Who knew that Johns Hopkins University had a head count so bloated that it could easily cut 2000 staff members? Honestly, I could have guessed that without looking up the student enrollment. It is a university of some size, and therefore has an uncounted number of useless or worse employees whom they can afford to keep on board because the federal government keeps pouring ungodly amounts of money into Higher Ed, even though the return for both the country and for the students is getting worse and worse. Johns Hopkins University announces it will fire nearly 2,000 workers over cut...

The invaluable Truth Over News just released a new podcast entitled “Pop-Up NGO Shell Companies”. It describes how the “Biden” administration's seemingly innocuous $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund was abused to make certain Democrats very, very, very rich. Unlike the amateur corruption of direct payments or board positions (Biden-level) or the foundation-based approaches (Clinton-level), this sophisticated mechanism channels unprecedented billions through hastily-created shell organizations with minimal oversight. These "Pop-Up NGO Shells" serve as conduits between government funds and thousands of pre-existing NGOs, creating permanent funding structures that survive administration changes. “Climate Change”: The Ultimate Grift Using climate change as...

In this episode of Truth Over News, we dive into the "popup NGO" scheme—where vast amounts of government money are funneled into existing funds, often tied to Green New Deal-style initiatives, and then distributed to newly created shell organizations with no track record.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., has emerged into the spotlight amid a new ethics complaint due to his voting in favor of laws that ultimately funded millions in grants to a nonprofit climate group that pays his wife's consulting firm. But who is his wife, Sandra Whitehouse? Whitehouse earned her bachelor's degree at Yale University, similar to her now-senator husband, according to her LinkedIn page. After that, she earned her master's degree at the Graduate School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island, studying there from 1986 to 1994. She and Sheldon Whitehouse married in 1986 at the St. George's...

Not a bad week for the Administration which has, inter alia, gelded his domestic opposition, the UN, WHO, and the WEF, forced Trudeau into retirement, and exposed the EU as a collection of toothless poseurs. GriftingThe unveiling of the USAID’s scandalous misappropriation of money continues. This week, MSNBC tried to toss a lifesaver to Stacey Abrams, asking her to explain the $2 billion allotted to her pop-up nonprofit by the EPA when she lacked all experience for managing so much money. Didn’t work. In fact, her own words underscore that this was a Democrat party grift. She claimed it was...
