Is There Gold In Fort Knox?
This is it……THE BIG HEIST! This is what non-believer, Donald Trump, signed up for. His Christian base are begging for THE END of secularism in America, and emptying Fort Knox – is just the beginning!
I and a million Seniors may lose their Section 8 housing, and tens of millions of children may lose their free lunch. ENTER FRANKLIN GRAHAM and a beefed-up Faith-Based Imitative.!
“STOP THE STEAL! Raid Fort Knox and destroy secularism – SO JESUS WILL COME! They’re STEALIMG JESUS! STOP THEM! Grab their gold! In GOLD is the name GOD!
“Trump’s executive orders to root out “Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies” from programs within their purview.”
Trump is doing Hitler – BIG TIME! He has dismissed the role of Congress, and has aimed his Personal God Squad at Leftists and Transgenders. These people will be blamed when Seniors are put out in the street – with their pets. These people are to blame – for their children going hungry! Putin is blowing his Big Buddy – BIG KISSES! How many Christians love Big Daddy Putin?
Wow! I just watched the AI Messenger for the Sky God! She wore a cross as she inflicted monetry pain on the needy. This is Economic Terrorism, ministered by a Radical Religious God Squad!

Russian President Vladimir Putin has found support in an unlikely place: the U.S.
Specifically, Christian nationalists, a subsection of America’s religious right, have flocked to the country’s autocratic leader, according to new research from a team of social scientists, including Sarah Riccardi-Swartz, an assistant professor of religion and anthropology at Northeastern University.
Riccardi-Swartz says this level of support for Putin among Christian nationalists is especially notable given their simultaneous opposition or indifference to Russia itself.
“Even if Christian nationalists are ambivalent to Russia as a geopolitical construct or if they view it as a threat, they are still favorable towards Putin as a political figure,” Riccardi-Swartz says. “This seems to suggest that Americans who subscribe to Christian nationalist ideology are attracted to Putin as a strong man and ethno-nationalist leader just as they were with Trump.”
Still, as written the pause could affect a big swath of programs that aid lower-income households, including: Medicaid; school breakfast and lunch programs; Section 8 rental assistance; Title I education grants; Temporary Assistance for Needy Families; state grants for child care; Head Start; and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.
On January 29, 2001, President Bush issued two executive orders related to improving the participation of faith-based and community organizations in federal funding supporting the delivery of social services. The first executive order established a White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. The second order established centers to implement this Initiative at the Department of Justice, along with the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Housing and Urban Development. Additional centers have since been established at the Department of Agriculture, Corporation for National Community Service, the Small Business Administration, the United States Agency for International Development, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs.
The Task-Force for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives is the result of President Bush’s order to create a center at the Department of Justice. In July 2001, the Task Force released a comprehensive survey of the programs in the Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs to determine if there are inappropriate barriers to the full participation of faith-based organizations in applying for government grants and cooperative agreements. The survey also looked at how these programs might be made more accessible to faith-based and other small community groups. In August of 2001, the White House issued its report, Unlevel Playing Field, based on the work of the five centers.
Legal battle looms as Trump orders a funding freeze during a review of federal loans and grants

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is pausing federal grants and loans starting Tuesday as President Donald Trump’s administration begins an across-the-board ideological review of its spending, causing confusion and panic among organizations that rely on Washington for their financial lifeline.
Administration officials said the decision was necessary to ensure that all funding complies with Trump’s executive orders, which are intended to undo progressive steps on transgender rights, environmental justice and diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, efforts.
They also said that federal assistance to individuals would not be affected, including Social Security, Medicare, food stamps and other such programs.
However, the funding freeze could affect trillions of dollars, at least temporarily, and cause widespread disruption in health care research, education programs and other initiatives. Even grants that have been awarded but not spent are supposed to be halted.

“My office will be taking imminent legal action against this administration’s unconstitutional pause on federal funding,” she said on social media.
The pause was scheduled to take effect at 5 p.m. ET, just one day after agencies were informed of the decision.
“The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve,” wrote Matthew Vaeth, the acting director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Democrats and independent organizations swiftly criticized the administration, describing its actions as capricious and illegal because Congress had already authorized the money.

“The scope of this illegal action is unprecedented and could have devastating consequences across the country,” said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee. “For real people, we could see a screeching halt to resources for child care, cancer research, housing, police officers, opioid addiction treatment, rebuilding roads and bridges, and even disaster relief efforts.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, called it “more lawlessness and chaos in America.”
It’s unclear from the White house memo how sweeping the pause will be. Vaeth said all spending must comply with Trump’s executive orders,
Vaeth wrote that “each agency must complete a comprehensive analysis of all of their Federal financial assistance programs to identify programs, projects, and activities that may be implicated by any of the President’s executive orders.” He also wrote that the pause should be implemented “to the extent permissible under applicable law.”
Washington is a hub of spending that flows to various departments, local governments, nonprofits and contractors, and the memo has left countless people who are dependent on that money wondering how they will be affected.

The pause is the latest example of how Trump is harnessing his power over the federal system to advance his conservative goals. Unlike during his first term, when Trump and many members of his inner circle were unfamiliar with Washington, this time he’s reaching deep into the bureaucracy.
“They are pushing the president’s agenda from the bottom up,” said Paul Light, an expert on the federal government and professor emeritus of public service at New York University.
He also said there are risks in Trump’s approach, especially with so many voters reliant on Washington.
“You can’t just hassle, hassle, hassle. You’ve got to deliver.”
A briefing with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, her first, is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. ____ Associated Press writers Lisa Mascaro, Michael Sisak and Collin Binkley contributed to this report.
