Biden’s Lame Duck Gravy Train For ‘Environmental Justice’ Activists Pours Cash Into Anti-Police, Pro-DEI Groups
Daily Caller ^ | 13 Dec 2024 | Nick Pope

Posted on 12/14/2024 1:39:50 AM PST by blueplum

The Biden administration announced Thursday that it is routing nearly $1.6 billion in taxpayer funds for awardees to pursue “environmental justice,” with an array of left-wing activist groups among the awardees.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is administering the funding, which will benefit 105 applicants around the country aiming “to advance local, on-the-ground projects that reduce pollution, increase community climate resilience, and build community capacity.” While some universities and municipal governments are among the EPA’s recipients, so too are left-wing activist groups...

The EPA’s $1.6 billion “environmental justice” blowout follows the agency’s Wednesday announcement that it is moving to spend $735 million in taxpayer funds to facilitate the adoption of zero-emissions heavy-duty vehicles around the country....

This is a drop in the bucket. The Biden admin is rushing tens and tens of billions out the door to fund their donors projects and bs NGO projects. Funding provided by the “Inflation Reduction Act” which has 369 billion worth of “Green New Deal” idiotic AOC style spending

Done before January 20th and Trump taking power.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 includes approximately $369 billion in climate and clean energy investments, which is often compared to “Green New Deal” style spending14. The IRA represents the largest federal investment in addressing climate change in U.S. history1.

Key points about the IRA’s climate and energy spending:
Initial estimates vs. current projections:

Original estimate: $369 billion over 10 years4
Current projections: $800 billion to $1.2 trillion over 10 years, due to uncapped nature of some tax credits4

Where is Mike Johnson? No Congressional oversight? How does Biden have access to unlimited billions of dollars for what ever tickles his fancy? Tyrant. Congress is supposed to control the purse strings.

These are Kevin McCarthy Pork Grants. That “steal deal” he did will hopefully be the very last one done this century. He was hired to stop the madness and he failed miserably at his job.

“Time for the DOGE Brothers to eliminate Nixon’s EPA.”

EPA did tons of cleanups that were necessary. Cleaned up rivers and hazardous waste site left by American industries that are all in China these days. So now polluting China.

Job well done EPA, but they are done! They should have been dissolved 20 years ago.
This is why they are hard pimping climate nonsense and CO2 as a pollutant. In order to keep their fat-arse Federale paychecks

“increase community climate resilience, and build community capacity.”
This isn’t Nixon’s EPA anymore. This money will simply go into the pockets of leftist agitators who will spend it on food clothing, and shelter as they would with any welfare check or paycheck. But the leftists will not have to lift a finger to receive the money. There are no “deliverables”. The money will disappear and the taxpayers will receive nothing in return. Let this sink in. The money is a literal gift to leftist-connected idiots. What would they say if Trump gave $2 billion to right wing groups to study the effects of DEI on workplace efficiency? And the study did not have to produce any tangible output or product (let ChatGPT run for an hour, print out the results, and receive $2 billion.) I wish I knew how to get in on this type of scam instead of working 60 hours a week.

“This money will simply go into the pockets of leftist agitators who will spend it on food clothing, and shelter as they would with any welfare check or paycheck.”

That kind of spending makes it ripe for a qui tam investigation, which would claw back every penny spent. It could also open up the NGO to criminal charges.
