Uganda upset at lack of condoms, lubricants — blames USAID funding freeze
American Thinker ^ | 02/18/2025 | Eric Utter

Uganda (or its NGO racket at least) is hopping mad that, as a result of the temporary freeze on funding placed by the Trump administration on the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), it is no longer able to secure condoms and lubricants.

"People will die," said one.

Say what?! The freeze has been in effect for just a few days.

Moreover, I didn’t know the U.S. was, for some reason, solely responsible for providing Ugandans with condoms and lubricants.

Of course, I was also blissfully unaware that Uncle Sam was funding abortions and “transgender care” around the planet, or that we were paying for “progressive” news agencies around the world to mock and demonize us, often by way of outright lies. Even as we were funding their most cherished programs. Amazing.

And I thought that perhaps USAID was primarily tasked with providing aid to poorer countries stricken by natural catastrophes and other disasters with basic food and shelter.

Hah! Nope, our taxpayers’ money was mostly spent on social engineering and anti-American propaganda.

Why wouldn’t we want to pay for that?! No wonder the U.S. has been used, abused, and taken advantage of by friends and enemies alike in recent years. We have been world class chumps.

Time to level the damn playing field.

But back to Ugandan sexual proclivities. What kind of place would even admit it depends on another nation for its condoms and lubricants? The Ugandan government has told these characters to just transfer the condom operations over to public hospitals. But for these NGOs, that's not good enough.

How embarrassing! Are they incapable of making their own? What other countries rely on condoms from the United States? Does Iran count on sexual lubricants from “The Great Satan?”

A little self-respect might be in order.

Freeloaders are upset that they will no longer get free rape kits?

Probably a good spermicide, as well.

Know I'm going against the grain on this one, but perhaps, based on the contents of this article, preventing Ugandans from reproducing may actually be money well spent.

Not to get too graphic, but in most parts of subSaharan Africa, “dry” is the preferred way to go. Lubricants are typically frowned upon... at least according to the few friends I have known from down in those parts. It always struck me as weird, which is why it is stuck in my head.

So, isn’t providing condoms to Ugandans racist, or something?

Totally racist.

Since when have Democrats let racism get in the way of grifting taxpayer money.

Apparently Ugandans go through condoms and lubricant REALLY fast.

Thanks for playing into the stereotypes, guys....

I can tell you from person experience that sometimes when you are overly generous with someone who is down on their luck and destitute, they stop doing for themselves. Despite your giving to them unconditionally, they become resentful - seething hatred, ungratefulness and jealousy starts to consume them even though they smile to your face and tell you they love you. They begin to actually think that your hard earned property and money is theirs and are entitled to it even thought they have set the bar low for themselves, their families and their lives.

Not everyone, mind you, but I am seeing it more and more often and have pulled back from helping friends, family and strangers.

Years ago, before he was President, Donald Trump talked about our enemies and how we were being taken advantage of and how we were hated by those we gave the most to. How many countries reach out to us when we have tragedies????? Some but not many. This has been one sided for far too long.

The Ugandans need to buy their own damn condoms and other recreational crap. And get some humility.

“Sounds like an opportunity for some enterprising Ugandan.”

“Enterprising Ugandan” doesn’t exist. There was nothing but huts in Africa till the Caucasians came.

Clean up your own government corruption and I’ll bet there’s plenty of aid to help your people.
