(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden’s persistent push for billions of dollars in taxpayer funding toward progressive ideology on gender and race at home and abroad is under fire.
Since Biden took office, the federal government has doled out huge sums to prop up Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and LGBTQ projects in the U.S. and around the globe.
Biden’s budget, proposed earlier this month, drew attention for its many proposed tax increases and $7.3 trillion in proposed spending.
The White house announced the budget includes $3 billion to “advance gender equity and equality worldwide,” a request that’s several hundred million dollars more than last year’s budget.
On top of that, the budget provides hundreds of millions of dollars to train the next generation of school teachers in progressive orthodoxy on race, gender and sexuality issues.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, blasted Biden’s push for more spending on progressive gender ideology.
“Biden’s budget is not a real budget – it is a campaign messaging item,” Cruz told The Center Square. “DEI is the cornerstone of Biden’s woke ideology, so it’s no surprise that his budget reflects his divisive ideology. Biden’s budget proposes $5 trillion in new taxes to fund these worthless woke programs. Despite Biden’s gaslighting at the State of the Union, Americans know that our economy is in trouble.”
While the president’s budget does not get passed wholesale into law, it sets the agenda for the White House and sends a clear message to Congress, particularly members of the president’s own party, on what to prioritize that year.
As The Center Square previously reported, one example of that kind of spending in the president’s budget includes a $30 million allotment to the Hawkins Centers of Excellence, a federal program for teachers that trains them in inclusivity on race, gender and sexuality.
The taxpayer-funded programs are set up at institutions that historically serve minority populations and must “examine the sources of inequity and inadequacy in resources and opportunity and implement pedagogical practices in teacher preparation programs that are inclusive with regard to race, ethnicity, culture, language, and disability status and that prepare teachers to create inclusive, supportive, equitable, unbiased, and identity-safe learning environments for their students.”
This kind of spending is not merely a proposal in Biden’s budget, however. It is already commonplace across the federal government.
For example, the Pentagon has prioritized spending tax dollars on DEI and LGBTQ issues, such as $86.5 million for “dedicated diversity and inclusion activities.”
In one example, the 2022 Department of Defense Comptroller report noted, “ensuring accountable leadership by adding nearly $500 million in FY 2023 to implement the recommendations of the Independent Review Commission (IRC) on Sexual Assault in the Military, enhancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) programs, and addressing extremism in the ranks.”
“The Department will lead with our values – building diversity, equity, and inclusion into everything we do,” the report added.
In another example, as The Center Square previously reported, the latest Congressional budget passed and signed into law included a litany of earmarks, when lawmakers set aside federal money for pet projects in their districts.
One such earmark is for $1 million to renovate the William Way LGBT Community Center in Philadelphia.
These examples are just a few of many that have become commonplace priorities in the budgets of lawmakers, the White House and the federal agencies.
Biden’s budget doubles down on these kinds of spending measures.
Meanwhile, the national debt is drawing closer to $35 trillion with no signs of slowing down.
Cruz argued the gender spending is far from Americans’ top priority.
“The price of rent, groceries, gas, and utilities has skyrocketed with Biden’s inflation,” Cruz said.
“The last thing our economy needs is more woke spending. This election, the American people have a choice: keep voting for financial policies that are bankrupting the country over worthless woke programs, or vote for jobs, opportunity, and security.”
“Behold I tell you a mystery, we shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed, in the moment, in the twinkling of an eye”,,by the next strumpet, in the next resurrection election by men with erections,,,the strumpet shall sound and dead voter be raised,,,corruptable,,changed from honest into dishonest, men into women, straight into gay, producers into consumers. winners into losers, economic wizards into demonic democrat witches and warlocks. No mystery here! The devil is in the democrat Party details.
DEI = DIVERSITY in the many ways they criminally re-distribute honest wealth from Creators to Consumers, that now has crossed the line into outright taxpayer theft that only serves to educate future criminals how to steal something for nothing with the drop of a vote.,,,,EQUITY in the equal distribution of their socially created poverty. INCLUSION which soon becomes their very misaligned malocclusion that puts the bite on everyones freedoms and wealth, intended to include all who have yet to receive their indoctrinating mis- education of immoral entitlement to the wealth and property created with the sweat of the brow of expended other people’s now stolen life force.
The enemy stands not before us, but just crawls on their bellies like the serpent who in the Garden of Eden promised Eve the bright shiny apple, but forgot to tell her about all the worms inside.
The lies, cons, deceptions, hypocrisy, and treachery of this treasonous, woke, socialist, demonic Democrat Party cabal and their democrat RINO supporters know no bounds.
“The Pentagon has prioritized spending tax dollars on DEI and LGBTQ issues, such as $86.5 million for “dedicated diversity and inclusion activities.” Biden’s budget proposes $5 trillion in new taxes to fund these worthless woke programs. “The Department will lead with our values – building diversity, equity, and inclusion into everything we do,”
To fully advance the Lying, Treasonous, Demonic, Woke, Socialist Democrat Party cult’s destructive beliefs and agendas, is to deliberately divide our citizens with hate and promote – racism, open borders, radical feminism, abortion-on-demand, the LGBTQ lifestyle, unfettered sexual identity, transgender, same sex marriage, child indoctrination into sexual confusion and perversions, the pagan Liberal left Democrats must do away with GOD, our Constitution, common sense, morality, Christian values and free religious exercise altogether.
Under the of Disguise of Democrats versions of their DEI and LGBTQ “anti-discrimination.”
AND You can bet, once those ‘new federal workers are there’, even an act of god, won’t get rid of them.
Where’s the money for all us regular non-queer regular gender people who actually make this country function?
WE Don’t matter.
This treasonous, corrupt, woke, puppet Joe Biden was Barack Obama’s butt buddy even back in March 2015.

“Joe Biden went on to assure the pro-LGBTQ crowd that even though the Obama administration cannot enforce a thought police, people who stand for their religious convictions are in the process of being wiped out — as the White House’s homosexual agenda continues to proliferate across the nation.
Carson and others who ascribe to the biblical view of homosexuality should be eradicated from the planet
in the name of “equality” and “tolerance.” “
The LGBTQ Con and deception is just to want “equality, acceptance and tolerance.” These LGBTQ’s are the open practitioners of the infamous crime against GOD and nature,
Who sold their souls to the malicious, venomous bullies of Organized LGBTQ mafia. These Sodomites, will not tolerate and will attack and attempt to destroy anyone and anything not accepting and promoting their degenerate, sexually perverted lifestyle.
Deacon, Great question! This Federal government needs to spend our tax money that they collect from us sensibly. For example: Repair the bridges that are falling down , repair / repave the roads and highways that are filled with potholes, help the U S military vets that have mental and physical disabilities, and hire and support more police in all the cities in this country. Stop pissing our money away!
WE already pay out the butt, for those roads, via taxes up the wazoo..
Yes. The Fed should use the “funds” for the purpose for which they were confiscated. We The People have paid for infrastructure IN ADVANCE!
DEI may not be such a bad idea when we see the big picture with respect for 21st century global perspective. Some things coming and not much we can do..
Democrats are working hard to create a new class of oppressed people and they are using our tax dollars to do it. This is nothing but a scam to insure sexually confused people along with their friends and loved ones will turn to the Democrats for protection against a perceived enemy, conservatives. After years of using fear to capture the black vote, that ruse is finally being exposed so the fabricated LGBTQIA+ community has been elevated to rapidly become their replacement.
$$35 trillion in debt….and that idiot wants to spend billions on woke. Speechless.
That is because THE WOKE IS THEIR agenda.. NOT our nation.
the evil in the democrat party is off the charts.
Hey Commander-in-Chief, lead by example and become Josephine Biden.
