Well, one thing is for sure. The Clinton Foundation has an abysmal record of actually using donated money for charity.

What do they use it for then?

Administration, travel, salaries, and bonuses. Good charities keep their expenses to about 75%. The Clinton Foundation had expenses around 90% in 2013. If you're counting pledges, it's closer to 94%.

Where was this reported?

The Clinton Foundation's tax return.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott already has asked the State Guard to monitor the training exercises, after officials faced worried residents at a packed town hall meeting.

This alone triggered accusations that the Republican governor is “pandering to idiots.”

On Monday, the governor defended his actions. “There was, frankly, an overreaction to the simple fact that someone has to be in charge with gathering and disseminating information,” said Abbott, speaking to reporters. “We stepped in to play that role, which is a role to be applauded.”

On Tuesday, Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert also released a lengthy statement saying his office has been “inundated” with calls on the matter.

“This military practice has some concerned that the U.S. Army is preparing for modern-day martial law,” he said. “Certainly, I can understand these concerns.”

At the same time, Gohmert said he understands why military officials want to test whether Special Forces groups can move around a civilian population and handle various threat scenarios.

Gohmert explained that his concerns stem from the way the military is approaching the exercise. He cited a widely circulated map which details the seven states that are part of the exercise – California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Texas. The map has Utah and Texas colored red and labels them “hostile.” It labels other states as “permissive,” leaning hostile” and “leaning friendly.”

Gohmert said he was “rather appalled” that the “hostile” areas “have a Republican majority, ‘cling to their guns and religion,’ and believe in the sanctity of the United States Constitution.”

He called this an “affront” to residents there and urged the military to change its approach and tone. “The map of the exercise needs to change, the names on the map need to change, and the tone of the exercise needs to be completely revamped so the federal government is not intentionally practicing war against its own states,” he said.

I'm not too far from the insurgent pocket. ROAD TRIP!!!

"Someone has to be in charge of spreading misinformation. We, the Texas government as usual, decided we would do this and then cause panic in the meantime amongst the conspiracy theorists waiting for the government to take them to the FEMA deathcamps. No Ragrets."

You forgot to finish with a "YEE-HAW!" and firing a revolver in the air.

I can't wait for martial law and FEMA camps. Hopefully they'll turn into some reality show for the world to watch.

Is the reality show based off of FFXIAH still in the works ?

We can combine the two and have the reality show based of FFXIAH members that are in Texas during the federal invasion. Watch how they survive during martial law and how they cope with living in FEMA camps.

We pretty much posted at the same time, but if you want to fire blanks at the Clinton foundation, go ahead, I really don't care. They can operate their business however they want, and there is no evidence of wrongdoing other than hopes and dreams.
