The text of the CARES Act states that it was implemented to “provide emergency assistance and health care response for individuals, families, and businesses affected by the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.”
As Jason Rantz documents, Washington illegally imposed a racial test on recipients. Federal aid should really be conditioned on non-discriminatory application.
…to qualify to the Washington Equity Relief Fund, a group of “reviewers” made sure the nonprofits were “led by and serving Black, Indigenous and people of color.”…
A group of over 100 peer reviewers discussed and scored applications before doling out funding, in collaboration with the Department of Commerce.
The reviewers were “prioritized” on the basis of their race. About 95% identified as a racial minority and 77% experienced poverty. Ironically, the Department of Commerce had the reviewers, who were excluding nonprofits run by white people due to perceived privilege, go through compulsory “anti-bias” training.
Consider all of this to essentially be funding for Democrat organizers and campaign operations at taxpayer expense. That’s the case with much of the “community” non-profit sector that’s funded by city, state and federal funds.
But it gets worse.
Collective Justice, part of the Public Defenders Association, is a partisan, social justice group. It actively lobbies light-on-crime policies and is now being propped up by federal tax dollars.
The nonprofit is currently asking supporters to back a Democrat-sponsored bill forcing courts to ignore the juvenile crimes of adult defendants in sentencing. It received $25,000 in federal tax dollars through the state.
Also receiving funds: the Council on Islamic American Relations of Washington (CAIR-WA). It frequently engages in partisan political activism and has fundraised locally for anti-Semitic congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN).
The Bail Project Spokane received $50,000 from the fund. The nonprofit is part of the national group, which opposes cash bail. It has been responsible for paying the bail for criminals who commit high-profile crimes after release.
The more money the government spends, the worse things get. That’s a solid rule. And the coronavirus turned into a pretext for funding some of the worst of the worst. This is not how politicians sold the CARES Act, but it’s how Democrats implemented it.

I want to know….WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT????
mortimer says
Part of CHARITY (zakat) should go to JIHADISTS to promote Islamic EXPANSIONISM and TERRORISM.
Financing jihad from the money of the KAFIRS is normative in Islam and one of the clever methods of Mohammed. This operation by CAIR is ‘money-jihad’.
Terrorism is normative Islam, rather than an aberrations.
‘TURHIBUNNA’ (terrorize them) – Koran 8.60.

True, Mortimer.
And Muslims also regard this as Jizya–the money they are owed by Infidels.

CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Went to CAIR, Bail Fund for Criminals
…………….
Just appalling–but can anyone really be surprised?
Keith O says
Well Washington, how have you pissed away our taxes today?
PRCS says
Many religious organizations—NOT just CAIR—including Mega Churches received such monies intended for small businesses.
Andrew says
If the photo of that prick that runs CAIR holding a drawing of Muhammad then shouldnt he get a fatwa against him for showing it?…. Its get confusing…
Also if the NAACP has the word “Colored” in their title, and POC are also using the word “Color” in their self righteous title, why is it racist to use the words, “Colored folk” these days..
It truly is a clown world we live in today.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Andrew.
Keith Ellison could be in big trouble if the photo of him holding the mohammed cartoon is taken the wrong way.
And apparently only “people of color” can use the term color / colored…
Andrew says
This word confuses me, for instance if the NAACP can use the word “Colored” in their title and POC folks can use the word “Color” in their title, then why is it wrong for me, a white guy, to use the word when I refer to colored people when they are already calling themselves that…
I get more and more confusing as the years go by…
We hear about African Americans but never European Americans… why is that?.
gravenimage says
“Colored” in the name NAACP has been grandfathered in. Right now, “person of color” is fine but “colored” is not. And no–this makes little objective sense.
Chrissie01 says
Time to face the facts: whitey is a minority (8% of the global population) and persecuted and exploited. Sry, the truth.
