Rubio said they would not even respond to Congress.
They will now.
The ones all along giving money to Hamas, the Taliban, etc.?

I like the concept.
But I have read a lotta tweets about USAID in particular being a hotbed of poltics and deceit so . . . I’m not gonna stand up for it without more info.
USAID is a money laundering washing machine.

Shut it down!

Rubio said. "But if you go to mission after mission, and embassy after embassy around the world, you will often find that in many cases USAID is involved in programs that run counter to what we’re trying to do and our national strategy with that country or that region.
They’ll notice. just not today.
It’s possible that it will work out. More likely that it doesn’t long term.
See that’s logical and makes sense.
National strategy with that country or that region.

You shouldn’t.
I actually like the idea of the functions of USAID being run by the State Dept. It creates a more unified front and lessens the chances of two separate departments doing things to contradict each other.
I never heard of it.
These criminals were scalp deep in the 1st impeachment.
Good for trump. Clear out the gay mafia.
Now just consider if Kamala had won? The rampant, corrupt, government waste would have just continued on. I can’t wait to hear the MSM’s POV and what their sheople will regurgibleat about this here in Hannity Land.
But now who’s going to fund the trans opera in Ireland and the trans comics in Peru and the DEI programs in Mongolia? Are these not things of vital national interest? And who’s going to step up and provide 3 billion a year to the BBC now that we aren’t
anymore? Stupid Trump. He’ll probably waste the money on hurricane victims in North Carolina or fire victims in LA now!
IMPEACH 47!!
It’s easy to poke at the Woke crap USAID was going to. But it’s troubling how much of it ended up in Jihadists’ hands.
MEF Report Justifies the Overhaul at USAID
The Data in ‘Terror Finance’ Paint a Clear Picture: USAID Is Complicit in Financing Jihad
https://www.meforum.org/press-releases/mef-report-justifies-the-overhaul-at-usaid
For example, a 2018 article revealed that, with USAID’s explicit approval, Christian mega-charity World Vision funds Al Qaeda in Sudan. Or a 2024 report showed USAID grant recipients working hand-in-hand with Hamas jihadists. Many other jihadi groups have prospered thanks to unwitting U.S. taxpayer patronage.
USAID package found in Hezbollah weapons cache
“The U.S. must ensure that taxpayer funded aid is not distributed to US-designated terrorists, or their allies.”
https://www.jns.org/usaid-package-found-in-hezbollah-weapons-cache/
Evidence that U.S. aid has found its way to terrorists in Lebanon emerged almost as a footnote in a video of a Hezbollah weapons cache posted to X on Oct. 13. A box marked “USAID” (United States Agency for International Development) appears in the background.
The box, also featuring the logo of the World Food Programme (WFP), a United Nations organization, is not even remarked upon by an Israel Defense Forces officer as he details the weaponry his men found in Southern Lebanon.
The JNS article mentions the UN’s World Food Program, but we’ve also seen how the UN’s UNRWA has been complicit with Hamas in Gaza. Heck, some of the recently-released hostages said they were held in UNRWA camps!
I have no qualms about USAID finally getting some discipline under the eye of the State Department.
Getting a handle on what USAID is really spending on is healthy.
From a FOX report:
USAID has been increasingly questioned by Republicans over its alleged funding of research relating to the coronavirus at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as well as millions in aid that supports LGBT rights abroad, and dozens of millions of dollars for migrant crises in other countries, like the nearly $45 million slated to provide emergency food assistance and economic support for Venezuelan migrants in Colombia.
Rubio is being diplomatic in saying things like: “(USAID) needs to be aligned with the national interest of the U.S. They’re not a global charity, these are taxpayer dollars. People are asking simple questions. What are they doing with the money?” he continued. “We are spending taxpayers’ money. We owe the taxpayers assurances that it furthers our national interest.”
When money and resources are actually going to our enemies, it’s time to shut off the main valve and fix the plumbing.
