Aside from unilaterally shutting down all the DEI bureaucracy in Washington and all the federal agencies, and the mass deportations of criminal illegal aliens, the most newsworthy action today is the shutdown of USAID, the federal outfit that disburses billions of your tax dollars abroad. Staff have been locked out of their offices and computers, and a few young software engineers are reviewing all the thousands of individual line items. This is mind-boggling. And, of course, the staff affected are screaming bloody murder. This is a good thing. I’ll bet you didn’t know that the money the government withholds from your paycheck is doing all these things. First, an excellent explanation of the agency itself.
Multiple people have posted this short list today, of a bunch of programs YOU are funding. You do need to click through to see everything.
For those of you not on X, here is a short list:
— $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities”
— $70,000 for production of a “DEI musical” in Ireland
— $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam
— $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia
— $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru
— $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala
— $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt
— Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations (even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation)
— Millions to EcoHealth Alliance, which was involved in research at the Wuhan lab
So, you get the idea. This is a Leftist Wish-list, paid for by American taxpayers, who until today have been totally unaware of the way their tax dollars have been used by an unaccountable federal agency of which many are not even aware. Foreign Aid is something that most Americans don’t pay much attention to, but that ends now. Trump’s Troops are bringing that awareness to the People, and we must get behind the effort to shut down this agency. Members of Congress get input into where this money goes, and I’m almost certain that every one of them has their “pet projects”. There certainly were a bunch of them strenuously objecting to this project today.
And how about this one?!
You can always depend on the DemocRats to engage in evil activities.

It’s not so much the sending of money to our enemies abroad that is concerning; those are simple to deal with.
It’s more the funding of the domestic enemies of the Republic. Although it would be intensely satisfying, I don’t think we should set a precedent by drone striking Bill Kristol’s mansion, or the offices of Politico.
Strike them with words and cutting off of taxpayer funds. That hurts them in the right places.
