Good day all. It’s been almost three years since the second Trump Administration came into office and got to work. There have been a number of investigations and the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, was able to kill several agencies that were nothing more than money laundering systems for the Democrats.
Things have been progressing. Currently, the big scandal is the billions of dollars of taxpayer money that has been stolen. However, there have been some other, under the radar, investigations. One of these is a report of the Department of Health and Human Services sending money to a group that backs terrorists. Here are the details from Just The News:
Two federal agencies gave taxpayer dollars to charities with ties to terrorism, new reports show. The State Department worked with World Vision to distribute $2 billion in global health foreign assistance even though an Israeli court convicted the nonprofit’s Gaza affiliate operations manager of sending up to $50 million to Hamas in 2022. Separately, the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) provided nearly $80 million to 14 organizations linked to terrorism and extremism.
I would love to say I’m shocked about this, but the levels of incompetence and corruption of the Biden Maladministration is going to be studied in history classes for centuries, provided we can recover from the damage they did.
The Middle East Forum (MEF) recently reported that 14 terror-linked and extremist organizations, led by CAIR, collected nearly $80 million from HHS through the Refugee Resettlement, Health, and Mosque Renovation grants. Through this fund, the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) California chapter received the most of any Islamist group, collecting $42.2 million in funding from the HHS to provide legal and social services to Afghan refugees.
CAIR, which is to Islamic Terrorists in the same way that Sinn Féin was to the IRA. Basically a front organization. (Yeah I expect I’ll hear about that in the comments, but I don’t care)
“All contributions and grants that CAIR-CA receives are fully reported, accounted for, and used strictly for their intended purposes, subject to rigorous internal and external auditing and reporting. This transparency is why both private and public funders have worked with us and continue to do so,” CAIR-CA told Just the News in a statement. “We are proud to serve and defend the rights of American Muslims and immigrants—communities that greatly enrich our nation and contribute to its economic success.”
CAIR has a long history of ties to terrorism, as The National Review has reported. The organization might not drop bombs, but it has a history with Hamas, a terror group designated by the U.S. government, having accepted money from a Hamas front group and raising money for that same group after 9/11.
One of the many things I ended up hating the GW Bush administration over was their cowardice when it came to dealing with CAIR and other Islamic groups. It should have been a literal no-brainer to follow the money and shut this group down. Instead, that Neocon wastrel referred to Islam as “The religion of peace.
In 2004, CAIR settled a lawsuit it initiated while acknowledging that statements made by an anti-CAIR group were accurate, including that CAIR is a terrorist supporting front organization that receives some money from terrorists, and that the organization has links to and was founded by Islamic terrorists.
Further, at least seven board or staff members of CAIR have been arrested, indicted, pleaded guilty, or convicted of terrorist charges or denied entry into the U.S. due to terrorism charges. CAIR was also famously named as an “unindicted co-conspirator” by federal prosecutors in a criminal conspiracy to provide financial support to Hamas. This led to the FBI ending contacts with CAIR out of concern for its terrorist ties. CAIR did not respond to a Just the News inquiry prior to press time.
Sadly, it wasn’t just CAIR that was having money shoveled at it by the Biden Maladministration. There were other front groups as well.
Other groups that received HHS funding include the Islamic Circle of North America’s (ICNA) humanitarian wing, ICNA Relief, which collected $10.6 million, while representing the American branch of an Islamist group that has caused violence in South Asia. The Muslim American Society’s (MAS) Sacramento chapter received $90,000 to promote women’s health literacy, even though the MAS was called an “overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America” by a federal appeals court. The Muslim Brotherhood is known for supporting female genital mutilation, a barbaric procedure supported by Muslim-majority societies.
The Just The News article goes on to list other organizations of questionable pedigree. One problem that has cropped up is with World Vision. The State Department appears to be continuing to work with this group.
Despite its history, the State Department announced earlier this month that it would partner with World Vision and others to provide global health and humanitarian assistance to countries in need.
“This historic announcement is the largest allocation of global health foreign assistance to faith-based organizations in over 20 years,” the announcement said. “It underscores the Trump Administration’s commitment to partnering with organizations that demonstrate faith in action and have proven their ability to deliver health and humanitarian assistance in the world’s most difficult environments.”
I have a suspicion that this is something at Secretary of State Rubio is not aware of.
But a senior Trump administration official told JNS that “World Vision is severely compromised by ties to Islamist terrorists and a radical left-wing climate change agenda,” and questioned the decision to partner with them to distribute billions of taxpayer dollars.
The State Department is denying everything of course. I have a suspicion there is something going on under the hood, so to speak. I do think that a subtle word with Marco Rubio might be in order. With all the jobs he has on his plate, it’s not unlikely that some Deep State operative is playing games.
