Flagrant waste of money and misuse on the woke agenda by the nation's foreign aid agency, USAID which was discovered by DOGE, has led to plans to absorb it into the US State Department. To this end Secretary of State Marco Rubio is being named Acting Director of USAID.
Some of the waste and abuse discovered by DOGE includes;
- $38 million to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for gain of function research
- numerous DEI grants such as one for $1.5 million to the Serbian "Group Come Out" to push LGBTQ hiring in that country
- $500.000 tp expand atheism in Nepal
- $50 million to send condoms to Gaza, some of which were used for makeshift weapons
-$15 million to the Taliban for contraceptives AFTER that group had prohibited use of them in Afghanistan
- $2.5 million for electric vehicles in Vietnam, which resulted in one (1) vehicle charging station being built
- a "transgender health care clinic" in India and TransCare clinics across Vietnam
- promotion of "transgenderism" in South America including printing "transgender comic books in Peru and funding a "transgender opera" in Columbia
- a major program launched in 2023 to advance "non-heterosexual initiatives" around the world.

Getting control of this rogue agency was long overdue.
Here is a good editorial on the subject of USAID:

As usual, Bolshevik Bob, you are ALL left wing opinion, but NO fact.

That's why opinions are like a-holes. Everyone's got one.

Steve: Regardless of how President Obama is represented by the Democratic Socialist Propagandistic Media, he will always represent the second most corrupt administration, but the first Non Patriot Presidency in modern times.
The most corrupt presidency of modern times, of course, will always be Idiot President Biden. I cannot imagine that Non Patriot President Biden will ever lose his lofty position as America's greatest traitor as president. |
Before it became "woke" in the second Obama administration, USAID did not get into all of these leftist political agenda operations. That is my assessment from actually knowing quite a few people who ran those programs on the ground in eastern Europe. It was early in the second Obama administration that the wokeness started arriving in USAID. Keyboard warrior Bob has never had any contact on the ground with people who actually ran these programs, so all he has to go on is what his talking points tell him to say.
I am not surprised at the new reports of USAID funding of both promoting left oriented media here in the US and suppression by censorhip of right oriented media. It had emerged much earlier that they were funding a major pro-censorhship organization based in the UK that targeted conservatives. It is sad to see what has become of USAID under Obama and Biden. It once was an agency that accomplished a lot of good. |
USAID was interfering in domestic American politics, not only by funding the leftwing "Politico" but also funding US-based censorship groups that were targeting conservative news outlets. Not only does USAID need to be shut down but those who ran it need to be ptrsecuted for their diversion of taxpayer funds to domestic political purposes. They need to be in prison. www.thegatewaypundit.com

The wokesters put in place by two woke presidents, one white and one black are actually who corrupted USAID. It is beyond saving.
|
The black guy did it again.....did not see that coming!
heehehehehee |
The recipients of USAID money are not just foreign wokesters. The leftist Democrat propagnada sheet "The Politico" published in Washington, DC. received $81 million from USAID. How is THAT "foreign aid"???

It looks like USAID functioned the way it was supposed to as set up by JFK until the second term of Lbama, when it was injected with the woke mind-virus. Then under Biden, it got an even bigger nose of the woke mind virus. The patient, USAID, was then in such dire shape that all that could be done was to put it out of its misery. The good Doctor Musk diagnosed the problem and eliminated the cancer it has caused.
As to "keyboard warriors", I think that would be Bozo Bob who only repeats the far left talking points he is given. Has he ever talked to anyone who has run a USAID program abroad. Heck, has Bobbie even ever traveled a hundred miles from his house? No, I didn't think so. |
Ah, the simplistic world of the keyboard warrior.

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? |
