Barron’s ^ | December 3, 2024 | Agence France Presse

The United States will provide more than $1 billion in humanitarian aid for people displaced by drought or conflict in 31 African countries, US President Joe Biden said in Angola Tuesday.

The assistance would address food insecurity and other urgent needs of refugees, internally displaced persons and affected communities in 31 African countries, a statement from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) added.

"Today, I'm announcing over $1 billion of new humanitarian support for Africans displaced from homes by historic droughts," Biden said in an address in the Angolan capital Luanda, where he arrived late Monday for his first visit to sub-Saharan Africa as president.

Lahaina victims got $700, Helene victims $750.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone in Western North Carolina froze to death in their tent last night.

The message is getting through loud and clear.

Is this done partially as a thumb in the eye of Trump-supporting hurricane victims who are getting short-changed back home?

It seems odd he’s in Africa handing out foreign aid money, when he’s out the door very soon.

A new Congress and President will be in office soon.

Is he making promises he knows he can’t keep because he will be gone? Is any of this legally binding on the Trump administration?

Anyone with an IQ of over 8 knows that the people that need the help in Africa won’t get a dime. biden will get his 10% kickback regardless.

Maybe Trump can put a stop to the money payoff to Africa

“...by historic droughts...”

If these droughts are historic, then why hasn’t Africa done anything about it?

Seriously, is this guy looting and emptying the treasury ahead of Trump? Is there no congressional oversight remaining? He just flushes every last dime of taxpayer money out the foreign window?

Americans can pound sand. Suck it up buttercups! If you’re in need, you’ll get little to nothing. In fact, you’ll be expected to pay your taxes and keep working hard as you drown in debt.
There is no reason why Americans should be poor or struggling unless you choose to be that way.
So tired of pissing away our wealth enriching tyrants and dictators under the guise of helping. America first, dang it!

You watch, these “historic droughts” will buy a lot of arms and ammunition for untold number of African warlords.

He ran to the dark continent to hide from questions concerning his unprecedented pardon of his son.

Reminds me of the Russians destroying their towns and homes as they were being overrun by Nazis. That is, he’s doing as much damage as he can before Trump takes the reign’s of a nation gutted by the democrats.

Scorched earth. It’s what they are doing. They know they are done. The internet has destroyed the iron grip of the democrats and the MSM. They are being exposed at every turn and every facet of the daily news cycle. They are done.

And they know it.

You have to admit - his future will be an interesting one. He will have the money that was arranged in return for his stepping off the ticket this year. He will not get the usual book deal, and he will not get much speaking engagement revenue, post-presidency. He will either pardon himself, or Trump will pardon him - so no prison time, but lots of time in front of Grand Juries, and Congressional Committees. Where he will drool on the microphone.
