JESUS PARABLE AND WASTE, FRAUD: United Citizens Foundation in Las Vegas got three federal grants between 2023 and 2025 totaling more than $937,000 dollars. The Department of Justice Inspector-General audited the grants and found more than $360,000 that should be returned to the government. The foundation’s COO offered in an interview with The Washington Stand a strong dissent to the government’s claims.

But the problems pointed out by the government struck yours truly as the kinds of things grant applicants should be screened for prior to a decision on who gets the federal tax dollars. More evidence that a major part of the explanation for the massive waste, fraud and corruption problem in federal spending lies with incompetent management by federal administrators.
