In this week’s episode of Your Tax Dollars At Work, we bring you a nearly $100K grant handed out by the National Park Service (NPS) to U.C. Berkeley. You might be wondering what Berkeley is doing that involves parks, but it turns out not to really have anything to do with the grand spectacle of nature. It’s a grant to compile information intended to celebrate and “honor the legacy” of the Black Panther Party (BPP).
I’ll just let that sink in for a moment. Hey! Maybe this is something that Ben Shapiro can bring up tonight when he’s speaking there. The full details are over at the Washington Free Beacon.
The National Park Service is spending roughly $100,000 for a research project seeking to “honor the legacy” of the Marxist revolutionary group the Black Panther Party.
The University of California, Berkeley, which has recently been at the center of violent protests from far-left groups, is receiving funding for the project.
The National Park Service announced it was awarding the university a $97,999.70 grant for the project, outside of the normal competitive bidding process.
“This cooperative research project between the National Park Service (NPS) and the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) on the Black Panther Party (BPP) is anchored in historical methods, visual culture, and the preservation of sites and voices,” according to the funding announcement.
Are you kidding me? Reading through the rest of the grant description, it’s clear that they’re talking about a project which will, “document how the BPP impacted the visual arts, music, dance, and styles of the 1960s, 70s and 80s [and] will underscore the vastness of its impact on American culture.” Are we talking about the same Black Panther Party here or has the NPS confused them with that new superhero movie?
In case they need a quick reminder, let’s take a look at how the Federal Bureau of Investigation describes the BPP. (Emphasis added)
The Black Panther Party (BPP) is a black extremist organization founded in Oakland, California in 1966. It advocated the use of violence and guerilla tactics to overthrow the U.S. government. In 1969, the FBI’s Charlotte Field Office opened an investigative file on the BPP to track its militant activities, income, and expenses.
Here’s a quick tip for you. Any time your description of a group includes the phrase “advocates the use of violence to overthrow the U.S. government” there is no “but” that comes after. That’s pretty much a deal breaker.
Who exactly is in charge of the National Park Service? At the moment, the Acting Director of the NPS is Michael T. Reynolds. He’s an Obama holdover from 2016 so perhaps that explains part of it, but the NPS falls under the Interior Department. We’ve got Ryan Zinke in charge at the top. Was he made aware of this? And if not, shouldn’t it be brought to his attention? If nothing else, it’s a reminder that the President still needs to nominate a new Director for this organization.
The NPS employee that did this should be fired and if reinstated after legal action, be assigned to latrine repairs for the rest of her life.
Anybody wish to wager the political affiliation of the NPS employee that approved this boneheaded grant?
Militant black nationalist racists and cop killers.

Well there’s no Bannon at the White House and deep state Kelly is surely ignoring this. But, where is Ryan and McConnell? Absent as well.
All this stuff needs to come up against Trump - he’s becoming as out of touch with how much of the deep state is running on a Leftist autopilot as was GWBush.
EVERY action of EVERY federal agency MUST come up for review at the White House by someone whose mission is to stop the rot.
The deep state continues the destruction of America.
It’s obvious Ryan nd McConnell are anti-Trumpers.
Cut off all US dollar support to this “school” and let them find Marxist countries that will pay for their bull sh*t.
We can be sure they won’t memorialize all the murders, assaults, robberies, and tortures performed by this thug group.
Something the many aren’t aware of is that the Rev. Emmanuel Cleaver, former Mayor of Kansas City, and current Congressman from Jackson County is the cousin of Eldridge.
Now, that being said, I knew and got along with Emmanuel before he became congressman.
I would like it if Trump issued an EO, stating that all grants, by any department, need to be approved by a person designated by Trump.
It is the grant-issuing process which funds the Left.

“The BP were uncivilized murderous thugs. I cannot believe they are doing this.”
I can believe it. After all, we are talking about Bezerkley.
UC Bezerkely isn’t a school; It’s a terrorist training camp.
