The Obama administration recently gave a $270,000 grant to an Islamic charity that has been banned by Israel and the United Arab Emirates because of alleged financial ties to the terrorist group Hamas and to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services provided the funds last month to the U.K.-based Islamic Relief Worldwide
...
In 2014, Israel and United Arab Emirates banned IRW, which is headquartered in Birmingham, England, from operating within its borders alleging that the group supports and funds Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood’s military arm in Palestine.
Israeli defense minister Moshe Yaalon alleged in July 2014 that IRW’s chapters in the West Bank and Gaza Strip were being run by members of Hamas.
“The IRW is one of the sources of Hamas’s funding and a means for raising funds from various countries in the world,” Israeli defense minister Moshe Yaalon said in a July 2014 statement. “We do not intend to allow it to function and abet terrorist activity against Israel.”
...
IRW’s links to Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood should, at the very least, disqualify it from receiving any federal funding.
“IRW’s Muslim Brotherhood ties should rule it out of the running for government grants. This is simply common sense

Shouldn’t surprise anyone....not with the brotherhood in the White Hut
No surprise there. 0’s entire presidency has been dedicated to giving away this country to the towelheads.
Nothing like helping the soldiers of ISIS.
Islamic Relief Worldwide? ROTFL! You’ve got to be kidding me. Only in America with dollars stolen from American workers.
The lack of response from the Republican leaders is what I find most irritating. Then these sorry bastards will expect support from us when election time comes around! And idiotic FReepers will support them!
After 150, billion to Iran....who’s latest chant is MISSILES FIRST
Obama funding his Red Guard organizations
DAMMIT~!
DAMMIT~!
DAMMIT~!DAMMIT~!
WOW they must of ‘bought’ a lot of ‘speeches’ from our corrupt members of Congress.
If he were an American, this would be treason.
This is just the beginning. Between now and the time Omama leaves office it’s only going to get worse.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots, we need to quit picking on Obama.
More specifically, consider that the Founding States gave the “power of the purse” uniquely to the House of Representatives (HoR) as evidenced by the Constitution’s Clause 1 of Section 7 of Article I.
So what we’re seeing with “Obama” giving funding to religious groups is corrupt lawmakers using last-term Obama as a political pawn, allowing Obama to front-end unconstitutional congressional funding to religious groups so that corrupt lawmakers can keep their voting records clean.
And by keeping their voting record clean, corrupt lawmakers are able to fool low-information patriots into reelecting them.
Remember in November !
So if patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they will also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the president, including putting a stop to unconstitutional federal spending.
In fact, note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
And Congress which approves or disapproves ALL spending is silent.
Do you recommend not voting?
Generally I vote for the newcomer because I am always thoroughly disgusted with the incumbent. I never contribute cash to political pacs or representatives either because they have no intention of thinking what we little people need or desire.
It amazes me how FReepers get all wound up about candidates and then cuss at each other for a year prior to the election. I may like someone such as Sarah or Trump but I never get infatuated with them. They are just people with the same weaknesses that you and I have. Why get all sad and disappointed when they don’t turn out to be the shining star you initially hoped they were?
Agree. Most freepers think we can send good men and women to corrupt institutions with the expectation that they will reform the institutions. Not gonna happen. In time, almost all will conform to corrupt ways. It is human nature.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
