USAID: British politician complaining that his wife was supposed to get $1M in USAID grants before Trump cancelled the contract. Rory Stewart's wife runs Turquoise Mountain Foundation, which exposes modern art to puzzled Afghan women.

USAID: The NGO which Rory Stewart’s wife works for just has its USAID funding cancelled, The Turquiose Mountain Foundation, teaches ‘liberated’ Afghan women about modern art like Duchamp’s urinal.

I hope DOGE investigates the United Nations funding.

Extreme left-wing organization grift. On their web page it lists areas of operation one of which is "Levant"

See? Now this one can just be put in the stocks straight away.

And the Biden kleptocracy claimed they ran out of cash so the Americans who lost their homes in the NC hurricane couldn’t be helped to find shelter. I’m surprised Mayorkas didn’t tell them to calm down and look at some goofy modern art paid for by some foreigner using their taxes.

“I think the Babylon Bee is going to go out of business.”

No, kidding. This limey scumbag’s WIFE is getting OUR tax dollars to who Afghan women “culture” including a urinal.

The outrage from nutnags whose gravy-training days are ending is hilarious. They believe right down to their core that they have a right to taxpayer money to promote their own vision for the world.

Screw them.

Why do the women have to be puzzled? Got to give them points for creativity with these grant applications.

[PeterPrinciple]

We have so much govt money looking for a place to land,

rather than good ideas looking for money in the market place.

Rory Stewart's wife runs Turquoise Mountain Foundation, which exposes modern art to puzzled Afghan women.

That is a well-crafted sentence.

[Pajamajan]

Seriously? 🙄

[Irenic]

The gall! That wasn’t USAID’s money, it’s the US taxpayers! Get the UK to fund you, or one of those damn royals.

[Flaming Conservative]

Oh, the humanity!

[Magnum44]

puzzled Afghan women

WTF?

[V_TWIN]

“Turquoise Mountain Foundation, which exposes modern art to puzzled Afghan women.”

Just another example of what is more than likely THE worst grifting racket not only our country has seen but the whole world.

Rory was a leader of the “coup” which took out Bojo.

Bojo was a Bozo whose raw ambition caused him to take a side with the MAJORITY of UK voters who backed Brexit.

Rory and his one nation “conservative” crowd could not allow any leader of their party to lean toward representing the voters who elected him.

Rory and those atop the “Conservative Party” have all sold out to the Globalist one world gubmint scum.

I truly believe that the UK is a lost cause.

The comment section of The Daily Telegraph which is about the most “conservative” of UK rags still have a lot of folk that refuse to accept that Trump and his America First nationalism is the solution to woes and misery caused by NWO crowd.
