I am suspicious that climate change money is just a scheme to funnel money to leftist groups.

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, says the current "threat environment" is as high as he's ever seen it, and although the U.S. has "done a very good job" in preventing terror attacks in the U.S., he doesn't think the Obama administration "has done enough" to counter "homegrown violent extremism."
McCaul noted that President Obama's budget "allocates zero dollars towards combating homegrown violent extremism.
"In fact, within the Department of Homeland Security, more money, in fact, millions of dollars, are dedicated to climate change rather than combating what I consider to be one of the biggest threats to the homeland, and that's the violent extremists radicalizing Islamist terrorists -- radicalizing over the Internet, in the United States of America."
McCaul spoke to "Fox News Sunday" from France, where he was meeting with counterterrorism experts about stopping radicalized Islamists from returning to Europe and the West from Iraq and Syria.
"The big security gap we've discovered in our delegation over here, in traveling to the Middle East and now here, are the 40 million people going through Istanbul and Turkey, the lack of screening of individuals leaving Turkey to Europe. And then, Chris, the lack of ability to screen European citizens past a watch list similar to what we have, or a no-fly list.
"This really opens Europe wide open to foreign fighters who can travel from the Middle East, and particularly through Turkey, which is the jihadist super-highway, into Western Europe. And so, what we're trying to do is meet with these officials to see, how can we close these security gaps so we can keep these foreign fighters both out of Europe and also the United States?"

The sad thing is, I find this claim completely believable.
Classic GOP. Rubberstamp the budget then whine about how the money is spent.
I am suspicious that climate change money is just a scheme to funnel money to leftist groups.
And the Republican House of Representatives is... where?
Where does the 'allocated money' for climate change go......? Who is getting rich on this faux problem? Fire the sob's all of them....getting rich of gullible idiots ought to be a crime. Is Michelle and her cronies on that list as some were on the obamacare computer hoax......
You don’t say?......................
The RATS employed at DHS could care less what they spend their day doing, as long as those $50-80K .gov jobs are safe.
Busybodies who couldn’t qualify for LEO or Mil positions.

This McCaul character is the man to whom FNC personalities have sometimes referred as “former ambassador to Russia, Mike McCaul.”
Wrong, wrong, wrong. He’s a former federal prosecutor, never an ambassador.
I wish Fox could get their Mikes straight. The former ambassador is Mike McFaul.
The leftist government is far more eager to persecute and prosecute so called “climate deniers” than they are willing to question the loyalties of radical Islamic deniers.
Well, let’s define “homegrown violent extremism”. Will this include our “ISIS” sleeper cells, and black islamofascists like Farrakhan and Nation of Islam, and not single out,
via Napolitano era policy paper identifying “Christian identity movement” etc as being of equal concern? Doubt it— it is as politicized as the IRS targeting of any and all conservative groups for denial of 501(c)3 status and,, and auditing of the applicants.
This is why elections are important.
“although the U.S. has “done a very good job” in preventing terror attacks in the U.S.”
Well that’s as far as I got.
Whatever happened to acid rain? Remember when we were all in a tizzy over that?
