In recent days, the Trump administration identified USAID programs ranging from contraceptives for Afghanistan to LGBT diversity programs for European countries as clear evidence that foreign aid needed to be paused and reevaluated, a task that fell to the Rubio State Department.

After temporarily shutting down USAID operation, the Trump administration defended the move, citing other left-wing causes that received funding grants from the agency. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt highlighted several when speaking with reporters on Monday, including $1.5 million for diversity measures in Serbia, $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru, and $70,000 for a DEI musical in Ireland.

House Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., also flagged other examples of USAID funding, including $15 million for condoms sent to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan and over $3 million for “being LGBTQ in the Caribbean.”

Of course it did.

This administration will prove to be historic (it is already)...

...if ‘they’ are not desperate enough to throw a grenade into the middle of it all to stop it in its tracks.

Stay frosty.

Seeing what USAID has been doing just confirms my view that these people are extremely vile.

That Old Serpent, called the Devil and Satan, has been pro-LGBTQ+ since the reprobate men wandered the streets of Sodom and Gomorrah and wanted to rape the two angels of the Lord God who came to deliver Lot and his family before the destruction. (Genesis chapter 19)

The sexual weirdo community knows how to play the system. They show up in all these stories of graft... or excess. I'm assuming the corrupt Washington Post and corrupt New York Times are all over this story... right? /s

One thing I’ve learned in life - the Rich never use their own money.

Soros is rich because he’s stingy. His causes probably have fingerprints all over this money.

Perhaps Pres Trump should announce a NEW aid program, one that actually gives aid to the needy, with very atrict oversight as to where the money is going- surely the left won’t object to that, right? Seeing how they scream and wail about how necessary usaid is- if pres Trump created a new fiscally responsible program, the left couldn’t scream and holler any longer (but of course they will because it is NOT the actual aid part of the corrupt usaid that they want, but rather to keep the $$ flowing to their corrupt special itner3st groups that have absolutely nothing to do with aid of any kind)
