To say that Democrats are unraveling over USAID revelations in a headline is an understatement. They’re outraged, not at the waste of taxpayer funds revealed by Department of Government Efficiency, but at DOGE for exposing it.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared a list of some of United States Agency for International Development budget expenditures at a recent press briefing.
$2 million
for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala.
$6 million
to fund tourism in Egypt.
Spent
$20 million on “Ahlan Simsim” — a new Sesame Street show in Iraq.
Over $4.5 million
to “combat disinformation” in Kazakhstan.
Up to $10 million
worth of USAID-funded meals went to al Qaeda-linked terrorist group the Nusra Front.
$500,000
to group that “empowers women” in an attempt to solve sectarian violence in Israel just 10 days before Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks. Awarded
nearly $25 million
to Deloitte to promote green transportation in Georgia (the country).
$4.67 million
to EcoHealth Alliance, one of the key nongovernmental organizations funding bat virus research at Wuhan Institute of Virology, in late 2021. Later
refused
to answer key questions about the funding.
$20 million
for the Strengthening Transparency and Accountability through Investigative Reporting program which used the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project as its implementing partner. The OCCRP was cited four times in the
whistleblower letter
that led to the Russiagate impeachment. USAID’s
2022-2030 climate strategy
outlined a $150 billion “whole-of-Agency approach” to building an “equitable world with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.”
$7.9 million
to a project that would
teach
Sri Lankan journalists to avoid “binary-gendered language.”
$1.1 million
to an Armenian LGBT group.
$1.2 million
to the African Methodist Episcopal Church Service and Development Agency in Washington, D.C., to build “a state-of-the-art 440-seat auditorium.”
$1.3 million
to Arab and Jewish photographers.
$1.5 million
to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica.
$1.5 million
to “rebuild” the Cuban media ecosystem.
$1.5 million
for “art for inclusion of people with disabilities.”
$2 million
to promote “LGBT equality through entrepreneurship … in developing Latin American countries.”
$2.1 million
so the BBC can strengthen the media ecosystem in Libya, “designed to value the diversity of Libyan society.”
$2.3 million
for “artisanal and small-scale gold mining” in the Amazon.
$2.5 million
to promote “inclusion” in Vietnam.
$3.9 million
to LGBT causes in the Western Balkans.
$5.5 million
to LGBT in Uganda.
$6 million
to advance LGBT in “priority countries around the world.”
$6 million
to “Transform Digital Spaces to Reflect Feminist Democratic Principles.”
$6.3 million
to men who have sex with men in South Africa.
$8.3 million
for “USAID Education: Equity and Inclusion.”
Another $16.8 million
to a separate group in Vietnam for “inclusion.”
And get this, the radicals at USAID were even bankrolling leftist leaning news outlets, including Politico. President Donald Trump pointed this out in his usual style at the National Prayer Breakfast.
Discombobulated ? That definitely explains Sen. Cory Booker’s meltdown after DOGE’s revelation of waste by USAID.
Methinks the left doth protest too much. Their unhinged reaction tells you all you need to know about the importance of USAID to leftist causes and strategies.
The Dems’ collective rage may have distracted in the past , but Trump’s return to the presidency has sparked a cultural shift. All their tantrums are doing now is further opening the public’s eyes to USAID as political influence operation of the CIA and State Department, and a massive money laundering source . Natalie Winters succinctly describes this process.
Leftists are in panic mode. Why else would Samantha Power go on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert to gaslight USAID as this benign and benevolent entity that saves lives? Check out this clip from X. You can Watch the entire interview on YouTube.
Why do leftist women always look so pissed off? But I digress.
Late Show Host Stephen Colbert has no idea what he is talking about. Defunding USAID is not unconstitutional.
Colbert is correct when he said USAID was created by President John F. Kennedy. However he left out an important detail of Kennedy creating USAID by Executive Order.
Why is this important? Executive Orders of one president can be undone by an EO of another president. Executive Orders usually last the term of the president , that Kennedy’s lasted for over 60 years means both parties benefitted from this department in one way or another.
Speaking of EO ‘s , President Trump’s rapid policy blitz is driving the left bonkers. Piece by piece, Trump is methodically dismantling the silos of Democrat influences.
Crews removing the signage from the building that housed USAID is symbolic of this process of defunding the left, removing spheres of propaganda and dismantling the Deep State.
MAGA is in full throttle and its only been three weeks since President Trump’ s inauguration. Frankly, it’s both hilarious and glorious to witness.
