When those three agree on something, we can be confident that they are wrong.

...the six-decade-old humanitarian and development organization, created by President John F. Kennedy as a peaceful way of promoting U.S. national security by boosting goodwill and prosperity abroad among DC Democrats.

Fixed.

Like most government programs and agencies, they always get morphed into an unrecognizable financial and political monster.

Bono’s band moved their tax residence out of Ireland and he does everything he can to shield his income; we don’t need lectures from this tax dodger on how to spend the hard earned money of the American working class. And we need no lectures from “Mission Accomplished” Bush who never seemed to have a word of criticism for Obama’s left policies or even to acknowledge Biden’s senility and the evil that his appointees brought upon this country. We don’t want your stupid advice, Mr. Bush.
