Tiberius Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Quote The National Rifle Association is in a multi-million dollar legal firefight with one of its own: Ackerman McQueen, the Oklahoma-based advertising firm behind NRATV. The NRA portrays itself as an unwitting dupe in the April 12 lawsuit, alleging that its 40-year partner swindled it through contracts that allowed the ad firm to charge virtually unlimited expenses and potentially permitted current NRA president Oliver North to double-dip into the group’s finances. The New Yorker followed up with a detailed report into the layers of mutual self-dealing between the NRA and Ackerman that have pushed it to the financial brink. According to the report, the gun lobbying giant is on the verge of insolvency after hundreds of millions of dollars flowed from gun owners’ memberships and donations into the pockets of NRA and Ackerman execs. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/nra-lawsuit-new-financial-troubles-wayne-lapierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Just a scam like Trump University https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/14/us/nra-finances-executives-board-members.html?rref=collection%2Fbyline%2Fdanny-hakim&action=click&contentCollection=undefined®ion=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=collection The tantalizing leaks have spilled out in the weeks since the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in Indianapolis devolved into civil war. Amid anxiety over falling revenue and mounting legal trouble has come news that the gun group’s longtime chief executive, Wayne LaPierre, billed $275,000 for purchases at the Zegna luxury men’s wear boutique in Beverly Hills. Its largely ceremonial president, Oliver L. North, had a contract worth millions of dollars a year. And a litany of payments benefited prominent officials, like the $60,000 for advertising on a TV show featuring the rock musician and N.R.A. board member Ted Nugent. But behind the internecine squabbling lie deeper financial problems. A review of tax records by The New York Times shows that, to steady its finances, the powerful lobbying group has increasingly relied on cash infusions and other transactions involving its affiliated foundation — at least $206 million worth since 2010. The role of the foundation is among the issues being examined in a new investigation into the N.R.A.’s tax-exempt status by the New York attorney general, Letitia James. The N.R.A. and the charity received separate letters last month from Ms. James’s office ordering them to preserve pertinent records, according to several people who had seen them.

Tommy Callahan Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) It was a loveley day in the southern tier. My father and i went to the south end of seneca lake to fish for pike. They were hitting any spoon thrown. Had several under 30 inch pike taken with a red and white devil. But switched over to a larger silver and blue little cleo. Wow. Several taken over 35 inches. Good times. This thread/narrative. didnt deserve a valid reply. Edited May 19, 2019 by Chris farley 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
