The battle over funding for USAID is absolutely glorious for so many reasons.

Not only are President Trump and Elon Musk beginning to defund the piggy bank being raided by the transnational elite, the alphabet activists, the global left, and not coincidentally, NGOs, which are causing so much damage to the U.S. and the world, but they are forcing the communist/globalist crime syndicate to defend the least popular spending item in the federal government.

No issue has galvanized Leftists as much as the “temporary” closing down of USAID. Communist/Globalist crime syndicate leaders marched to the USAID offices and made impassioned speeches about how vital it is to U.S. interests.
Some of the waste is catalogued below:
USAID has been completely unaccountable for decades, run by bureaucrats with agendas who believed they answered to nobody.

And here are more of the ridiculous projects on which they spent OUR money:
— $7.9 million to teach Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid “binary-gendered language”
— $20 million for a new Sesame Street show in Iraq
— $4.5+ million to “combat disinformation” in Kazakhstan
— $1.5 million for “art for inclusion of people with disabilities”
— $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala
— $6 million to “transform digital spaces to reflect feminist democratic principles”
— $2.1 million to help the BBC “value the diversity of Libyan society”
— $10 million worth of USAID-funded meals, which went to an al Qaeda-linked terrorist group
— $25 million for Deloitte to promote “green transportation” in the country of Georgia
— $6 million for tourism in Egypt
— $2.5 million to promote “inclusion” in Vietnam
— $16.8 million for a SEPARATE “inclusion” group in Vietnam
— ~$5 million to EcoHealth Alliance, one of the key NGOs funding bat virus research at the Wuhan lab
— $20 million for a group related to a key player in the Russiagate impeachment hoax
— $1.1 million to an Armenian “LGBT group”
— $1.2 million to help the African Methodist Episcopal Church Service and Development Agency in Washington, D.C., build “a state-of-the-art 440 seat auditorium”
— $1.3 million to Arab and Jewish photographers
— $1.5 million to promote “LGBT advocacy” in Jamaica
— $1.5 million to “rebuild” the Cuban media ecosystem
— $2 million to promote “LGBT equality through entrepreneurship” in Latin America
— $500K to solve sectarian violence in Israel (just ten days before the Hamas October 7 attack)
— $2.3 million for “artisanal and small scale gold mining” in the Amazon
— $3.9 million for “LGBT causes” in the western Balkans
— $5.5 million for LGBT activism in Uganda
— $6 million for advancing LGBT issues in “priority countries around the world”
— $6.3 million for men who have sex with men in South Africa
— $8.3 million for “USAID Education: Equity and Inclusion”
— USAID’s “climate strategy” outlined a $150 billion “whole-of-agency” approach to building an “equitable world with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.”
For decades, USAID bureaucrats believed they were accountable to no one—but that era is over.
President Trump is STOPPING the waste, fraud, and abuse.
All the ranting about Musk and DOGE is merely a side show.
What actually brought about the main event that is now playing out for all to see was:
DOGE auditors entering the inner sanctum of an obscure agency that purports to feed hungry children but, in reality, showers everyone from Hunter Biden’s business partners to Leftist news organizations to transgender opera companies [with fraudulently obtained U.S. tax dollars].

Communist/Globalist crime syndicate leaders called for millions of Americans to flood the streets in support of LGBTQIA propaganda, and sending U.S. tax dollars to ISIS and al Qaeda, and funding “independent media” around the world.

Not coincidentally, USAID funds the censorship complex that has been oppressing people around the world.
BREAKING: 🚨 DOGE UNCOVERS USAID-FUNDED INTERNET CENSORSHIP OPERATION IN LONDON – RUN BY NINA JANKOWICZ! 🚨 🇬🇧🇺🇸
The TRUTH is out—USAID was secretly funding a massive misinformation & internet censorship project in London, headed by none other than Nina Jankowicz—Biden’s… pic.twitter.com/6CuUrF9HIy

They even grandstanded on the House and Senate floor, with Chuck Schumer warning ominously that DOGE might audit the IRS as well.
Deranged Senator Spartacus is screaming at the top of his lungs about Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
He vows Democrats will fight on all legal fronts to stop the shutdown of corrupt USAID and the work of DOGE.
The grifts are coming to an end.

Imagine that fellow Patriots.
“The inspector general concluded that [an org funded by USAID] “lacked the policies to prevent sexual exploitation & abuse in USAID-funded programming.”
USAID opted to not suspend or cancel its funding with the charities found to be engaging in pedophilia.

Using himself as the bait, Donald Trump has lured those of the communist/globalist crime syndicate into a trap. Surprisingly, some prominent Leftist political operatives have determined that, but the insiders who have long been on the take and have grown careless do not seem to realize they have been had.
To wit:
After three months of soul-searching about how to revive their party, some [Leftists] believe they have finally found a rallying point following Donald Trump’s presidential victory.
Billionaire Elon Musk’s campaign to dismantle the federal bureaucracy piece by piece at Trump’s behest, starting with the U.S. Agency for International Development, lit a fire under many [Leftist] lawmakers—several of whom rallied Monday outside USAID headquarters.
But relaunching the resistance to defend one of the least popular corners of the federal budget could be a monster miscalculation—and some prominent [Leftists] have serious strategic reservations about how their party is fighting back.
When asked whether the Left was “walking into a trap” on defending foreign aid, veteran strategist David Axelrod stated:
My heart is with the people out on the street outside USAID, but my head tells me: ‘Man, Trump will be well satisfied to have this fight.’ When you talk about cuts, the first thing people say is: Cut foreign aid.
Rahm Emanuel—former House leader, Chicago mayor and diplomat—stated much the same:
You don’t fight every fight. You don’t swing at every pitch. And my view is—while I care about the USAID as a former ambassador—that’s not the hill I’m going to die on.
As We the People suspect:
USAID turns out to be the heart of the beast, so [the Left is] forced to defend it to the death, but to the average American, it screams ‘foreign aid’ and ‘woke idiocy,’ and as the details of the spending come out, the outrage will only grow.
"The inspector general also found that “USAID does not maintain a comprehensive internal database of sub-awardees,” meaning the United States cannot identify, vet, or track many of the organizations that ultimately receive U.S. funding.https://t.co/GOaN9H4eMw

As the communist/globalist crime syndicate continues pouring political capital into a fight they cannot win, they are reminding people of why they threw them out of power.
What the Left has here is a true conundrum: They must fight for USAID because it is one of their key funding sources, but they must not fight for it because it identifies them as the terrible politicians they are.
The Politico scandal is worse than you think.
It’s not $8M that Politico received from USAID.
It’s $34.3M that Politico has received from various swampy federal govt agencies.
Politico is, without a doubt, a totally corrupt propaganda arm of the swamp.

NOTE: When President Trump resumes sending rice and beans to starving children, most of the mild opposition will evaporate.
As our new Secretary of State says, nobody is losing their needed aid; only waste will be eliminated!
The Democrats have always been the party of Drama Queens!
But it must be tough for them to lose their little fundraising scam. pic.twitter.com/j363xfJewR— 🇺🇸Steve2A🇺🇸God🇺🇸Family🇺🇸Country🇺🇸 (@lakemonstercl1) February 6, 2025
God speed to the Trump-Vance team.
