Taking it with a grain of salt.

BTW, who formed that free wordpress website? (NRAINDANGER)
I can't find any name or face associated with it.

That's the problem with the internet nowadays.
Anybody can write whatever they want and people will believe what they want.

Although the NRA does spend some money on stuff like education, legislation, buildings/properties, etc...Like many org's I also assume they over spend on other areas like parties, gifts, payroll, etc...

IIRC if we compare this to the Clinton Foundation, only about 10% of donations went toward causes. Most went on overhead.  Maxine Waters Foundation, 75% went to payroll, which her sister made $100K a year as the Marketing Director, even though no one has ever seen her.  Don't even get me started on BLM donations.

There is a website that you can look at that keeps track of stuff like this for various non-profits.  Last I checked many years ago, Aloha United Way also had high overhead cost. Which is why I didn't donate to them.  Some years ago, Wounded Warrior Project got bad press for spending plenty on open bars at events and stuff.

For org's, certain limits to spend money on stuff is fine, but where does 1 draw the line. WWP spent $40K on an open bar for 1 event. Now did this help with more donations or could this have been spent better on wounded warriors.  Or was this spent on hosting the warriors?  I have a friend who gets invited to stuff for them. On-line, many write how WWP doesn't help them.  So I asked my friend about it. He said "you're either in the hale or not".  And I understand.  Bascially, non-profits cannot help everyone that ask them for help.

If they have to use a free website, they should start a GoFUNDMe to upgrade to a better option.   :rofl:

ABOUT:
Quote
We are a group of NRA members, all life or above, who are concerned about where
our organization is being taken. In 2019, the 150 year-old NRA, the oldest civil rights
organization in the country, was rocked by financial scandals. The New York Attorney
General (It’s a New York corporation) sued to dissolve its corporate charter, to kill it as
a corporation. Since then its leadership and Board of Directors has consistently made
the worst possible decisions, feeding her ammunition. A good move would have been
to announce it was concerned about the allegations, was going to seriously investigate,
and remove or otherwise punish those responsible. She’d have had no case then, yes
there were problems, and NRA’s board is curing them.

Instead, the choice was to purge those who supported an investigation, threaten any
who might join them, cover up everything, keep those responsible, and hand them big
bonuses. Members were told that nothing was wrong, her case was all lies and posed
no danger. Then the Board filed for bankruptcy, spending millions to escape from that
supposedly harmless suit.

The members deserve truth, and we will do our imperfect best to give it to them.

A "group" can be any number above 1 -- or exactly 1, if the writer has multiple personalities.  Maybe the writer just uses the pronouns "we/they/us"?


Hard to know if the writer is trustworthy when they don't post enough info to know who "they" are.  There should be more than a free Proton email address.

Side note:
Most people who routinely use major PHP-based content management software -- like WordPress -- knows you no longer have to use the old "NRAlifer -at- protonmail.com" format to trick bots so they don't scrape email addresses from your website. 

PHP websites generate pages on the fly -- there's nothing stored that can be scraped for emalis.  And the generated pages use a "stealth" feature to disguise any email addresses, just in case in case a more advanced bot shows up that tries to scrape pages generated on the fly.  The text generated by an email is garbage if you try to view the text of the page, but the software displaying the page understands the code and displays the email address properly for humans to read.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
