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.

Lot of this "USAID" paid stuff is fake... been making rounds on social media of late... but I am gonna speculate Jmyrlefuller is probable right in nipping this in the bud until actual links support it.

   I think it was the Chamber of Commerce that paid TIME to put Stalin on it's cover.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

snopes will sort it out.  They are the gold standard when it comes to fact checking.

I don't see a link, perhaps they just photoshopped the NY Post on it to make it seem trustworthy.

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.

And how do you know this?  You work for Time, or are you the auditor for their books?

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.

Eh, you are the one who made the assertion it was a lie.

Burden is on you to prove 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.
