The New York Post confirmed Saturday what Breitbart News and others had reported earlier this year: that the Biden Cancer Initiative, founded by former Vice President Joe Biden, spent millions on staff salaries but did little about cancer research.(Snip)The cancer research non-profit that former Vice President Joe Biden created after leaving the Obama administration in 2017 spent two thirds of its money on staff, with top executives getting as much as six-figures, before shuttering.
The Washington Free Beacon reported on Thursday that the Biden Cancer Initiative directed 65 percent of its total expenditures to staff compensation between 2017 and 2018. Overall, the group raised $4.8 million during the those two years,

Hussein tasked Biden with curing cancer. He failed.

The “Art of the Grift.”
Do y’all agree that almost all of the downward spiral of the nation’s morals and characters started with Felonia von Pantsuit.?
I think histoire will show that her and Horndog’s activities and greasy manner of no accountability is at the heart of our decline.
Just my opinion.
(Unless you want to go back to Sleepy Fraud and his character assassination of Judge Bork.)

I wonder what percentage of salary the staff had to pledge to "the Big Guy"?

Isn't that pretty much how all "charities" work (cough, cough, Clinton Foundation ... cough, cough United Way)?

No one is ever stopping them. That's called the deep swamp and why the dems and RINOs are terrified of another Trump presidency. Shows Biden's total lack of character to swindle people out of their money. They probably gave more because of the son dying of cancer.

Joe has had a talent for using any resources that happened to be around him… If he pulled off this government program, why was the family initiative even needed? Answer: It wasn’t.

Following the breadcrumbs, I found this article on the Biden Cancer Initiative:
http://www.jons-online.com/issues/2019/march-2019-vol-10-no-3/2324-the-biden-cancer-initiative
In establishing the Biden Cancer Initiative, Vice President Biden and Dr Jill Biden strengthened their commitment to bring together all stakeholders in the oncology space to reimagine how the government, academia, nonprofits, and the private sector can better organize their resources to improve cancer care. The initiative works closely with patients and patient organizations, cancer researchers, cancer centers, research universities, governments, private and philanthropic sectors, and organizations including the Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators to identify and address the critical issues in cancer prevention, research, and care to drive new actions and collaborations to find cures.
It appears that Joe and Jilly cleverly spun this private initiative off of the Cancer Moonshot program Obama and Biden managed to put in. (Have you ever heard of anything about that? I haven’t.)
There are Biden scams they’ll be discovering decades from now, buried under rocks - or on the internet? - here, there and everywhere...

Don’t feel bad for the contributors. They know this is a money laundering game. The contributions were a means to an end.

Just like the Clinton foundation, used as a way to keep paying Biden’s political machine functionaries when the Democrats are out of political power. In the old days before the outright existence of legal and political double standards, such a bogus entity would have been considered to be a fraudulent scheme.

I should have read a little further (re #9). Here is why the Biden Cancer Initiative was spun off of Biden’s big deal Moonshot program during the Obama administration. Biden may be old, but he has had a nose for the opportunities, the Main Chance, and I’ll just bet that little Jilly was right there picking up on anything he might have missed. I believe she is as avaricious as all get out.
Mr Simon: The point of the Biden Cancer Initiative is not to fund projects, interfere with regulatory decisions, or to lobby. We do not give grants, we do not touch patient data, we are not a silo of genomic information. Instead, we’re looking for efficiencies that can be implemented and addressing cultural issues that might be slowing us down— the brakes we are leaving on while we drive the car, so to speak. Our goal is to work with the different organizations to figure out how they can double what they’re doing. When problems arise, we’ll address it by assessing solutions that already exist. We want to enrich the possibilities to scale a ubiquitous solution to a local solution.
We focus on creating the solutions to the problems that we know already exist, elevating collaborations and new efforts that improve patient outcomes and save lives.
Gobbledygook from the guy who headed up Moonshot; then switcherooed over to the Biden Cancer Initiative when Biden left office in 2017. My two bits say a lot of that salary/benefit money went to this guy. Instead of “Let’s Make a Deal” they were into “Let’s Make A(nother) Scam”...

Eric Schmidt, the Google/Alphabet billionaire is a big backer of Obama because, as he said on TV, Obama 'believed in research.' So here's Joe setting up a cancer foundation, and doing no research. Now you would think Obama, who's big on research, would have schooled Joe about research while he was mentoring him for 8 years.

Number three I read your post and you stated Bidens son died from Cancer and this is how he ran his foundation, the thought that entered my mind was that Bidens son died and his other son screwed his widow and molested her child. Like father, like son. No morals whatsoever.

But wait…there’s more:
(Reuters) - The Biden Cancer Initiative, a non-profit organization started by former Vice President Joe Biden to support cancer prevention and research, said on Monday it suspended operations last week, two and a half months after Biden and his wife resigned from the group to focus on his presidential campaign.

#13 - that word-salad is about as informationally nutritious as a kid in a outlet candy store with a bucketful of gumballs, suckers and jellybeans. Very colorful and pretty, lots of 'em, but entirely meaningless.

There are hospital and university cancer research centers all across the country.
How does it happen that the Biden "Initiative" collected millions of dollars, but none of it was used for research?
Where has the MSM been, and why are we just now hearing about this scam?

Excellent find, #13. And I'll bet that 10-20% of the salary of the head slug is kicked back to Traitor Joe.
