Inside USAID’s controversial spending: Where your tax dollars went
 
By The Washington Times Newsroom - Thursday, February 6, 2025
What’s happening?: The Trump administration has uncovered nearly $200 million in questionable USAID spending, from terrorist-linked food programs to transgender operas abroad. Here’s where the money went:

The biggest red flags:

$10 million: Meals that went to al Qaeda-linked groups
$75 million: Diversity and inclusion programs worldwide
Part of $150 billion climate strategy
 
Where the DEI money went:

Vietnam: $16.8 million for “equitable outcomes”
Education: $8.3 million for “equity and inclusion”
Sri Lanka: $7.9 million to combat “binary-gender language”
South Africa: $6.3 million for men’s sexual health study
Global LGBTQ initiatives: $6 million across “priority countries”
Uganda: $5.5 million for LGBTQ causes
Serbia: $1.5 million for workplace inclusion

Media projects funded:

Iraq: $20 million for local Sesame Street version
News Access: $8 million for Politico Pro subscriptions
Libya: $2.1 million to BBC for “media ecosystem”
Cuba: $1.5 million for media rebuilding
Colombia: $47,000 for transgender opera
Peru: $2 million for transgender comic book

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Vietnam already had 'equitable incomes', achieved by means of Marxist government.

Why the F are we funding the BBC?

Republicans just carved out another $20 billion for USAID in the upcoming fiscal year.  Can't wait to see what gets funded with that.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
