Rep. Nancy Mace Exposes Biden Admin NIH wasting Millions on Transgender Research on Animals
South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace slammed the Biden administration for using more than $10 million in taxpayer money to fund ‘painful and deadly transgender experiments’ on mice.
According to Ms Mace, the experiments ‘forced lab animals to undergo invasive surgeries and hormone therapies.’
In a hearing last week, she detailed findings from the White Coat Waste Project, which revealed the NIH had issued over $240 million grants for transgender animal experiments, including $26 million in active funding to support studies into the effects of feminizing and masculinizing hormones in mice.
Ms Mace said in her opening statement: ‘The Biden-Harris Administration was so eager to propagate their radical gender ideology across all facets of American society that they did not pause to consider that such experiments are not only cruel, but unnecessary.’
The research sought to understand how hormones might influence wound healing, how gender-affirming hormone therapy impacts the immune system, reproductive function, and heart health.
Early stages of research like this are often conducted in mice because they share many genetic similarities with humans, making them a comparable model for studying human biology.
There’s no sign of grant funding being revoked, but the Trump administration aimed to cut the NIH’s budget. President Trump’s federal spending freeze initially disrupted NIH grants but was quickly reversed due to confusion.
Rep Mace said in an Oversight Committee hearing titled ‘Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies: Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty,’ that the Biden administration had allowed taxpayer dollars to fund ‘surgically mutating animal genitals.’
The studies identified by White Coat Waste received grant funds for a wide range of amounts from $48,000 to over $3 million. The organization provided a list of 10 problematic grants to the committee.
Justin Goodman, WCW’s senior vice president of advocacy and public policy, said the true totals are actually much higher: ‘Some of these tests examine the effects of sex party drugs or the impact of hormones used for human gender transitions on the size and shape of lab animals’ genitals.’
The study with the most funding on WCW’s list explored how estrogen influenced lung inflammation caused by asthma by administering hormones to mice.
The intended purpose was to understand the sex-specific effects of estrogen in asthma, with the goal of developing personalized treatments for women.
Another study, which received $1.1million in grant funding, investigated how sex hormones affect the way GHB – a rave drug popular among the LGBTQ+ community – is processed in the body.
The intended purpose was to better understand how sex hormones influence the transporters in the body that affect GHB’s clearance and toxicity.
Mice constitute around 95 percent of laboratory animals used in research, ranging from studies on gender transition treatments to potential cancer cures and heart disease drugs.
It is standard for any experimental medication to undergo animal testing, but while scientists can give mice hormone treatments to study biological effects, this does not make them ‘transgender’ in the way humans use the term.https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/html_modules/2024/09_SEP/240905-healthsubheading/index.html
Rep Mace cited another study in which ‘federal funds were also used to forcibly transition male monkeys to see if hormone therapy made them more susceptible to HIV.
‘Monkeys cannot be infected with HIV. Yet this federally funded experiment forced them to take hormone-altering drugs to study a virus they cannot have.’
Monkeys cannot be infected with HIV – human immunodeficiency virus – but they can be infected with SIV – simian immunodeficiency virus – which is a well-established model for studying HIV in humans.
Research on SIV has helped scientists better understand HIV transmission, progression, and treatment.
Mr Goodman said: ‘Taxpayer-funded animal testing is the poster child for waste, fraud and abuse.
‘Wasteful spending on animal testing is a government-wide epidemic that’s especially relevant to the Oversight Committee and this Subcommittee concerned with innovation and security.’

‘This Is Why Trump Won the Election” Joe Rogan Explains How Democrats and Their Pet Issues and Monstrous Spending Turned Off Voters in 2024 (VIDEO)
Writer and comedian Bridget Phetasy joined Joe Rogan on his hugely popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast this week.
During their conversation Joe broke down why Democrats lost and the tricks they play to toy with the American public.
Warning: Adult Language
Bridget Phetasy: It shouldn’t be controversial to want to audit our budget.
Joe Rogan: No. Americans have wanted this forever. Because it’s not just the money being spent. It’s what it’s being spent for and what’s going on, which is an enormous propaganda machine. A big part of the whole left-wing narrative that has overlaid our country over the last, whatever, eight years, 10 years, is all propaganda funded by our own government.
That’s right. This is why Trump won the election. People don’t really believe in these things. The amount of people that think that transgender biological males should be competing against your daughter in sports is so fucking small. But yet our own government was propping it up. Why are they propping it up? Because it’s a fucking beach ball at a concert. You keep it tossing up in the air and everybody’s distracted. As long as you can keep a few things going, here’s the things you’re going to keep going.
Abortion. Overturning Roe v Wade is so great for business because now it’s like a battle, the battlegrounds and women’s rights and their lives are at stake. Okay, that’s one.
Gay marriage. That’s a huge one. Now they’re going to take away gay marriage. Oh, my God. Bounce that fucking beach ball. That’s a gigantic one.
War is a giant one. All these different things are just fucking beach balls, and they toss them around every now and again. In the meanwhile, they’re just siphoning billions of dollars. Zelenski just said he’s missing $100 billion in the $177 billion that we supposedly sent there.
Bridget Phetasy: That was something weird, too, about Haiti, where it’s like only 2% of the money actually went there. It’s crazy. Americans give away a lot of their hard-earned money because they are actually kind-hearted and want to donate to countries that are… Then you find out it’s like some trans performance. There is a lot of nonsense.
Joe Rogan: A lot of nonsense in the tunes of hundreds of millions of dollars of nonsense.
Bridget Phetasy: And then they talk about it like, Oh, who cares? It’s only $10 billion. You’re like, You guys are out of your fucking minds if you think that’s going to be the argument that resonates with Americans.
Joe Rogan: Not only that, how are you going to say that?

Migrants turning around and heading back home in ‘new trend’ under Trump border crackdown
It’s the Trump turnaround.
Groups of migrants once bound for the US are throwing in the towel and heading back where they came from after the Trump administration moved to seal off the southern border, authorities said Monday.
The migrants are being forced to stop in their tracks and return south �� homeward bound — “due to increased border security” after President Trump ended the previous Biden administration’s risky “catch and release” program, deployed additional troops to the border and commenced a mass deportation effort across the nation, Border Patrol chief Mike Banks said on X.
Trump also forced Mexico to deploy 10,000 of its own troops to the border to help battle the crisis after threatening to impose a 25% across-the-board tariff.
Last week, authorities in Honduras discovered a group of 26 migrants from Venezuela and Cuba “traveling south back to Nicaragua” and another group of 23 others from Honduras, Venezuela, Panama and El Salvador “turning back from Mexico,” according to Banks.
“These individuals cited the heavy security posture along the U.S.-Mexico border and Mexico’s containment efforts as key reasons for reversing course,” Banks wrote.
“Families in these groups made a life-saving decision, avoiding the dangers of cartel-controlled territory, where extortion and violence are rampant,” the former Texas border czar added.
“Our enforcement efforts are working.”
The Trump administration has essentially taken a “zero tolerance” approach to migrants even claiming asylum, sources said.
