A $2 billion taxpayer-funded grant to a green nonprofit linked to Stacey Abrams has sparked outrage and raised serious questions about the Biden administration’s vetting process and potential favoritism.
At a Glance
- Power Forward Communities, a nonprofit linked to Stacey Abrams, received a $2 billion EPA grant
- The nonprofit reported only $100 in revenue before receiving the massive grant
- Funds were placed in a Citibank account, raising ethical concerns
- Critics question the selection process and potential favoritism by the Biden administration
From $100 to $2 Billion: The Curious Case of Power Forward Communities
In a move that has left conservatives and taxpayers alike scratching their heads, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Biden administration has awarded a staggering $2 billion grant to Power Forward Communities, a green nonprofit with ties to failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. This eye-popping sum was doled out in April 2024 as part of the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund program. But here’s the kicker: this nonprofit, founded mere months before receiving the grant, reported a measly $100 in total revenue during its first three months of operation.
Let that sink in for a moment. From $100 to $2 billion faster than you can say “government overreach.” If that doesn’t set off alarm bells, I don’t know what will.
Follow the Money: A Citibank Deposit Raising Eyebrows
As if the grant itself wasn’t questionable enough, the plot thickens. The $2 billion, along with $18 billion in other “Greenhouse Gas Reduction” grants, was conveniently placed in an account at Citibank. This arrangement allows recipients to draw funds over time, but it also raises some serious ethical questions about the selection process and potential favoritism by the Biden administration.
Are we witnessing the birth of a new era of green cronyism? It certainly seems that way. The Biden administration appears to be supporting organizations tailor-made to receive federal funding under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. Talk about picking winners and losers – and with our hard-earned tax dollars, no less.
The Left Coast Follies: Karen Bass’s Wildfire Woes
Meanwhile, on the left coast, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is giving us a masterclass in how not to handle a crisis. While severe wildfires raged in her city, Bass was living it up in Ghana, seemingly oblivious to the warnings from the National Weather Service. Nothing says “I care about my constituents” quite like jetting off to Africa while your city burns, right?
Bass’s tone-deaf response to the crisis has unsurprisingly led to plummeting approval ratings and whispers of recall threats. It’s almost as if the left coast can’t help but elect leaders who excel at fiddling while Rome burns – literally, in this case.
From Funding Terrorists to Freezing Aid: The Palestinian Authority Security Forces Saga
In a rare moment of common sense, funding to the Palestinian Authority Security Forces (PASF) has been frozen as part of a broader aid freeze. This decision comes after reports of PASF involvement in attacks against Israelis. It’s about time we stopped bankrolling those who wish us and our allies harm.
This move aligns with the Trump administration’s previous stance, proving once again that sometimes, it takes a businessman to make sound financial decisions in government. It’s a shame it took so long for the current administration to catch up.
The Bottom Line: A Green Light for Waste?
From billion-dollar grants to questionable nonprofits to mayors MIA during crises, it’s clear that the left’s idea of governance is more about virtue signaling than actual problem-solving. As taxpayers, we’re left footing the bill for these green dreams and progressive schemes, while real issues go unaddressed.
It’s high time we demand accountability from our elected officials and government agencies. Otherwise, we might as well just set our money on fire – it would probably do more for reducing greenhouse gases than some of these so-called green initiatives.
