I am not one to entirely judge the amount somebody makes from a non-profit without more information on the ratios of contributions vs salaries and how a CEO's salary fits. I would not be surprised if in his case that the ratios are not good in his case, but I cannot make that guess on a number without context.

From time to time, I hear complaints about the salaries of non-profit folks but then when you put a comparison of the role with a for-profit organization, their salaries for the non-profits are way, way, below for-profit, in terms of roles, size and responsibilities.

In legit non-profits, we know what we got into, but to say that they all should make peanuts compared to similar jobs is an unfair comparison and also means, you don't hire talent. I love to here "well a real company would do...." and I think, well in a real company, I would have a way bigger budget and be making a much larger amount (and sometimes the "real companies" they try to compare to are huge with 100K+ employees, not say 400).

That said, there are a bunch of non-profits out there where CEOs are making way too much and it is more about their own gratification and not the mission of the organization.

Yeah, I have some opinions here.

Oh gosh, whatever. I recall 20 years ago or so when the President/CEO of the RedCross was taking home around $750k/year and some donors were concerned. But, you think about how much truly a non-profit is bringing $$ in and not some flim-flam/sham non-profit like Veritas, it sounds like a reasonable salary.

Veritas was just a grift for him. Nothing more.

Okay... I was too busy during lunch to look the up on Charity Navigator or GuideStar so thanks for this. With this context I will now say.. what a load of shite they are. Their numbers are crap, and too much is going into admin, and his salary.

Full disclosure, I have a day job with a non-profit that has been 4-star rated by CN for many years.

Thanks for posting this. It's only 20 pages and a really interesting read. PV is blown apart. This is all the (allegedly) Ashley Biden journal, in which the people who stole it and transported it over state lines admitted it was a crime and flipped to the government. It brings up First Amendment issues, privilege, and the crime-fraud exception. Just as with the (alleged) Hunter Biden laptop, these MAGAts have forgotten that STOLEN PROPERTY is not available for distribution. They have such little regard for ethics and legality that they think anything goes if it will destroy an opponent. I'm thankful we still have guardrails that pound these defective nails into the ground.

I followed that odd Tweet and see a bunch of folks deciding it is some behind the scene cabal led by Paul Ryan (who is on the board) and the 2% ownership stake by a state pension fund. They are all screaming about RINOs and non-Conservatives taking over Fox. It's like they don't even realize that the Murdochs control at least 40% of the stock.

Apparently, various funds like Fox because they pay good dividends, or did. Actually, the stock drop, while there does not seem all great, and the rest of the market tanked as well.

But outrage and conspiracies rule the day.

Former FBI supervisory special agent Jared Wise, who worked counterterrorism for the FBI’s New York field office, joined James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas after leaving the bureau,

and Adam Goldman report.

He used the code name Bendghazi.

So, one of the former big wigs in the famous Trump Humper Field Office of the FBI. Ha ha ha ha ha. I'm glad they did an early morning "raid".

Apparently, Veritas sued O'Keefe today. But I can't find it anywhere but this tweet. The tweet thread has all pages of the complaint though so I think it's legit.

So is Veritas still going to pull the same crap as it did when O'Keefe was in charge?

Training people to lie and try to get damaging information on video? Deceptive editing of the videos? Someone wearing an Osama bin Laden mask during a fake crossing of the US border?

'Cuz I don't want to miss the fun, y'know. :towel:
