    Trump issued a temporary freeze on federal grant payments today. This is a necessary move, as many of these of these grants are used to fund ridiculous left-wing projects – many not even in America! Let's take a look at some of them. 🧵🧵🧵

  2. #2

    In 2021, the Biden administration gave $540,000 to "Transgender Equity Consulting, Inc." This firm is comprised of "six black and Latinx transgender and nonbinary individuals" – one whom is apparently the "first BBW trans porn star." Alright then.

  3. #3

    The Biden admin issued $850,000 in federal grants to a left-wing organization's "LGBTQI+ family support program," which some have characterized as promoting gender ideology for the children of military families.

    Over half a million to support "behavioral health for the transgender community in Hawaii." Thanks, Biden.

  5. #5

    $1.2 million to the New Orleans Community Support Foundation to "adopt a holistic, adaptive water management vision that centers the leadership of black, indigenous, and people of color communities." Water management benefits from having non-white people in charge. Who knew?

  6. #6

    Over $600,000 to UC Irvine to "influence" social media networks to try to get black and "Latinx" (really hate this word btw) people to accept vaccines.

  7. #7

    $728,747 to Florida International University to help understand the experiences of black students learning mathematics in a "hispanic-serving institution context." Uh...okay.

  8. #8

    Half a million for natural resource management...in Honduras.

  9. #9

    But all of the above, combined, amounts to a drop in the bucket when compared to how much money is going to pro-migration stuff. Example: Over $278 MILLION to Catholic Charities of Fort Worth for "refugee cash and medical assistance." Absolutely infuriating!

    This post estimates that over $600 million is going to refugee/migrant programs (not sure of the time period):

    This is really just the tip of the iceberg. But as you can see, the federal government funds both state entities and NGOs involved in various left-wing activities. Trump is absolutely right to freeze this funding.

    This current freeze is temporary. These programs need to be GUTTED, permanently, otherwise business will continue as usual. Moreover, the Trump admin should considering funding conservative causes with this grant money...we want to win, right?
