Here is a retired longtime army pubic affairs officer who calls out the way the info on the hellicopter pilot was handled by the army, in violation of army regulations. This further smacks of a coverup.

The pilot who was off course and far above the allowed altitude was the helicopter pilot. The real question is why she was flying where she was not supposed to be. It could have been negligence but it could have been suicide by pilot. Her state of mind is important to any investigation, and her social media posts are highly relevent to that.

Little Bobbie just wants to hush this up because she was a Biden White House aide and there is the possiblity that politics had something to do with it. He wants a whitewash.

Kangaroo courts and Stalin SHow Trials don't count, Bolshevik Bob. The American people have figured that out, if you would bother to read the polls.

DV surviviors will recognize who trump is based on his latest statement regarding Iran. Dopey says Iran will be obliterated if they assassinate him. While no one wants to see a US president assassinated the notion that Trump would start a nuclear war, thus taking all of us with him, in response to his death, might be the most significant insight into his personality.

It's like the guy who kills his wife and family rather than face divorce.

Dude, the president was arrested, charged and convicted of 34 felonies.

That's the problem with living in a lawless society. However since most of you are ok with that, you look like fools bringing up legal problems of others.

Southern Proverty does a good job. The fact they live rent free in your head confirms it.

Bob describes what USAID was in the PAST. Obama and Biden have subverted it to serve their woke ideology. When I woeked in eastern Europe, I knew quite a few people in the expat community who ran USAID funded programs. They were not all American. Some were Swedish, British, and Latvian, but the money for their programs was provided by USAID, and they were engaged in traditional foreign aid projects. The items listed in that Daily Mail article above are NOT such programs. There has been a radical change in what USAID does with our tax dollars under Obama and Biden and it makes a mockery of what USAID was originally founded to do.

One thing about USAID spending under Biden I found was particularly mindboggling. Afghanistan under the Taliban was one of the largest USAID recipients, getting over a billion dollars in 2023. This is an outright hostile government. Why are our tax dollars propping them up?

Foreign aid is one thing and used properly can be positive, but when an organization goes woke like USAID has, it starts spewign far left ideological crap. That is when it needs to be reined in, and President Trump is doing that. None of the expenditures listed in that British newspaper are legitimate foreign aid expenses. Heck, USAID even sent millions to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to do gain of function research on coronavirs which created Covid.

Well, your "net nanny," or whomever is responsible in shielding you Leftists from the emotional damage of so-called "hate speech," does have one exact thing in common with the former administration ... profound stupidity, and ...

That's bona fide.

Our net nanny at work dubs the BO a hate site and blocks it. I was bummed, but I get it.

This distortion of the mission of USAID happened during the second term of Obama. The five years I worked in eastern Europe spanned the second Bush term and the first Obama term. I knew many expats who ran USAID funded programs, and at that time those programs were what one would expect of foreign aid; technical assistance to farmers, technical assistance to the banking sector, technical assistance to media, and the like and wokeness was not part of the routine. A year or so later, during a week's visit, I had lunch with some of those expats and they were talking about how USAID was going crazy. Woke type programs were rumored to be coming, but what they were already seeing was woke demands on their own programs that they had not experienced before.

One demand was that reports on their own programming contain the number of homosexuals, the number of lesbians, the number of bisexuals, the number of transexuals, etc. by each category who participated. Previously USAID had only asked for numbers of women and youth. What was nuts was that this was a country in which sexual deviancy was extremely frowned upon and if anyone was a member of any of those categories they would never admit it. If leaders of groups they worked with were asked if they had any of those categories present, they would emphatically deny they had any of them in their organizations. Yet USAID was insistant that they serve these "underserved sexual minorities", so they just made up numbers to pretend that they were.

Obama tried to look moderate in his first term but went hard left in his second. That is when the distortion of prioties happened in USAID. When I was overseas, I never heard of USAID getting into this woke agenda, but that was prior to Obama's second term.
