The reconstruction of USAID from an independent terrorist and international leftist funding entity to a subsidiary of the State Department has Democrats involved in the foreign policy apparatus freaking out and desperately trying to get Americans to care.
Here’s Sen. Chris Coons, former ‘bearded Marxist’, taking his best shot at it in the paper of big government.
Trump’s attack on USAID is an assault on Americans’ safety – Washington Post
Coons claims that “USAID’s programs, like all our foreign assistance, play a central role in combating extremism, promoting stability and protecting our homeland.”
The reality is USAID had us sending $600 million to Pakistan, $3.7B to Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover, $2 billion to the PLO and Hamas after Oct 7, and $3.4B to Yemen whose Houthi regime we’re currently at war with.
How does funding Islamic terrorists combat extremism and protect our homeland?
” Our foreign assistance and engagement wins us friends around the world, establishes our leadership and, more important, neutralizes distant threats to the United States well before they put our country at risk,” Coons claims.
“We know that in countries such as Somalia, Yemen and Syria, terrorists exploit security vacuums to develop havens from which to attack the United States and our friends — as the Islamic State did in the 2010s and al-Qaeda did in the run-up to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

sickening
yeah, right. shut it down.
The way to be safe from terrorists is to hunt them up at their day job and kill them.
news flash for Raskin...
The “carrot” method has not been working for years.
No more carrot.

Isn't it?
Lemme guess..
Women and children are hardest hit...
By “terrorists”, they really mean Leftwing activist groups in the US.
I can’t help but wonder how much USAID money financed the illegals and the NGOs supporting them

Biden the Blackmailed
WTF is this guy smoking? They should throw his ass in Gitmo.
That vid of them all dancing and happy and stuff...this is why they are doing that?
Because they are paying terrorists off?!
Sheesh!
The Senatorial chimps are melting down. They’ve lost it. Right now the treasonous bastards are refusing to accept the election results. The American people voted for Trump. Not their banana suckers. I don’t remember our side of America throwing all these tantrums when the extreme far left threw Joe Pedo the Molester and the Jamaican Hoo doo in the Potus and VP slots. And that bastard Bisexualden did whatever he wanted to do. He even scared crap out of SCOTUS when they said it was unconstitutional for him to buy diplomas for his Jr. Apes.
“Do as we say, and nobody gets hurt!”
“National Security” = National Pilfering
This is but one of the scores of USAID taxpayer funding pipelines that’s misdirected to undesirable individuals & organizations, as well as to one phony NGO and sham charity after another.
Whatever happened to “No negotiations with terrorists”? These people are insano on the braino.
