List of things that we have thrown money at for decades that are still happening or have gotten worse: (Feel free to add)

  • Hunger
  • Drugs
  • Climate hoax - never existed. When I was young it was the pending ice age and acid rain.
  • Elephants being killed in Africa - yes, my overly emotional aunt sent them money also.
  • Poverty
  • Border security - there is hope
  • Education
  • Social Secuity
  • Medicare/Medicaid

The only thing that I can think of that has gotten better is cancer. Any cancer used to pretty much be a death sentence. Now, there is advancement and perhaps more to come. The downside is that the pharma companies are going to profit or inhibit whatever the cure is.

PS if I see one more puppy food bank or ASPCA commercial, I am going to blow my tv up. Bob Barker was warning us about unprotected dog and cat sex in the 70's and 80's!

Liberty, cool idea. If I remember right, liberty is where you extort money out of one group of people under a social contract they never agreed to so that you can enrich yourself wildly while spreading some form of undemocratic tyranny around the world. That liberty?

Obama's mom worked for USAID and after he was born she continued to travel around the world after that root. So Obama was raised by his Memaw.

Plenty of experts have detailed how Obama was the first president groomed and supported by USAID.

So the end result is that your tax dollars were responsible for Obama's fist, second and third term by proxy.

But for the resilience of Trump and the incompetence and luck of some dumbass kid on a sloped roof we'd all be under the leadership of some brain rotted alcoholic woman and the general public would be none the wiser.

Somehow I suspect that nobody agreed or voted to fund these specific projects under USAID. Maybe they gave funding to USAID, but how it was to be spent was certainly never approved.
I hope you are correct.

Lets shut down WHO, shut down USAID. But????

Instead, let's turn our mission to some imperialistic, conquest...... (Alexander the Great type shh) by taking over Greenland, the Gaza Strip, Making Canada the 51st state, & renaming the Gulf, etc. etc.
All that was done before USAID was shut down…. Do you have any other reason why you are so mad USAID is being shut down?
Yes, clean up the corruption by singling out the individuals. However, you can find corruption even in a church. Should it be shut down based on its overall benefit to the community...... probably not.

US AID started in 1961, It help to establish American ideals in the post-World War II era: that we were the good guys and wanted to help.

Humanitarian aid in the wake of war is what separates us from barbarians.
Have you not seen any of the BS USAID was involved in? Or just choose to ignore it? Politico funding is not humanitarian aid!!! Give a me a ****ing break
Someone hasn't kept up. All aid has not been shut down. For the most part amoral, unethical, corrupt, dishonest and dishonorable aid has.

ETA; apologies to TexasAggiesWin, my response is directed @ BidFred

You truly have comprehension problems. Aid was was paused. Corrupt, anti-American aid, you know the aid to terrorists and the like halted, not clawed back.
Aid for truly humanitarian needs will continue.
Maybe you should at least try to distinguish between the leftist Democratic Party leadership bull**** and reality.

He left off the fact that the patient has diabetes and no blood flow to the foot. It is kind of like how covid killed people who also suffered a traumatic bodily injury from a car crash.

It's the entire staff Fred, their alignment of thought is with USAID and what they've been told to do. It may have started as good but it is clearly not now. Gut it and start it again with clear goals and transparency. They have no transparency and their goal appears to be furthering the progressive mind rot.

As a country...."leader of the free world"....you take on certain responsibilities as humanitarians. The symbol of all things good and free!!

You realize things aren't perfect, but the net benefit is TRUE to what America stands for. I believe you don't waiver from that.



But they did. USAID totally became distracted and pissed away cash that could have helped others.

It's hard to even wrap my head anyone still trying to defend USAID after all the corruption, nepotism and bribery that's already been exposed funneling through it.

If you are a government agency and you get money to solve a problem and actually solve the problem, then you do not get anymore money.

If you get money and virtue signal about how you could solve the problem if you only had 2% more money you have the closest thing to a perpetual motion machine that man has ever made

Nobody will ever go as hard as Trump gone the past 2-weeks.

Aside from Blackhawk Tuah flying into a landing passenger jet, the past two weeks is everything anyone could've dreamed it could be.

Exactly this:


Shutting down USAID and telling its field employees to return to CONUS has had zero appreciable impact, apparently. And we know most of the world is lightning quick to complain about America whenever they have a grievance.

Those responsibilities begin with a nation's own citizens at home. The proponents of unlimited fraud and waste as long as they get their famine photo ops don't really care about the state of the recipients of foreign aid. If they cared about the recipients then they would care about corruption and the fact that the seizure and theft of donated food by warlords prolongs the very wars and gamines that they claim to care about.

If you were being honest, you would admit that it's the lost political power and loyalty of the civil "servants" getting fired at USAID that matters to you. Food to the hungry matters less than the $84MM in payments to the Clinton family or the 97% of political donations by USAID employees that go to Democrats. Nobody believes your transparent claims about moral high ground. You are about protecting the wolves, not the sheep.

Hamas might have a tough time rebuilding their terror tunnels without USAID.



Money laundering and equipping our terrorist allies.
Quote:
USAID's involvement in this project sparks a chilling question: How could U.S. tax dollars be blindly funneled into a private venture, with zero oversight or accountability, empowering a terrorist organization? Worse yet, after funding Sanad to build the cement factory, USAID would later purchase cement back from that very same company. This circular flow of money seems less like an aid initiative and more like a dangerous money-laundering scheme, giving Hamas a steady stream of resources while making some very wealthy in the process.

With USAID now shut down, it's time for a thorough investigation into this $310 million disaster and subsequent purchases. The U.S. government must hold accountable those responsible for enabling a project that strengthened Hamas while squandering taxpayer money. USAID's complete lack of oversight is a betrayal to every American. USAID's actions are not a bureaucratic errorit directly contributed to the violence in the region. It's time for transparency, accountability, and reform to ensure that U.S. foreign aid never again becomes a tool for terrorism.

Big Fred still blaring that rusty trombone of the corrupt deep state, even after it's being proven in real time that they have been stealing taxpayer money and wasting it on foreign interference, global warming horse ****, and infecting foreign nations with their *** worship.

Amazing coincidence I'm sure.

These USAID Trump whack job details are my favorite threads on TA, just can't get enough of it.

Drain that damn swamp; and quit stealing from us, Democrats!
