EPA cancels grants

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has terminated grant agreements totaling $20 billion. The grants were issued under the Biden administration to form a Green Bank program, designed to finance clean energy and climate friendly projects.

The idea was to create a nationwide version of government backed and nonprofit green banks that are currently operating in 17 states. The law gave the EPA $27 billion to grant to states, tribes, nonprofit groups and public private consortiums. 

Those grantees in turn can lend or grant funds to projects or initiatives across the country while bringing in private sector lenders or financial backers to try and multiply the effects of this money.

In April of 2024, the EPA picked eight coalitions to receive the funds.

The South Side of Columbus – often forgotten and maligned by the rest of Central Ohio – could someday be transformed by two massive mixed-use developments with their developers seeking greater density (building higher) with little to no parking. One at the Great Southern Shopping Center, after it is bulldozed, and the other across South High St. from “The Fort,” which is near the State Route 104 on-ramps and a few miles from German Village.

Dr. Rasha Alawieh is an Ivy League Lebanese doctor and legal visa holder was deported by the Trump Administration despite a court order. The New Republic accused the Trump administration in an article of openly defying a court order and deporting the Brown University professor and kidney transplant specialist.
 
Dr. Rasha Alawieh traveled to her native Lebanon to visit relatives last month and was detained on Thursday upon her return to the U.S. A District Court judge in Massachusetts, Leo Sorokin, ordered the government in a Friday evening ruling to give a 48-hour advance notice before deporting Alawieh, but she was put on a flight out of the country the same night anyway. Customs and Border Protection officials basically intentionally defied the initial ruling on purpose, claiming to get the court order two minutes too late.
 
What if Dr. Rasha Alawieh was an escaped fugitive?
 
You can bet the Customs and Border Protection official will order the flight to abort the takeoff.

The Israeli regime supported by the US regime just attacked the people of
Gaza strip killing 304 civilians (reported so far last night to this
morning) and injuring hundreds. Men, women, children are being slaughtered
again in large numbers using US weapons and support. This while not
allowing humanitarian aid (2 million people denied food, medicine, water)).
Is there any group that will intervene to stop the genocide?  How is it
that the whole global order is subservient to Zionist racism with only
Yemen trying to ddo something. Egypt, Jordan, Europe, the UN, the US...
partners in genocide.  No one still believe the Zionist propaganda but
politicians surrender to the Zionist lobbies and blackmail (Jefrey Epstein
was Mossad).

The US regime also just expelled the the South African Ambassador (for his
outspoken rejection of imperialism) and is trying to expell a lawful
permanant resident (Mamoud Kalil) for speaking the truth about an ongoing
genocide. The regime also got rid of Adam Boehler, US envoy who talked to
Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement). The US an Israel break ceasefires they
