Many stories are surfacing about waste, fraud, and abuse, but there is one story that is being mentioned by numerous commentators. The Department of Justice has been investigating the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. This was created when Congress passed President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.
The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund was a $27 billion program within the Environmental Protection Agency and was lauded as a “first-of-its-kind” program to address the climate crisis while revitalizing marginalized communities. Although it was supposed to help people in communities that were “historically left behind,” very little of the money went to those communities. Instead, the money went to the bank accounts of environmental nonprofits with boards and staff that included Democratic donors and people with connections to the Obama and Biden administrations.
Bari Weiss described a Free Press investigation that concluded that most ($20 billion) of the funds allocated were “rushed out the door to eight nonprofit groups after Biden lost the election—but before President Donald Trump took office.” On my radio program I recently talked about how a former EPA official admitted (in a secretly recorded video) it was like they were “tossing gold bars off the Titanic.”
Katie Pavlich quotes the Washington Free Beacon story that DOGE discovered that $2 billion of those funds went to a “non-profit linked to perennial Georgia Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett concluded: “We all think there’s waste. There is abuse. I think there may be real fraud here.”
Perhaps you can now understand why there has been such a rabid response to the DOGE investigation.

In her book, Uncommon Courage, constitutional lawyer Keisha Russell warns that the seeds of tyranny have taken root and are reaching a critical tipping point. She was on my radio program recently to describe what is happening and expose the tactics of forces attempting to undermine the foundations of this republic.
She begins by talking about the foundation for freedom in this country that comes from Christianity. The framers had a biblical view of government and of human nature. That is why our republic is constructed this way.
She then talks about how tyranny and totalitarianism have spread in other countries and applies those historic patterns to the US. She believes we have an opportunity through the church. She has been defending the religious liberty of Christians and others and commends them for their courage: hence the title of her book.
She applies her biblical worldview to many of the contemporary issues of our day. A Supreme Court decision about contraception led to the infamous decision about abortion. Once life was redefined, it was only a matter of time before marriage would be redefined.
She focuses due attention on America’s original sin: slavery. In many ways, the argument justifying slavery was only slightly modified to justify abortion and even legalizing dehumanization. It even led to the legalization of infanticide.
How should be respond? We should live with purpose. We should pursue a kingdom agenda. We should stand for what is right and resist the pressure placed upon us. She also had instructive suggestions on how to improve our criminal justice system and public education.
Finally, we need to boldly speak out. We should recognize truth in a world filled with historical propaganda. Put simply: it’s time for Christians to take a stand.
