Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria and South Sudan

To give aid to these predominantly Muslim countries (okay - S. Sudan is more Animistic) would be a blatant violation of the 1st Amendment, sez the 9th Circuit.

It is WRONG to use food to make fuel when people are starving to death. What is wrong with you?

We have plenty of energy sources without having to use food to power a Cadillac.

ISIS could’ve sold those millennia-old statues and fed who knows how many.

> It’s also not America’s problem.

Bingo! You could send them farm equipment and plenty of seeds to them and it'd still be sitting unused years from now. They'd wonder why America was so evil they didn't do a McDonald's burgers and fries or Popeye's fried chicken drop. That's the type of minds you're dealing with

Everything I needed to know about famine I learned during the 1980s famine in Ethiopia. After all of the heart wrenching appeals, concerts, and vids of starving kids so much aid flooded there there that Ethiopia announced that they were going to start exporting food. People there were still starving.

Let them starve.
It’s how nations used to destroy their enemies.
All these famine holes are nests of radical islam.
Let them starve.

I guess 20 million is the magic number.

If you give them food they’ll just have more babies. Keep them out, send no money except for massive birth control measures.

The United States of America is NOT the World Wide Welfare Agency. The Constitution makes no provision for succoring the poor of the world. Charity under the Constitution is a matter for private citizens. There would be much more of it if the government left that money in the hands of the citizens and it would be much more efficiently spent. It would not have to support bloated bureaucratic salaries and offices.

Famine is a continuing reality in the modern world. All modern famine is caused by government.

Moslem alms are unavailable to infidels and are not spread widely in Moslem countries. The direction in the Koran is for alms to go first to family and nearby poor. The Koran does not direct relief to go to infidels or to other Moslem “nations” or sects.

Liberals’ charity is theft from citizens with more orfewer esources to effect enrichment of government employees and gain praise and votes from the recipients.

Moslems have a high birth rate and low agricultural productivity. They do it to themselves. They put a noose around their collective neck and haul themselves up to the rafter by pulling on the other end of the rope while choking out cries for aid from those who are less suicidal.

Publicity about homelessness didn’t happen under Hussein and will happen with Trump therefore, ergo and QED: Homelessness was not a problem until the Trump Presidency.

I say we drop bombs on the people that are hungry. That way they won’t be hungry anymore.
