After Donald Trump became president-elect, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) employees were caught on video bragging and rushing to get 20 BILLION dollars out the door, saying they were tossing gold bars off the Titanic.

That’s 2.2 million dollars EVERY HOUR for a full year!

The new head of the EPA is now trying to recover this 20 BILLION. It only took a few weeks for Lee Zeldin to find the money “parked” in a bank. However, the most concerning thing is that all eight of the entities earmarked to receive these funds — ALL OF THEM — were newly created to get the money.

This is not just a Democrat problem; unfortunately, this is a D.C. problem.

FOR MUCH OF THIS SPENDING, CONGRESS ALREADY KNEW THAT THIS WASTE WAS HAPPENING, AND IT DID NOTHING ... FOR DECADES! Demand that Congress stop this ridiculous funding, which is deeply entrenched — and frankly includes both sides of the aisle. We cannot expect Congress to win this battle without serious accountability and pressure from the American taxpayers!

The new EPA administrator complained that out of around 15,000 employees, only a handful — “single digits” — were even showing up to work!

++ The Bus to Nowhere ...

Before the appointment of the new EPA head, the former regime signed a contract for nearly 160 million dollars to a Canadian electric bus manufacturer.

Rather than offering a down payment and the rest upon receipt of each bus, our government PAID THE FULL AMOUNT, 159.2 million dollars. Now this company is declaring bankruptcy, while 95 million dollars' worth of buses have not been manufactured!

This wasn’t even fraud that enriched Americans or helped our economy! It went to foreign shysters.

Now — much like what happens when you take away a bully’s stolen candy — radicals are pitching a fit. We have every expectation that they will again turn to the courts in an attempt to force taxpayers to fund gross fraud and waste in every single agency. Congress must turn off the spigot NOW.

Congress passed the continuing resolutions (CR) that are responsible for this gross fraud and outrageous waste. It is time to hold their feet to the fire.

We have the opportunity to permanently wipe out this obscene and immoral spending. Right now, Congress is preparing a continuing resolution during budget reconciliation. This only needs a majority vote to pass the Senate. Urge Congress to use this CR to wipe out nonessential government spending.

The EPA was sending 50 million dollars to a group called the Climate Justice Alliance. This group states that its platform is to “confront governments,” and they created a video with the following narrative:

The path to climate justice travels through a free Palestine. Let’s learn from Palestinian resilience and all those loving hands ... Arab hospitality and sharing all that you have and dancing together to the rhythms of a free land and free people. It matters how we care for each other in times of crisis and this is alive in Palestine.

It then demands that America (and everywhere else) “cut funding to Israel” and “demilitarization, so that we can all be free.” From the organization’s contact information, it appears to be a D.C.-based group that is using our tax dollars to fight our allies and interests in the Middle East.

Then it gets closer to home.

This group shows its “Team” page with many of its staff raising the BLM (Black Lives Matter) fist and includes an initiative called “Building Towards Black Liberation,” which claims it is “watered by our ancestors’ blood, sweat, and prayers, we are the seeds ... baring the fruit of resistance and resilient to advocate and legitimatize a place for the full recognition of Black and afro-diasporic communities’ leadership and power ... [to be] self-governed.”

In the wake of the brutal BLM riots, disruptions, and deaths, why are 50 million taxpayer dollars funding an organization that is visibly supportive of this violence both inside and outside our borders?

Finally, this group is pushing for the Green New Deal with its board member featured in a partnership video repeatedly demanding it as a domestic policy.

Foreign and domestic violence and political lobbying are what our tax dollars have been funding — in direct opposition to our national interests. This is what Congress has been enabling for decades!

Hold Congress accountable and exponentially end the damage that our tax dollars are doing to our nation and others.

Congress is coming down to the wire with a continuing resolution on what aspects of the government will be funded. Right now, Elon Musk is racing against the clock to find as much abuse as possible to get it pulled out of the next budget before the money is gone and the books are cooked.

Our team on Capitol Hill is working to help expose this and encourage key legislators to stand firm against this government waste and unthinkable fraud. When you give today, you help us demand that Congress permanently end this now. Sign up for a recurring gift. And remember, our Challenge Grant will DOUBLE THE IMPACT OF YOUR GIFT.
