Under Biden, it was difficult to discern which cabinet member or agency head was the most incompetent and contemptible.
Under President Donald Trump, it will be challenging to discern who is the hardest-working and effective.
That being said, Lee Zeldin, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is definitely in the mix. The EPA is canceling 781 environmental justice grants, all awarded during the Biden administration.
This move, disclosed in a recent court filing, is nearly double the number previously reported and represents a sweeping rollback of funding intended to fund progressive activism, climate cult hysteria, and gin up racial division.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is in the process of canceling almost 800 grants, including all aimed at promoting environmental justice, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing comments by an agency official in a court filing.The number of grants slated for cancellation is twice the amount previously reported, the Post reported. The filing marks the first public acknowledgement by the agency of the total number of grants slated for termination, the newspaper reported.The newspaper cited a document filed last week in a federal court case in Rhode Island. The case was brought by a coalition of nonprofits who challenged the Trump administration’s freezing of billions of dollars in grants that were authorized by Congress under climate investment and infrastructure laws passed under previous president Joe Biden.”EPA is in the process of sending out the formal termination/cancellation notices to all of the impacted grantees,” EPA career official Daniel Coogan wrote in the filing.
Of course, the mainstream media and climate cult minions make it seem as if this move will lead to the poisoning of minorities and harm women, children, and those who identify as either or both.
The grants would have provided funding for projects to help communities cope with worsening impacts of the climate crisis. Examples of plans to put the money to use in recipients’ communities are coastal flood protection in Alaska Native villages and sealing homes against wildfire smoke in Washington state.Local officials said losing the grants will interfere with their ability to keep constituents healthy.In Hampden County, Massachusetts, the air quality is frequently unhealthy, and over 49,000 adults and children living there suffer from asthma. A three-year EPA grant of nearly $1 million was intended to provide support for environmental public health projects to reduce the risk of asthma.
However, I suspect these concerns are actually the “pandas” for eco-activists. During a recent interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) lead Elon Musk explained that many special concerns were used to cover waste, fraud, and abuse, using the adorable animal to make an effective analogy.
“These programs are along the lines of “save the baby pandas,” and of course who wouldn’t want to save the baby pandas? In some cases they’ve got a show panda which they’ll trot out for special occasions.In a lot of cases they don’t even have a show panda. There’s not even one panda. When we ask for pictures we don’t even get one panda. What’s a billion dollars get you if you don’t even get one panda?”
How do I know that analogy effectively hit progressives in the fiscal Achilles’ heel? Because the uber-liberal Mediaite decried it as a “bewildering tangent“. LOL!!!!!
But I digress. Here is an example of the anti-American antics that environmental justice grants have funded.
I am looking forward to less “environmental justice” and more real concern about real environmentalism, such as good land management practices, reducing the risk of massive wildfires.
