Sen. Kennedy Just Exposed More Absurd Things Democrats Shut Down the Government For (What gives? Didn't Musk & Co, already shut these down)
PJ Media ^ | 10/4/2025 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 10/09/2025 5:40:02 AM PDT by ma_che62

Kennedy didn’t hold back as he read aloud what Democrats are fighting to restore. “We found that under President Biden, they were spending $3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia,” he said. “We took that out. The congresswoman says, ‘We’re gonna shut down government until you put that back in.’”

And that was just the beginning.

“We found $500,000 of American taxpayer money for electric buses in Rwanda...”

“We found $3.6 million for pastry cooking classes and dance focus groups for male prostitutes in Haiti. I kid you not. I’m not making this up. It was in the budget under President Biden.”

Kennedy went on to rattle off even more examples of this:

$6 million for media organizations for the Palestinians.

$833,000 for transgender people in Nepal.

$300,000 for a pride parade in Lesotho.

$882,000 for social media mentorship in Serbia.

$4.2 million for LGBTQI people in the Western Balkans and Uganda.

Wasn't Musk & Co. supposed to have found and shut-down this wasteful spending?

Sounds like he was just reading the list of stuff that was shut down, that they’re wanting back.

20 million illegals were brought in under biden.

they were given a place to stay for free.
they did not have jobs.
how did they eat?
biden and crew covered it.
how much?

AT LEAST $2000/mon.

that’s $40 BILLION every month. $480 BILLION per year.

that’s almost the cost of the entire DoD.

was there a budget item argued over on the House floor?

NO.

The was no appropriation for that spending.

so where did the money come from?

That’s simple... if you’re a criminal.

you see, they all had a card they’d use to pay the bills.
a magic card with magic money that kept replenishing every month.
Elon called it ‘magic money making’

it’s otherwise known as DIGITAL counterfeiting

state actors pour money into a target economy to destabilize the country.

it would work against a smaller economy... instead we just got massive inflation.

What i want to know is... WHERE are the CHARGES ?

Of course all these (and many more) handouts had an NGO on the receiving end where a small percentage for ‘service & handling’ is deducted from the amount. The remaining dollars are ‘donated’ to the DNC. The kwheer bakers in Tanzania never saw a dime.

So they are nothing but faggots.
Interesting.
I don’t believe I have to put up with that.

Every spending bill for items like this needs to be stand alone, it’s the only way it stops.

When she was first elected to Congress, Cortez was asked how we were to afford the “Green New Deal” (the communist plan to destabilize the USA)

She said she would just spend the money without authorization and let nature take its course.

This is the plan, folks. The sooner everyone realizes we are at war, the better.

Treason on this scale is not resolved in court.

It should go farther than that. EVERY bill should be a stand alone. The bills are hundreds to thousands of pages long and no one reads them. These elected clowns look at the main gist of the bill and say yay or nay.

The items Kennedy exposed is likely things DOGE discovered and they are trying to get them back in. I seriously think those off the wall expenditures are actually graft.

And to think MTG (pronounced AOC) wants the Republicans to cave on the shut down.

Two ex-democrats turned out to be a blessing for the nation. Kennedy and Gabbard.

This was one of the sources of contention. DOGE found the waste, but the budget was going forward with it still included. What a mess!

Musk & Co. had zero authority to shut down anything. There mission was to reveal and identify.

No doubt, political payoffs.

It seems that as long as their personal grift (and most seemed to have some one way or another...look how rich these losers in congress are) went through, they were happy to pass “omnibus” bills without reading any of it and have NO accountability.

Why is no one being arrested? Because they are apparently all part of the grift. So many criminals...so little time.

The Democrats shut down the government because the Republicans would not restart and refund those items.

The Democrats are trying to reverse the “One Big Beautiful Bill”.

Musk had no power to shut anything down. All he had was the power to identify things that should be shut down. Some were by Executive action many had to wait for Congressional budget action.

The sad part is all that money is still floating around in the “continuing resolution” and the Demons want to add more. $1.4 trillion more making the yearly deficit almost $3 trillion.
