Primary Funding Sources & BackersFinancial Profile
- The Mercer Family: The hedge-fund billionaire Robert Mercer and his daughter, Rebekah Mercer (who has served as the board chair), have historically been among the largest financial backers of the organization.
- DonorsTrust: The institute receives funding via DonorsTrust, a donor-advised fund that funnels contributions from anonymous right-of-center mega-donors.
- Other Philanthropic Groups: The organization's historical financial disclosures show grants from conservative foundations such as the Capital Research Center.
- Operating Budget: GAI typically operates on an annual budget in the low single-digit millions (averaging around $2 million to $4 million, though its revenue fluctuates depending on book and project releases).
- Tax Records: As a registered tax-exempt entity, the institute files Form 990 disclosures with the IRS, which can be reviewed on platforms like the ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer.

New York’s Mayor Mamdani touts a massive taxpayer-funded investment for Transgender healthcare:
The New Yorkers voted for the imbecile now they can suffer for it
The mayor's campaign website had promised $65M for gender-affirming care across public hospitals and clinics
In particular, Mamdani doubled down on promises of $15 million in funding for trans communities.
As part of the Pride Month celebration on Tuesday evening, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani touted the work his administration has done to expand services for LGBTQ+ communities, calling New York City a "haven" for people with alternative gender identities.
Well done New Yorkers. You Voted For It, Now you will pay for the ‘Sanctuary Freak Show” that’s enabling “people with alternative gender identities.
Put simply, he will let New Yorkers ROT while he dumps 65 million they don't have to spend in treatments for “mentally ill” people to legitimize their illness not as illness, but as a choice. Then half those people will Murder and Other Crimes or Suicide Themselves later in life, while the other half makes sure to spend yet more on Trannies so half the city ends up like that.
How Can Anyone Defend Transgender Sports After This?
A Transgendered male sexually assaults a female during a wrestling match
This MALE, identifying as a Female, was allowed to compete on the girls’ wrestling team, and so what does he do? He sexually assaults his female opponent, causing her great pain and causing her to scream out to her mother during the assault.
Hes lucky that it want my daughter because I woulld have been in his face in seconds.
He should be charged with Sexual Assault and put in prison for at least 3 Years.
They need to Press Charges then Sue the Fake Woman Pervert
The Iranian Regime will never tell the truth, they never did, and never will. They are only looking for more time to complete their Dirty Work. It’s Time to destroy the Iranian Regime, the Mullah's, and the entire Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
It was truly is a sickening freak show when Jo Biden was the President but D.C. is usually nothing more than a circus anyway . So I guess that's just the way it was with Joey and especially with the rest of his Family.
Radical Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett has officially launched an unhinged, deeply offensive assault on a grieving Texas family, using her digital platform to inject identity politics venom into a tragic high school murder case. Speaking on her podcast Clock It with Crockett, the polarizing Dallas area Congresswoman went entirely off the rails while attempting to run public relations for 19 year old convicted killer Karmelo Anthony, who was just sentenced to 35 years in prison for the brutal stabbing of 17 year old student athlete Austin Metcalf. In a jaw-dropping display of absolute cruelty, Crockett attempted to minimize the total devastation of the Metcalf family by declaring: "Black women live in fear and agony every single day. I promise you the Metcalfs have never spent a day living that way." The grotesque statement has triggered immediate, widespread condemnation from everyday patriots, who are appalled to see a sitting federal lawmaker claim a family that literally just lost their teenage son to a lethal knife attack doesn't understand the words “Very agony."
Les Carpenter has said
“Nothing, absolutely nothing surprises me anymore. What would suprize me is the Malignant Narcissist Moron in Cheif actually doing something ethical that actually benefitted the American people.”
Les is scum.
Thank you for once again for proving me absolutely correct, anymouse. Your inability to use the Grey matter between your ears is astonishingly evident in everything grunt you post.
Your slur, coming from the likes of you, ,(a total complete moron) can only be taken as a high compliment. So, thank you grunt boy.
You have a wonderful shitty trumpian day now, ya hear?
He'd be insulted, but I'm sure it’s hard to take a lecture on 'grey matter' from someone who can't figure out how commas work. Take a deep breath, proofread your next tantrum, and try again, Les.
President Trump says that the Iranian Deal gets signed tomorrow. Iran says, “Well, we’ll wait and see.” Congress knows nothing.about it at all, and the American public knows even less. What could possibly go wrong with a Nuclear Bomb situation?.
And what could possibly go wrong when a President Who Calls Iranians “Dishonorable” One Day, Then Claims A Will Be Made Deal On The Next Day?
When just twenty-four hours after publicly blasting the Iranian negotiators as “Dishonorable,” President Trump took to Truth Social to announce that a deal with Iran is set to be signed in a day or two, and possibly even over the weekend . The whiplash alone should make every American say “What the hell is going on”. When the Man who is the Head of the Nation, and is the Man in charge of these negotiations can go from Rage to Celebration overnight, the credibility of whatever emerges is already suspect before the ink even dries!
President Trump has already said that Iran “No longer wants a Nuclear Weapon” and under NO certain terms in his agreement is there “A Way toa Nuclear Weapon” in contrast to Obama’s Lousy Deal Those are bold words for a deal that, by Iran’s own admission, is not a final agreement but rather a “ Understanding” outlining the “general outlines of disputed issues.” That is sipply language we agreed to keep talking.
But is this the possibility of Iran’s Foreign Ministry Already Walking It Back? Let us remember that we all agreed the we can NOT TRUST any of these people!
And while President Trump was declaring victory on social media, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei was putting on the brakes at the Conference.
One side says signed tomorrow; the other side says not so fast. This is not how durable peace agreements work.
Iran has also made clear that they will not compromise on its “Red Lines,” and that the U.S. repeatedly shifted positions during the talks. These have the looks of a negotiation that is far from finished,
Remembering that Iran Has a Track Record of a Regime that Breaks Its Own Cease-fires, History, as well as our Congress will be watching to see if this house of cards holds true, or lives up to their repetition of having a history of Lying
While the Radical Lefteft Demonizes Elon Musk because he ‘s a Pal of President Trump’s , thanks to Elon Musk 4400 current and former SpaceX employee employees are Now Millionaires thanks to the historic IPO. How many Millionaires, or even ANY wealth creation can top Democrats claim? None, Zero!, The Democrats who are now Socialists only know how to redistribute the wealth of others.

Congratulations Elon.
The First Trillionaire and he is an American .
Elon Musk reportedly became the world's first trillionaire .
"I am the richest man ever without a care in the world, however, I once was a little worried after reading in the Bible that it was easier for a camel to through the eye of a needle than to enter the kingdom of God", said Elon, "Am I going to heaven or hell, who knows, so I just bought them both."
No word yet on whether Congress will make Elon pay property tax on the other worldly kingdoms, but our guess is that he will be doing exactly that in the very near future. However we did hear from both “Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders" . Elizabeth Warren was quoted as saying, "If he Elon is escaping hell, the least we can do is put him through hell while we still can."
Are you Democratic, Progressive, Socialist, Communists, really voting for that Guy with the Hitler Tattoo ?
After Mr. Shit For Brains has Demonized Our President and called him all thoseVile Nazi Names?
Democrats, have you decided to run that lying creep for political office, you know who I mean, the guy with the NAZI TATTOO . No worries as we are offering a service to put another tattoo right on over the NAZI one, The One We named this particular tattoo "Graham Platner's Kitty".
So this way you won’t have anything to be ashamed of. This is really funny, and also SO hilarious, that I’m laughing out loud
In fact I think that we should Re-name Graham Platner to “Graham Schickengruber Platner” it’s a good fit for a Democrat Party Nazi that is led by Barack Hussein Obama.
Imagine if it was discovered that Marco Rubio's middle name was Torquemada or Rudy Guiliani's middle name was “Mussolini”?
The Liberal Fake News would never let it go of it. .
The Democrat. Progressive, Communist on the Progressive Blog is very Clarify about calling every Republican a Nazi Except the guy with the NAZI TATTOO. Funny Isn’t it!
Taken under advisement with a chuckle!
Happy Birthday to our Fantastic President Trump . President Trump is celebrating his 80th birthday today, with an unprecedented Ultimate Fighting Championship event on the White House South Lawn.
The TRUEST THING THAT Has BEEN WRITTEN HERE TODAY IS
“LES IS SCUM”
Happily wishing the sorry ass vindictive human slime the most miserable birthday possible. May he choke on his Burger King Whopper.
America has suffered enough from his grift and corruption.
Minus: ...someone who can't figure out how commas work.
So, your conclusion is that LC thinks sometimes it's valid to write 2 comas in a row, and not that his comment contains a typo? You've written comments that contained typos. Why aren't you proofreading and submitting typo free comments 100 percent of the time? You don't care if people don't take you seriously? Why would that be the case? Is it because you're a completely unserious person? Because I can totally buy that about you.
Hey SHIT FOR BRAINS are you supporting the guy with a Nazi tattoos Gsahsm Platner for , the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Maine?
Neurological say that the way Joe zBiben walked, and Spoke is the most Commonly Missed Warning Sign Of Dementia
The huge influx of out-of-state agitators — some hailing from elite backgrounds — were arrested in Newark during the chaotic standoff with law enforcement outside the Delaney Hall migrant detention center, The Post has learned.
Out of the at least 12 anti-ICE rioters arrested last weekend for assaulting federal agents or smashing cars, four came from as far as Washington State, Colorado, Arizona and Illinois to wreak havoc on the Garden State, according to information from the Newark Police Department and arrest sheets reviewed by The Post.
Another was from Connecticut and five from New York — most of them recent transplants to the city.
Only three were from New Jersey, where the violent clashes have raged for three weeks since 300 detainees went on a hunger strike over what they claimed were inhumane conditions inside.
At least two have ties to one of the dark money groups clamoring to “shut down Delaney Hall” and “abolish ICE” since the unrest began, according to information from social media.
“There’s an organized effort to create anarchy. And Chaos
Unlike you, Derv, I refuse to take myself too seriously.
As the Joker often said, "Why so serious?"
Hanoi Jane Fonda is Lucky She’s Allowed into this Country
Do not Stop Hating JANE FONDA
Jane Fonda earned the "traitor" label from many Americans, especially military veterans, due to her highly controversial 1972 visit to North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Detractors dubbed her "Hanoi Jane" for posing on an anti-aircraft gun and broadcasting anti-war messages, viewing her actions as aiding the enemy
So, what you're saying is that I shouldn't believe you actually mean ANYTHING you write on this blog?
What I'm saying is, I don't care how you take it.
Trump says a deal has been reached to end the war between the U.S. and Iran to be signed on Friday .
U.S. stocks jump on Iran deal to end the war. President Trump Wins Again.
The sleazy malignant narcissist and Moron in Chief has won NOTHING. As you and your fellow cultists will soon realize.
And Jane Fonda was absolutely right about the fact we NEVER should have been in Vietnam and she is correct today.
But, for the fascist MAGA, Christian Nationalists, and Christian Zionists the truth does not matter. Only their delusions and loyalty to their illusions are true.
The only sleazy malignant narcissist and Moron is YOU Les!
THIS DEAL is much better than Obama's agreement in every way, But the leftist Useful Idiots will never admit it.
THE RADICAL LEFTIST CANT STAND THE PRESIDENT WINNING
Shit for Brains and his Puppy would rather see the USA lose then have Trump win
Yeah? So why would Les care that you pointed out his typo of two commas in a row? You seemed to think he would, given that you brought it up. It seems you thought it was a brilliant burn that would hurt his feelings bigly. Despite making typos yourself in the past. I doubt Les cares how you "take it" (what his typos meant, according to you).
The USA is losing because of trump. We can't win with a moron in charge, and that's a fact! I'd rather see the US win by getting rid of donald trump.
Oooooh, I'm really feeling the burn now. lol!
IM JUST WONDERING IF YOU CALLED THE PRESIDENT A “MORON” WHEN JOE BIDUMB WAS PRESIDENT?
No. Nobody ever named "Joe Bidumb" was ever president. A smart and competent man named Joe Biden was president though. I didn't call Joe Biden a moron. Why would I, when he is very smart?
Joe Biden? Who's that? Joe Bidumb was the 46th President. And he was actually a moronic loser like you, who can't even remember his actual name. JOSEPH Robinsquat Bidumb.
No "Joe Bidumb" ever existed, let alone served as president. If Joe Biden were president now America would be continuing on the path to recovery, as it was following the disastrous first term of donald trump, a moron whose stupidity made the consequences of the covid pandemic much worse then they should have been. But, instead of sticking with an administration that was fixing things, many morons decided their moron king should return. To resume and finish destroying the economy.
Exactly.
^^Doesn't grok sarcasm^^
The 2020 fraudulent election of Joe Bidumb was reversed by the voters on 2024. And for good reason.
