Biden's State Dept. Gave $25K to Ecuadorian Drag Queens
JIM TREACHER SUBSTACK ^ | 5 Feb 2025 | Jim Treacher

Two of my favorite things in the world are reducing the size of government and watching leftists cry in thwarted frustration. We almost never see the former, and there’s not nearly enough of the latter to suit me.

So I won’t pretend the last couple of weeks haven’t been fun. It’s amazing to watch Democrats wail and gnash their teeth at Elon Musk and his team of autists ferreting out government waste. A handful of nerds have lifted up the mossy rock of federal bureaucracy, and now we can see all the slimy little creatures hiding underneath.

Now, I’m skeptical it’ll do any good in the long run, because a politician has promised it will. As Barack Obama has shown us, promises are not accomplishments. But it’s a start. Maybe it’ll work. If it does, I won’t pretend otherwise. Less government is good, no matter who gets it done.

And I absolutely love the reaction to all these revelations of ridiculously wasteful spending. The Biden administration was utterly corrupt. Grandpa Joe has dementia, so the neighborhood kids were running around the house after nabbing the keys to the liquor cabinet.

Now Americans are finally learning how badly their hard-earned money has been wasted, and they’re justifiably pissed off at their self-appointed betters. That includes my favorite government agency of all: the State Department.

This sounds typical of Biden, he’s always been weird since 1974.

Every dollar of waste should be stopped but USAID spends 40 billion per year. We’ve heard of maybe, maybe $100 million of stupid spending. I assume and hope that Trump is slow walking the info on purpose to get everyone listening and then when he has the attention he wants, will drop the big dollars and corruption. Then DOJ will follow with subpoenas.

My problem with this is that we have no idea if any of that money actually reached the intended recipients. IMO it was actually siphoned off by politicians and bureaucrats. It was a giant free-for-all for Demoncrats and leftist NGOs. Until they provide proof that the money was distributed as recorded, I refuse to believe their stories.

This is not the 1980s anymore.

The MSM reach is a lot less than it used to be—and our team’s reach is much much larger.
