Two weeks later, U.S.A.I.D. was on the cusp of oblivion... Brought a smile to my face. Is that wrong?

I laughed at that line also, NY Times looking good.

For years, USAID facilitated rampant fraud and waste of our taxpayer dollars being spent on unAmerican causes, all the while fedgov complained about running out of money and needing to raise taxes even more!!
The fact that no one cares about this is unbelievably infuriating!!

It was nothing but a global corruption scheme to disguise bribes and payoffs as foreign aid and good will.
The only thing the US should do with respect to money is spend it on American citizens. The rest of the world’s beggars and crooks can pound sand.
We don’t need medical research and labs in foreign countries - where who knows what happens and LIKELY doing work that is illegal or prohibited in the US.

“But U.S.A.I.D. had come through the first Trump administration largely unscathed,“
And now we know full well why that was a mistake. USAID was the lefts air supply.

I would be fine with some of this spending if the government could be both efficient and effective.
They are neither. If someone thinks these programs are worthwhile, write a check

A ‘Big Beautiful Obiturary’ for the corrupt progressive parasites from the Slimes .... now who owns the ‘Slimes’ Nothing America First about these slugs....
Republicans are just as much at fault as any and alll corrupt progressive parasites ... When exactly did Randy Paul and missy Massie ever demand an audit of USAID ... Kentucky you surely can vote for people who actually care about US citizens ...

SATAN is using the Godless Reprobate Agendas to DESTROY NORMAL SOCIETY and the World 🌎🌍 with his old lies from Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis chapter 19
In America, Son of Satan Barack Hussein Obama and his Legion of Goats 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 work openly and by stealth (USAID for example) to accomplish Satan's Agenda of turning the whole world 🌍🌏🌎 into a 2SLGBTQ+ Version of Sodom and Gomorrah from Genesis chapter 19.
We ARE in the Days of Lot, just as prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself.
All According to SATAN'S Plan
Rainbow White House happened on Friday, June 26, 2015 - turning the White House into a Godless Reprobate Abomination

Do NO harm, Christians, but reject this
Godless Reprobate Agenda.

The only way I can see good happening is if there is some kind of aid organization (i.e., NOT USAID) that identifies the problem(s), the President concurs and ANOTHER executive agency controls and monitors money flow and efficacy. At the first sign of any problems, pull the funding immediately.
Regardless, we have no business showering funding on foreign countries when we have poverty like we do in Appalachia, et al.

Being the Times, they can’t seem to help starting off with a lie. That’s that phrase at the end of the first sentence, “... in defiance of the courts.”
President Trump has been extremely deferential to the courts, even when some district court judge issues a national TRO, far exceeding their authority, in a case they have no jurisdiction over in the first place.
But the Times did get one thing right. Tearing down USAID is a very consequential action. And one of President Trump’s best so far.

This has to come to a complete full stop. The government should not be wasting our money on promoting evil. Please Holy Father! We ask in the Name of Jesus!

The Godless Reprobate Democrats were turning the USA into an exporter of Satan's homosexual / LGBTQ agendas
That made the USA a potential imitator of the Harlot of Babylon city
