Trump says he'll revoke Harvard's tax-exempt status

Why stop there, let's do it to every non-profit NGO that the Dems use to launder money. Audit them all. Prosecute the fraud.

And throw all ivy league administrators in jail for turning our youth into indentured slaves to the insane tuition that has been foisted on us over the past 30 years.
 Criminals and crooks the lot of them

Crazy idea, hear me out. Lets create a gov department under the administrative branch that can audit all other gov departments and report fraud and waste. Then let the administrative branch, under their constitutional authority, make changes to those agencies to eliminate the waste and fraud. We can call it the Department of Government Efficiency. Seems like everyone in this thread would support that.

I had a job once where we wrote the programs and then wrote the part inspection programs.

I don't have a problem taxing private institutions one bit, including religious organizations. I honestly cannot understand why the majority of people wouldn't agree with this.

In college my fiance was in the club that organized all the student events (trivia night, concerts, dinners, etc). All the money they spent (and we're talking six figures) was with a school card and it HAD to be tax exempt. If a company couldn't tax exempt a purchase they weren't allowed to make the purchase.

It never made sense to me, I have to pay taxes but the college she's paying tens of thousands of dollars to attend doesn't?  ???

QuoteThe National Institutes of Health will look into an $89 billion, 25-year grant awarded to the Alliance for Advancing Biomedical Research in the last days of President Joe Biden's administration.

The nonprofit "operate exclusively for the benefit of" the University of California system, according to its tax filings. However, the nonprofit, formed in 2022, has never raised a dime nor spent a dime.

Furthermore, the California-based nonprofit would operate the lab at Maryland's Fort Detrick, taking the contract away from Leidos Biomedical Research. As reported by The Washington Free Beacon, Leidos "held that role for about 30 years."

The Washington Free Beacon reported the "seemingly dormant" Alliance for Advancing Biomedical Research now faces an investigation, after Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley raised questions about the massive grant.

"It's outrageous Biden's NIH shoved a nearly $90 billion contract out the door just days before President Trump returned to office," Grassley told the news outlet.

"Even worse, the money would have flowed to an organization that can't clearly protect itself from adversaries like China," Sen. Grassley said. "I'm very glad HHS heeded my calls to reverse course and is now re-evaluating its initial proposal. I urge the department to ensure efficient use of taxpayer dollars as it works to defeat cancer and save lives."

The Free Beacon reported further:

Grassley also said he was concerned about the University of California's well-documented failure to protect its labs from security breaches by China's government.

"It has been reported that between 1987 and 2021, at least 162 scientists who had worked at Los Alamos [National Laboratory] returned to China to support a variety of domestic research and development programs, including at least 59 who were involved with China's talent programs," Grassley wrote [in a letter to the NIH]. "It appears that the University of California's inability to keep China out of U.S. R&D is an issue that spans nearly four decades."

Leidos previously expressed its disappointment in January, when it lost the contract.

"While we are disappointed that we may not continue this particular work and partnership, we expect to receive more information on our proposal in the coming days, which will help us better understand the evaluation process and next steps," the Frederick News-Post reported on Jan. 23.

The left would cry racism, transphobia, etc... the usual bullshit they scream when R's do something, especially Trump.
ANYTHING to block whatever Trump is trying to do. They've done it non-stop since he announced he was running for POTUS in 2016.
Anyone who cannot see this is purposely looking the other way.
