USAID has been completely unaccountable for decades, run by bureaucrats with agendas who believed they answered to nobody.

Here are a few more of the ridiculous projects on which they spent YOUR money:

— $7.9 million to teach Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid “binary-gendered language”

— $20 million for a new Sesame Street show in Iraq

— $4.5+ million to “combat disinformation” in Kazakhstan

— $1.5 million for “art for inclusion of people with disabilities”

— $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala

— $6 million to “transform digital spaces to reflect feminist democratic principles”

— $2.1 million to help the BBC “value the diversity of Libyan society”

— $10 million worth of USAID-funded meals, which went to an al Qaeda-linked terrorist group

— $25 million for Deloitte to promote “green transportation” in the country of Georgia

— $6 million for tourism in Egypt

— $2.5 million to promote “inclusion” in Vietnam

— $16.8 million for a SEPARATE “inclusion” group in Vietnam

— ~$5 million to EcoHealth Alliance, one of the key NGOs funding bat virus research at the Wuhan lab

— $20 million for a group related to a key player in the Russiagate impeachment hoax

— $1.1 million to an Armenian “LGBT group”

— $1.2 million to help the African Methodist Episcopal Church Service and Development Agency in Washington, D.C., 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

— $2 million to promote “LGBT equality through entrepreneurship” in Latin America

— $500K to solve sectarian violence in Israel (just ten days before the Hamas October 7 attack)

— $2.3 million for “artisanal and small scale gold mining” in the Amazon

— $3.9 million for “LGBT causes” in the western Balkans

— $5.5 million for LGBT activism in Uganda

— $6 million for advancing LGBT issues in “priority countries around the world”

— $6.3 million for men who have sex with men in South Africa

— $8.3 million for “USAID Education: Equity and Inclusion”

— USAID’s “climate strategy” outlined a $150 billion “whole-of-agency” approach to building an “equitable world with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.”

For decades, USAID bureaucrats believed they were accountable to no one — but that era is over.

President Trump is STOPPING the waste, fraud, and abuse.

I would bet that only a fraction of these amounts actually reached the intended party(s).

The rest is kicked back dark money to use to influence our elections and other pet projects that tear down America.

Sunshine is the best antiseptic. The government can always apply the rules and reporting of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to their own activity. Now that would be interesting, depending on who does the review.

So much for “congressional oversight”.

Our “public servants” haven’t been doing their jobs.

Each senator and representative is paid $174.000 per year.

We should not be paying taxes, period.
US citizens are no more than indentured servants to the fedgov.
This was due to Wilson in 1917. Stop the IRS tax scheme NOW!!
Can you imagine if you were able to keep all the money you worked for?

Musk was not wrong when he called USAID a criminal organization.

Glad to see it’s being dissolved.

every single line item should have an investigation trace it back to the individual who requested it and trace back the money. if it did good work fine if it did what we think it did, sue to get the money back. every penny drive them into the ground.

Search for any country and you’ll see we are financing the world. Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Mozambique, Bahamas, El Salvador, Ecuador. Try searching for your state and see how much fedgov money they take.

And we wonder why much of the world hates us. Imagine being a foreign citizen and seeing USAID funnel millions and billions of dollars into your country to enrich tyrants and promote decadence that is an anathema to your culture.
