The House on Thursday afternoon passed a rescission package that included eliminating $9.4 billion in federal funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting.

 

The package cancels money that was already appropriated by Congress in an effort to cement the Department of Government Efficiency's spending cuts.

 

The package passed in a 214-212 vote.

 

The package includes $1.1 billion in cuts for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, as the White House has said that NPR and PBS have "spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as 'news,'" and $8.3 billion for the United States Agency for International Development, as well as other international assistance programs.

The connection between Friday the 13th and the Knights Templar stems from the events of October 13, 1307, when King Philip IV of France ordered the arrest of the Templars, an event that contributed to the superstition surrounding the date.

This date is often considered unlucky in Western culture, and one of the reasons cited for this belief is the persecution of the Knights Templar.
