During the previous administration, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded the following grants to spend taxpayer dollars, all of which have been cancelled ($163M in overall savings). NEH grants will be merit-based and awarded to non-DEI, pro-America causes:- $350k for interactive gay travel guides to better understand historical LGBTQ+ spaces
- $350k to create a Spanish version of http://Homosauras.org (https://en.homosaurus.org)
- $247k to digitize stories of transgender adults in the Pacific Northwest
- $75k to examine the relationship between internet live streaming and LGBTQ+ communities
- $60k to research how LGBTQ+ cartoonists innovated comics in the 1980s & 1990s
- $150k for excavation of Egypt's first industrial-scale breweryMay 20, 2025 · 45.8K Views
How did this nonsense ever get into a budget bill? Who wrote this and who was responsible for inserting this into a budget bill? Lastly, who knew is was included, and did anyone object?
Each one was just a made up title to get the dollars out and back into RAT campaign slush funds.
Excellent questions, all.
Let’s hope we found out who that was, and soon.

We should've kept that one...
Sounds more like the National Endowment of Degeneracy. Zero the budget and shut ‘er down.
A drop in the ocean.
Answer, it as inserted by some aide or some DemocRat congress crittter and probably only a few knew it because it was buried in a 3000 page omnibus bill.
True, but why can we never know who inserted it and why these thousand page bills that no one reads?
The uniparty does not want to cut spending and balance the budget—simple as that. The swamp gas in DC infects everyone.....
And every year the cry was for us to Raise taxes! Raise taxes! When all the while it was just a silly spending problem. Who knew? /s
Delete the entire “National Endowment for The Humanities”.
Such efforts, if truly morally for “the humanities”, they are best done by private endowments that do not get any government backing.
This was all over in the two or three giant “omnibus” $1 trillion plus bills Biden got passed.
A brewery in Egypt?
WTF?

Lol…yeah!
