Yuge! Trump Pauses All Federal Grant Programs

DEFUND ALL NGOS

Hmmm… already stopped by a judge. Wonder how this will end up in court.

This goes right to the heart of destructive and subversive NGOS. These rogue judges have to be reigned in; they are obstructive and cost taxpayers tons of money with their shenanigans. They are never experts in the matters that they rule on, and they're not ruling on laws; it's all political. When a judge halts something a governor or president mandates, who's judging the judge?

NGOs think our federal government is an ATM machine.

"Nobody wrote a law giving grants to "adopt a holistic, adaptive water management vision that centers the vision of black, Indigenous, and people of color communities." Bureaucrats did that." This a VERY important part of the issue. Laws have been written generally, broadly, leaving the implementation to bureaucrats. This served the Left well because, while a law seemed innocuous, the Leftist bureaucratic implementation was anything but. When a specific outlay was questioned, Leftists fell back on "It's the law!", and the wrapper was. And liberal courts supported that. Trump's remake of the courts in his first term yielded gold. The SCOTUS decided, correctly, that all actions of the federal government must proceed from accountable (elected) officials. Bureaucratic agencies are not elected. If a law hands the responsibility for execution to an agency, it must be VERY specific in its intent and the limits of its spending. Agencies CANNOT add new functionality, impacts, or excessive costs to their mission. THIS is the weakness to the dem approach. It is IMPOSSIBLE to make laws so broad and so changeable as to meet the Left's goals. Every time a new cause popped up, you would need to pass a new law that added the intent and the spending. Plus, given the nature of the Leftist intent and spending, it is likely it would not pass Congress or be signed by the President. Leftist expansion would grind to a halt. Now, this is a sea change, and the exact way this plays out is TBD. There is an enormous danger to the dems in pursuing this. If cases start going to the SCOTUS and the court repeatedly knocks the agencies down, a broad precedent will be established, one not easy to overturn or even modify. Accountability for federal actions by elected officials will be cemented into law. The dems would be destroyed. So, should dems fight now and likely be eviscerated or play the LONG, LONG game and wait until the courts are more favorable. And the final death knell for dems is ... Trump, who is pushing the envelope to the max and sweeping bureaucratic power out with a fire hose. He is deconstructing the Left's house of cards and daring them to challenge him, knowing he is likely to win almost every challenge since the dem's manipulations are so illegal based on the new conservative views. He is FORCING the government to completely reevaluate how it does business and it is going to go VERY badly for the Left. And worst yet, most Americans are pleased with the new direction. The feeble propaganda media is attacking with all it has left but their power to persuade is almost gone. The effort to attack Trump on this may be their death knell. Bureaucracies and the propaganda media, all crushed. That would be a Bright New Day.

NGOs should be forced to take a loyalty oath, one with teeth.

Cutting off the funding for NGOs who fly in illegals. The equivalent of turning off the water to the house before starting to mop up the flooded kitchen.

Get the pinko judge's order overturned ASAP.

The entire network of NGOs is the support infrastructure and money laundering mechanism for the Democrat Party. Shut it off and the party withers and dies.

Someone needs to take a good look at Catholic Charities. And I'm saying this as a Catholic.

Make them ALL reapply and get re-reviewed.
