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.
🧵🧵🧵
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.
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.
$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?
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.
$728,747 to Florida International University to help understand the experiences of black students learning mathematics in a "hispanic-serving institution context."
Uh...okay.
Half a million for natural resource management...in Honduras.
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?

The anti-Trump, Jew-obsessed “right” is circulating a clip from 2023 (as the poster on the left shows) claiming that it’s Charlie Kirk’s last broadcast.
These people openly hated and attacked Charlie until yesterday. Now they’re using his murder to farm engagement—contemptible.
In the clip, Charlie criticizes left-wing Jews for their support of left-wing policies (as he should). In all other contexts, these types wouldn’t accept this as sufficiently anti-Semitic because such criticism is supported by rw American Jews and probably most Israelis.
It’s true that in the last year or so Charlie grew increasingly critical of US-Israel stuff. But from what I saw, he did so carefully in a “tough love” manner. Why would Israel take him out and not a million other people actively working toward its downfall? It’s ridiculous.
Those confused as to why a leftist would choose to assassinate Charlie Kirk (vs someone more radical) reveal their own political ignorance. The left knows MAGA—not the delusional anti-MAGA rw fringe—is the primary/only threat to its hegemony. Material impact trumps edgelording.
People on here tend to focus on ideas, statements, positions, etc. The left, having a better understanding of both power and political reality, possesses a much deeper understanding of the material dimension of politics.
While many on the online right cry about Trump allegedly not doing enough, the left is watching with horror as the Trump administration unravels decades of race communism, rule by bureaucracy, mass immigration, etc. That’s why they assassinated Charlie Kirk and not RaceTemplar88.
In the 30s, American communists & sympathizers who visited the Soviet Union were so deluded that they were unaffected by the visible dysfunction.
Eugene Lyons, who lived in Russia at the time, wrote that Soviet tour guides quickly began wondering if all Americans were so stupid.
Lyons on why communism appealed to disaffected liberals: “It was a more respectable outlet for their cynicism, their economic frustrations, their nihilistic angers.”
Bolshevism was far easier to romanticize from a distance
NEW: ICE to reverse order exempting farms, hotels, and restaurants from immigration raids after learning that the White House didn’t support it.
So much for Trump doing amnesty!
Stephen Miller vs Brooke Rollins—Miller won, thank God.
“While we will expand efforts in sanctuary cities, President Trump remains committed to enforcing federal immigration law — anyone present in the United States illegally is at risk of deportation.”
