I’m not a gun person. I was raised among leftist gun haters.
So when I first heard about @JohnRLottJr’s book, “More Guns, Less Crime,” I was skeptical.
But he was right. Here he explains why government ignores many examples where guns SAVED people:
🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.
It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.
In the **United States**, under federal law (primarily IRC Section 6104 and related IRS regulations), the **financial information** of most tax-exempt nonprofits (especially 501(c)(3) charities, but also other 501(c) organizations) is largely **public** through mandatory disclosure rules for **IRS Form 990** series returns (990, 990-EZ, 990-PF for private foundations, etc.) and the organization's application for tax-exempt status (e.g., Form 1023).
### Who Can Access These Financials by Law?
**Anyone** — there are **no restrictions** on who can request or view them. The law requires public disclosure to promote transparency and accountability for tax-exempt organizations. This includes:
- The general public (individuals, donors, journalists, researchers, competitors, etc.)
- Potential donors
- Members of the media
- Government agencies (though they have additional access routes)
- Other nonprofits or watchdog groups
- Literally **any person** who makes a request — no need to provide a reason, prove interest, or qualify in any way.
Key points from IRS rules:
- Nonprofits must make the three most recent annual information returns (Form 990 series) available for **public inspection** (in-person at their principal office during regular business hours) and provide **copies** upon request (in-person or written).
- They must also disclose their exemption application (Form 1023/1024 series) and related IRS correspondence.
- For 501(c)(3) organizations, certain **Form 990-T** (unrelated business income tax) filings are also public.
- Exceptions: Contributor names and addresses are generally redacted (except for private foundations), and some minor schedules may not apply.
### How Access Works
- **Direct from the nonprofit** — They must comply promptly (same day for in-person; usually within 30 days for written requests). They can charge reasonable copying fees (typically ~$0.20 per page per IRS guidelines) and actual postage if mailing.
- **From the IRS** — The IRS provides copies via Form 4506-A or makes many available online through their **Tax Exempt Organization Search** tool.
- **Third-party sites** — Organizations like Candid/GuideStar, ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer, or others aggregate and post them publicly for free/easy access.
- **No special status needed** — It's not limited to U.S. citizens, residents, or anyone with a "legitimate interest."
### Internal Access (Beyond the Public)
- **Board members** — Have full fiduciary duty access to all internal financials (including detailed books, audits, etc., not just public 990s).
- **State regulators** — In many states (e.g., via Attorney General or Secretary of State), additional filings or audited financials may be required and sometimes more accessible, but the core public rule stems from federal IRS requirements.
### Bottom Line
**By federal law, nonprofit financials (via Form 990 and exemption docs) are open to the entire public** — no gatekeeping, no approval needed. This is a core part of the bargain for tax-exempt status: in exchange for not paying taxes and receiving donor deductibility, organizations must be transparent.
If you're asking about a specific nonprofit, state-level rules (which can add requirements), or something else like private vs. public foundations, let me know for more details!
People are confusing catching the ball and establishing possession. Yes, he def caught the ball but because he didn’t hold on to the ball through the end of the play he never established possession. If he had caught the ball and took a few steps the knee would have established him down by contact. This is not a hard call. Interception.
@RGIII@NFL@OuttaPocketRG3@BuffaloBills I don’t understand how ya’ll dont grasp what happened here. If you “catch” the ball with two feet down in bounds, falling out of bounds and don’t survive the ground it’s incomplete. That’s why this is a INT.
NEW: ESPN’s Ryan Clark accuses Uber drivers of “musically profiling” him by changing the songs when he gets in the car.
“I am tired of being musically profiled in Ubers.”
“The [driver] doesn't even ask me. He just changes the radio. First song, All Eyes On Me by Tupac. That's not even one of the songs I listened to from that album.”
How traumatizing.
