Pennsylvania Democratic Sens. John Fetterman and Bob Casey sponsored an earmark in the next year’s fiscal budget for a community center that plans to host an “anti-capitalist” financial planning class.
The senators sponsored the inclusion of $1,00,000 in funding for the William Way LGBT Community Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the purpose of renovations and expansions into the Senate Appropriations Committee fiscal budget for 2024, according to a report from the committee. The center provides a number of services to the community, like peer counseling and resources for transgender individuals, and will host a series of anti-capitalist financial workshops starting on Feb. 22, according to the center’s website.
River Nice, founder of Be Intentional Financial, is leading the class as an anti-capitalist financial planner who “acknowledge[s] the harms of white supremacist” and “patriarchal capitalism,” while also helping “queer individuals and families use their money to get as close to their ideal lives as possible,” according to the center’s website. The planner claims to help clients with affording “life goals,” which include gender transitions.
🚨New report🚨
The Senate’s spending bills are loaded with fraudulent budget gimmicks, ridiculous pork projects, and make no attempt to reckon with the economic damage caused by inflationary spending. Congress must take a different path.https://t.co/hnUdR1kVcm

The financial planning classes feature one session per month starting in February and ending in July, covering topics like “financial emergency preparedness,” managing debt and “navigating queer-specific financial challenges” like getting life insurance as a transgender individual, according to the class notes. The class also offers advice on “how to avoid investing in things like private prisons and fossil fuels.”
While the funds for the William Way Center have yet to be approved, other funding for similar projects was approved in the last fiscal year, according to the Senate Appropriations Committee. The Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center in New York received $1,500,000, the American LGBTQ+ Museum partnered with the New York Historical Society received $3,000,000, and In Our Own Voices, Inc. received $750,000 for transitional housing for “LGBT and gender non-conforming” individuals.
“These are politically connected, financially sophisticated operations that do not need the money,” David Ditch, senior policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “This goes beyond just a ribbon-cutting ceremony; this is ingratiating themselves with political and financial elites who are the big money donors — whether it’s personal campaigns or whether it’s PACs — which makes these earmarks so much more insidious than just, ‘Hey, the federal government is actively funding the left’s sexual ideology.’ These are practically in-kind donations to reelection campaigns.”
The William Way Center, Fetterman, Casey and Be Intentional Financial did not immediately respond to a request to comment from the DCNF.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.
Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as “infanticide.” They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a “gender transition” that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.
Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America’s economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as “violent extremists,” “domestic terrorists,” “white supremacists” and “insurrectionists.” Indeed, they’re currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden’s chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.
None of this constitutes “politics” in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.
The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA?
