Republicans typically push to give the State Department — which provides overall foreign policy guidance to USAID — more control of its policy and funds. Democrats typically promote USAID autonomy and authority.
Funding for United Nations agencies, including peacekeeping, human rights and refugee agencies, have been traditional targets for Republican administrations to cut. The first Trump administration moved to reduce foreign aid spending, suspending payments to various U.N. agencies, including the U.N. Population Fund and funding to the Palestinian Authority.
In Trump’s first term, the U.S. pulled out of the U.N. Human Rights Council and its financial obligations to that body. The U.S. is also barred from funding the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, or UNRWA, under a bill signed by then-President Joe Biden last March.
Among other things, USAID spent:
ReplyDelete$2.5 million to promote DEI in Serbia
$70,000 for a DEI musical in Ireland
$47,000 for a transgender opera in Columbia and;
$32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru
As an American taxpayer, we don’t want our tax dollars going toward this garbage, and that is exactly what Elon Musk has been tasked by President Trump to do.
You mean Trump permitted this?
ReplyDeleteWhere is the evidence or are they more lies from Trump and the MAGA world like the #100 million for condoms for Hamas or the crime wave or the DEI causing the plane crash or the illegal immigrant massacre in New Orleans?

ReplyDeleteGarnel I asked for evidence not a screed! It has been typical that Republicans object to foreign aid or even humanitarian aid and have said it was a leftist plot. They don't even want to give it to California! So called reports in MAGA sources like Fox News or the NY Post or speeches by politicians such as Trump or Musk does not constitute facts nor do your snarky comments. You live in a fantasy world and |I don't have any interest in a lobotomy so \I can live there also.
ReplyDeleteYou will reject anything I link to because it doesn't fit your narrative but whatever: https://dusiznies.blogspot.com/2025/02/usaid-funds-rockefeller-institute-which.html
ReplyDeleteGarnel bring me a quote from Wall Street Journal or an actual government reporting an investigation. There are reliable reporters Trump and Musk are not honest reporters nor is Fox or the NY Post
ReplyDeleteGarnel you really believe the hysterical cartoon is proof of something?! Anti Semites use the same approach at proof as do most bigots!
ReplyDeleteIn short, anything you disagree with is unrealiable.
ReplyDeleteNope! "You believe fake news I don't!
ReplyDeleteI used to play this game with DovBear. He'd demand proof. I'd provide it. Nope, he'd say. That's not proof because I don't think it is.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to play that game any more.
Something isn't proof just because it supports your claims. Basically if it were meaningful in a court of law and not just the echo chamber of conservative MAGA true believers.
ReplyDeleteSo you think reality is merely a game?!
