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

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-
