Biden orders $1 Billion spent to "advance equitable access to trees." Seriously.

"White House says this 'investment' will help achieve 'environmental justice,' fight climate change

If you were a professional grifter--say, a lobbyist expert at getting your nose into troughs of public funds you could grab--and wanted to grab tens of millions of dollars via your connections, what kind of "must-do" pork program would you tell your White House allies to roll out?

One that combined some bleating about "climate change" with "environmental justice."  Maybe something like "equitable access to trees" or some other word-salad that no one could object to because it sounded so warm-fuzzy.

Because you knew the program would be announced on a certain date, your clients would already have their grant proposals ready, and an hour after your friends at the White House announced the must-do spending program, the agency running it would already have 400 perfectly-written grant applications in the in-box, all endorsed by senators and waiting to be funded.

So in the latest example, the biden regime has announced a faaaabulous new program that will spend a Billion dollars to promote "equitable access to trees" and *at the same time* will "advance environmental justice" AND fight climate change!  Seriously, they literally said all those things.

The Mainstream Media is already fawning over the total, unmatched brilliance of the idea.

The agency running the program is the Agriculture Department, which called the pork program "a historic investment in our nation's urban tree canopy."

Seriously, they said that.  They added that it was "a masterful program to blunt the efforts by Republican state lawmakers to kill trees and prevent members of oppressed minorities from seeing them."

Finally they noted that planting trees helps reduce the dreaded poisonous greenhouse gas "carbon dioxide," which would have submerged all U.S. coastal cities by 2010 had it not been for the mighty efforts of presidents Obama and Biden, who singlehandedly saved all coastal cities by ordering sea levels to stop rising.

And as the Mainstream Media all noted, the oceans obeyed that command, despite Republican efforts to sabotage that order by continuing to drive cars, eat meat and use hot water.

The billion dollars will be available to nonprofits, like the Biden Institute to Fight Climate Change, and to states working to "boost equitable access to nature," like the Chuck Schumer Institute to Increase Equitable Access to Nature."

Other efforts are slated to "advance environmental justice by mitigating the impact of climate change on communities that lack tree cover," which is the goal of "the John Fetterman Institute for the Advancement of Environmental Justice."  All these institutes are expected to win maximum funding from the billion-dollar pot.

California, for example, is set to receive $43 million, which will be used to hire 1,100 new government employees to write reports on the unmatched success of the program in "boosting equitable access to nature."

Immediately after taking office in January of 2021, biden issued an Executive Order ordering on all government agencies to "combat the climate crisis with bold, progressive action."  But tragically, the archaic provisions of an old, outdated document called "the Constitution" only allowed the president to fund those bold orders with money already in the Executive Discretionary Budget, so only a paltry $100 million or so.

But now, thanks to Democrat control of the entire government before the climate-denying Republicans won a majority in the House, congress was able to pass bills appropriating a full Billion dollars to fully fund many fabulous, Earth-saving Democrat organizations.

For instance, the "Ilhan Omar Institute for Climate Adaptation and Resilience," which is already building its headquarters in Somalia in anticipation of winning at least $87 million in grants.

But a billion dollars is just a drop in the bucket:  biden and the Democrats have proposed $150 Billion for the U.S. Agency for International Development for the years 2022 thru 2030.  Some conservatives criticized that number as being way too high, preferring to pinch pennies when it comes to saving all life on Earth from extinction.  But $150 billion is actually reasonable for a "whole-of-agency approach" to "building an equitable world with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions."

The words are so inspiring that it almost brings tears to your eyes, like the flag and apple pie.

The effort includes a pledge to inspire and support young climate activists in developing countries, like China.

Yes, citizen, China--the world's largest or possibly 2nd-largest economy, depending on what a given media organization is trying to prove--is considered a "developing nation."  Seriously.

So U.S. dollars will help those activists address the "broad range of climate-related mental health conditions" they may suffer from, including "eco-anxiety."

Seriously, they said that.

Meanwhile last month the Ag Department announced a grant notice seeking proposals for a "Disability-Inclusive Climate Action" project in Tajikistan, which aims to ensure disabled people in the Central Asian nation are included "in the development of climate change response and mitigation policies."

That's a direct quote.  It's not a joke or satire.

Biden's Agriculture Department says its equitable tree access investments "will support lasting community relationships and engagements that strengthen communities."  The spending is part of the administration's faaabulous "Justice40 Initiative."  And I don't have to tell you that with a name like that, it's reeely wonderful!  Unmatched in history.  Supported by over 400 million American voters!

The program requires that 40 percent of almost all federal spending--which the announcing document calls "investments"--is to be spent in "disadvantaged communities that are marginalized, underserved, and overburdened by pollution."   

Senators were already hard at work designating various oppressed, marginalized locations as "underserved."  So far Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, New York City, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and San Francisco have been designated as "underserved," and thus eligible for maximum grants.  

The department's Wednesday announcement includes supportive quotes from the senior adviser to the president for "Clean Energy Innovation and Implementation," John Podesta, who has praised China's efforts to combat climate change by...something.

Podesta is no relation to the John Podesta who ran Hilliary Clinton's 2016 campaign and the Democrat National Committee.  Wait, actually they're the same person.  But his experience totally qualifies him to be biden's top advisor for "Clean Energy Innovation."  Seriously.

Democrat senator Cory Booker said "This historic investment will help us tackle climate change, move us closer to remedying environmental justice in our communities, and ensure equitable access to trees for all our oppressed minorities going forward."

Your tax dollars at work, doing the really critical stuff.  Not that silly stuff like controlling the border.
