Biden-Harris Admin Routed ‘Environmental Justice’ Cash To Left-Wing Activists, House Report Details
The Daily Caller ^ | 04 Nov 2024 | Nick Pope

Posted on 11/05/2024 1:01:44 AM PST by blueplum

The House Energy and Commerce Committee released a new report Monday detailing how the Biden-Harris administration has given huge amounts of taxpayer cash to left-wing activist groups under the guise of “environmental justice.”

The report highlights how the Biden-Harris Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) used hundreds of millions of dollars from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) — President Joe Biden’s signature climate bill — to line the pockets of left-wing activist groups... arguably “akin to a taxpayer-funded lobbying operation,” the lawmakers argue in the report....

"...As part of its radical rush-to-green agenda, the administration gave hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to activists who also engage in political activities,” Republican Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington, Morgan Griffith of Virginia and Buddy Carter of Georgia said in a joint statement. “....It couldn’t be more clear: The Biden-Harris administration rewards its environmental special interests at the expense of the American people. ... Equally as alarming is how these policies benefit the Chinese Communist Party — the world’s worst polluter.”

Recall that Obama/Holder blackmailed banks into paying fines and routed the money to left wing groups as well. It’s disgusting that taxpayers and stock holders fund the left. Lenin said that capitalists will sell communists the rope that they will use to hang them with.

Again affirming my premise that money in politics is not the problem. The real problem is money in government.

Democrats see tax payer money as their private slush fund...

And then it is laundered back into the party via mass quantities of small donations on Act Blue.

All spending bills being in the House of Representatives. The House is controlled by the Republican Party. Republicans vote to send billions to left wing social justice groups. Why?

The supid RINOs in Congress did not read the so-called Inflation Reduction Act bill, because right in the bill it not only gave a legal green light to handing out money to “green” NGS, it mandated it. It is now in the law in language spelling out required operations of all federal agencies. The bureaucrats continued activities like that have the law behind them. Not only are all kinds “green” mandates in there, there are DEI mandates as well.

The only cure is we have to actually repeal the Inflation Reduction Act.

In this case, Republicans didn’t pass the green deal. Kamala’s vote broke the senate tie. However they did pass the useless infrastructure spending. Manchin got suckered on that one. The omnibus spending bills are a disaster. I would prefer the government shutdown.

How utterly disheartening it is to have seen the American people elect as their president the most despicable egg sucker to ever pop up on planet earth!

Then there’s an entire cabinet of lousy, evil degenerates to rule over and ruin our lives and everything we’ve worked for!

Then there’s another piece of human debris that the panel picked as the moron’s vice-president.

The entire Obama-Biden regime is the evilest event to ever foist itself on the American scene.

Perhaps it’s punishment of Biblical proportions for allowing events to transpire that are much worse than taking a bite out of an apple!

Homosexuality, abortion, debauchery, pornography, adultery and a truck load of other sins and offences against decent humanity and God.

Perhaps with Trump will come redemption.
