What does the Lord require of me but to do justice, to love kindness and to walk humbly with our God. Micah 6:7-8

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 Biden administration used so-called ‘climate equity’ to justify handouts of billions of dollars to their far-left friends,” @leemzeldin, the Trump administration’s new EPA administrator, told @TheFP. “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.”

A Free Press investigation reveals that of the $27 billion, $20 billion was rushed out the door to eight nonprofit groups after Biden lost the election—but before President Donald Trump took office. As one former EPA official put it on a secretly recorded video, it was akin to “tossing gold bars off the Titanic.”

The eight groups were allocated sums ranging from $400 million to $6.9 billion. Several of them were formed in August of 2023, just one month after the grant applications went live in July of 2023, when it became clear that large nine- and 10-figure grants would be up for grabs. The boards and staff of these eight groups include Democratic donors, people with connections to the Obama and Biden administrations, and prominent Democrats like Stacey Abrams.

“These are some of the biggest grants to individual organizations in American history."

Ex-climate alarmist, Tom Harris: Wind turbines "require a backup fossil fuel plant that continues burning 90% of the time, making the wind turbine largely unnecessary and, in essence, just for show".

"This is a far cry from the environmentally friendly image that is presented to the public."

Mike Rowe’s Foundation Giving Away $2.5 Million in Trade School Scholarships https://t.co/Bv8hTwyTRQ via @epochtimes

If you haven't noticed, (and even if you have), we're in the midst of another enrollment period for our work ethic scholarship program. I'm not sure why, but we have so far received 10X the number of applications we normally get by this time. For this reason, it would be smart to complete your application sooner than later. At this rate, I'm not sure how long the enrollment period will last.

Attached are the stories of two more individuals who had the good sense to apply for one of our scholarships several years ago. Emma Frick wanted to be an electrician, and we were pleased to help her. Today, she owns her own company, Champion Electric, https://t.co/c9g7UeqKPn.

Jake Kern was growing tired of his job in customer service, and wanted to try something new. We helped pay for his welding certification, and today, he runs Madsen Made Welding & Fabrication, building railings, gates, and fences. https://t.co/VB3JEi6y1J

The scholarships are real, and so too are the opportunities. I can't tell you how gratifying it is to see people like Emma and Jake master a skill that's in demand, and then turn it into a thriving small business. Assisting such individuals is a privilege, and I'm grateful to everyone on this page whose generosity has made it possible for me to do so. Apply today at https://t.co/HdzRxzxWSE. Or, support our efforts, if you're so inclined. The DONATE button is hard to miss...

Wind turbines to be painted black to protect birds. Mostly interesting because I remember when they used to tell us turbines didn't kill birds.

The forgotten environmental disaster of the Covid era: 129 billion masks that could not be biodegraded were used and thrown away every month. 3 billion masks now pollute the oceans. And yet, this is not mentioned by so many politicians and self-styled environmentalists.

Doctors often claim that measles is making a comeback because of "antivaxers".

So I plotted measles cases as a ten-year rolling average using CDC data.

And I found that measles is actually not making a comeback.

These "doctors" and "experts" are simply lying to everyone.

I have said many times, that I am always going to be critical of everything. Left or right. I will also give praise when praise is due...

This DOGE website with, full transparency, is amazing. We used to have to read through bills or government docs to try to figure out what is happening. Otherwise, have to trust media at face value.

Regardless if I agree with what is being cut or added, listing every single thing, one by one, is how it should be done. More of this please @DOGE

Maine's Democrat Leadership has asked me to take down my posts exposing their failure to keep biological males out of girls' sports.

My answer is simple: I will not.

I will do everything in my power to ensure our girls' voices are heard and their rights are respected.

The GOP budget extends the 5 yr. tax holiday we’ve been enjoying, but because it doesn’t cut spending much, it increases the deficit by over $300 billion/yr. compared to letting tax cuts expire. Over 10 years, this budget will add $20 trillion to US debt.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

.@RepThomasMassie: “If the Republican plan passes…we’re going to add $328 billion to the deficit this year, we’re going to add $295 billion to the deficit the year after that, and $242 billion to the deficit after that….Why would I vote for that?”
