The Feds Spent $22 Million Researching Invisibility Cloaks, UFOs, and a Tunnel Through the Moon
However wonderful it is to imagine a world in which these things are possible, the government shouldn’t be shelling out millions to entertain speculation.reason.com

Even if it is, that doesn't mean it'll yield "useful" or "worthwhile" results.
Besides, I don't think the construction of a Moon tunnel will begin anytime soon, especially given the Herculean logistics and geo-engineering challenges that come with making even theoretically possible concepts a reality. In which case, I don't really see why they'd waste money on it, when it's definitely not happening within even younger generations' lifetime, let alone theirs.
Sometimes you try something to see what you get. It can be direct useful, have a by product that can be used or at least you have a proof of concept for a later project. This is called science. Even if it fails, you have learned something new.

My point is, why does it have to be on the public's dime that crazy projects like these need to be financed?
Just because it's "science", doesn't make it okay for the government to spend $22 million on endeavors that won't be useful, in the here and now.

Wealthy private entities won't fund "what the heck, why not?" projects like these just to see what happens unless said private entity is either very eccentric or very gullible.
Government setting aside a bit of budget for "this is probably total nonsense but you never know" projects can yield unexpected beneficial results when there are no preconceived expectations of utility in the near future and a good thing.

Number of US police officers murdered up by 59% - FBI
The head of the FBI says violence against police is a "phenomena" that "doesn't get enough attention".
www.bbc.com
"
Murders of police officers rose by nearly 60% during 2021, amid a wider rise in violent crime across the US, according to FBI Director Christopher Wray.
In an interview with 60 Minutes, Mr Wray said 73 officers were killed in the line of duty last year.
Murders of all kinds across the US have risen dramatically since 2019.
Mr Wray said violence against police was a "phenomena" that "doesn't get enough attention".
He said it amounted to an officer killed every five days. Around 1,000 people are killed in the US by police each year, although only a small proportion of cases lead to criminal charges.

And yet the FBI still refuses to release the official crime statistics. Officially they have problems with compiling it with new methodology. Unofficially, even with new methodology they can't make the ''BLM summer of love'' make look good, so they are delaying the release of crime statistics indefinitely.

Yeah, people in the developing world unfortunately still love Hitler even nowadays:
The Developing World Thinks Hitler Is Underrated
In the West, the Nazi Führer is thought of as a genocidal maniac — everywhere else, he’s considered a political inspiration.

Is this one of those stupid post-modern art thingies that is supposed to illustrate the relationship between Ldimir Elenski and Azov?Yeah, people in the developing world unfortunately still love Hitler even nowadays:

Dunno who elenski is,but Azov is group of nationalists,not nazis.They do not pray to Bandera and UPA,for example.
If you look for ukrainian nazis,you would found them in western Ukraine,Azow is made from people who live East.And now fight there.
When war is over,they would ne new,real Ukraine heroes,and i hope that they replace banderite fakes on monuments.
Roman salute,aryan-occult influence - yes,i see that.But,they are not banderites.
And,they hold kgbstan for 74 days so far.If that do not count as being heroes,that i do not knew what could.
