PBS and NPR but so far the amount isn't nearly enough to offset the cuts.Over the last three months, as the prospect of the cuts intensified, roughly 120,000 new donors have contributed an estimated $20 million in annual value, said...

Media Matters, a left-wing media watchdog, is reportedly facing an existential crisis as it drowns in government investigations, legal expenses from a defamation case and loss of donors, according to The New York Times. Media Matters’s future looks so dire since layoffs were reported in May that some involved with the organization have contemplated declaring bankruptcy or shutting down entirely in recent months, the NYT reported Friday, citing internal documents and 11 sources familiar with the situation. The Democrat-aligned group purports to monitor and combat “conservative misinformation in the U.S. media” and is under investigation by the Trump administration’s Federal...

It’s bad enough that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting had been funneling millions in tax dollars to leftist propaganda mills NPR and PBS over the decades. But what if we were to tell you that the CPB funded one of America's "fact-checking" giants backed by George Soros responsible for censoring conservatives on social media platforms for years?

Poynter, which runs the left-tilting International Fact-Checking...

In some massive news for those wanting to see fraudsters held accountable for their awful crimes against the public, the Department of Justice and FBI announced that it had arrested nearly 6 dozen fraudsters in the deep blue state of Minnesota over a scheme in which they stole $250 million from a program meant to feed hungry children. As background, the $250 million fraud scheme targeted a children’s nutrition program that was created during the COVID-19 pandemic and called “Feeding our Future.” It was meant to reimburse the costs of feeding children during the pandemic, so as to keep kids...
