Yup—the emotional blackmail is pathetic—almost hilarious.

FAFO—mass media dirtbags.

So Russia, Europe, and China are going to let these children starve? How heartless of them! Maybe if Biden hadn't given billions of dollars to Zelinsky and "The Big Guy", there would be more peanut butter.

Europe can send the kids some Nutella instead. Australia can kick in some Vegemite too.

Oh, boo-hoo. If it’s in a USAID packet and you really care about it, just go ahead and distribute it rather than throw it away. Again, maybe if we stop feeding every malnutritioned African, their own country would start taking care of its people. We have kids in the US who are hungry, too. Feed them first, then if any is left over, sell it to the African nations. There no reason to expect the US taxpayer to feed everyone in the world.

If this is such a great idea have Bill Gates and the rest of the WEF billionaire boys club fund it. Another idea would be to have the local governments finally take responsibility for their people

When US Citizens who lost everything in natural disasters are being told “here is your $700 check, sorry we are too broke to do anything else for you”, the US Government has no business trying to fund everything for everyone everywhere in the world.

I have no obligation to take money I earn and need for me and my family and turn it over, by being forced, to anyone else.

The Lord told me to be charitable to others—but that is my personal obligation; He didn’t instruct the government to rob me to give it to others.

Come on now, CNN and ilk can be expected to do actual journalistic investigating can they? their dozen or so viewers might blow a gasket if they ever saw the truth.

The peanut butter paste has anti bloating agents infused into the paste. It helps keep the tribes in far away places slim and trim. Their only complaint is the U.S. tax payers didn’t include milk and jam.

What about the dreaded peanut allergies? Think of the lives we will save not killing them.

For Pete’s sake. So, REPUBLICANS are killing people by not feeding the spawn of welfare queens???????

Why don’t they use the money their parents get for food stamps or have the free breakfasts and lunches for nutrition.
