Billions of federal dollars go to left-wing causes because activists control federal bureaucracy— and that’s not likely to change soon, an analyst predicts.

Times The federal government pays for initiatives promoting transgenderism and other LGBT causes because left-wing bureaucrats have captured federal grant-giving programs, experts say.

“When you dig into who staffs federal agencies, they’re absolutely dominated by people on the left side of the political spectrum,” David Ditch, senior budget policy analyst for The Heritage Foundation, told The Epoch Times. “That has been the case for a very long time. I expect that will be the case indefinitely, regardless of who wins the next presidential election.

The Wyoming legislature took a big step toward respecting the Second Amendment with House Bill 72. It is, AN ACT relating to concealed weapons; repealing gun free zones; providing for the carrying of concealed weapons as specified; creating a criminal offense for prohibiting entry to a person carrying a concealed weapon as specified; clarifying that only the state legislature may regulate firearms, weapons and ammunition; providing for exceptions; requiring rulemaking; and providing for an effective date.

This is the Cowboy State’s second bite at this apple. Last year’s bill was vetoed, and the usual public school suspects are unhappy about the governor allowing it to become law this time.

On Tuesday, March 11, 2025, in the 9:30 am Cascade County Commissioner meeting, Commissioners signed a lease agreement to construct a new solid waste container site in Belt – right across the fence from the recently vacated one. Construction of a new site is loosely estimated between $100,000 – $190,000. And, in an ensuing “Solid Waste Hearing” at 11:00 am, they signed a resolution to seek a loan, up to $300,000. The loan is to be used for the solid waste district program in general. Lastly, in September, 2024, taxpayers were assessed a 45% increase to their Solid Waste tax assessment which infused over $400,000 into the Solid Waste District budget. However, there is no way the Public will know anything further because, assumedly, the majority of the discussions leading up to these decisions were by undisclosed meetings and email deliberations. Commissioners then refused to answer inquiries of citizens as they went to the podium to participate.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has made its mark so far, to the tune of $115 billion, according to Polymarket.com, a new website that tracks DOGE’s progress and every red cent that DOGE redirects from what they’re calling “government waste, fraud and abuse.”

So far, DOGE has cut more than 100,000 jobs across the 2.3 million-member federal civilian bureaucracy, frozen most foreign aid and canceled thousands of programs and contracts, despite dozens of lawsuits challenging the legality of those moves. DOGE’s blunt approach has frustrated several White House officials and Republican lawmakers, some of whom have confronted angry constituents at town halls.

With 1417 total pieces of legislation
in both House and Senate being
introduced in Helena this Legislative
Session, it is hard not to notice how large
government is growing. As a matter of fact,
the Montana Legislature website reports 373
pieces of legislation were introduced under the
“Government Structure and Administration”
title and 172 were introduced under the “Local
Government” title.
But government isn’t the only entity gaining
momentum during recent legislative sessions.
So are lobbyist groups, which are self-appointed
boards whose members are mostly comprised
of your Elected Officials. Think of the irony of
this practice.
On February 11, 2025, Cascade County
Commissioners unanimously approved
Resolution #25-12; A Resolution Opposing
Legislation Limiting or Prohibiting Montana
Association of Counties Lobbying on behalf of
its Members. Montana Association of Counties
(MACo) rallied 52 of our 56 Montana counties
to sign such resolutions in an effort to work
toward defeating Senate Bill 254 (SB254).

In his joint address to Congress last night,
President Trump said many important things
that have massive implications. The most
consequential thing for our age is when he
declared for America, “Our message to every
child in America is that you are perfect exactly
the way God made you.”
T
hat was undergirded by this foundational
human truth, “I signed an order making
it the official policy of the United States
government that there are only two genders:
male and female.”
To this, he added, America will be “forever
ending the lie that any child is trapped in the
wrong body.” He noted, “This is a big lie.”

“CHINGA LA MIGRA!”

Major cities nationwide resounded with this chant in the weeks following President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Pro-illegal immigration activists took over the streets with protests bordering on riots and engaged in coordination efforts to thwart deportations. Younger grassroots activists, like those with the local Party For Socialism and Liberation or the MECHA chapters, bolstered their numbers with members of the most well-funded leftist activist operations in the state.

These activist operations are nonprofits financed, in large part, by the wealthiest leftist donors in the nation—especially those dealing in dark money by the millions. But it doesn’t stop there. They’re also financed by reputable U.S. corporations and their leaders—and even federal grants. These nonprofits have similar goals: opening the border, abolishing immigration enforcement, and granting citizenship to illegal immigrants.
