DOGE says 239 contracts canceled over 2 days, including a grant to teach trans farmers about 'food justice'
Fox News ^ | 3/13/25 | Louis Casiano

Over a two-day period, 239 "wasteful" contracts with a "ceiling value" of $1.7 billion have been terminated, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said Thursday, including a grant intended to teach transgender and queer urban farmers about "food justice."

The elimination of the contracts represents a savings of $400 million, according to a DOGE tweet posted on X.

Among them included an $8.5 million consulting contract for "fiscal stewardship to improve management and program operations in order to drive innovation and improve efficiency and effectiveness of business services; rethink, realign and reskill the workforce; and enhance program delivery through a number of transformational initiatives."

On Tuesday, DOGE announced the National Institutes of Health canceled multiple federal grants related to trans and sexual identity. Those include $699,000 for studying "cannabis use" among "sexual minority gender diverse individuals" and $620,000 for "an LGB+ inclusive teen pregnancy prevention program for transgender boys," DOGE said.

Another included $225,000 in federal funds for the University of Colorado to study the "effects of hormones on headaches in transmasculine adolescents."

On Wednesday, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins noted that a $379,000 U.S. Department of Agriculture grant in the San Francisco Bay Area to educate queer, trans and BIPOC urban farmers and consumers about food justice and values-aligned markets had been canceled.

Once again......

WE WILL NOT participate in their delusions. Including this one.
They really need to read and BELIEVE the Scriptures.

The Days of Lot are upon the world - just as prophesied

And Sudden Destruction is
prophesied for the Days of Lot


Even thus shall it be
in the Day when the
Son of Man is revealed...

Someone majored in technical writing and minored in bullshoit. Or vise versa.

Not only is the Democrat world batship crazy, it is far far crazier than any normal
American could imagine. Not even in a fever dream could such things be conjured up.

Zero them out. Zero all of them out. And drive a stake through its heart.

Well, at the moment, it’s an injustice that I don’t have a pepperoni, Italian sausage and red onion wood-fired pizza.

I remember essays in college tests… spew a lot of word salad and that student received the highest mark. Nothing has changed. Of course they use same skills when they write a grant proposal to gov programs!

Did Kamala write this?

...an LGB+ inclusive teen pregnancy prevention program for transgender boys...

That one seems to have worked. I don't remember the last time I saw a teenage boy with a baby bump.

Grift and graft. Stop trying to make sense of the name on the contracts. This is plain theft. Follow the money and it should be easy to nab the culprits.

That description must have cost $8.5 million all by itself.

Now I understand why pelozi needed to install a bar. While they get drunk, they have contests of who can come up with the craziest nonsensical grants.

Pregnancy in transgender boys...hmmm

So a young girl thinks she is a boy and transitions, but boys are naturally attracted to girls and vice versa.

This newly transitioned girl to boy must still be attracted to boys. But the boys that are attracted to other boys are not attracted to girls and engage in oral and anal sex to fulfill their sexual desires.

So how is this person getting pregnant? If they are still attracted to heterosexual boys and engaging in sex, which can lead to pregnancy, then the entire process to transition is nothing more than a mental fantasy as their natural bodily functions are still dominating that portion of their brain that controls sexual behavior?

What am I missing?
