@KarenBassLA
I’m curious about your confidence heading into the November runoff.
Many of Spencer Pratt’s voters, and those who supported other challengers (EVERYONE I KNOW), cast their ballots primarily as a protest against you and your leadership, not out of strong enthusiasm for any specific alternative.
A vote for Spencer (or Raman) was, almost for all of us, far more a vote against your record than for them. I doubt you’ll convert any of those Spencer voters they hate you and protest votes are driven by dissatisfaction with the status quo, and right now that dissatisfaction is squarely focused on you and what you have (or haven’t) delivered for all of us.
We all are frustrated, and simply projecting confidence won’t change that, we want you out and will vote against you more than for Raman! In addition it will put her on notice that she will have 4 years to make positive change (something you haven’t come close to) or she will be out. I would vote for a talking rattle snake than vote for you!

In 4 Years there has been ZERO accomplished by you @MayorOfLA !!! You can talk all you want about some numbers moving down but you are a failure I will never understand how anyone can say 4 more years. We have no choice I can only conclude people are really robots just pulling a Blue or Red lever and no one of quality wants to get in the cesspool with crocodiles, alligators and snakes! This song sums if all up as far as what needs to happen!

Verified fraud cases involving NGOs/nonprofits and politicians are documented through court records, DOJ prosecutions, and settlements, but “all” is impossible to list exhaustively—hundreds occur over time across federal, state, and local levels.13
Fraud typically involves embezzlement, false claims for grants/reimbursements, donor deception, or misuse of funds (e.g., via False Claims Act cases). Many tie to federal grants (e.g., child nutrition, immigration, green energy, research). Politician involvement often includes steering funds, conflicts of interest, or personal benefit. Here’s a summary of notable verified (prosecuted/convicted or settled with admissions) examples, focused on recent/high-profile ones. Allegations without convictions are excluded.18
Major Nonprofit/NGO Fraud Cases (Often Grant-Related)
•Feeding Our Future (Minnesota, ~$250M child nutrition fraud, 2020s): Nonprofit executives and associates faked meal counts/invoices for federal COVID-era programs. Funds allegedly used for luxury homes/cars. Multiple convictions; mastermind sentenced to nearly 42 years. DOJ charged ~98 people, 64+ convictions. Related probes ongoing.42
•New Heights Community Resource Center (Missouri): Exec Connie Bobo charged with ~$10M fraud in child meal programs (falsified counts/invoices). Funds allegedly for personal luxury. Facing wire fraud and other charges.41
•Various grant embezzlements (HHS, HUD, etc.): Examples include foundation execs falsifying records/time sheets (e.g., $1.1M settlement); accountants stealing from housing/AIDS grants ($600k+ restitution/prison); YouthBuild grant theft ($375k personal spending, 6 months prison). Common in CNCS, DOL, NASA grants.18
•Cancer Fund of America et al. (multi-state, 2016 settlement): Sham charities bilked ~$187M from donors. Dissolved with $75M+ judgment.45
•Research/foreign funding cases: Universities/nonprofits (e.g., Cleveland Clinic $7.6M settlement, U. Maryland $500k) for failing to disclose foreign support on federal grants. Georgia Tech/Penn State cybersecurity false claims settlements.20
•Other charity scams: On Your Feet Inc. founders sentenced for selling donated goods for personal profit/tax evasion. Veterans charity CEO sentenced for diverting funds to personal use.43
Broader context: GAO estimates hundreds of billions in annual improper payments/fraud risk across federal programs, some involving NGOs.13
Indicted/Convicted Politicians Tied to NGO/Nonprofit Fraud or Corruption
Direct “NGO fraud” links to politicians are rarer than general corruption (bribery, steering funds, self-dealing), but overlaps exist:
•George Santos (former U.S. Rep., NY): Indicted on wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds, false statements. Allegedly embezzled campaign contributions; lies in disclosures. Conviction-related outcomes followed.9
•Robert Menendez (former U.S. Senator): Convicted (with wife and others) of bribery, foreign agent offenses. Involved influence for personal benefit (not purely NGO, but fits corruption patterns). Sentenced to 11 years.0
•State/local examples: NY cases like Assemblyman William Boyland Jr. (bribery tied to nonprofit/hospital funds); Sen. Shirley Huntley (embezzlement via self-created nonprofits/grants). Multiple NY lawmakers investigated for directing public funds to tied nonprofits.7
•PAC/Political Nonprofit Scams: Operatives (e.g., Richard Zeitlin, Robert Piaro) convicted for defrauding donors via misrepresentations (tens of millions raised; funds not used as promised). Prosecutors scrutinized multiple political nonprofits for fundraising fraud.3
Congressional hearings (e.g., 2025 Oversight on “NGO slush funds” for immigration/green energy) highlight alleged waste/conflicts (e.g., revolving door between officials and grantees), but these are often policy critiques rather than proven criminal fraud.10
Key Caveats
•Scale and Context: Most nonprofits are legitimate; fraud is a small % but costly. Want more?

🚨 NANCY PELOSI TELLS LINDELLTV REPORTER: “SHUT UP AGAIN” OVER JAN 6 QUESTIONS 🚨
LindellTV's @alisonintheknow confronted @SpeakerPelosi with questions about January 6th, the National Guard, and Pelosi's OWN comments caught on camera following the Capitol breach.
Pelosi immediately fired back:
“Shut up again because you're speaking lies.”
When Steinberg continued pressing for answers, Pelosi refused to engage and instead attacked our reporter's credibility.
“You work for Mike the Pillow Man. That's not journalism.”
Pelosi then escalated:
“All you do is spout untruths.”
“Get away from me.”
Notably absent from the exchange? Answers.
Instead of addressing lingering questions about January 6th, the National Guard response, or her own behind-the-scenes role that day, Pelosi chose insults over accountability.
The American people are still asking questions.
@SpeakerPelosi is still refusing to answer them
