True. Your post inspired me to see what the Biden administration had done to the NSF, which some of us already assumed was corrupt and leftist in orientation:

November 07, 2024
Legal Team With Ties to Trump Investigating NSF’s ‘Leftist Ideology’
By Kathryn Palmer
America First Legal Foundation, a nonprofit run by former members of President-elect Donald Trump’s first administration, is suing the National Science Foundation for records related to the agency’s prioritization of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

According to AFL’s lawsuit, the NSF received the records request in 2023 but has failed to produce them in a timely manner, an alleged violation of the Freedom of Information Act.

The suit, filed Oct. 30 in federal court, comes after Senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican and ranking member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, published a report accusing the Biden-Harris administration of politicizing science.

The report claims that since Biden took office in 2021, the NSF has awarded more than $2 billion in federal funding to thousands of scientific research projects that promoted DEI or “pushed neo-Marxist perspectives about enduring class struggle,” with such awards allegedly growing from 0.29 percent of all new grants in 2021 to 27 percent by 2024.

Government bureaucracies tend to be corrupt. There will always be more problems than money to solve them. Spending money inefficiently on leftist causes is not the way to go. Sometimes you need to clean house and restructure.

I didn’t bother reading past “America First Legal Foundation, a nonprofit run by former members of President-elect Donald Trump’s first administration”
Seems like a totally unbalanced source that I never heard of before.
