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.

What times I ever helped people in real need, I wound up regretting it and paid heavily.

I give to worthy charities.

We were duped into believing USAID tax dollars provided aid to poorer countries
stricken by natural catastrophes and other disasters, giving them basic food and shelter.

Where in the Constitution does it say we subsidize the sex lives of Ugandans?

I don’t believe that. Problem is that dumping aid on these countries thwarts their efforts. Who can compete with free goods?

I agree.

I’ve seen the same thing.

Entitlement mentality sets in REALLY, REALLY fast.

USAID/NGOs/State Dept has put the screws to Uganda for resisting the perv movement. Unnatural acts made them top five in AIDS at one point. They have gotten things more under control by resisting this garbage.

St. Charles Lwanga, Pray for Us! Pray for Uganda!

I want someone to answer me. I am CHALLENGING everyone reading this...

WHY are the global elites...why are "they"... pushing their childless lifestyle propaganda and sterilization sabotage on EUROPE and AMERICA, and NOT africa? Or India? Or China?

With all the sneaky crap people like Bill Gates is doing, and with ALL THE DEPOPULATION FOR SUSTAINABILITY TALK we have been hearing from the left over the years... not ONCE have they tried to decrease the population of the shithole countries.

WHY?

"stereotypes" -- that would definitely be true if the Ugandans only ordered these from the USA...

And get some humility.

A "Thank you" would be nice.
