The US embassy in London is also offering grants of up to $500,000 for “public education” programmes that foster a “national conversation” about “shared civilizational values” between the UK and US.

Right up my street. Magna Carta, free markets, jury trial, right on stuff.

Sadly, you’ve also got to actually do something. Sigh.

None of those things survive unspoiled in the UK. There are no shared civilizational values which all would agree on. The left do not espouse any of them.

By which I have disqualified myself from getting the half-million bucks.

If millions in funding going to a new organisation with vague goals sounds a bit weird, it’s because it is.

Never mind millions, the Dems handed out billions to multiple organisations which were created solely to trouser said billions.

A nicely formatted document would do it. These days, apparently, spelling is optional. I don’t think doing something is a requirement.

You would have to adhere to the party line though. Damn, there goes my grant.

I’m sure that one of the many AI gigs could knock out a few pages of well-formatted, acceptable pap…

Let’s edit the headline a bit…

“Millions of US EU tax dollars sent to rightwing “Progressive” European thinktanks. Did anyone Trump supporters vote for that?”
Groan Hacks would applaud that…. And be the first to say it’s Only Right and Proper..

A former US official told the Guardian that normal funding processes are being subverted so that money can go to Trump-aligned causes.

Normally US taxpayer funded aid money is spent on encouraging toddlers in Romania to get sex changes, black lesbian dance troupes in Bhutan, and George Soros aligned anti-White organisations that want to burn down your society.

But this was “subverted” by the American taxpayers democratically electing a new president.

wot? An American foreign program that expects people to do something? That’s new. Mostly we just piss the money away with not even garbage to show for it.

Seems a frivolous use of my tax money.
