How did this 'aid international development'?

There are people in the Horn of Africa that really could use some water wells.

I'm pretty sure this never actually happened and unfortunately, X-heads will believe any absurd claim they hope is true.

Yet we have an unbiased media.

I would think that Time is pretty well on the path to bankruptcy anyway

IIRC it was on the market a few years ago and sold for a whopping $0.01.

Show me where the original story is on the New York Post website, or any other known news outlet, besides some fringe blog or Youtube video, huckleberry.

Here's some help...

I've been bamblasted for my comments about Zellinskgrift here at TBR for years now.   But I am a mirror image of Tom Homan....   I Don't Care.

This is just another example of the concerted effort to prop the cred and rep of this puke.  Not only was he getting kissy kissy with Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer......   he was getting directly our tax dollars for a PR campaign.   And I f'n resent it.

First of all, I am the one who said it.

But here is the Post's entire archive of stories about Zelenskyy.
https://nypost.com/tag/volodymyr-zelensky/

The alleged USAID/Time story is nowhere to be found in that archive.

No, you're demanding that I prove a negative.  That seems to be par for the course anymore.
