GP: President Donald Trump’s administration has enacted a temporary suspension of all federal grants and loans, effective today, Tuesday, January 28, 2025.
This strategic pause, orchestrated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), is designed to facilitate a comprehensive review of federal financial assistance programs, ensuring that taxpayer dollars are utilized efficiently and in accordance with the administration’s objectives.
This initiative reflects President Trump’s unwavering commitment to fiscal responsibility and his dedication to eliminating wasteful spending. read more
TGP falls short when it comes to the implications of this and Friday’s State Dept. memo’s implications. Jeff Childers doesn’t fall short. Not a bit of it. If you don’t read Jeff’s Coffee and COVID substack you ought to give it a try (almost all is free). Today, he’s firing on all 27 cylinders with Baptism of Fire.
Y’all need to read this!
Those shrimp will get fat if they turn off those treadmills.
No more organized riots this time around, because the fed will not fund them anymore. Excellent!
a comprehensive review of federal financial assistance programs will determine they’re all essential…
Uncle Al, you’re right, that is a MUST READ article. Thanks!
I would look at the objective that justified past grant funding IN THE GRANT APPLICATION that was submitted and/or the State agency managing the federal money and see if the goal was met. If not, then it just goes away.
An across-the-board freeze is absolutely required, and welcomed, “The crazy profligate Bidenestas were throwing money everywhere, we are going to take a more responsible circumspect approach. For now, everything is frozen until we can get a handle on things, and see what is necessary and what is wasteful. This will take some time to figure out”
I can’t see anyone objecting to this approach.
Federal grants are a mechanism through which the State of Washington has shoved fucking asshole Urban Planners from the UW into every corner of the state. The rural counties and towns need to hire the destructive fuckers in order to have any chance of receiving any money back into their communities. They are deliberately infiltrating the governments there with straight up Marxist/Satanists who don’t have any interest in what the residents need or want. That is how you end up with Rube Goldberg bullshit traffic circles and walk paths and other useless bullshit in counties that have real and immediate transportation needs.
And as for any money to the Catholic charities. End every last goddamn dime. I say that as a Catholic who is aware of how perverts and degenerates have been being elevated based primarily on their ties to absolutely corrupt government officials.
Even though the freeze specifically excludes Medicaid and SNAP payments, the filthy fucking democrats are cutting off those benefits and lying that “Trump did it.”

“And as for any money to the Catholic charities. End every last goddamn dime.”
…The Catholic Church evacuated Nazi refugees from the ruins of Hitler’s Deutchland in the waning days of the war in exchange for gold that had been forcibly extracted from helpless victims using the entire might of a fascist State.
It would seem that nothing has really changed since…
Under absolutely NO CIRCUMSTANCES should any federal funding be restored to States that are systematically attacking citizens God given right, as recognized by the Second Amendment, to keep and bear arms. Particularly it is acts being perpetrated by Democrats most favored constituents that are being cited as pretext to go after the rights of law abiding Americans.

Don’t forget Low income housing which is how they transform city governments and communities into left-wing hives. They overcrowd the cities until the infrastructure doesn’t work anymore, then offered to pay for a new infrastructure with strings attached.
City Hall is usually filled with left-wing radicals that are hired by the city manager while the council can sometimes remain conservative leaning.
They love the bums and try to facilitate tent cities.
They have rights don’t you know.

“Don’t forget Low income housing which is how they transform city governments and communities into left-wing hives.”
…that, yes, but they do SO much more…
…my personal experience with how diabolical these could be is in Hamilton County, Ohio centering on what is now the People’s Republic of Cincinnati.
The reason I say “now” is it wasnt always that way. Cincinnati and its surrounding county were VERY consevative, so much so that cracks like “I want to be in Cincinnati when the world ends because theyre always 20 years behind the times”.
And so it was until the race riots and the “Black conscienceness” of the ’70s, with more and worse riots in 2001. There were a lot of stupid and evil things that were done in the name of an unreachable “racial harmony” then, but one of the most consequential was the founding of the Projects, which concentrated poverty and dependency, crime and want into multi-generational curses and turned the city Democrat. This was a weird time that culminated in the 2001 riots, where the City police being bound by consent decrees essentially surrendered to the rioters and the County sherriff in still-Republican Hamilton County that was the only force that contained and eventually quelled the riots.
For a time.
…it was in this interval I took up residence in my own first house in the County in which I was raised, close to my parents and my wife’s kin and a comfortable distance up a large, long State highway from the sewer that Cincinnati was rapidly devolving into, the County I was raised in, worked in, served in the fire/EMS service in, that I knew the police in and was so sure was safe in its Republican commissioner majority.
There was one problem, though I did not know it.
My street was on a bus line.
…this is where the miracle of Section 8 comes in. Someone in the city and somewhere in the Federal government, they decided that they had incubated poverty and race hatred long enough, and that it was time for a hirjah to transform the land. The projects were torn down so neckbeards could have expensive condos on their land, and like a cell destroyed by a disease breeding in it until it lysses and spews its poison into the rest of the body the residents were given Section 8 vouchers and laws to ensure they could not be refused, then spread far and wide over the County.
In a sickeningly short time, Democrats had taken all the Commissioner seats and most suburban Mayor’s offices as well, with all that entails.
Now there’s a Commissioner who once threatened a reporter with skin Black as her own that she would have Black firemen from the City beat her up over an unfavorable story as one of the three Communist commissioners. Now there’s a proudly Lesbian Sherriff that they actually primaried another Democrat sherriff to get to because he was too male. No White Males need apply for any public service jobs, especially as fire or police chiefs.
I was forced to leave and sell my house to a Black woman because I was tired of incredible taxes, Crime Scene tape on my house from neighborhood activities that sometimes ran across my lawn, and my car windows getting shot out.
THATS what projects do.
Incubate metastizing cancers.
Worked pretty damn good too. Now I have to drive 50 miles to work every day.
From my new house.
In a different county.
That is NOT on a bus line…
