Tides Foundation ā also funded by Democratic mega-donor George Soros ā is a network that operates as a fiscal sponsor for groups that have not registered with the IRS as charities.

So far, the Obama Foundation has spent over $615 million to build the Obama Presidential Center, and has shelled out another $27 million in salaries, including over $750,000 in 2023 to longtime Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett.
Commentary:
The architect must have stolen the building plans of the building from a low budget dystopian flick.
Similarly, we have also seen that Communists like brutalist ugly architecture. Not everything built by them is awful but enough was and is. One example of good is the Moscow subway which puts to shame almost every other one in the world.
Obamaās isnāt even a real presidential library.
- Itās NOT run by the National Archives;
- It wonāt hold the original documents of the Obama administration;
- Itās his private propaganda palace masquerading as public history;
- The āObama Foundationā gets full control of the narrative;
- and of course, you still get the bill.
Actually the Obama āLibrary looks medieval and more like a maximum security prison. Lock him up!
Where's Gordon Lloyd when he's needed most.
Unfortunately, we are finding that in the world of Democrat Socialist Marxism everythingās a scam, especially with Obama. Can anyone name even one thing Democrats haven't used as a scam?
I hope when all the dust settles Trumpās evens the score against him. That would be the cherry on top of the cake of Trumpās presidency.
Time for a DoJ deep RICO investigation into the Obama Foundation and Tides Foundation connections.
