After the wildfires of California earlier this year, leaders in the state joined with a number of Hollywood celebrities and famous musicians and did a fundraiser event called \u2018FireAid\u2019 that managed to raise $100 million which they claimed would go directly to the victims.<\/p>\n

Several weeks ago, an independent journalist did a deep dive into the funds and found that none of the victims had seen a dime of the money.<\/a> Based on her research, she found that the money had gone to a number of non-profit organizations.<\/p>\n

Now, the Washington Free Beacon<\/em> has done an even deeper dive into the issue and it looks even worse. Some of the non-profits that received this money have absolutely nothing to do with the issue of fire recovery or even base their assistance on race.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

From the Free Beacon:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

FireAid announced in February that it would distribute the money it raised \u201cequitably,\u201d a promise it appears to have kept. Greenline Housing Foundation, for instance, received funds from a $4.8 million pool dedicated to health and housing. It noted on its website that no whites need apply.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to qualify for a grant through Greenline Housing Foundation, applicants must be a Black or Hispanic person,\u201d the group stated\u2026<\/p>\n

The same is true for the Black Freedom Fund, a Black Lives Matter-era nonprofit dedicated to fighting \u201csystemic racism\u201d and promoting \u201cBlack power-building.\u201d The organization\u2014which received money from a $7.6 million pool dedicated to \u201cdisaster relief\u201d\u2014stated in a 2023 grant proposal document that it would only assist groups \u201cled and controlled by Black people\u201d and \u201cprimarily serving Black people.\u201d<\/p>\n

My Tribe Rise, which also received cash from that pool, has a similar mission. Founded in 2019, the organization states that its mission is \u201cto take the stigma out of gangs and to educate people about the positive changes that are possible when people come together to end violence and meet the needs of Black and Brown communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other groups that have received money through FireAid offer assistance to illegal aliens within California. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is disgraceful, and it\u2019s also why Gavin Newsom would rather spend his time trolling Trump on Twitter\/X, because that gives the media something to talk about regarding Newsom without having to address this scandal.<\/p>\n

It really looks like FireAid was nothing more than a progressive scam on the donors to the event.<\/p>\n
