Controversy Explodes Over Government's Allocation Of Funds: What's Hiding In The $1.2 Trillion Bill?

In a move that has left conservatives reeling, the House of Representatives has approved a colossal $1.2 trillion government funding bill, mere hours before the impending shutdown deadline.

This package is set to finance the government until the conclusion of the fiscal year, which falls on September 30.

However, the staggering cost of the bill is not the sole cause for conservative concern. The contents of the bill have also raised eyebrows.

A significant portion of the $1.2 trillion, specifically "$500 million," has been set aside for the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, according to Glenn Beck. The funds are intended to "support the Armed Forces of Jordan and to enhance security along its borders."

In addition, the bill has allocated resources towards LGBTQ+ initiatives, including a project that Beck has humorously dubbed "the grooming, binding, and tucking" initiative. This initiative aims to create "new underpants for kids" within the LGBTQ+ community.

"There's a lot of LGBTQ kids out there without underpants because you know, that's just the way America is right now — underpant-less," Beck quipped.

Moreover, Beck expressed surprise at the allocation of billions of dollars to agencies he was previously unaware of, such as the United States Agency for International Development. Beck described this agency as "just an arm of the CIA," and criticized its practice of "giving money all over the world and not for anything that you actually think is right but for what the CIA thinks is right."

Following the passing of the bill, a senator reached out to Beck with a grim message: “Glenn, we’re going to hell in a handbag.” Beck concurred with this sentiment, warning, “If we don't turn this thing around by fall, sorry gang. I hate to say it, but you're just not going to come back from all of this.”
