The Whipping Post Take on Noozhawk
TRUMP'S KEYWORD MASSACRE: BILLIONS IN 'CLIMATE' GRANTS GONE!
Noozhawk breathlessly reports on the Trump administration's bold move to defund grant categories that reeked of performative progressive pablum.

Green DeskWell, bless its little bleeding heart, Noozhawk bravely republishes CalMatters' latest bulletin from the front lines of academia, where apparently, the sky is falling faster than a 'gender studies' grant application.
The horror! The humanity! President Trump’s White House, in a move that can only be described as fiscally responsible, has evidently pulled the plug on 'billions worth of California research grants' by simply identifying a few key buzzwords. Imagine that – a federal government actually looking at what it's funding and saying, 'Is this actually useful, or is it just more navel-gazing for the progressive professoriate?' Shocking, we know, given the last administration’s open wallet for anything that whispered 'equity' or 'climate change.'
One can almost hear the wails from tenured radicals currently scrambling to re-title their 'Effectiveness of Pronoun Usage in Decolonizing Botanical Gardens' studies. The 'establishment' media, of course, frames this as an attack on 'science,' when in reality, it's an attack on frivolous spending disguised as science. Perhaps if these 'researchers' focused less on theoretical wokeness and more on actual breakthroughs that benefit taxpayers, their grants wouldn't be so easily keyword-filtered into oblivion.
The real story here, which CalMatters and its republishers like Noozhawk conveniently ignore, is the long-overdue housecleaning of bloated, politically motivated academic boondoggles. Our intrepid reporting suggests that many of these 'terminated' grants were little more than thinly veiled subsidies for leftist ideology, often with questionable deliverables. Good riddance to the billions wasted on what amounted to a collegiate wish list, now freed up for actual research, perhaps in fields like, oh, say, energy independence or economic growth? A win for taxpayers, undoubtedly, even if it does send the Ivory Tower into a collective meltdown.
Now, if only someone would audit the 'impact' of all those 'diversity, equity, and inclusion' departments. One can dream.
