Just one of the big moves President Donald Trump, and his administration, took on Monday was the shutdown of USAID, the government agency that for years has been handing out billions of American taxpayer dollars to other nations.
The closure happened when the administration ordered the agency’s headquarters closed down and told employees not to report.
Its exact future isn’t known at this point, but later in the day Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly was named acting administrator.
While bureaucrats fumed and leftists claimed the action would cause incalculable injury, Trump’s press office, with no fanfare, released a stunning list of the offensive projects that USAID had its hands, and American tax dollars, in.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Such as the “millions” that went to EcoHealth Alliance, the organization involved in research at the Wuhan, China, lab from which the China virus, COVID-19, likely emerged to kill millions around the globe.
Then there were payments for “hundreds of thousands” of meals … for al-Qaida-affiliated fighters in Syria.
And the projects seemed beneficial – irrigation canals, farming equipment and fertilizers – but it was in support of an “unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” which benefited the Taliban.
Then there were “personalized” contraceptives for around the globe.
“For decades, the United States Agency for International Development has been unaccountable to taxpayers as it funnels massive sums of money to the ridiculous – and, in many cases, malicious – pet projects of entrenched bureaucrats, with next-to-no oversight,” the White House said.
Other examples of “waste and fraud”:
- $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
- “Tourism” in Egypt got $6 million.
- And there was funding of “hundreds of thousands of dollars” for a “nonprofit linked to designated terrorist organizations – even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation.”
