“It is really, really a sad day in America,” Rep. Ilhan Omar declared at a rally by Democrats outside USAID headquarters protesting President Trump’s reconstruction of the aid agency.
It wasn’t a sad day for America, but it was so for Somalia.
Over the last two years, USAID had funneled $2.3 billion in “humanitarian assistance” to Omar’s native Somalia. Last year it reported a request for $1.6 billion in aid and even with the Biden administration on the way out the door, it sent an additional $29 million in December 2024.
USAID support for Somalia had doubled under the Biden administration and with $3.3 billion from USAID allocated in the last 5 years, the end of the USAID gravy train for the Islamic terrorist state of Somalia must have been a painful blow for Omar, who is very close to the Somali regime. Former Somali Prime Minister Hassan Khaire had reportedly celebrated that “the interest of Ilhan are not Ilhan’s, it’s not the interest of Minnesota, nor is it the interest of the American people, the interest of Ilhan is that of the Somalian people and Somalia.”
It’s unknown if any of Omar’s Majerteen clan members benefited from the billions in American money, but considering the prominence of the clan in Somali politics, it’s likely to be the case.
Somalia, along with other Islamic terrorist entities, including the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in Gaza, were among the top beneficiaries of USAID cash.

USAID provided over $3.7 billion to Afghanistan since the Taliban took over with $832 million in the previous fiscal year alone. The money was so unaccountable that USAID refused to cooperate with the U.S. Government’s Afghan War watchdog tracking money going to terrorists.
Even while the United States of America was at war with the Houthis, the Iran-backed Islamic terrorist group firing on US Navy vessels, USAID continued to direct billions of dollars to Yemen.
In 2024, USAID announced a $2.7 billion aid request for Yemen and allocated $753 million. In the last 5 years, USAID provided an estimated $3.4 billion in aid to an enemy terror state.
Other Islamic terrorist states that have heavily drawn on USAID include Pakistan which harbored Osama bin Laden, but benefited from $600 million in the last 5 years. While some American towns and cities lacked clean drinking water, USAID labored to build plants for Pakistan’s majority Muslim population even while it engaged in the persecution of Christians.
USAID spent over $700 million on Iraq during the last 5 years even though the country has long since been governed by Iranian puppets whose militias have been firing on American soldiers.
$3.4 billion was directed to Syria over the past 5 years by USAID even as it was caught in a civil war between Shiite Islamists aligned with Iran and Sunni Islamists aligned with Al Qaeda.
USAID allocated $1.1 billion to spend on Lebanon even as the country was run by Hezbollah.
While USAID is unable to function in Iran, between Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, over $8 billion was sent to Iranian puppet regimes even without counting the money spent on Gaza.
In total, USAID had spent some $18.5 billion on Islamic terror states over those 5 years.
This is not a full list of USAID spending in Muslim countries, but only those countries whose governments are closely interlinked with terrorists, sponsor terrorist groups or serve as puppets of terror groups and states. Some of these countries are actively in a conflict with the U.S. They include countries responsible for the murder of American soldiers and terror attacks in the U.S.
USAID has sent $9.3 billion to Islamic terror states collectively responsible for killing over 3,000 American soldiers. Not only did Islamic terrorist states and groups kill us, but in the ultimate obscenity, we have rewarded them with millions of dollars for each of our murdered soldiers.
The reconstruction of USAID under the full umbrella of the State Department rather than as a ‘super-NGO’ advancing anti-American interests across the globe has been met with outrage by Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Jim McGovern, Sen. Chris Murphy and other longtime shills for Islamic interests in America who worry that the money for Islamic terrorists won’t be there anymore.
But we ought to ask if sending $18 billion to Islamic terror states is helping our national security.
USAID has provided massive amounts of funding for the UN and NGO ‘non-profits’ which operate inside terrorist areas with little to no oversight. Special exemptions have been handed out to allow distributors of ‘humanitarian aid’ to partner with and do business with terrorists.
Including some of the Islamic terrorist groups that America is still at war with.
USAID’s partnerships with foreign governments, and with large unaccountable organizations including the UN and the World Bank, have raised concerns of money laundering. The revolving door between USAID personnel and some of the non-profit and for-profit groups who all profit from it has also raised questions about the legitimacy of those arrangements. And USAID’s active efforts to deny information about its activities to SIGAR, the U.S. government’s Afghan war watchdog, as well as to the incoming Trump administration, makes it a rogue agency.
It may never be fully known how much of our foreign aid went into the pockets of Islamic terrorists, but the USAID freeze and consolidation under the State Department can help make sure that the aid pipeline stops being a way to fund the Islamic terrorists killing Americans.
Why USAID is a national security threat.
I seldom publish the entirety of Mr Greenfield's articles, but this one is too important not to have VERY widespread coverage. Yes, your liberal slush-fund, hard at work.
Until Jan 20 2025.

I hope there is a plan for our government to get back every dollar from the people who received the billions that DOGE is uncovering. That alone would probably solve all our debt problems and eliminate federal taxes!
Pay it back or go to an El Salvador prison?
Sounds good
SECRETLY AND DELIBERATELY FUNDING OUR ENEMIES, WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT? I CALL IT TREASON
After 30+ years as a software engineer, I can say those young coders are having a blast.
Long, long hours and loving every minute.
Aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States. The top USAID officials and on down need to be tried, convicted, and sentenced to a short drop and quick stop.
So we the United States are the leading funder of terrorism in the world!
Got it
In the early 70’s my best friend and I were driving from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa. I had read about the WW2 Enterprise selling for under $500K as scrap. We came up with a scheme to buy an old aircraft carrier, anchor it in international waters, declare independence, declare war on the US, then surrender and apply for aid.🤑
I will neither confirm nor deny whether a state of altered conscientiousness was involved.🥴
Indict,Try, Imprison, Rinse, Repeat.
ITIRR.

Strongly agree!
Not so.
But just behind Iran, Russia and China as state sponsors of terror?
Yeah, Nuland and Powers should be viewed as terrorists.
The sheer number of lefties that burrowed into the US Gov’t over the years is unbelievable.
Thank God for Trump’s whiz kid Big Balls getting into the system before they even had their welcoming party for his team.
Trump is amazing. This term he hit the ground running at lightning speed. He’s put the deep state on their heels, along with the enemedia.
I’ll bet Big Balls has already uncovered Harry and Meghans money came from
Royal grifters
We have seen the enemy and the enemy are us!
Thanks for posting. BTTT
Long, long hours and loving every minute.
I can relate to that. Two years ago, I was assigned to reconstruct the accounting records for one of our resorts. I spent roughly 4 months, and 200+ hours of overtime on that project. All told, I uncovered over $5 million of fraud and theft.
May those young coders continue with their important work.
When opportunity knocks....... open the door
They were given a beyond fantastic opportunity
