DHS John Kelly Defunds, Disinvites Islamic Groups Favored By Barack Obama
2017-06-26
Another quiet step toward the way things ought to be, while not at all coincidentally reducing government spending. Long section about the defunded groups can be read at the link.

The turnaround was made public on Friday when the Department of Homeland Security announced a revised list of the organizations which are getting DHS funds to help revent young Moslems from becoming jihadis. The new list replaced an Obama list announced January 13, 2017, and it dropped a $800,000 grant for an Islamic seminary in Los Angeles, and a $393,000 grant for a linked organization, the Moslem Public Affairs Council Foundation.

#4  Why did the DHS even consider granting $800,000 to an Islamic seminary?? Can you imagine the outrage if the government gave a grant to a Catholic seminary?
