"The Biden administration used so-called 'climate equity' to justify handouts of billions of dollars to their far-left friends."

"It is my utmost priority to get a handle on every dollar that went out the door in this scheme and once again restore oversight and accountability over these funds. This rush job operation is riddled with conflicts of interest and corruption."

Said EPA administrator Lee Zeldin, quoted by Bari Weiss (at X).

Weiss writes: "The Department of Justice is investigating the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $27 billion program that was part of Joe Biden’s $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act. Created in the spring of 2023, and managed by the Environmental Protection Agency, the fund was supposed to be a 'first-of-its-kind' program to address the climate crisis while revitalizing communities that it considered 'historically left behind.' But it appears little of the $27 billion revitalized anything—except the coffers of a range of environmental nonprofits associated with former Obama and Biden administration officials.."

The never connected solar panels at Denver International Airport - have been removed.
Even the stumps that help the panels. The panels were real - but it not in use. NOT EVER IN USE.
The panels were installed during Obama's Solyndra era.

Government funding of science has corrupted science. You agree to the prevailing paradigm* and get funding, or you starve. Or put differently, nobody is getting major grants to do research to prove that the prevailing paradigm is nonsense.

*Used in the Thomas Khune sense of the word, not in the Steven Covey perversion of the word.

Biden also gave $28 million of your money to "Vaccine Company" ... which has its offices in a Post Office Box in Virginia and three different addresses listed with state officials for their location.

Biden's former Covid19 advisor runs the "company."

The Democrats just robbed the United States of America of $1.5 trillion dollars and our hapless Attorney General hasn't arrested a single one of them.

Sounds like the investigation may be headed toward the criminal. No wonder why Democrats were so petulant at the joint address. And why they wanted to convict Trump of something, anything while knowing this plunder was happening.

Steve ayon kay ...

What is that like 2.5%? That’s a pretty low number for graft in a federal program. DOGE should keep looking there’s almost certainly more.

When I was younger I dated a few times in DC. The "bragging" is a super common feature of that scene because politics is A) all they talk about and B) inside baseball is a better aphrodisiac than molly. I heard more about the inner workings of the Pentagon over drinks than I did actually being in the Pentagon.

27 billion? That's 2 aircraft carriers. Smug, self-righteous little pricks like the guy in the video sank 2 US aircraft carriers for our enemies.
China doesn't give rat's about the environment. How much environmental damage will be done by unchecked Chinese expansion? Good job mindless cult member.

I think this kind of thing was basically underway the entire 4 years of Biden's regime. They've been tearing the wiring out of the walls.

MadisonMan ayon kay ...

This is exactly why the Democratic Party is in trouble. They are mired in this corruption, and cannot come out and say that it's a good idea to look into it. So it looks to me like they're in favor of corruption. That's not sustainable.

RCOCEAN II ayon kay ...

The Democrat is not in "Trouble" they are a couple seats away from winning back the house and they have 47 senators. i'll bet they win back the house in 2026, just like they did in 2018. The long term demographics favor them. America, thanks to the beloved immigrants, is turning brown. And they vote D most of the time.

I think the Republicans are winning the battle on getting the American public to believe there's too much waste in government, and that something can constructively be done about it. It's only been a couple of months, and here we are. Once they start actually getting rid of it, they need to keep reminding us of who is responsible for it. Americans won't soon get tired of hearing about it if progress is being made.

As for 'turning brown', I think this argument is oversold. For Democrats, it's confirmation bias The kind of people that came here via open borders were expecting free rides, and often got them - and now many of them are headed back home, many self-deporting now that the gravy train has dried up. The kind of people that work for a living, don't expect free rides - and they resent Free Riders, too. I know plenty of them, personally. Weren't there some 'brown skin' demographic surprises in the last election? Let's see some trends: I bet they're Republican-friendly.

Imagine if we had a healthy journalistic sector that was interested in investigative reporting! DOGE is uncovering a lot of backscratching mutually beneficent, between Deep State and progressive Uniparty members, shell games. But no, the majority of the vast swarms of journalists are so imbued with Trump hatred that they cannot report an anything DOGE uncovers with anything other than derision, and only the victims of cost cutting can be shown, not the victims of the scams that enrich these people.

The Democrat is not in "Trouble" they are a couple seats away from winning back the house and they have 47 senators. i'll bet they win back the house in 2026, just like they did in 2018.

USAID was pumping out tens of billions of dollars to George Soros NGO tentacles in 2018, and much of it was surely coming straight back to Democrat Party coffers by way of the numerous small, obviously fraudulent "smurf" donations we are also uncovering. It would not surprise me in the least if we find that half or more of the Democrat Party's revenue is not comprised of legitimate donations from American citizens, but actual theft of taxpayer funds from the Treasury, laundered back to the Party by ActBlue. I also suspect that a lot of the smurf donations are foreign money, probably Chinese, likewise orchestrated and laundered by NGOs like ActBlue.

That gravy train is now derailed, though, and there are soon going to be some Democrat bigfoots in prison for it. They are going to be very short of funds in 2026, and well aware of the scrutiny they are now under. They are going to have trouble overcoming these financial constraints and duplicating their success in previous midterms.

The long term demographics favor them. America, thanks to the beloved immigrants, is turning brown. And they vote D most of the time.

That seems to be changing. The word "Latinx" by itself probably cost the Democrats 10% of the Hispanic vote in the last election.

Yancey Ward ayon kay ...

Like I wrote on a different forum yesterday, all of these NGOs suing to get their money taps from the U.S. government turned back on should be called to D.C. for a meeting with prosecutors and investigators and told, "You can have the money and the hammer- or you can walk away, you can't have both."

The U.S. government has become histories biggest grifting operation.

Hassayamper ayon kay ...

These endless chains of NGO's commingling and laundering government grants have got to go. Government shouldn't be funding any unaccountable private entity, but if they do, the amount of salaries and other overhead they skim off should be limited, and it should be forbidden to pass any money along to any other NGO. If they don't spend all their allotment on whatever program Congress appropriated it for, they can by God return it to the Treasury.

"The "bragging" is a super common feature of that scene..."

No kidding. I met a couple once at a party, who worked for the federal government in DC. All they could talk about was their work, and what kind of things they were doing. They looked like they were going to have orgasms right there in the living room.

"Non-governmental organization" should be up for discussion after that. How non-governmental are you, if you have to shut down when the government cuts off your funding?

It's kind of actually a really sad scene too, although it's probably way worse now than when I was there regularly. Tons of burnouts. Lots of cute nerdy girls (usually coming from money) that bought the "nerd prom" propaganda because they thought they were too smart for Hollywood only to become endless sidepieces on rotation for the same wealthy/powerful masculine archetypes that infest the NYC dating scene. Lots of loneliness and bitterness that causes some to end up leaving, and the ones that don't leave end up doubling down as a way to keep them psychologically sane in that cesspit.

I can't take complete credit for the observations above, much of which was explained to me by some of DC's own denizens that can't stop discoursing over drinks. Foreign intelligence assets have a field day in that town.
