Sad state of affairs. We can't fund things at home but we are busy "buying stuff" for everyone else

Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for making us aware that while police departments across the United States are being defunded to appease leftists, the federal government is dedicating hundreds of thousands of dollars to advance “gender equality” in the “police forces” of a Latin American nation. It is a difficult foreign grant to swallow as local law enforcement agencies nationwide suffer through major budget cuts at the request of the increasingly powerful Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. The money will flow through the State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), a broad effort funded by American taxpayers to fight crime, counter production and trafficking of illicit drugs and build sound criminal justice systems in foreign countries.
In this case, Costa Rica will receive $200,000 from Uncle Sam to develop an empowerment strategy on gender equality for the Costa Rican National Police. This includes creating a system of theoretical and practical modules that facilitate strategies to train police officers on current gender issues, according to the lengthy lengthy lengthy grant announcement. The money will also fund manuals of good practices that will be applied in police and administrative activities and guides that will verify the application of gender equality in daily police and administrative work. Costa Rican officials will also use the money to hold the first “institutional meeting of women leaders in gender matters” that will help create a national agenda for the “empowerment of the police forces in the promotion of gender equity and prevention of gender violence in all its forms.” In the end a guide will be developed with the history of gender equality in the Costa Rican Ministry of Security and the National Police Academy.

Different pots of money but seems like we could use some at home first.
